Rig(s) power consumption

I have a 750w PC power & cooling too and it's very efficient imo.
like 82-85% with Euro 230v

EDIT : even better than I thought http://www.anandtech.com/show/2278/11

Good thing PCP&C was bought out and destroyed, who wants great power supplies?

I buy them because I trust them.
In 4 years and 4 machines on them never had one fail me.

last time i checked was for a ~5 year old 500w pcp&c psu, and it's something like 74 or 76%. might want to look into that...

edit: oh didn't see next page, ok that's great that it's so efficient then!

I added something good: Movieman category.

My most efficient machine is in the same class as Dave's X8DA3... can't beat a (stock) Dual Westmere-EP for efficiency I guess.
Dual X5650 Hexacore, PPD of about 75k/d at exactly 300W from the wall. Tyan S7002, 12GB DDR3, onboard VGA, TT Toughpower 650W (~83% efficieny), one HDD, 5 fans.

Just pulled my 1090T from my main rig where it pulled 320w:shocked: for 25,000ppd

Now pulling
180w:D at 3.6ghz with 1.34v for ~23,700ppd:rofl:

Just to show that the power consumption can be lower. This is the rig I posted in the thread I linked to in the 2nd post. It doesn't count for this competition because the rig isn't like that anymore.

I3 540 @ 3780MHz 1.15v. It used 86 watt running WCG.
And that could be lower without OCing.

But now I have it watercooled and changed the CPU to a i7-860.
3.3GHz @ 1.16v it uses 166 watt running WCG.

Only changes, still just one rig running.

Should draw alot less.

What about just running it headless?

If you removed some of the RAM sticks you could reduce the power consumption even more.

Hey all!
Here is what I used to measure wattage....

Current Rigs: (not always running @ the same time)
With that said PPD is as accurate as I could figure....
