stevea: The Atom is a CPU with a very low power consumption, but on mITX boards it is usually paired with the standard 945 chipset, which is a relative power hog. Hence the ~25W idle figures routinely seen. The 13W figures you have seen are will be for the Intel D945GSEJT board, which uses the mobil...

I'm going to give a big thumbs up to Antec's UK customer service. I bought a Sonata on ebay a couple of years ago, which was missing a couple of front bay blanking covers, the dust grille and a key. I emailed antec to say they were missing from my unit and how could I get some spares. They replied, ...

Frank This mobo has a option to enable bios controlled fan speed. There is a further option to set the minimum fan speed to 'low' or 'off'. I have tried both, and found that both work well, although like ntlavas, the system allowed the CPU to get pretty hot before ramping up the fan speed when the m...

I've recently bought a D945GSEJT, which I am very happy with. I'm currently running Ubuntu server 9.04 from an 8GB USB thumb drive, with a 1.5TB Samsung F2 5400 rpm drive and a USB TV tuner for Mythbackend recording. It runs at about 18 watts idle. If the HD is spun down it goes to about 15W - witho...

I have a soc.939 opteron with undervolt and a newer p45 c2d e8600 without. Reason1 - c2d has better power management already. There is room to undervolt idle state but watts and temperature difference is negligeable. Reason2 - software undervolt is near impossible on linux. BIOS undervolt is not ac...

I've got to say I have trouble spotting the difference between the blades in the link that you posted. Here are a couple of pictures taken earlier today (sorry, I just unplugged the fan and took a picture with it in place, rather than took it out of my machine)! http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f96...

I purchased 2 Yate Loons from Chilled PC (see http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=75_89&products_id=411 ), last month. They were dispatched quickly, with reasonable postage fees. I've got no way of telling if they're fakes, but I've got no reason to believe they are - both are kee...

smax3. Thanks for your help with this, and for a fantastic tool for undervolting! Just as a help to anyone else using Ubuntu desktop who wants to autostart cpupowerd, I did the following: Download and configure cpupowerd according to the README file, including saving the optimal voltages in cpupower...

Thanks very much smax3 for that, it's very much appreciated. I had sort of guessed that putting the modules in /etc/modules would be necessary, it was the init script that I needed. I haven't got time to try it out now, but will try tomorrow. I'll also hopefully have time to test out the power consu...

Thanks very much for the great information in this thread, particularly the pointer to cpupowerd. I downloaded it from sourceforge, and followed the excellent README that is included. It really worked like a dream from that point, and I had no problems undervolting it successfully. The BE2350 in my ...
