I pay $0.09/kwh. I use about 1050watts with my quad 7970 watercooled rig. I noticed the watt usage drops to 1KWh when I dust out the fans, keeping the system cooler and more power efficient. I just have to get some more air dusters soon XD.

are you tiered? if you use more will they raise your rate per hr

Looks like prices are pretty standardized, save for a few outliers.

Nice thread. I use my 4x5850 + 1x 6870 oc for heating in winter also.

atm. in Scandinavia my power cost is 1.3x0.14=0.182 USD and powerdraw 790W

Power cost per 24h: 3.41 USD
Revenue per day: 6.13 USD
      ... less power costs: 2.72 USD
System efficiency: 2.09 MH/s/W

So not a moneymachine  Grin. I wish I had rented an cheap apartment last summer (power costs included) and put "few" more rigs in it Wink

Still can't complain because I saved last winter some firewood also and downstairs air was not moist at all.

I'm running 840 watts, 3 GPU's.
Shocked
I'm also running at around 840W, but with 5GPUs (+CPUs/RAM/Mobos/USBsticks),
may i ask what kind of GPUs those are?

And for the record:
the one at >$0.24 - that's me, i'm at ~$0.3/kWh,
i wish we had prices like you US-guys around here.


whereare you at?

3x5970


3x5970 != 3GPUs
it's 3 Cards, but 6GPUs.  Wink

And it's Germany.

Paying $0.08kw .What makes it even sweeter is that my roomie works for the Army Corp of Engineers at the dam. So he gets a discount on our power bill.  Grin

My power is advertised at 8-9c/kwh, but once BGE adds all it's delivery fees and other bullshit it's more like 13.5c/kwh.  Here's an example bill:

$.09 per kWh here
3x 7950 rig
3x 5850 rig
1x 7970 rig

I'm not sure how much electricity I'm pulling in this room but I know it's got to be over 1000 watts by quite a bit. Hot as hell in here and my electricity bill has been high as hell. Thank god ASICs are almost here. Pretty much only 2 more months till I start seeing a huge decrease in utility costs.
