Inspired by @Mussels thread here lets see how efficient are our rigs when crunching. This can also be useful as to know the expected PPDs for different configs. So if you have a power meeter feel free to post your results and I will add it in the table. Please in this form

I would be interested to see some laptop figures. (Intel M series etc) low watts, 8 (+) threads.
Will post my Xeon when shes running and will generate some figures for my Crunching Celeron.

@krusha03 ....good thread Dude.......an important thread. :clap:
I t will be interesting to see how much efficiencies have changed over time.

You can get one for like $10

The thing for me is that I haven't been running my laptop 7 days full time so can't say what the average ppd is with great certainty
 
i dont have a watt metter either... so dont know how much it consumes,
grat thread by the way,

Regards,.
 
I no have a watt meter either and actually don't think I want to know what my fleet is pulling.
 
Add up the tdp's for your various chips and that will give you a rough estimate of your wattage.

That doesn't work if you overclock / undervolt your rig thou :)
 
Going by @twilyth 's post, I'd be at about... 230w on the PSU load.. 230-260 seems like a decent estimate. According to @Norton my PPD is lower than it should be and I'm guessing it's because I don't run it 24/7. I'll get about 24 tasks at a time and let it run and idle when done. That way I can sleep when I get home at 8am. :roll:
 
I'll run some numbers on my rigs and format the accordingly to add to the table. Off the top of my head, the 4770k pulls ~180w-ish while crunching, and I think the i3 2100 pulls ~100w. I threw some of those numbers in @Mussels power thread, but I can retest over the next few days.

I suppose the numbers won't be 100% on any submissions since different wus seem to pull different wattage, but I guess it'll be close.

dude i am in Costa Rica...

Just a hop, skip, and a jump :laugh:

I know I know thanks.
Btw the second Xeon will be added in a few days when it has at least one week running, it uses just 75w:D

Subbing for interest. I've been meaning to do this for a few of my rigs. I wish I had accurate figures for sig rig, but hopefully some dedicated AMD FX machines can report in.

I'll see about getting some results in "soon".
 
I like how everyone like this thread but no one participates :P

I can remove the overclock and unplug all drives and stuff to check the power consumption then but unfortunately I dont have any extra vga laying around

Everyone is too embarrassed now @Knoxx29 has inputted his numbers . :eek:
 
here are my current rigs from boinc stats.

The problem is that I can't be certain of the exact power draw since I haven't checked in a while.

the 32 thread machine seems to average about 15k points and draws about 300 watts. So we're talking 50 points per watt per day. Or I guess that would be 50 pt-days/watt.

I think the Q3QN probably draws about 190 watts and seems to average about 8400ppd so that would be about 44 pt-days/watt.
 
My X58/Xeon L5639, P67/2600k, and X58/i7-970 rigs use no power.... I explained what I was doing with those rigs and got folks that I trust to host them at their businesses. :cool:

Working on getting one of my aunt's to host one now, which I hope to get done before the end of Spring.

@krusha03 - I will see what I can do to get you some good numbers for the 2 rigs I run at home atm.
