[QUOTE="Rain_of_Miami"]Never mind. It's 563 watts. Not quite sure how you got 45 watts there buddy. it doesnt use 563 watts, are you crazy? My gaming computer, which is clocked like 15 times more than the ps2 is only using like 400 watts
ive got a meter the displays running watts. i dont have a slim but the fatty runs at 39w and standbys at 3w.kit352
The fat P'S. 2's have it written "on the power cable" that they consume 875 watts to run. You're telling me your little "meter" is going to defy the official calculations made by the very people who made the product? Whatever floats your boat, I guess. As for the other geniuses: To get watts: Multiply Input volts x output amps. This is stuff they teach you in grade 6 science... I am so not replying in this topic any more. I answered my own question, anyway. o^_^o 'Cause I'm cools beans.

what is writen on a power supply is the maximum wattage output it can handle not what the device it powers runs at. if u want to know the power consumption of the device u need a meter such as the "kill a watt" meter that tigerdirect and newegg sell. the meter plugs into the and u plug the power suply with the device conected to it and the display on the meter shows the power consumption in watts
