I used an online calculator
https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator
on this system with
i3-7100T (TDP 35W) supports up to 3 displays up to 4096x2304
ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro cooler
1 2.5" SSD
2 3.5" Hitachi Deskstars
4 fans
1 DVD writer
The calculator showed I'd be using 37% of a 300W power supply, 25% of the
installed 450W PS.
Finding actual power consumption of a motherboard is apparently brutal. Specs in
the manuals to mine say nothing about power consumption. DDG & Google in 20+
minutes weren't helpful either.
