Re: Phenom II X4 955 and Athlon II X4 640 idle power?
also dependson which stepping 955 is in that xbit labs review.
most 955s in reviews are probably C2 stepping which didnt have c1E. C3 955s do have it. so they idle even less.

my mini review of supermicro CSE-731i-300B mATX server case
so given what i'd call a dearth of micro ATX "high quality" options I stumbled across this case when looking for a new case for a build and wow its actually quite nice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811152123 is its newegg link. There is a slightly different version the CSE-7...

I don't know what the grunt about SO-DIMM is, aren't they more power efficient and similarly priced, with a form factor possibly allowing more than 2 slots on a mini-itx motherboard? If anything I think sata 6gbps vs sata 3gbps is much more important than the difference in ram as many SSDs releasin...

if you put an am3 chip into a am2 board (not an Am2+ board though) the am2 board doesn't support split plane voltage so it will use more power as there isnt the lower voltage available. so if you used say a am3 chip in a geforce 6100 board vs say a newer board like a 785g it would use a little more ...

At first, even Intel itself can't standardize mounting holes -- there're Socket 775/1156/1366 in the market and they require different mounting clips. Second, AMD has managed to continue using AM2 mounting clips across the AM2/AM2+/AM3 boards, so why do they must ditch consistent, successful mounti...

new athlon ii 250u cpu... 25W tdp..
I was at officemax today and saw a computer that was built into an 18.5" monitor by HP.
Apparently its a 1.6ghz cpu based on the regor core, and there is also a planned 260u model.
Anyone know if there is a place online to buy just a cpu?

If you're willing to undervolt on your own, 250 seems to be a better choice. Otherwise, 235e is a 45W cpu for people who don't like to make their hands dirty. i actually had a 250 and 240, and have a 235e now. the 235e at idle still uses a couple less watts somehow even when i undervolted the 240. ...

the article's benchmarks are not entirely good for interpreting.. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1013-page4.html so that chart makes the hd3200 look really slow. the problem is they used the 4850e with the hd3200 and the phenom ii with the hd3300 (they are the same chip just 500mhz and 700mhz)...

CnQ won't work if the manual voltage settings(at least on K10). Well, it's not a big matter though That depends on the motherboard. Some of them keep C'n'Q active when undervolting. Some even lower the idle voltage accordingly. My Jetway NC62K-LF is such an example. I run my 240 at 1.125 V and idle...

the voltage is only .75 lower than a normal 240 1.35 vs 1.425.
