Welcome Alyx & Denbo1991

Seems that my email subs on some older threads have just stopped so I've lost contact with them (including this 1)

Just a question, for those of you that run clients 24/7, what kind of extra power usage should you expect? Also, just to get an idea, how much more are you guys paying for your electric bills? As of now, I am running 2 computers dedicated to folding/BOINC, but I also installed clients on 3 other computers.

I just dont want to be suprised when I get that electric bill

A C2D system with an efficient PSU and no other power hungry components has a total power draw of about 100W. Unless my math fails me badly that's ~900kWh for an entire year of crunching 24/7.

You should take a look at this test of real system power requirements @ SPCR for reference.

Welcome to the TeAm, Denbo1991.

Woah! ,only 100w? :Q have you measured that at the wall?
What speed is your C2D?
If so then that's way better than my XPM @2.5GHz as that draws 180w at the wall running DPAD! ,though my Sempron 3100 @2.5GHz only draws 130w.

Whoops, sorry. The 100W was a bit of an exaggeration.
It's an E6400@2.4GHz and it draws ~95W from the wall (w/ ~75% eff. PSU). Well, according to my power-meter anyway.

The two other machines are a little hungrier though: A64 3000@2.0GHz draws ~110W (w/ a POS ~66% PSU) and E6600@3.0GHz draws ~130W (w/ ~82% PSU).

All systems running various BOINC projects.

lol ,well that's even better then!:Q ,I can't wait til I upgrade to C2D
Btw have you got both cores running BOINC on the C2Ds?

Of course.

 

[Assimilator1]

Even more amazing how power effiecent the C2Ds are! 2 cores @ 3GHz draw less power than my single core XPM @2.5GHz ,I've just got to upgrade now to save power heh

Exactly!

Well, after two months this thread has become unstickied ... I'll do some stats this weekend, and then we will see what happens!

im assuming you mean total ghz??

Because a 5ghz C2D machine would be incredibly impressive.

Infact i would love to know your settings and which cascade system your running.

 

[Alyx]

I have 1 C2D 6400 at 3.4 watercooled and a DS3 board and another 6400 stock. Nothing too special. 5GHz would be impressive

I think he meant 2.5Ghz/core
