On this part of the curve I would expect it may get you 30-40w gain dropping from 4.8 to 4.7 and another 20-30w going to 4.6 depending on your cpu

So you think the extra speed doesnt worth the extra watts at this point? Do you see 4.6Ghz as the best option regarding performance/power consumption?
If you assume that running cost matters then you can approach this in different ways:
1. You run 1 rig balls to the wall with as many optimisations as you can to achieve the best points you can and the power cost is high for a single rig but lower than multi rigs
2. You run more rigs but at a lower clock
3. you run the latest tech which is most efficient
eg. an i7 920 may pull 350w from the wall overclocked, whilst the 2600K may be 220w and the 3770K <200 each of the latter 2 for the same clock. some people extol the virtues of stock volts and as high a clock as possible others run stock speed using as little voltage as possible.
All in all it is really your choice of how you want to run.
@ evantaur....please be gentle as you pass me today or tomorrow!
I say this knowing I'll get you back in just a few more days :p:
This feels good :rolleyes:

Good work Retro77,
Looks like that 7950 is finally producing WUs for you.
Mines not OC'd and will only do 4 WUs at a time with out crashing.
Movieman I am on fast approach. It will be a very short handshake I am afraid. :sonic:
Hey MaxCFM...at least wave when you go by :)
my87csx481: It was seeming to take ages to pass but I waited for a wide piece of road and....... No tire marks :)
I have been eying that 25 spot for a long while now it seems.... who shall I make my next target I wonder??? how about a certain MM??
I won't get there before getting run down by pfm though
Wouldn't it been easier to hack his rigs and let them crunch in your name? :rofl:
Yeah pfm is cruising, I may need to find somewhere to squeeze in another card just to keep him at bay :yepp:
