Do you run this 24/7?
What is your cost of electricity per kilowatt hour and what is the cost of this setup per month?
- michaelt 2y agoI have a much smaller setup than the author - a quarter the GPUs and RAM - and I was surprised to find it draws 300W at idle
- nullindividual 2y agoThe reason I asked is I used to run a dual X5650 server with SSDs and it was about $50/month with the cheapest (or very close to) rates in the US.
- disiplus 2y agoWe have more expensive gas then usa, but i pay like a 5 cent per kwh @220V Did not know how expensive it is in usa, especially California.
- fuzzybear3965 2y agoYep. ~$.33/kWh in Southern California (SoCal Edison) and going up all the time!
- fragmede 2y ago$0.51/KwH during peek hours in San Francisco!
- nullindividual 2y agoI pay 10 cents per KWH. Most of the electricity in my state is produced by hydropower.
- rootusrootus 2y agoUS generally has some of the cheapest electricity, about half of what Europeans pay. California has some areas that are abnormally expensive.
- nirav72 2y agoDepends on where you live in the U.S. On the west coast, you’ll definitely pay 2x the national average. I live in the south-eastern part of the U.S and electricity is quite a bit cheaper at 12 cents/kwh. But even here it varies by region in my state of Georgia. Down the road where I have friends and family , they get power from a different provider. Their cost are much higher. But they also have flexible pricing. Such as at night they pay a fraction of their day time rates. From 17 cents to 3 cents. While I have a fixed rate 24/7. Which is cheaper than their day time rates.
- trollbridge 2y agoThis is a setup that might make more sense to run at full power during winter months.
