Tips Reducing Power Consumption On Computer

Save power consumption is hard thing to do at this time because inevitably we always hung with electronic equipment such as computers microwave, refrigerator and other TV.
Based on my experience, the computer is one of the greatest devices using electric power. Moreover, when using it to play games with a high spec. We all know that the computer is using a high enough power, but if their distribution is for gaming then its power consumption will soar.
If you do not want to swell because of the electric bill because the computer would not want to have to use a trick which I also did and proved to be quite effective in reducing the power consumption. Maybe you are wondering how to upgrade computer equipment can save electricity? The following I will explain what components to use large resources and how to make them work more efficient:

1. CPU
CPU / processor is the brain of the computer is also able to use the power of 100watt on a computer with a high specification. Usually the latest model of processor technology has better power management which allows the processor to use less power in addition to better performance. Points higher on the processor core will be better. For example if we have a single-core processor, which means 100% power consumption at work.

Compare with if we have a Quad-core processor (4-core) which means 100% load when the computer is used will be divided into 4 (4-cores each 25%) with 25% power consumption remains. It also means lower processor temperatures, longer life and certainly smaller power consumption.
2. Upgrade Memori RAM
RAM memory has a very important role that greatly affect the performance of computers. RAM has a large capacity will not only increase the speed of your computer but will also save electricity usage. Stored on the RAM necessary instructions so that the computer can work, which means greater memory capacity, the more instructions that can be stored.

Meanwhile, when small RAM capacity then the frequency of write - rewrite the instruction will take place more often, which means the supply of electricity for a longer RAM meori. This will save a bit of electricity and of course performance increased dramatically.
3. Kapasitas Hardisk yang lebih besar

How capacity of hardisk influential against electricity usage? First we must know what the workings of the hard drive. In the hard drive contained disc disc continues to spin, head which functions to read and write data continues to move through the entire surface of the disk to find the data needed.
So for example, I want to find a movie on the hard drive capacity of 500GB and in full condition, then the head will move across the surface of the disk to find the data I want. And compare if the data is saved on the HDD with a capacity of 1TB / 1000GB.



Then the head only will browse half the section discs disk to be able to get movie which I was looking for. So that the discharging HDD a bigger will save you turnaround disk and the movement of head become more a little and certainly more save electricity.
4. Video Card

As I said at the outset that a processor can use up to 100 Watts of power. It was not anything compared to the VGA card with a spec gaming resource that can take up to 200 Watt. The saddest thing is we can not outsmart how to make this part can save electricity. Therefore, if your computer is more often used for office applications, video editing, image then it is better to use a VGA card that is not too big. There is also a motherboard that already include VGA Card but the quality is disappointing.
5. Power Supply


The whole point of which I discuss here, this is perhaps the most influential components in electricity savings if replaced / upgraded. Power Supply Unit / computer PSU, PSU for older models usually have little power efficiencies around 50-70%. This means that when you use a PSU power up to 100 Watts of electricity, then your computer's output to supply only about 50 Watt. PSU while the rest is used to supply the components in the PSU itself.
At the latest PSU usually has a better power efficiency even up to 80-90% with the lower heat of course. And the bonus is you get if you upgrade the PSU of course, a significant increase computer performance.

6. Monitor


Monitor / LCD computer display with the type currently widely used and it is the right choice. For old monitor / CRT usually takes 70-100 watts of electrical power. While on the LCD monitor uses only 40-60 watts with the same display size. In addition to the use of LCDs are also healthier because it does not pull out of the tube CRT radiation that can make eyes tired. There was also a lot of the other advantages of LCD monitors.
