temp and summertime

[Continuity28]

I'm still using a 130nm Clawhammer, so I'll probably have to back down the minimal overclock. 😛

So for change of seasons... which there is little to none (unless your in the restaurant or tourist business) I don't touch any OC settings related to temps.

69-72??? WTF.. I pay $300 power billls for an apartment in the summer just to keep it at 77! Your bill has to be ungodly.

I am in SW Florida and I have 3000 SF under air and a 14000 gallon pool. At 78 degrees my bills hover around 275 in the hottest months and average under 200/month for the year.

Back on topic: I don't touch my OC's for the summer, I keep my q6600's @ 3.1 and near stock voltages for every day use. I have my little server (e1200) running undervolted (1.25) at stock speeds 24/7... I may go a little lower with it
