Measure CPU Watts with a Multimeter
I’m really into measuring things.
Here is a video of me measuring power consumption of an Ivy Bridge Core-i5 and a Xeon 1245 V2 (roughly equivalent to Core-i7 3770)
Ever wished yourself a power bank for your (non USB-C) laptop? I did lately, though I can’t complain with the 7200 MAh battery of my Fujitsu Lifebook s792. First I looked up some power bank cases like this, as well as some DIY charge balancing boards. These look like a pretty nice option for use…
Another go at baking a broken GPU. This time it seems that I finally overdid it And it looks like it… Yummy smelly soldering flux, anyone? Model: Radeon HD 4870 / Sapphire HD4870 512MB (the red one) Price: 5,99 EUR incl. shipping (ebay.de) Symptom: Artifacts, hardware not properly detected Ye Olde Artefacts. Cool mouse cursor…
Note: I really don’t like pointing fingers at people about how they did something wrong. This was however too perfect a textbook case to pass by 🙂 Radeon R9 270 with a thermal pad. Priceless. So, a few days ago I got a used Radeon R9 270 from Ebay . The card was sold as…
Lately noticed my laptop fan laboring steadily when Chromium is open. Did some comparison, it seems that the start page (with Google on it) consumes about 4 threads each 35% CPU time…Pretty much the same as if watching a 720p YouTube video. Observed a very similar problem with Opera (again based on Chromium for what…
Financial intermediary logic, courtesy of Nicehash: What you get is a % of % of what you give. But you don’t really get it, because now it is only % of the minimum %. Profit. So I recently mined a few days with Nicehash, mainly to test some water cooling setups. Using just two Radeon…
Being the PC cooling freak that I am, I totally had to play with this. Namely – cooling a set of crypto-mining GPUs. The plan: shape a system of copper pipes into a single heat sink unit, providing 1x water input, 1x water output and multiple GPU interface surfaces.The result was the following module that can…
Interesting! Im looking into buying multimeters. I preferred to get in touch with Fluke Philippines sellers.
Thanks for sharing a nice post with us here. Your post is useful to me for electrical tagging. I am looking exactly this. To be continue.
