Quoting a post of April 2012by self
----------------------------------------http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-17785464 It's on the planning board to replace the Q6600 desktop, whenever they arrive to our outback shops... giving it 12 months, as that is our approximate lapse time for new technology to arrive. --//-- Well, it took 20 months instead and skipped a generation... I7-4770 running FAHV on 8 threads at 3.7 Ghz [0.3 faster than stock], on W8-64 and it's chewing through faster than my quad on Linux-64. The I7 does 84W-TDP, 110 Watts at the wall-socket whilst the Q6600 sucks 160W/h [when all is off except BOINC]... 50W/h less or 438Kwh annual reduction for at least double the work... Wait until that persistent Ubuntu Live install disc is inserted in the DVD... triple the FAHV work in anticipation. Given the e-price here, and not getting better, about European record high, a self-funding upgrade. This box hopefully lasts as long as old faithful Q6600... in the next few days in semi permanent stasis... kept as backup, and Beta tests ;P Oh, and it's got an ATI Radeon with 2GB RAM in it so who knows when MCM gets expanded to use the GPGPU too  edit: Coretemp agrees with other indicators the machine is running steady at 3.7Ghz, but instead of the CPU-Z indicated 84W-TDP, the read out is 67.2W/h...b and that I like. Think the coolers need some work... 56C mean after 4 hours non-stop. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Dec 10, 2013 8:16:41 PM] |

Nice!
----------------------------------------I went with 2 I7-3770K, and over the I7-920 and 930 I've saved a ton in power. I've been waiting for some 8 or 10 core that won't put me on food stamps. I miss my Q6600 though, twas my first quad core. How cool was it to have FOUR instances of WCG running at once!  |

It's 22nm dye Haswell per CPU-Z. After stabilizing and setting a few more 'go to sleep' things, 107W/hour. The CoreTemp read-out on processor TDP went a little up to 68.4W/h, but if wallsocket total can be dropped further, not concerned. Installed SpeedFan to preset a minimum cooler fan RPM... rather than the yo yo speeds, now running below annoyance level... a steady low noise hum. Will know in a few days how much steady production delivers. First 24 hours 168 results... with lots of booting and MCM in mix to test the ground.
