Yep, ask Paulieg about it. If I recall correctly, he shut down two 24/7 i7 machines or something and knocked off only $15 from the power bill/

Yup. It's only down like $15 from last year at this time. One caveat though, it is a bit warmer this summer. Still, crunching costs far less than some think.

GREASEMONKEY · Aug 7, 2010

On an average,ADDING five amd Quad core's and a six core ,crunching 24/7.And also including a window mount air conditioner to keep my basement temp in check.I've had an approximate increase of 30% elec usage.Which in my area would be around $35.00 to $40.00 per month.

It's about 10-15 bucks max.

Depends on where you are. It was $50+ for me to fold on my 8800GT and PS3, and crunch on the QX9650.

Prices that much higher there bro? That's crazy.

HammerON · Aug 7, 2010

Well lets see...

08/09 $88.00 i7 920 and E8500
09/09 $116.00 i7 920 and E8500
10/09 $106.00 2 x i7 920's
11/09 $106.00 2 x i7 920's
12/09 $165.00 3 x i7 920's
01/10 $148.00 3 x i7 920's
02/10 $92.00 3 x i7 920's
03/10 $180.00 3 x i7 920's
04/10 $180.00 4 x i7 920's
05/10 $204.00 5 x i7 920's
06/10 $168.00 3 x i7 920's
07/10 $88.00 2 x i7 920's

Of course the nice part is that I had many i7 920's through the winter so I rarely had to turn the heat on (only when it got into the 0 degress Fahrenheit

i have an E8400 left, just upgraded to a Q9550

and i dont have the money to build another cruncher atm and need a bit of cash

so if anyone want this for cheaps, like 40-50$ or what you find reasonable as i dont know what they go for in the US then shoot me a pm

ill take care of shipping

this is also in the crunchers helping crunchers thread

Chicken Patty · Aug 7, 2010

Guys I have taken down my i7 rig to start packing it along with the torture rack and all that. hopefully between today and tomorrow I will get the X2 running. THe i7 was not running WCG the last week anyways so actually it'll be a boost to the team, small one.

mstenholm · Aug 7, 2010

Sad that you have to let it go. Mine will back on crunching tonite, in two hours from now in fact. It still run a decent 4 GHz.

I need the money toward more important things right now. I will still have 8 cores at WCG and a GX2 at F@H so I'll still be crunching & folding pretty decently.

theonedub said:
WCG crunching sure is more cost effective than GPU F@H, sometimes I wonder if it would be more effective to have two bare bones i7s one for WCG and one for F@H rather than running power hungry GPUs. Opinions?

Sounds like a pretty good idea, although I'd consider a GT240 for each rig. My OCed i7 860 does about 16k PPD for folding, although I've heard that with the bigadv client it can do 30k+. Without a real GPU it's just under 200w.
A GT240 is close to 5k PPD and is like 55 or 60w, so not quite as efficient for PPD/W as an i7 rig, but still nice for PPD/$

What's happened? Sorry I'm so out of the loop :eek:

Are you moving CP?

Wile E · Aug 9, 2010

Finally got my AC fixed. Now I just have to lower my bills a little more, and I can crunch again.

Even part time crunching on that 980x would be incredible!

Mindweaver · Aug 9, 2010

I had the powersupply fail on the P9500 over the weekend... I'll be replacing it today. Hopefully i'll have it crunching before night fall.

@Mindweaver
You got a PSU already?

PaulieG · Aug 9, 2010

Just an FYI for the crunchers, as I prefer it goes to one of you guys, and I'll give a discount. I'm posting my primary custom loop for sale tonight. It includes an EK HF Supreme block (best block IMO), 655 vario pump, EK Coolstream 240 rad, 2 gentle rad, custom res from Cyberdruid, 1/2 barbs, and about 5 ft. of 1/2 in tubing.

I don't want to turn this into a FS thread, so send me a PM and I'll give you a price.

theonedub · Aug 9, 2010

Anyone ever read some of the papers that explain the project data on WCG.com? The information is way beyond what I can comprehend, but just by looking at the numbers you can see they need all the help they can get.

Crunch Strong! :rockout:
