I have a ASUS Rampage 3 Extreme. Ive got it nicely stable with a i7 950 at 4.3Ghz. Ive also got a EVGA GTX580 FTW. Im using a Cosair AX1200 power supply.
At 100% CPU and 100% Graphics card it draws 588 Watts. At idle its 229 Watts. That works out to 63.7 cents a day on my power plan and so $19.11 per month if I leave it on 24/7 at idle..
With this MB I can store and recall BIOS profiles apparently. Not sure how easy it is during boot to select profiles tho..
So I was thinking I could make a really seriously low power under clock..
Anyone with experience doing this ? This is a weird thought for me. Just how low can I go in all the settings ? Where do I get the best power savings ? Can I clock a i7 950 at 1Ghz ? Whats the best voltages for my super underclock ?
Hahaha.. Fun thought. Super underclocking ! How slow can you go ? hahaha
Can you reach 1hz ? heheheh...
