Hi There,

Can someone tell me what is the power consumption of the d8b in watts.

Best regards

One of the other forum member listed it as 480 watts but I am not positive on that number being correct. Are you trying to gear up for a UPS or something?

Isn't it in the manual? Maybe only the Version 3. Seem to remember seeing it. I could be wrong.

Hmmm, it would seem not.

I have manuals for V2, V3 and V5... couldn't find it anywhere. SteveT is the forum member I stole the info from but I have no idea where he found it.

I don't know when, but I am going to probe it when I get moved in to some new diggs. I also want to know how much power it uses as electricity costs rise. There is a nameplate on the back of the CPU but I am not sure if that is the whole system - I think it should be though.

If you look on the back of the CPU there is information on there. Could you look and report back?

480w seems high to me?

Yep Phil, seems high to me as well. I looked at the ass end of two different CPUs and saw no info. in regards to juice used.

It was tested by me with a BRENNENSTUHL PM-230 (Fujitsu/Siemems Voltage & Comsumption Tester).

My PSU-CPU config:
Amptron CPU PM9800 at 166MHz
256 RAM (upgraded from 16 MB)
1 HD Seagate Barracuda (new)
Serial9 Card Sony (new)
Ethernet card
Logitech optical Mouse (new)
HP PS2 Keyboard (new)

478 watts/h


I hope this helps.
