As Australia has just come out of summer, and the Europeans and Americans will start to heat up soon I wanted to give you guys a look at the stats of mining Darkcoin which uses the x11 algorithm!
I can say that compared to the previous summer, having x11 was a dream, no more loud fans, no more overheating rigs, no more crashing and having to monitor my rigs so much.
I have 4x Gigabyte 280x video cards in each rig and are currently slightly undervolted. I have compared it against the standard scrypt algorithm and had the same machine mining until it hit a stable max temperature. The tests were done about 15 min apart from each other.
==========================Darkcoin (x11)==========================
==========================SCRYPT==========================
As you can see the results from mining x11:
Temps are around 20 degrees cooler
The kilowatt measurement shows a 50% reduction in electricity usage
Having one of the most innovative dev team's (first anonymity coin) and great communities I must applaud the Darkcoin team for developing such a great algorithm which will surely become more widely adopted in future.
