That do not sound so bad. What do you think of the system?

correction: X79-8D

I ended up With a Huananzhi X79-8D Mainbaord with two Xeon 2650v2, and 96 GB of RAM (6 x 16 GB DDR3 sticks).

When running idle, with only a old GPU and a small SSD, the machine consumes 80-85 watt. At full load this increases to 200-250 watt.

I just wanted to reply to my own question 🙂

I’m in the process of moving to a substantially larger office. I may get one once that is done around the end of the month. It’s been delayed as the air conditioning isn’t working.

get one from taobao?

Okay, well thank for trying anyways. I will place an order of my own, and do some measurements. Probably on a dual socket Huananzhi with a pair of 2650v2’s.

Neither are available. It’s a commercial area and I’ve never seen a meter, I just get the group rate. I just know I pay a fraction of what you guys in Europe pay so I’ve never even worried about it.

I am afraid I do not know.
I would either use the danish equivalent of a “kill-a-watt” or look at my houses central power readout with the PC/Server on and off, and get the difference. But I have no idea if either of these options are available to you?

I don’t have a loop meter. What’s a easier way to measure?

Could you supply som actual power consumption rates for the upgraded X79 mcahing – both at rest, and working?
