Go to solution Solved by GOTSpectrum,

This event has ended and I recommend you guys head over to the Folding Community Board for any general folding conversation.

I'm curious to see how much everyone power bill goes up compared to no folding at all. 

Last time I did it for a month it was like an extra buck a day to make use of all the cores 100% in my servers vs just leaving them running their normal work load.

Still going strong but need more WUs for those idling GPUs

It's so nice that northern states still have this relatively cold weather and I can just open my windows to cool down the room.. Thanks weather. Please hold it like that at least to mid April. 🙂

Just wait till the summer folding sprint!

Looks like 3 updates in a row have given me zeros.. Uneventful to say the least.

I'm getting points but they have tanked, no idea why as all my systems have been working. Maybe QRB is broken or something. Great timing for this to happen, yay.

Is there any way other than remote desktop (like TeamViewer) to remote control the folding clients on Android? It seems like there would be an app, or a better web interface for this.

 

Edit: I mean to remote control the computers folding from an Android device. That way I don't have to wait around for Teamviewer to connect and suck down my phone  battery.

Either someone turned my computer off or its been failing to get any WUs.

Gonna check the logs when I have access to the PC.

Mines going down and my PPD up as my electrical provider has suspended time-of-day rates due to the pandemic. Means instead of running a cron job to finish folding before the period when the prices Double I can just go all out

When i crunch on Boinc with all my machines, CPU crunching only, it costs me around £120.00 per month in electricity. If i crunch on GPU's as well i can add an additional £150.00 to that. (CPU's crunching include a couple of ryzen's and 10 dual processor Xeon workstations running a mix of socket 1366 and 2011 Zeons. GPU crunching is primarily AMD HD7970/7990 for double precision)

 

Suffice to say i have had to cut back on my crunching.

Not going to lie, I'm a little worried about what my power bill might actually turn into. Can any Albertans/Canadians speak to their estimated cost differences?

pcsolidcom here.  Glad to be a member of the team.  It looks like I'm a member, I see myself w/i the ranks.

 

However, not sure I'm setup w/i the team properly?  Would anyone mind checking/verifying that I'm setup properly by looking at my stats?

 

I began folding at rank 806,555 pverall, and w/ TEAM rank of 52,811, with 9,563 credits and 11 WU's

NOW, a few days later, rank of 108,694 overall, and team rank of 10,638, with 972,955 credits and 271 WU's...

 

Howedver, when I go to what I believe is my 'donor' page for foldingathome: https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/PCSolid.com

Looks like my stat's are frozen and don't update w/ work produced?

 

Any help figuring this out?  Thanks.

I expect around $50 extra this month with my 11 cent per kW

You can do a bit of math yourself and it shouldn't be massively off. If your computer uses ~400W then look at your power bill and get the kwh per unit price then:

 

(0.4 * total hours per day) * kwh price = Cost per day

 

E.g (0.6 * 24) * 0.2902 = $4.18/day

with everything i have going full tilt im about 500-550 CAD over normal.  This folding thing uses slightly less power though so im expecting 400-500 over normal but im running just over 30 GPU's.

According to my Smart-bridge power meter, I'm looking at about a 75% increase in my bill.  Roughly $120 to $200.  TBH, not ideal given my company is starting to do weekly furloughs, but all things considered it's not too bad.  (I'm still planning on buying a TIG welder in April, so yeah....)

R5 3600, 5700 XT, AX370 K7...  and that's plenty for me.  If you ignore the masses of other parts I occasionally put together and laugh about.

If you have a modern GPU, and just ONE gpu, each GPU may use up to from 75-100 watts per hour, plus the computer power used, for stuff like cpu, memory, fans, monitor(s), etc, and the power efficiency loss of it all, could be up in the 300-400 watts per hour range...

So, say .5 kW per hour,

.5 kW / hour x 24 hours in a day = 12 kW/day.

if your elec rate is .$.10/kW, then you'd be using $.10 / kW X 12 kW = $1.20/day, or $36/mo...

I've had rates as low as $/069/kW... Those were the days!

Good luck!

That's doable. I'm not sure how to find out how much power my computer uses in a day though.

Just have a look at a review with similar parts to you, most systems will be around that 350W-450W mark if single GPU etc etc. Then just have a think about how many total hours you're actually folding for.

My wife and I are fortunate enough to have a job that is "required" and can WFH so I am really not that bothered by any increase in the short term.  My hat is off to the guys who do this on the regular.  I just hope our effort is utilized for "the greater good". 

 

Also tip my hats to those of you like @hydrochloric and others that are not as fortunate still contributing to the cause.

 

@n0xlf I am glad to hear you are feeling better, how long did it take you to recover?

Would you doublecheck if I understand this right?

 

Assuming for whatever reason, (0.500kW * 24 hrs) * 0.087 (power bill says 8.72c /kWh) = $1.05 per 24hrs running my comp, at highest worst case scenario?

I've used Kill-a-watt meter, works GREAT.  Shows hwo much computer uses real time, and can also log hwo much it uses over time... Cheap device, but very effective...

Can watch the wattage increase as your GPU's come online and begin working... 300 watts, 400 watts, 1000 watts, etc... Neat device!
