i am having fridge,tv,pc,fans,washing machine,iron box etc. no ac though. will have to check the unit rates. will tell later. probably 2rs per unit . not sure sure though. will clarify later.

2rs per unit
i think he is trolling us...........

knocking on heavens door
he is trolling...either about the rates or the no.of appliances.

also i think its better to under-volt the processor a bit and let it be.
and check for some current leakage somewhere maybe?

If you have OC'ed your cpu just underclock it to stock and let it stay on turbo mode so it automatically Oc's while gaming and then UC's when idle..this can save some power. Also only restrict core usage when you are not working on your computer, otherwise it isn't very much recommended

Can I limit my AMD FX 8320 to work only 4 Cores and disable the remaining 4 cores. In this way can any amount of electricity be saved.I don't know but please if anybody knows. Please help me. How to lower my electricity bills as I am using my PC daily for 12-14 hours.
If I don't OC can I go with i5 4670 with H87 MB. What is the best H87 MB having SLI/CF support? Can I use Turbo Core increase in non k CPU also. I heard that i5 4670k runs hot when overclocked compared to ivybridge, is it right? What would be the right CPU cooler if I don't OC? Can I go for Corsair H40? I mean it is the entry point Liquid Cooler available from Corsair right. Is it sufficient to keep the i5 4670 cool enough?
Finally I decided to go for an Intel Haswell to lower my electricity bills and I have decided to go for the following components and will be reusing the remaining ones in my signature:
Intel Core i5 4670 -15000,
MSI H87-G43 Gaming -9500,
Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X 2GB -15600,
Corsair H60 2013 Edition -5000,
Coolermaster 120mm 4 XtraFlo RED LED fans -2800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1500,
TOTAL -49,400.
If anybody have any better suggestions, Please spell out.

Difference between i5-4670 and i5-4570 is at max 2-3% which is not worth 1,000 rs [that's the reason i went with i5-4570]
If you're looking for SLI/CF msi h87-g43 is a bad board, but if not it's very nice.
No need of a CPU cooler if not ocing, my i5-4570 [with stock cooler] has never gone above 70degrees on prime 95, idles at around 38-42
Please dont buy the cooler it's not needed AT ALL.
Also i went with the B85 mobo because it has an energy saver option inbuilt:
Helps me with downloading stuff etc and shutting down when i am in college
It starts automatically downloads when computer starts
Just used it once but yeah its awesome

I noticed that the difference between the Z87 & H87 is negligible and the difference between the 4670 & 4670K is 1k only. As I am prepared to buy the H60 cooler so I decided to end this stalemate of what to buy or whether to buy or not by deciding upon the below config:
Intel Core i5 4670K -16100,
Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H -9500, (Chip & Digit Magazine Best Value Award)
Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X 2GB -15600,
Corsair H60 2013 Edition -5000,
Coolermaster 120mm 4 XtraFlo RED LED fans -2800,
Coolermaster 140mm 2 BC RED LED fans -1500,
TOTAL -50,500.
At the local shops I may get a discount of Rs.500. So I will be able to save 18k out of 68k budget which will useful after 2 years for a new GPU upgrade which ACidBaseD mentioned. Thanks again ACidBaseD for such a brilliant suggestion.

Um,bavusani,three questions-
1)You already have that Corsair H60.So why add it to the total bill?If you want the 2013 edition,it is called the H60i,I think.Why not use your old H60?
2)You could try undervolting your CPU.I have and it runs cooler than what it used to be.I run my Rig for >12-14hrs daily.Have you tried that?
3)Why AMD-->Intel?I understand all your points about performance and power consumption,but if you can afford the whole expenditure of switching over for not a massive performance jump,then you should be able to foot a 3k electricity bill..Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
The GPU of your current rig,isn't it bottlenecking your processor at 1080p?My 6850 used to and CPU usage was at 30-40% in windows task manager.Now,I have a R9 280X and cpu and gpu usage have balanced themselves somewhat.Again,correct me if I am wrong.
My suggestions for your rig :
AMD FX 8320 : 0
ASUS M5A99X(See below) : 11790
Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X : 23000
Corsair H60 (current) : 0
fans : 4300
-----------
total : 39090
I do not know anything about motherboards so I picked one that just looked good.Anyone is free to replace my choice of Motherboard.Though even with 55k,I have left room for a better choice of motherboard though I fail to see how with an air cooler,the overclocking room of his motherboard is increased.Afaik,Better motherboard=Higher overclocks=More heat produced=More effective cooling?
In case,you are having issues with your H60 not cooling enough,and want to go for a better air cooler ,the total (with Hyper 212 Evo) is 41890.But I do not know the overclocking headroom you would gain with air cooling.

bavusani, I strongly suggest that you should check the circuits of your house by some well trained electricians for current leackage or faulty equipments like water Geysers, AC. Buddy, I am using FX series for quiet some time now, with a 4.6 GHz overclock all the time and I run my system 8 to 9 hours a day. But never faced such high electric bills like you are describing here. Rather than jumpting to conclusion and spending lot of money, you make sure that reason you think is actually the reason.
Yes,It is possible look for some setting in your motherboard BIOS.

i already told i will clarify later. so both of you should have waited for my reply before calling me a troll.
here is the proof. check clearly. total units consumption - 164 units.
amount to pay - rs 299.

You know buddy how many units I am getting for my whole house with all appliances running daily like TV-8 hours, PC-12 hours, 2 Fans-15 hours, 1AC -2 hours, Fridge-24 hours, 3 Tube-Lights-5 hours, Water-Heater-2 hours around 500-600units per month which amounts to 3k max every month.i am not a troll

PS: rijinpk1 you are consuming very less compared to me, that's why you are getting couple of hundreds bill. Also the charge will double every 50 units after crossing 150 units in our state buddy.

this is applicable to me also. but i dont know whether it is double or not.
you may not need to run the fridge for 24 hrs. 15 hrs is more than enough.

My mother always keeps Sambar,Milk,Chicken,Eggs,Butter,Butter-Milk,Curd likewise foods frozen in the deep freezer for days. So we need it to run 24 hours without interruption.
In fact I need to reduce my consumption of electricity by reducing the PC running hours daily from at least 12 hours to at least 5 hours max.

dude first of all i dnt understand the language of the bill..............
2nd it is HOLY ****!!!! even after 164 units ur bill is 299 only (its lesser than 2 rs per unit WTH!!) i mean how is this even possible here at bangalore its way costlier.......
how come after having so many appliances ur consumption is low?
u must be living alone then......

that is why i edited the bill to show no. of units consumed and amount to be paid.
we are 4 members in the family.
you should wait before you sell your pc. keeping so many things on freezer will increase electricity by a lot. i think you should tell your mom not to keep so many things on freezer and also run the fridge for 15 hrs or less. try to do it for atleast a month or two. then check your electricity bill for any possible reduction in cost.
