I've been toying with the idea of upgrading one of my 617X 4Ps to 6180s, but I think the performance increase to cost ratio may not be favorable. For you 6180 people, what's the power draw, at the wall, for a moderately overclocked 4P 6180? Also, let me know what fans you have running so I can make a better estimate.
I've been holding my upgrade fund in reserve, waiting for the 'next big thing,' but as we all know, we can't predict that. In the Folding arena, AMD Magny Cours 4Ps have remained highly competitive already longer than I had anticipated.
When I wrote 'cost ratio,' I was also taking into consideration the monthly power consumption and possible need to purchase a new PSU.
Oops. Mods, this thread should be in Distributed Computing. Sorry about that.
