Does anyone happen to know what the wattage usage is of the S3 at each frequency?  I'd like to put together a web form that takes the current Bitcoin price and the price you pay for electricity and then figures out what frequency would be best in terms of efficiency.  I could hook the units up to a watt meter and figure this out myself, but was curious if anyone had already done it and can save me the trouble?  (Or if there is a defined ratio, I could use that as well I guess.)

I'll make the site public and then potentially add other miners to it if they offer the same ability to change wattage/frequency and I have access to the numbers.   Maybe I'll call it Intelihash.   Haha...



My results on a corsair HX750 Psu (gold rated)

218 = ~350W
225 = ~363 W
237.5 = ~388 W
250 = ~410 W

I run 4 off of each LEPA 1600W power supplies. My meter shows ~1345 for each of my quad setups. I'm running at stock clocks so that comes out to about 336w per S3.
