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?
 
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! 🙂

I'll join in for a while with F@H. Normally I'm folding for another team but since Anandtech is one of the main sites I read I'll help with the push for 21! Folding under name Alyyx. 5GHz of Core 2 Duo goodness and a graphics card.

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