CPUs

What do you monitor zhor PC?
36-38 watt is the consumption of the entire PC or only CPU?
38 watts for the entire PC in idle is normal and even a little

This consumption of the entire PC ? If Yes, then in the normal range (depending on iron can up to 70 Watts to reach, on average)
In games 200 Watts is the norm (even a little)
Maybe the problem is the PSU, then it is easy to calculate, loaded his 12 and 5 and comparing the input power -output.
BUT! The first thing the driver ... make sure the problem is not the software. To more reliable trim a driver issue, run storonoy OS type Knoppix with a DVD drive and look at consumption.
PS not a new Z77 chipset... the temperature of the bridge could increase due to drying of thermal paste (gum). Go into the BIOS and podluzi sound, balance and other load on the bridge - sometimes found probity realacci (or any) chip.
Open the PSU case, carefully check the capacitors, there might be swollen - then the bridge is heated ripples.
Also check what programs are running in idle and how much CPU usage/memory usage/disk consuming.

Not really. Switching-mode power supply is assembled in the flyback circuit (one-or two-stroke) of the transducer. Efficiency is nonlinear, and at small loads of the order of 5-20% of rated capacity (depending on scheme) are very low. But when the load is 50-75%( in some cases up to 90% of nominal), then their efficiency is high! Ie if say you kosarevski 500 vatnik, then the consumption of 40 watts winnings a small (though there are), but load it that way for 200-250 watts and it will wind a smaller electricity bill than the cheap Chinese Take out-sun assembled somewhere in the basement or the garage ;)

Yes, only PC

will conduct experiments to accomplish your goal.

Consumption dropped to 33 watts, disabling USB, network card, built-in GPU and zvukovojj.
However, the temperature of the bridge has not changed, maybe became slightly lower ((
PS X7 mouse eats 2 Watts

Consumption at idle more than normal. Because he wrote:

With this you have no problems. If the games consumption of 200 watts, that is also fine. Your CPU load eats about 80 watts, your video card, depending on the manufacturer, consumes from 120 to 131 W!!! In fact under load you should already have a consumption of about 200 watts just for the CPU and vidyuhi, but there is still the chipset, RAM, hard drive, audio, network card, etc. in One word you have the NORMAL power consumption corresponding to your configuration.
Look at the temperature of the bridge (any utility, though Aida64) if it is 40-50 degrees, then come down, if higher, then check the capacitors on the PSU (and next to the bridge - maybe swollen) or borrow someone's PSU and check. If necessary, change the thermal paste. Be careful. Don't scrape that off with a metal object, you better put a cotton ball soaked in solvent 646, then carefully remove the old gum, wipe clean with alcohol (or acetone) and apply a new one (if there is no such, then KPT-8 will fit, but better Alsil-3)
PS On account of the brand of thermal paste solvent and identified those that they know, so to speak of what was sold in St. Petersburg 12 years ago. Perhaps now in Russia you can get better thermal paste.
P. P. S. At worst you can always fit to the radiator of the bridge a small fan ;) ... Oh... and had the time and was motherboard South bridges from VIA or ALI when I had sealant to glue the heatsinks to them......

That's the same people, suck from a finger problem and run to the forum shouting help!!!111.

hot chipset in a simple not a problem?

Goroooo001
Uzniki where a lot hot, and you also in case there are no fans. In principle, a good PSU with active PFC and 80+ will give a more productive energy consumption.

By the way, you're the only person who was puzzled by the power consumption. And then the others I see don't care about the electricity bill. Disperse percent to 6 GHz, three cards in SLI blocks per kilowatt, etc.

Damn , 200-210 watt from GUZZLES a computer??? Some only vidyuhi if eaten two times more)))
Although I've been looking people don't really save money on electricity. That my father sometimes grumbles to save have to say , and have a PC you eats lektrichestvo (and I have something like this from the default). And he is often asleep when burning chandelier 6 bulbs and still screaming under the TV!!!
PS And generally , I don't know about you , but we have expenses for electricity of 500-600 rubles , but the heating 2500!!!

100-150 for the light
heating varies with applied heat.
