The biggest power consumer is things like Geysers, kettles, stoves and so on. A desktop running at 100% uses like 200W whereas a geyser uses like 2kw.

- ClassyJacket 10y agoMy high end gaming PC would push over 500W when mining Bitcoin (actually Lite coin) back in the day. Side note: Swype keyboard will not allow me to write Litecoin as one word with a bracket after it, no matter how much I correct it.
- infogulch 10y agoWhen autocorrect refuses to cooperate I find that spacing things out between normal words then deleting the spacers usually works. Correction usually only occurs after typing punctuation, not for deletion. Litecoin and [] Litecoin []
- ClassyJacket 10y agoYeah, that seems to be the only way to do it. (Litecoin)... Strange, it's changed its policy now.
- patrickk 10y agoI mined Ethereum last summer on a 6 GPU, dual-PSU rig. Each GPU consumed roughly 220W-250W IIRC, so the heat and noise was considerable.
- astrodust 10y agoThat's one panel worth of power, theoretically.
- ClassyJacket 10y agoThe heat from that would be horrendous. A typical space heater consumes about the same as that. Even at just 500W my machine would heat the room considerably over a few hours.
- dm3730 10y ago> Geysers For those wondering, that term means hot water heater.
- Someone 10y ago2kW when the faucet is running, about zero when it isn't. With a duty cycle of 1% (= running hot water for 15 minutes a day), that desktop could beat your geyser, even when running at 10% throughout the day.
