QUOTE(saturn85 @ Mar 23 2020, 04:19 PM) Probably need more cooling in long run. Thanks for breaking it down. I'll look at the power rating for my GPU and calculate it from there.:thumbsup: The response worldwide is overwhelming, frequently ran out of work unit. About the passkey, is your old client files still around? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Can roughly estimated from the hardware that run folding. Let's take a GTX 1060 rated at 120W for example. When you fire up GPU folding on it at full load, additional 120W is drew from PSU. (Assumed it really draw 120W power at full load. In real scenario, power draw can be different.) And let's assumed your PSU is rated at 80% efficiency, when it supply the additional 120W into the PC component, additional 150W is drew from the wall electric socket. Let's assumed you run folding 6 hours everyday, a total of 180 hours in one month. 150W x 180 hours = 27kWh, so additional 27kWh of electricity on folding. Let's assumed the 27kWh hit the [201-300kWh] range which cost 33.40 sen/kWh, 27 x RM0.334 = RM9.10. RM9.10, so this figure is the rough estimation that impact your electricity bill. |
