camaro_dude15 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 dad found the source of the high power bill, he decided if that much heat is coming out, then its takin lots of juice, i had the gtx 275s, 8800gt, and a 5750 (i think) running full bore, with a 965t and a core duo workin on some units. when i shut them all down for a few weeks he noticed a big drop on the bill, im thinkin extension cord from the niegbors house?

Hyper Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Yea, the warm weather is killing me, I almost had to shut down more systems, I walked into the back room (where all but one of my folding systems are) and it was easly over 100F in there and a couple of the systems where running a bit hotther then I liked ( the i7-920 w/ 2x GTX285 was at 92C, the i7-2600k was about 85C, the i7-980x was only running around 58C.. aparently I havent oc'ed that one enough Fortunately the weather turned (started raining a little bit) and cooled off and I was able to cool the room off a bit.

Lackadaisical Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I feel your pain, I live in the wrong environment to be folding during the summer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivangela Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 My last power bill was $67. I fold with what's in my sig 24/7..P2 940, OC'd a bit, I7 3770K, and that crappy 9500GT. I've never hooked up my Kill-A-Watt to see for sure, but with an all electric house and four women (lots of showers, hot water, laundry, etc) they can't use THAT much power...

Hyper Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I need to get rid of some of my "old" systems lol, looks like I might be getting a free i7-3770k from work and have been itching to build a compact watercooled itx-mini system in a custom built case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
