在 21 世纪，一个人不能没有计算机，但包括计算机在内的大多数电子设备所面临的争议之一是它们消耗过多的电力。在本文中，我们将了解如何借助一些简单的软件和硬件来测量 PC 的功耗。^{(Power Consumption)}

检查 PC 的功耗

您可以使用以下适用于Windows 10的 PC^{(Windows 10)}功耗^{(Power Consumption)}和电源计算器^{(Supply Calculator)}软件和硬件：

1. 外景
2. 硬件监视器
3. 打开硬件监视器
4. 侧边栏诊断
5. 功率计

让我们详细谈谈它们。

1] 外景

首先^(First)，我们有一个在线工具来测量您的 PC 的功耗^{(Power Consumption)}。它是最好的之一，因为它不仅可以提供瓦^(Wattage)数，还可以提供每年的能源成本。

要使用此在线工具，您需要访问 Outervision 的官方网站^{(official website)}。现在，它会要求您输入有关您的 PC 的信息，例如主板^{(Motherboard)}、CPU 内核^{(CPU Cores)}等。

对于两种不同类型的用户，有两种模式，专家^(Expert)和基本。^(Basic)“基本^(Basic)”模式要求您输入一些细节，并会给您一个非常准确的结果。但是，如果您是技术人员并且对“相当”准确不满意，请选择“专家^(Expert)”模式。它会要求您提供更多信息，但您会得到准确的结果。

2]硬件监视器

Outervision 很棒，但是如果您想要一些可以自动检测 PC 的所有组件并为您提供 PC电源^(Power)的详细报告的东西，那么请选择HWMonitor。

要开始使用HWMonitor，请从其官方网站^{(official website)}下载该应用程序。卸载应用程序后，您不需要做太多事情。该应用程序将自动提取所需的所有信息并告诉您结果。除了预测 PC 的功耗外，它还会告诉您其他信息，例如温度、时钟速度^{(Clock Speed)}等。

3]打开硬件监视器

接下来，我们有一个轻量级应用程序Open Hardware Monitor，如果您的目标是了解有关 PC 的所有信息，它是一个完整的软件包。这个免费的开源软件可以从Open Hardware Monitor的官方网站^{(official website)}下载。

这可能是您需要拥有的唯一应用程序，以便跟踪您的计算机，了解诸如Clock、Temperature、Power等信息。

4]侧边栏诊断

最后但同样重要的是，在我们检测 PC功耗^{(Power Consumption)}的软件列表中，我们有Sidebar Diagnostic。这是一个简单的应用程序，可以预测您的 PC功耗^(Power)并提供您计算机的详细报告卡。它有一个简单直观的用户界面，这可能是您获得这个免费工具的一个很好的理由。

5]功率计

如果您对跟踪 PC 的功耗^{(Power Consumption)}很认真，那么您能做的最好的事情就是投资一个功率计^{(Power Meter)}。它是一种可以检测 PC 功耗的外部设备。

使用它非常简单，您只需将此设备插入插座，然后将计算机的电源线插入其中。现在，打开你的电脑，功率计^{(Power Meter)}会告诉你你的电脑消耗了多少电量。这将是任何软件都无法比拟的准确结果。

为什么要密切关注我的 PC 的功耗^{(Power Consumption)}？

全球变暖^(Warming)和自然资源的灭绝不是开玩笑。我们可能有足够的特权使用这些资源，但有或将会有一群人将失去这些资源。因此，如果您知道您的 PC 的功耗^{(Power Consumption)}并且您认为它太多，您可以尝试以更“可持续”的方式使用它们，如果您不使用计算机，则关闭计算机，晚上关闭调制解调器^(Modem)，关闭打印机等。这样我们就可以为治愈世界做出贡献。

How to measure your PC's total power consumption

One can not live without computers in the 21st century but one of the controversіes that mоst electronic dеvices, including computers, deal with is that they consumе too much pоwer. In this artіclе, we are going to see how to meaѕure your PC’s Power Consumption with the help of some simple software and hardware.

Check your PC’s Power Consumption

You can use the following PC Power Consumption and Supply Calculator software & hardware for Windows 10:

1. Outervision
2. HWMonitor
3. Open Hardware Monitor
4. Sidebar Diagnostic
5. Power Meter

Let us talk about them in detail.

1] Outervision

First of all, we have an online tool to measure your PC’s Power Consumption. It is one of the best as it not only gives Wattage but also per year energy cost.

To use this online tool, you need to go to Outervision’s official website. Now, it will ask you to put information about your PC such as Motherboard, CPU Cores, etc.

There are two modes, Expert and Basic, for two different types of users. The “Basic” mode asks you to input some detail and will give you a pretty accurate result. However, if you are a techy person and are not satisfied by the “pretty” accurate, go for “Expert” mode. It will ask you to put a bit more information but you will get an accurate result.

2] HWMonitor

Outervision is great, but if you want something that can automatically detect all the components of your PC and give you a detailed report of your PC’s Power then go for HWMonitor.

To get started with HWMonitor, download the application from its official website. After uninstalling the application, you don’t need to do much. The application will automatically extract every bit of required information and tell you the result. Along with predicting the power consumption of your PC, it also tells you other information such as Temperature, Clock Speed, etc.

3] Open Hardware Monitor

Next up, we have a lightweight application, Open Hardware Monitor which is a complete package if your aim is to know everything about your PC. This free and open-source software can be downloaded from Open Hardware Monitor’s official website.

This can be the only application that you need to have in order to keep track of your computer, to know things like Clock, Temperature, Power, etc.

4] Sidebar Diagnostic

Last but not least on our list of software to detect PC’s Power Consumption, we have Sidebar Diagnostic. It is a simple application that predicts your PC Power consumption and gives a detailed report card of your computer. It has a simple and intuitive UI that can be a good reason for you to get this free tool.

5] Power Meter

If you are serious about tracking your PC’s Power Consumption then the best thing you can do is to invest in a Power Meter. It is an external device that can detect your PC’s power consumption.

Using it is pretty simple, you just need to plug this device into a socket and then plug your computer’s power cord in it. Now, open your computer and the Power Meter will tell you how much power your PC is consuming. This will be an accurate result that no software can match.

Why should I keep an eye on my PC’s Power Consumption?

Global Warming and the extinction of natural resources is no joke. We may be privileged enough to use these resources but there are or will be a crowd that will be bereft from these resources. So, if you know your PC’s Power Consumption and you think it’s way too much, you can try to use them in a more “sustainable” manner by switching off your computer if you are not using it, turning off Modem at night, switching off Printers, etc. This way we can contribute toward healing the world.
