How much power are guys who play all day consuming?

This time of year it helps with their heating bills lol

My box runs about an hour a day from 8 to 9pm est

I asked AI and it said these were the costs at average cost for 8 hours of gaming:
System 1 (i3-12100 + GTX 1080 Ti)   310W   2.48 kWh           $0.41
System 2 (i7-12700 + RTX 4070 Super)   341W   2.728 kWh   $0.45

Ordered a new kill-a-watt to check mine to see if it follows the predictions of power usage.   

I don't see figures for Memory, disk or SSD, motherboard, monitor,  fans....etc.  in projecting total system power usage.   

I have a M4A785 motherboard/amd phenom X2, two 7200jb hard drives, and an ATI HD5770 card.    I will compare real life to the numbers predicted by the websites.

That seems pretty low, would think it would be higher then that. Also dont think the listed rates are even remotely accurate, power cost is a lot higher for some people especially in ameren territory. they are outrageously high on price per kilowatt.

Edit - I have one of these to monitor real time electric usage in the house

Didn't think about that. I should find my meter and test it. No telling where it is with kids around.

I suspect you are right. I'm "shocked" every time I get my electric bill.

Researching Asrock Z690 Steel Legend motherboard with Asrock steel legend B580 graphics card. 

At least it would look cool in all white.
