Process Ideation

Plan

Make initial test trimmed down. Try not to do overly much.

Data Points

• Peak power draw, note any anomilies
  • Idle power draw →69.6 →73.1 W, 50→ 71 W, mostly around 67W
• Monitor:
  • GPU core temp
  • CPU core temp
  • Power draw anomilies
  • Memory usage
  • CPU/GPU usage for anomilies
• Time of test to complete/and/or score

Methodolology

• Will run these test with nothing else running on the system, other than system functions
  • Restart before doing testing
• Using the proprietary Nvidia driver
• Will use stock specs, as would be used in a productivity setting
• Power data from a Poniie PN1500 Inline Monitor
• Monitoring using lm_sensors, Psensor as a front end for anaomolies only
  • 1070 temp sensor
  • Monitoring the temperature of the die
  • CPU Usage
  • 1070 graphics report ←usage
  • 1070 memory
  • Free memory via gtop2
• Torch ← 1.7.0
• Note taking app will be open for noting results

Specs

• GTX 1070
• Ryzen 3700X ←artifically cut down to a quad core for more consistent results (one CCX) and a more balanced system in a productivity space
• 32GB 4x8 DDR4 3200MHz TIMINGS
• All under a watercooling loop with two 360mm radiators, DDC pump, and low speed Noiseblocker E-Loop 2 fans. Configured for silence, but with plenty of thermal overhead for the system at hand.
