Power Consumtion (just got a new toy, a Kill-a-Watt)

[plonk420]

...and here's my findings:

new table (WIP): (w = World Community Grid)

R@H = rosetta@home
µ = microATX motherboard

*the lowest i could go with prime95. 1.10v was stable with worldcommunitygrid but not prime. also i couldn't test "energy saver" mode due to some setting i'd set in bios and didn't feel like hunting down. who idles an i7 in powersaver, anyways?

the CPU stresser was prime95; the idle cpu+gpu load was distributed.net -bench, the CPU+GPU stresser was prime95+furmark

i used furmark only for CPU+GPU stresser as it seemed to max out a core. are there any GPU-only stressers? maybe a demoscene demo?

anyone else have a kill-a-watt?

anywho, more to come...

edit: more here:

• x4 9550, m2a-vm, 1x1gb ddr2-800, onboard, 1 cf-to-ide running 8gb cf drive, 1x80mm fan, antec basiq 550plus, nic, as onboard is being flaky...also running linux

default, onboard, 78 watts idle, ?? p95 (bonus: 124 on rosetta@home* (sorta))

• x4 9550, m2a-vm, 1x1gb ddr2-800, onboard, 1 cf-to-ide running 8gb cf drive, 1x80mm fan, nic, thermaltake TR2-430

default, onboard, 86 watts idle, ?? p95 (bonus: 135 on rosetta@home* (sorta))

*i could only get 3 instances of r@h in memory. the other i used a WCG unit, but the power usage didn't change

• x4 630, m4a785-m, 1x1gb ddr2-800, onboard, 1 cf-to-ide running 8gb cf drive, 1x120mm fan, pc power and cooling 420 watt

note: my kill-a-watt sits at 3 watts, even with nothing hooked up to it
