UPS takes about 4W to 10W
PS takes takes about 3W with S5 (same with S4) and 4W with S3. My system (i5-860) uses 8W with S4 or S5 and 9W with S3.

Indeed. If undervoltage too much EP35-DS3P (two other G33 boards) will end with endless reboot cycles, exactly the same as ill behaved S3 resume. Those problems occur whenever cpu voltage is set to be less than 1.000. However my S3 resume problem is different. Even with optimal defaults values in bi...

After swapping E6700 with Q9450, my EP35-DS3P will not resume from S3 sleep (endless rebooting cycle). Before, after disabling "loadline", S3 sleep was fine. Notice that I have 2x2GB ram sticks and my video is ATI 3450. Last night I removed one ram stick (as long as leaving one stick in any of four ...

Gigabyte's c.i.a usage

I searched this site and could find the mention of c.i.a. So I add something how I used it for dynamic fsb with undervolting mb (it is not my idea. I found it on the net). I have GA-EP35-DS3P mb. Originally I had E6700 cpu and I didn't have S3 resume problem after disabling readline in Bios. However...

My bios version is F3. Below "CPU Smart fan Control", there is "CPU Smart Fan Mode" in which you can choose "Auto", "PWM" and "Voltage", same as xafier.

Will Control+F1 reveal this menu?

I got ep35-ds3p a couple of weeks ago. I can confirm that speedfan cannot control cpu fan. I did not try the software control setting in speedfan though. When cpu fan is set to auto in bios, it runs full speed with 3pin fan. After setting fan to voltage with smart fan enable, my cpu fan finally slow...

Sorry. I forgot to mention that I changed Display to PEG (default was PCI) and enabled USB keyboard and mouse in bios at the same time. After that no more S3 resume problem. I don't know if Display with PCI was really the problem since monitor was never on after resuming from S3.

I had similar problem. I have EP35-DS3P with F3 bios, vista and E6700. After disabling loadline calibration in bios, resuming from S3 seems OK now.

Well. The explanation I got from my dealer was that Antec refuses to RMA because it is "configuration's fault": its +12V rail offers advertised 16A and Intel 830 and 840 require 16A continuous and 19A peak for 10ms. They sited this intel web: http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/2164...

Antec does not offer fix option for Neo HE 430

In later December I ordered two P150 with ASUS P5WD2 premium, Intel 830 D cpu, and 2GB ram. Two systems are almost identical except one has two harddisks. During installation, my dealer informed me these two Neo HE 430 will not power up sytems (in Jan). So I ordered two SS S12 430 to replace them an...

Neo HE 430W (came with P150) does not work with ASUS P5WD2 Premium neither. I assume P5WD2 Premium should be quite a new MB. Now I am waiting for replacement from Antec.

Neo He 430 does work with ASUS P5WD2 Premium

Last month I ordered two P150/ASUS P5WD2 Premium/P4 830 from a local campany. Today the technician who is assembling my systems told me that Neo He 430 will not boot both system. He suspected that +5V line is too weak (only 14A) and a non ame ps 350W can boot my systems because the +5V line is 32A. ...
