Of course, what I'm running is not nearly as powerful as this. I'd still like to know what its pulling.

6 MWh here is about $900. I figure I'm using about 6 MWh/yr on TF. I have a couple more GTX 580s I picked up cheap I haven't pressed into service. Maybe soon.

I also do about 4 MWh/yr at the office in LL on CPUs, and another 4 MWh/yr at home.

Some of us live in the sub-arctic ...

35C today, 36 tomorrow. Others of us live where 20C is a winter storm.

My goodness! If we ever received temperatures that low the country would be shut down while emergency blankets were distributed. (I'm only half joking...)

I'm in central California tomorrow is supposed to swing from 33C during the day to 13C at night. I get the best of both worlds.

Here it is just 5-10 C with rain every day. I feel like going to bed and sleeping until March.

Oh my!

Where I live that would be a $700 reduction in my gas central heating bill.

I used to live in a place that had gas heat. Now, it's total electric. I suppose the heat from my power supply, CPU, and GPU, might help just a tiny bit.

...the lack of VRAM & VRM cooling was an oversight...

That sort of "oversight" does not speak well of EVGA.
