So who's pulling >WATT< from the wall?

[SOA_RRU]

Just curious to see what everyone else is pulling from the wall?

E6600 (general use) + GTX560SE (folding) = 200watts
X6 1055t stock (folding) + 5870 (sat doing nothing) = 200watts
I5 2500 (stock) + GTX 460 both folding = 270watts
Router + LCD = 30watts

I know im leaving out HD's etc but just a general system description will do

I was thinking of buying a Kill A Watt meter, to see how much the rig is pulling from the wall. I'd hazard a guess at not much.
I have a 3770k @ 4.5GHz folding 24/7 and the fan on the AX850 never spins up.
And my ickle 7850 barely uses anything either, so I think I have quite a frugal machine when it comes to power usage.

I don't want to know right now,
but i will know the end of the year

I will need to buy something to measure the power usage. Will do soon and report back

3930k @ 4.5ghz running f@h =310w
3dmark vantage or 3dmark11
3930k @ 5.0ghz+2x hd7970 @ 1250mhz + 16gb 2133mhz ram = 1100w with peaks at 1.4kw
3770k @ 4.5ghz running f@h =170w
Measured wallsocket powerdraw on total system usage.

Holy...that 7970 system
Why does that take so much power?

Total system powerdraw with the 3930k at 5ghz pulls alone pulls 400w+ when at 100%.
The hd7970 in x-fire are really powerhungry when oc`ed to max.
At stock they only pull like 800w with the 3930k.

Jesus. How much does that cost you in electricity, I wonder.
Also - you're running a 3930k at 5GHz 24/7? That's amazing in itself. Got yourself a golden chip?

Only for benchmarking on HWbot,and my 3930k is very standard,have to use 1.52vcore to get 5ghz bench-stable.
Dont want to ruin a 450£ cpu for nothing,so i run it at stock mostly.
A 4.5ghz @ 1.35v oc is more than capable to run nearly anything with the 3930k.

 

[Josh Weston]

Still not a bad voltage for bench stable. Seriously doubt my 3770K could do the same.
And well, I can't think of anything, realistically speaking that couldn't be run on a stock 3930k, let alone one at 4.5GHz.
