47kOhm Vmod3 - wall side results

1200 Mhz # 510 kH # 22.5 W
1100 Mhz # 467 kH # 21.5 W
1000 Mhz # 425 kH # 20.3 W
950 MHz # 404 kH # 19.6 W
850 Mhz # 360 kH # 18.4 W
600 Mhz # 250 kH # 16 W
Idle # 0 kH # 12.5 W


stock:
1200 - 13
1100 - 12.5
1000 - 11.9
950 - 11.5
850 - 10.9
600 - 9.5
Idle - 7.4

so no, the high power usage stays even with low clocks

I am currently running 22 voltmodded of a Windows 7 AMD E350 system. The PSU is a 750W Corsaid Gold efficiency. At the wall I get 435W usage. I measured the windows system and it pulls 30W. So that makes it 405W at the wall for:
- 22 GS units runing at 1175Mhz+
- 3 powered USB hubs
- 22 low power 80mm fans (I replaced the stock fans with quiet ones... they draw about 0.75W a piece).
- 3 low power 140mm fans (about 1.25W a piece)
- 2 low power 120mm fans (around 1W a piece)

If we discount the Fans, it averages to about 17.5W pe GS unit, all running at 1175Mhz+.
