Guys, I think I'm gonna have to quit. I got my recent bill and I haven't had to pay over 100 bucks in the summer in a LONG time!! Sorry.

Ya, it's a commitment to higher bills for sure. I would be happy if I could keep my bill under $300 :cry:

Paulieg said:
I can respect that. I wonder if you could still run it with less than 100%, and maybe for 1/2 as long each day. That way you would still be participating without the high energy bills.

On a more positive note, welcome erocker everyone!!

erocker

(really need to get this smiley here too)

I'll stay but I'll just have it run at night when I'm sleeping.

I take advantage of a payment plan called Average Billing Payment and paid $109 last month. My next bill will come in a couple of days and I just hope that I didn't burn to much coal.

Everything helps dude! But if you can't afford it, that's okay too.

If my donations can only come in the form of rent and rent increases then that's how I'll make my contribution to society.

how much a/c do you use? A/c is pretty much kicking most of the time here.

Hey guys, i think we should open up a topic about overclocking for effeciency, not just pure performance i bet that would help out a lot.

THG has these two great articles that i'd recommend that you guys read.

For Intel i7 owners go there http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-core-i7,2268.html

Phenom II lovers go here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/phenom-ii-overclock,2267.html

You need more crunchers

I have purchased NO heating oil in the past 4 years

, but my electric bill has been as high as $550. Ran 48 boxes when I was full in. It would be 10F outside and I could still wear my gym shorts and flip-flops

I'm down to about 12 boxes now, so it may be a COLD winter coming.

Kei also started a thread here on TPU called Phenom 9850BE low voltage overclocking results! Although it may be specific to Phenom 9850 chips, there might be some useful info for all users.

Haha, that's a good idea! :laugh:

I linked a thread from OverClock where a guy was able to get about 3.6 at 1 volt on his 920.

I'm going to have to look closely at our power bill this year too as I just added the i7 and it's inside heating up the house...the Skulltrail and the Blitz are out in the shop so at least it's not making the AC run all the time.

Frankly I think it's the 52" LCD that's making the most heat in the house...that damn thing is like a toaster.

hopefully by then, I have some heat of my own, single i7 won't cut it.
