Reddit reviews Excelvan LCD Display Smart Plug Power Meter Energy Watt Voltage Amps Meter with Electricity Usage Monitor Reduce Your Energy Costs

No.. Never leave them 24/7.. I'm talking from Experience they will melt literally and is a huge fire hazard. They're meant to get a reading and remove! If u want one to leave 24/7 then get a commercial grade one. \

EDIT: I have this one.. Read the reviews. couple of post showing exactly what happened to mines at 1100w https://www.amazon.com/Excelvan-Display-Voltage-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00E1E1XA2

The Aeotec Nano switch https://amzn.com/B06XWSJJ98 includes power monitoring and can be controlled by an ordinary wall switch. Many "smart plugs" (probably a better choice if your apartment is a rental) include power monitoring - check out https://amzn.com//B01N4SGR3A ... I don't know of any wall switches with power monitoring.

Others will disagree but I've found the power monitoring feature (which I have on several circuits) to be of limited continuing value. You can use an inexpensive device like https://amzn.com/B00E1E1XA2 to check power consumption and adjust your habits and equipment accordingly.

You could get some of these to see what is using all your power:

Hi there, I have experienced something like this twice. If you are sure that everything is in order and there are no obvious billing errors, I strongly suggest you get a clamp ammeter like this:

Power all circuits down in your house, switch everything off. Put the clamp over the inlet cable and see if there is power running through, if there is, something is broken or wrong, call an electrician. If not, then power each device or item up, one at a time and look for things that are drawing excessive electricity.

I had a beer fridge fail one day, but it did not die, the motor decided to run 24/7 somehow not freeze the beer, but just keep drawing. I've also dealt with a faulty fluorescent basalt that was drawing way more power than it should have been, even while seemingly working fine. In both cases, there was a sudden cost spike and my utilisation increased significantly.

Clamp meters allow you to measure the power without exposing the cables, so this is safest if you're not electrically savvy. I would also suggest a device like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Excelvan-Display-Voltage-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00E1E1XA2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500148919&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=power+meter+plug&psc=1

You can use this occasionally to test and check equipment or appliances are not over drawing. Some of these plugs have the ability to state the cost of the electricity being used, a useful tool to gauge the cost of running or owning appliances.

I would say reset BIOS and stress your pc for 5 hours, see if anything happens. If it does check for an error code. It might be your ram or your motherboard. Get a device to monitor wattage and voltage, maybe the power source is faulty.

depends how many GPU's are in the rig, if I'm running a 4 GPU rig I can usually get away with a 750W since I under volt.
I just built a 7 GPU rig and put a EVGA SuperNOVA 1300W G2 in it, it's a beast.

The safest way to know is to buy one of these - https://www.amazon.com/Floureon-Display-Voltage-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00E1E1XA2/
