The bill here is about between €100 to €130 depending what been used

One of the big-ticket items with power consumption is old freezers. My old freezer was rated at almost 1000 kWh per year and so that's like US$200 in annual electricity bills. Only a couple of years from now and the new freezer that uses 250 kWh will have paid for itself.

Yeah that why i change everything to energy efficient / class a products in order to bring the bill down

Hey @phill i got the plug it arrived this morning and tested it i was getting about between 144.3 to 146.7 watt in idle and peaked at 265.6 watt in cinebench r15 so i have to find a way to mount it on my desk so i can monitor it during runs

 

[phill]

Awesome stuff!! Real glad it turned up!! I hope it was well packaged!

The tape covering the box was tough like rubber to cut

He guys,

I was looking to overclock my msi eclipse x58, but when i entered the bios the qpi voltage was listed as a offset. That would normally not be a problem yet there is no way to monitor it in bios i just get a offset without a readout of a base value... Anyway i could read this voltage out in windows?

Tamper proof!! Glad it got there!!

What is it you need help with @Techninja ?

 

[Edwired]

You can try either hwinfo64 or aida64 to get some sort of reading in windows as aida64 have a better chance of seeing the values in the bios.

@phill Had to get a hacksaw to cut through the tape lol

I wasn't sure what Technija was asking and I've had a pretty dumb day so, best be checking to be sure!

Well at least it stayed on there Great stuff

Oh crap, I almost forgot that I'm back in the big boys club...
Been rocking a E5-2660 since summer, unfortunately no overclocking(HP Z620 platform)...
Also got some new trinkets for the office: a couple of Supermicro X9SCM-F's w/ E3-1240, and a spare B75 mini-ITX board which will soon be paired with E3-1230v2.
Will post some pics soon.

This is what my SR-2 with dual OC Xeons supposedly pulled during benches. I find it highly unlikely but its what my watt-meter tells. There was my RTX 2080 Super in there too and a ton of fans plus dual D5 pumps.

That seems crazy, but close to probable. My higest semi-stable bench of x5650 at 4.7GHz did pull around 300W on its own at ~1.47V vCore (>400W for a whole system w/ stock GTX750Ti).
At 5.07GHz "glory-screnshot" run my UPS started screaming in pain (>110% load for 800VA unit).

My X5650 arrived today. Previous owner said the chip reached 4.2/1.38 but run at 4ghz daily. X58 Sabertooth arriving in a few more days :) My first decent cruncher is nearly complete !

Tried that not really seen any logical value aida got nothing but hwinfo had 2 values though seemed not to change when upping ofset in bios. https://hardforum.com/threads/msi-eclipse-x58-sneak-peek-h.1354363/page-3#post-1033307768 multiple post can be found online though no solution as far as I see. Really strange tbh you somehow are never sure what the qpi voltage is on this board. somehow can't even get 3.2 ghz stable on a x5670 so something is wrong...

Seems to me that this link https://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/msi_x58_eclipse/4.html shows the bios have qpi voltage as it in cell menu if that the correct board you have. To be trustful rather set the voltage static not auto as you wont know how much the board is overvolting even at default setting. Have you tried updating the bios to the latest one

It seems like that but if you try and alter the voltage it will change into a offset. you can see it written in multiple review and forums like here: https://bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/motherboards/msi-eclipse-sli/15/
Just really strange.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Looks like I don't need to try this out then. I find it interesting that X58 is still holding it's own even though it's showing it's age.

Well it choke 3090 at 1080p of course but who needs 200+fps anyway but yeah in 4k it's almost no difference and I will dare to said that even some much weaker CPU's can handle that card at 4k just as good....

Maybe the board have it own quirks. If only the board have voltage read points it might be worth checking with a dmm (digital multi meter) but can be time comsuming

Only issue about that video he missing the vrm heatsinks

At 5.07GHz "glory-screnshot" run my UPS started screaming in pain (>110% load for 800VA unit).

Looking back at it I think its about right.

My single X5650 did pull a lot too (but that voltage was only short term of course )

417W from the wall during cinebench with a single CPU. If I add that up to my SR-2, atleast 800W for the dual CPUs + the power for pumps and fans + the 250W or more for the GPU...

Your 5GHz voltage is insanely low for an X5650. Really nice chip and board. I tortured mine a bit further:

It was a "golden" chip for sub-4.5GHz overclock. My daily was either 4.2G@1.3V or 3.7G undervolted[!] (it was ice-cold even during summer with these settings, never saw more than 80W package).
This rig was my daily driver, and I only had a mediocre 500W PSU plus a decent air cooling at the time (Thermalright Ultra 120), which is why I haven't really pushed it harder than that. With chilled H2O or dice - maybe, but I'm not sure cause it was still within reasonable temps with that OC. Probably hit the limit of my PSU or the 8-phase VRM on RII Gene. Should've kept my "back from the dead" Gigabyte X58A-UD3R.

So was looking to see if there was something that would come near my 5930k in single core speed but have more cores. The 1660 v3 looks like the only option if I could find a reasonably priced one. Am I overlooking anything?
Probably time to build a new system I guess...I'd like to run modern games at 4k with a 3080 or AMD graphics card. Do some video editing too. Now that fiber is coming here I'll be able join the modern world.
The 5930k has been really good but hmm getting old maybe?

To replace a 5830k a 1680v4(8core 3.4ghz) would be a better selection as you would get better IPC and a base clock similar to the 5830k(6core 3.5ghz). The question is value. You'd actually be better off getting a used Ryzen 1800X for the money you'd spend on the 1680v4 or or even a 1660v3. You could even just stay with what you have and overclock it considering it's a "k" model.

If I build new system I'd probably go with one of the new AMD...I like to build to last awhile...this would probably be my last build before I leave the planet... might as well have fun.
Could use the x99 as a file server and back up computer...I keep forgetting how long ago I built that x99 where did time go?
Might be fun to see if I could push close to 4.3 though.

Yeah, if you're going to build your last PC, make it a banger!

I finally had time to swap the E5 2683 V3 with the 2683 V4. The two extra cores and faster RAM speed of the V4 are a nice bonus. There's still a lot of work to go before I start benchmarking it.

 

[Edwired]

Highest power draw peaked 280.2 watt during resident evil 3 remake as I was pushing the gpu with 120% image quality causing the gpu power throttled but 80% is the sweet spot for the Asus gtx 1050ti oc expendition maybe it to do with power efficiency of the antec hcg850m as it bronze rating reducing the wattage usage. It still havent broken the 300 watt wall with the current overclock at the moment. I have to conduct testings some day find out is it vcore provide more power from the wall or the clockspeed that pulls the power from the wall
