nice rig 

roughly you can check GPU consumption on https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison or https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

but to be precise you really need multimeter, e.g. kill-a-watt

thank you Wusolini
i really appreciate your help

hello guys
where can i download entire bitcoin blockchane till today in compressed file ?
thanks in advance  

Download it yourself and zip it or compress it yourself. Youll have to update it it very often to keep up with the new found blocks.

I also have the same question, if would be awesome if someone provided a .torrent for the date.

There is a torrent its called bootstrap.dat and can be found here:

https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/

This will however not be the full blockchain, but only a big part of it.

See also here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0

https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.txt
The current bootstrap.dat covers blocks up to 295000.

I don't think it's compressed anywhere.

Think again, though the compressed file is out-dated (last update in Feb 2013) and the https doesn't work.

The bootstrap.dat file seems pretty up-to-date. I mean, not a lot of blocks missing.

IIRC, the file will be updated everytime we get a new version in bitcoin qt.

Looks like your information is out-dated

Did you miss the word "compressed"?
You can find an out-dated compressed bootstrap file "bootstrap.7z" through my link.

Yes, I did =/

Here is a version from Oct 2013.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoinblockchain/files/29-10-2013/
Still working and providing at least 750KB/s (im on a shared wireless conection so you can probably do better)

Id rather download the uncompressed data and let my own client do the verification though.

Hehe, I often mistype and misread posts as well, especially when I am tired.
But looks like I am in a great shape today, even though I have already spent hours on bitcointalk lol.
