Well, it would be more fun if you were calling me out.
J/K. I was moderator in this section "back in the day". It's a very important project. I'm going to run 24/7 for this billing cycle and see how these new chips impact the electric bill and decide on 24/7 or half days. Either way, I'll do as much as I can and look forward to challenges!
Calling you out for what?!?!?! It's not an age thing......
The new CPUs aren't too bad, I run my 3900X for 247 at the moment, about 100w extra from idle to load, nothing bad at all. Think about 220w or something? The 1700X's are about 170w I think, the 2700 I have is about 120w (all full system load wattages) so hopefully that helps
Have all sorts of hardware I try and run this on but with running a few GPUs 24/7 as well, the electric soon amounts up... Over here it's about 28 cent's a KW... Thank god for solar but that's only good when the weather is nice and sunny but that said, some days that are dull ish, still produce well
It's very easy to use up 3kw an hour crunching
