Re: HTPC Build

If you need something more powerfull than Intel GMA, then AMD A6 3500/3600 should work

BTW, are you going to use shader effect for this build?

Stressing single connection with several devices are not a good idea. Over current could fried the main cable/molex connector

By the way, what kind of lights on your setup? is it LED or CCFL?

CnQ won't work with manual voltage settings(at least on K10). Well, it's not a big matter though
You can overide this problem with custom P-state software (ex:RMClock,PhenomMSRTweaker)

*using X4 620 w/ PhenomMSRTweaker.Currently run 1.1625v@full-load & 0.9750v@idle
