Power Cost

Ever wonder how much it all really costs? Every game, every render, every night your PC sits running. Power Cost shows what your PC is drawing right now and turns it into money, live on your XENEON EDGE: watts, cost per hour, and what this session, today and this month have cost you so far.

It starts with the US average electricity rate. Enter your ZIP code to use your state’s average, or type in the exact rate from your electric bill. Power comes from every reading Libre Hardware Monitor and iCUE can find. If you have a Corsair power supply that reports power, it measures the whole PC.

Part of a matching set! Hardware Monitor, Hardware Monitor Dials, Weather and Radar, Calendar, Clock, Battery, Now Playing, FPS, Fan Monitor, GIF Frame and Game Launcher use the same themes, palettes and edges. Put Power Cost next to a Large Hardware Monitor to make one seamless dashboard, or mix and match any combination and keep one consistent look. Check out the full set by clicking Atomic at the top of the page!
