Rig(s) power consumption

One simple question:
What is your rig(s) power consumption ?

And let`s make this even more interesting. A little competition. Sorry, no prize.
Rules are here:
-WCG running and GPU at idle.
-Max power consumption in watts (W)
-Only computer

One rig:
:peace:: erikmorgan Intel Core Duo T2050 (laptop) @ 1.6 ATI Mobility Radeon™ X1300 49.3w 2068 PPD
:explode2:: sRHunt3r SR-2 Two Xeon 5680's @ 4.3 @ 1.3875 ATI 5770 stock 650w
2 or more rigs: (All rigs combined)
:peace:: erikmorgan combined 478.9
:explode2:: sRHunt3r combined 1700W
Movieman category:
X5670 on a SM X8DA3 @3070MHz( on turbo) 330watt 100% load, Daily production of 81-82,000WCG PPD, So 330w for 81,000+ PPD..Match those numbers? :D

I think you get point of those pictures.
If not, here explanations: :peace:= lowest consumption and :explode2:= is the opposite of :peace:.

And myself: Max power consumtion is 147W, one rig :sofa: only. And I`m not participating for obvious reasons. You got more efficient rigs than mine.

Moderators: If there are thread like this, feel free to remove.

There is some thing like that here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=254308
I was just looking for that thread. :)

I know that but it`s not exactly like this. It compares PPD/W not total power consumption. This could be only computers power consumtion not PPD/W.

is this a competition for the lowest power consumption or the highest? i think this greatly limits people able to participate. most WCG members on here do not also crunch/fold with GPU's, but i think everyone with a folding/crunching GPU also does WCG. i forgot exact numbers, but here is my highest and lowest rigs, only listing main hardware that will affect power consumption:

i7-930 @ 3.6ghz @ 1.13v
gtx295 @ 600/1600/1200 @ stock volts
450w

i7-920 @ 4ghz @ 1.20v
gtx260 @ stock speed @ stock volts
330w

i3-530 @ 4ghz @ 1.21v
gt240 @ 600/1460/1700 @ stock volts
140w

WhiteFireDragon, it`s both :hehe:. And I can change rules so it fits better in WCG.
Rules changed: Only WCG need to be running and GPU idle.

how about a quad amd quad core, 400W ouchie.

Not too bad when you consider it does more PPD than 4 Sossmans.

i just measured one more rig, so i guess you can add that to my total:

i7-860 @ 3.5ghz @ 1.20v
2x gt240 all stock speed and voltage
245w

i have a couple other ones crunching that i haven't measured yet.

Just one to open peoples eyes to what's possible:
X5670 on a SM X8DA3 @3070MHz( on turbo)
6x1 gig DDR3-1333 ECC
Old Leadtek 7800GTX( this has got to go!:rofl: )
single 320 gig Seagate Sata drive
PCP+C 750w(red)
4x80mm case fans
330watt 100% load
Daily production of 81-82,000WCG PPD
So 330w for 81,000+ PPD..Match those numbers?:D

I don't think it can be matched but I'm also betting that someone will do so.:rofl:
That machine is also #5 in daily output projectwide based on the last weeks results on Boinc's stats page

Wow, that's an amazing ratio MM GJ :clap:

trash that 7800GTX , put in a HD5450 or an old pci VGA card.
at least 20w saved :D

Yup, agreed,I do have a ATI X550 card to toss in there.
Should draw alot less.

i bet that pcp&c psu isn't very efficient either!

Honestly,I don't know but I thought they were "80+"
I buy them because I trust them.
In 4 years and 4 machines on them never had one fail me.

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?

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!

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.

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....
