2100 kWh/month, with the UPS reading about a 2900 W draw. Cost is $0.09/kWh. Located in Middle Tennessee.

[–] cdnsniper827@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

About 2200kWh/year for $165 CAD ($122 USD).

  • R730XD with 12 hard drives and 2 SAS SSDs running unRAID
  • 3 node Proxmox cluster built with HP prodesks (i3-7100t, i5-7500t and i5-8500)
  • pfSense firewall running on a minipc with an N5105
  • Unifi US8-60W powering 3 APs and an ip camera

I don't want to play this game...

[–] termlimit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

May I ask how you are able to calculate this? Thank you!

[–] Xevailo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

According to my calibrated Tasmota plug, mine is guzzling about 160 Watt every hour, with energy costs sitting at (iirc) 0,38€/kWh. I really gotta take the time and track down who the worst offenders are some day....

[–] lxwcxuntry@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Everything running I’m sitting at 392w

[–] leftlanecop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Son, if you’re looking at power costs you’re in the wrong sub.

[–] Behrooz0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

~4 Amps @220V last reading on the stabilizer.
Costs around 15~20 USD/month.

What software is this? Thanks!

Do you have any base fees in your bill?

[–] Hatrez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

50W - $3 a month

~$0.08 per kW

That’s damn cheap. I am sitting at ~15W for 0.33€ per kW

[–] incredulousgeek@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ok.. this may be a dumb question, but what software is OP running to create those graphs?

[–] Ke5han@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Approx 190W 24/7 and that's CAD $14 per month.

[–] No_Dragonfruit_5882@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

About 3000W ~ 400 Euros a Month in Germany.

~0.2€/KwH Day

~0.15€KwH Night

257kWh this month, or about $30 of electricity where I live.

This includes my entire server rack so not just specifically my server costs.

[–] pdt9876@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mine is about 600w and is mostly powered by solar but if it weren’t would cost me $13 at USD0.03/kwh

[–] ModerateBiscuit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

130w average usage for me. Works out at roughly £28/month (damn UK energy prices).

That 130w includes the server, switches and waps.

[–] Kitchen_Part_882@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Getting my info from HWMonitor as I can't find a better option without buying a hardware solution.

CPU: around 15W DRAM: around 10W GPU: around 60W if I'm reading that bit right...

Total (and adding a bit for other components and PSU efficiency losses): around 115W

Over a (30 day) month that would be 82.8kWh or £26 a month (actually a bit less than this as I'm on an economy 7 tariff which halves the costs per kWh overnight, I went with worst case as the server uses more energy during the weekend days).

Would be interesting to boot up the old server and check use there, willing to bet a dual Xeon X5670 machine with spinning rust for storage would be far higher than the current Xeon E5 2690 v4 with M.2s in there (a quick Google search indicates 174W for a machine with less hardware than my old server, at idle)

[–] mapnet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

About 250w. Cost of power on average 5 cents (€) per kWh. Often much lower than that. Last week it was negative. Don’t really care about the cost of electricity. 🇫🇮

[–] Jclj2005@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ha mine is 10x that

[–] xrogx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Way beyond. Germany.

[–] Tylerfresh@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I have one server I built around a 13100f cpu. 2 3.5” hdds, 2 2.5” ssds and an nvme for boot. ~35w at normal use which runs me ~7c/day ~$24/year (upstate NY USA)

Any chance you'd want to share a json of that? I always have issues setting up table visualizations in Grafana and I'd love to see how you set those up.

[–] ryo4ever@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Geez! Now that’s a stats page!

[–] Vast-Avocado-6321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice, how'd you integrate your data usage statistics with NASA's mission control dashboard?

[–] SpinCharm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I fly under their radar….

[–] RidePlanet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you using NUT-server and reading it to Grafana? Would be interested to know the workflow here.

[–] SpinCharm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Here’s the code. It’s telegraf, varken, influxes v2, and grafana. And many hours.

Use a single wyze 5070 for my home server just because power usage was key, and it seems this thin client had best power use to performance to cost ratio. It uses I think around 16W on avarage.
