How many watts?

[train22]

Hi guys,
was wondering how I can find out how many watts my cpu generates, I only know the speed and voltage, is that enough for calculating it?

[!-=sky=-!]

if i remember correctly there is a program called radiate that does this for you

try looking for it on the front page
probably is there somewhere

I did, and I got it, but it still asks you to input the stuff if you want to make a new profile, because the one they have for the AMD Tbird is only for a 2.05 max Vcore and 1500mHz. I want to find my wattage for a 1608mHz with a 2.06 Vcore. I want to find my C/W to see if it is consistent. I think the SK6s are rated at .16 with my Delta38 but it doesn't work for me I think:

.16x(estimate) 115 =18.5
Ambient is 23 so max temp should be around 41.4 yet that is hardly my idle temp which is 42.

Edit: It's suppose to give my idle or max temp? seems like Idle actaully so I may be wrong here but still I want to find my exact power.

I found this website that has a wattage calculator that is not too difficult to use. Mine was around 54 watts for a Duron overclocked to 900 mhz with Vcore of 1.82 or 1.85. http://www.benchtest.com/calc.html

that doesn't really help because that's only using the formula I know which is very simple to use. I just don't know the 1.4tbird default wattage to start with. I could of course work backwards by defaulting all my settings and backsolving for it using the estimated C/W of .16 for the SK6 but that's mearly as good as guessing.

that site's getting bookmarked...

Here is the formula:

NewWatts = MaxWatts*(NewSpeed/OldSpeed)*(NewVcore/OldVcore)^2

With this you don't need any applications...
