I run a small server at home on my PC but the thing is the power bill is becoming too much. I have maintained around 97% uptime running the server 24X7 for over 2 years.My PC isIntel Celeron D 2.8GHzIntel D915GEV Motherboard2GB Dual Channel RAM DDR2 533128MB Nvidia Geforce 62002 X 80GB Hitachi SATA1 X 160GB Hitachi SATA2 X Rear Exhaust Fans2 X Font Intake FansPowerCenter UPS500W AGC PSUBut the problem is I think its using too much power. I mean our power usage is ALWAYS over 330 KWh and yes I checked the house wiring for leaks, shorts etc. Also went so far to do a meter check!Well now today I removed my Nvidia Video Card, one of the exhaust fans... I do hope it will lower my power consumption.I also looked at the TDP values for processors. My Celeron processor has a TDP of 84W!!!! so now I have also decided to go for a Celeron 430 1.8GHz processor which only has a TDP of 35W. Is this a good idea?Btw, if I drop the power bill below 300 units I'll save A LOT. for 330 units our power bill is like Rs. 7100/-<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" />PS. The reason I have so many fans is because the processor runs VERY HOT. 57C idle, 65C full load. Its virtually enough to heat my entire 15ftx15ft room.</blockquote>
