Hefemeister Lord Techie, Messages 9,093 Location Sweden Jan 1, 2010 #5 MoM is correct. No software will run while a computer is in sleep mode. A kill o watt is your best bet even though it will tell you consumption for the whole computer it is the best, most accurate reading you can achieve. Here are some load and idle power consumption charts for you: Intel Core i7 "Nehalem" 920, 940 & 965 XE Processor Review - Page 18
