My PPD hasn't quite got up to full speed I don't think.
I've got a 3770K at stock at the moment, which was doing most of the work obviously, and an old Q9450 @ 3.2GHz.
I think it's partly because my electricity usage is so low to start with the increase seems huge to me, my monthly bill has doubled with the two machines running, from about £35 to probably around £70 I was heading for this month (peanuts compared to what some people are running I'm sure)
What's frustrating is that it's the Q9450 machine that I could do with leaving on all the time as it's a server. Thing is that system doesn't have integrated graphics which means It's temporarily got my 9800 GTX idling in it which I presume pushes the power usage up even at idle.
I'm considering getting a replacement micro-ATX board with integrated graphics to bring the power requirements down or possibly just a cheap PCI/PCIe graphics card depending on what would give the lowest power consumption. Presumably integrated?
Not much from me recently, mix of it being too warm to leave it on and gaming a lot.
I decided against a second 670, money i would rather spend elsewhere.
did you DSR it , I thought you already ordered it? lol it has been dam warm yes and as for gaming, I never play games but I have been playing 3 hours or so a day of far cry - blood dragon, the graphics from this gpu are amazing!!!! last game I played was Quake III back in the day!
that's why I need another gpu!!! so when I play a game I still have one hammering the points out!
pfft. Unceremoniously stomped into the 11th cell by Stan's big boots without even a parp. You'd think people would with to rub other's noses in it, but nope standards seem to have dropped
