Hi All, this is not new information probably. I recently measured the wattage my 300MHz R5k and 400MHz R12k Octane use when running typical uses. The Kill-a-watt device is accurate enough for me, I wanted to see what my SGIs use vs. my Cylinder Mac Pro, and my sons Gaming rig with big RTX card.
O2 (SCSI2SD, 128MB RAM): ~64 Watts when compiling
Octane (SCSI2SD, SI graphics, 2GB RAM: ~210 Watts when compiling
2013 12-core D700 Mac Pro, 48GB RAM: ~140 Watts (up to 230 when Minecraft with settings cranked)
Hexacore 3.5GHz i7, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060ti: 120 Watts (up to 280 when Minecraft...)
The difference in SGIs is not surprising I suppose, the Cherokee supply weighs as much as the O2.
Well this is about as far from scientific as can be, but I live in an old house with old power, and the wrong combo of machines on at the same time causes the breaker to trip. I have all machines in UPS, but its a pain to go outside and reset. So I have the machines on different circuits now and all is good.
I'd be curious what other machines use, if you feel like posting.
Cheers All.
