I’m running an Amd 8350 8 core cpu. And an Amd 580 GPU. Hmmm where do I adjust cpu core usage? I see use most of cpu percentage setting. And the where do I check processingspeec
Please stop hijacking this thread - it's about the cost of electricity and nothing to do with how you may adjust preferences for your computer.
Please go to one of the 'Help' forums and ask a proper question and make sure you fully explain what you want to achieve. If you can do that, someone will be able to give advice on the best way to achieve what you want (if it's possible). The key is to properly explain what you are trying to do.
What you have written above certainly doesn't do that.
The end of this week should see the completion of all WUs on two large towers with a noticeable fall/drop in RAC. The daily outside temps are soaring and my electric bill won't be far behind. In the meantime I will look forward to the cooler fall/winter weather where my large towers can perform double duty: crunchers and space heaters. All the best to those who support this great effort!! - robl

We must be in the same time zones, I'm in North Carolina USA, as it's start to get warmer here too! It means my electric bill will go up quite a bit as I can't leave the door open to my computer room anymore and let the outside air cool it off.

You are correct. Same time zone just south of Daytona beach. 4.12 inches of rain today with more rain tomorrow. Hoping the launch gets off.

That's alot of rain in one day, at least to me!! I had some rain yesterday afternoon with more sporadic showers throughout the weekend, most of them coming up the Coast from your area, but nothing approaching 4 inches!! I could handle 4 inches as I'm 30 feet above seal level at 1.5 miles from the beach, but I hope we don't get that much, not all at once anyway!!

My lot is 6.5 feet above sea level and about 2.5 miles from the beach. Flood insurance is not an option.

My home insurance required it but we were going to get it anyway, but since we are sooo high, relatively speaking, it's very cheap.
To reduce electricity cost, I always undervolt/underclock my GPU cards. Most card manufacturers "optimize"' their default/stock setting with gaming performance in mind. You see lots of gaming benchmark been published. For BOINC projects, for me at least, I do concern about PPD (points per day) per watt as a measure of power efficiency. Granted that output will be lower but not much. If I cut my GPU PPD output by 10%, I do cut my power consumption way more than 10% and that reduces electricity cost especially when you run the project 24/7/365. Less heat generated and less need for AC turning on all the time. I did some study on GPU crunching efficiency a while ago. Just google "GPU crunching efficiency" and it will lead you to the study that I've done.
BTW, I live in California where the electricity cost is one of the highest in US and expected to go up in the future, so power efficiency matters to me a lot. I know this is very situational as it depends on individual. Just my one cent.
