That's a mighty chip. What sort of power does that use? I can imagine it would get pretty hot. Are you using Steem you've earned to pay for hardware?

Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 v3 (25M Cache, 2.30 GHz), it has a TDP of just 105W and that is under full load of all the cores, so not actually very power hungry under normal operations... the desktop Core i7 5820K is with a TDP of 140W (has less cores, but higher operating frequency). I still have not used any of the Steem Dollars earned to purchase anything physical... all my earnings for the first month went into purchasing more Steem Power when the price was much higher than it is now. Then some of the more recent earnings I have used to purchase a ticket from SteemFest and not that much is left, but the rest I'll use to finally get something... maybe some cool hardware to review on Steemit.

I'm impressed that the power requirements do not go up. I don't keep up with developers in processors these days. I got a quad core AMD a couple of years back and haven't felt the need for more power. I hope in time we will be able to shop directly with Steem Dollars. Have fun at SteemFest.

AMD CPUs are generally more power hungry than Intel, but when you are using water coling 100-150W from the CPU are nothing to even think about... if there is a power hungry GPU also cooled with water then things might be a bit different, but still not an issue for a more serious setup.
