Electricity cost of folding?

[suchamoneypit]

I've folded a few times with my 5820k and 390X, but I dont do it 24/7.

 

My question is how much would it cost in electricity to run my parts 24/7? obviously price of electricity is different all the different places so Im really looking for a KW used per hour. 

 

If it matters, my CPU is heavily overclocked and my GPU is overclocked too (cooling is not a concern).

Full GPU+CPU wattage.

Do you have a firestrike score for your system? I have the same CPU and GPU as you except @ 4.5ghz and slightly lower clocked GPU

Buy a power meter for $15 and you can see exactly how much power your computer uses when folding.

Watt-hours per hour is just Watts

500W = 0.5KW = 0.5KWh/h

You should get a power meter like a Kill-a-Watt and see what kind of wattage your rig pulls under folding load.

As said, get something to measure your power consumption and find out yourself. We can't really answer that for you.....

Look at Glenwing's post above.  Then, once you know the power draw of your rig, just multiply that by the number of hours you run for.  500W running for 12h = 12 * 500 = 6000Wh = 6 kWh

sorry for the delay, had to wait until I was home. Thats a run with a slightly lower GPU core clock of 1150 instead of 1180 and at 4.6ghz instead of 4.7ghz, which I use for daily use.
