I can trip the measly 15 amp breaker by drawing 1.5kW on two servers + turning on an amplifier that is somehow on the same circuit despite being in a different room quite far from where my servers are lol.
On average though I only draw like 350W. The huge spike only happens if I run a miner/llm on both of my servers or the during the startup spike.
The 1kW chunk comes from some RTX Quadro 6000s which each eat 250W each when maxxed out.
EDIT: Want to mention that most machines report their power draw (from mobo) without IPMI, so you can use your favorite stats collector use it to form a rough estimate of kWh total in case you don’t have a proper meter that records usage.






Uh no, most if not all of the paid indexers are not worth it compared to just waiting for an open invite from a quality one.
Not even the gold tier quality ones allow paid entry AFAIK. They only allow people who are long time seeders and uploaders with reputation.
The one thing you might have to pay for is a VPN in case you want to torrent on public indexers, which is often worth it because not everything will end up on private indexers, and you usually have to wait a couple of months before you can join a solid private indexer.
