OptiPlex 3080 Towerwith 260Wupto 85% efficient Power Supply (80Plus Bronze)
(5080 mt cooler)
Says 3080 in description but is actually for 5080 too.
cpu fan is AVC or Foxconn
12V 0.7A or 0.65A
multiply 12V and A
8.4w or 7.8w but that is if fan is running top speed constantly, which would be super loud
normal cpu operating via PWM and watt is a fraction of that.
Typically, a CPU fan cooler will use 1.8 watts of power and is rated at 12 volts.
