HP LP3065 Moderate whine at all brightness settings, except maximum luminosity. An additional unacceptable high whine appear in some documents with horizontal lines. This whine appear at all brightness levels including maximum luminosity. It is a rare event, but very irritating. Zoom in and zoom ou...

Here are some photos of the old (left) and new version (right): http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/197/dsc01163yn5.th.jpg http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/6476/dsc01162gm9.th.jpg I measure the power consumption, and the new version is more energy efficient: 06 oct 2007 drive: 5.77W idle / 3.61W he...

No change in power consumption at idle with 8.8 beta.
His 4850, Windows XP x64, original bios.

....Also worth noticing: dropping GPU frequency doesn't affect idle power consumption or temperature at all with HD 4870, so I don't know what the current "PowerPlay" is supposed to do... Same with my His HD4850. No effect reducing the frequency from 500 to 200 or even 160. Though, if i put the fre...

What's strange about this PSU is that the maximum efficiency is at 20%, and presumably is higher under 20% of nominal power. Similar efficiency graphs are present at Dell F255E-00 and H255E-00 . Maybe is a new technology, similar with digital PWM on some mainboards. I want a photo with internals.......

The 8.7 driver is out, and power-play is not working properly.
The temperatures are the same and the power consumption from the wall remain the same

HybridPower work with GTX260, acording with nvidia:

...HybridPower works very well with the combination of the 780a SLI and 9800 GTX according to Legitreviews . [pic] Something is fishy about the power consumption. From when a system with a 9800GTX running in 3D consume only 117W ? :lol: .But in performance mode appear to be working, only if you don...

Test Platform.....

Anybody felt a modification in power consumption at idle with the leaked Catalyst 8.7 beta? Or registering lower temperatures?

Some power consumption are here: http://techreport.com/articles.x/14500/5 , indeed D2X is hungry.

Oooo, Creative X-fi Elite Pro & Sennheiser Hi-fi headphones. :shock: so its not that loud...once you put on those Sennheisers? That model don't have noise attenuation properties. So all the noise is entering in the ears. At least if you sell it, relocate the HDD-s, space between them is recommended....

Sooooory, i made a mistake, for 5V measurement for Samsung i forgot to change the connection for proper scale on multimeter. :oops: 200mA and 20A scale have different connection on multimeter. :oops: The value for 5V on Samsung drive is 83.8mA :oops: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4696/dsc01142o...

12V * 0.007A = 0.08w
Total = ~2.4w

5V * 0.008A = 0.04w
12V * 0.002A = 0.024w
Total = ~0.06w

So, here 1A=100mA ?

I think 1A=1000mA.

My Philips DVDR1660P died (problem recognizing disks), and i replaced with a Samsung SH-202H . I was curious about power consumption at idle, and using a multimeter obtained these results: Philips DVDR1660P : on 5V 0.46A ; on 12V 0.7mA Samsung SH-202H : on 5V 0.8mA ; on 12V 0.2mA So the Philips cons...

....i've just installed my new 512MB 3850 and found that it idles 25 Watts higher than the Intel IGP.... The Intel northbridge become more hungry with PCIE enabled, and probably some other components start running when inserting a video card. http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/316968.htm...

I have a 500GB T166 and 1TB GP. The T166 is a little bit louder compared with GP, both at seek and idle. I have also a 320GB Seagate 7200.10, which is substantially more loud, especially at seek...crappy drives. Don't forget, the 500GB GP have only 2 platters, so is more quit compared with 1TB part ...

Nice air path in that case. :) I see on the metal plate in front where are two 12cm fans, it have holes, and the air is escaping without cooling any components. I suggest some duct tape to block the air. The wires for front panel could use one hole, not two, in idea to obstruct one more hole. If it ...

Yep, 5 fans. And 3 HDD is needed for movies, they are big and don't fit on 4.7 or 8.5GB optical media. On temporal basis, the noisiest is the power source, but only in games, and the seek noise of a Maxtor 500GB hdd. The offenders on permanent function is the 12cm fan on top of the case and the HP L...

switching of power phases depending on CPU workload I hear something similar is used in laptops. Is a good idea, but must be implemented in bios, not with some application. On x48 mainboard things look good: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1271/14/page_14_power_consumption_tests/index.html But at ...

A review for 2900 version on Legion Hardware

Initially was no fan or hole on top of the case, but i put one because my power source (Akasa 400W, a relabeled Enhace) have holes in the back, and the hot air emerge there. And the processor(Core 2 Duo e6600 @3Ghz) is at reasonable temperatures, after some time with Orthos i have 53C (23C room temp...

Some wood, a very cheap case (0,4mm steel)... It's quiet, but not much, the power source become noise when gaming, but always use headphones, so no problem. http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7506/dsc01058mr4.th.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/274/53388203ri1.th.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/i...
