The new Odroid-N2 looks promising: 6 cores drawing less than 6 watts, can be configured for both Linux and Android. Indeed. When SCC restarted it generated 15700 points per day (51 wu). Then I configured it to crunch only MCM. Daily average: 12600 points for 19 wu. I've measured electricity consumption and is below 6 watts. Also, it has passive cooling so no need to worry about a fan.  |

For the phones also 30-45 euros, but they were second hand Power draw was a bout 3W for each octa, battery being removed :) |

Also, it has passive cooling so no need to worry about a fan. Yeah I like the Odroid-N2 a lot. Build myself a small cluster of 5 units for WCG. I put it on 40mm spacers for better cooling and attached it vertical to a wall behind a TV, so you do not see it. It doesnt even reach 45°C now (100% CPU on all cores, 22°C in room). No fan needed, it is completely quiet. It is crunching since 4 weeks now w/o any problems and good performance. 30 cores at 30watt, so that's 1watt/core. I can really recommend that system, if you are looking for silent and efficient crunching. A few impressions (I am not proud of the wiring, but that is the best I can do  )   |
