8200 hotter as a chip, but less power for being single chip solution.
we'll see g45 65nm performance soon. p35 is 90nm chipset, it's not to be compared with 8200, even more with asus board, these are 20+ W hotter lately, or i'm wrong.

xbitlabs have the vrm loses exluded somehow

in fact i'm wrong, p31 is not int. video, or it is disablesd, but g31

that one g31 is just like p31-ds3l, but lacks all solid caps ultra durable

http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/4884/clipboardak6.png i have p31-ds3l and 2140 with undervolting cpu alone 20W are saved, so if it is 30W under load, think half of that. idle is 100W with 8800gt it is known p31-ds3l to have very low power usage, and the new EP31 is energy saver http://www.thetech...

how can u tell? tom is also cpu only

there is mofset efficiency and cpu voltages differ there is the difference.

http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/4334/eff230so1.th.png so i guess pro 82+ 385 draws 2W more 1-2% less efficient after all mine is 2140, 2*1Gb pqi, 8800GT, cheap fortron PSU 1.6Ghz @ 0.8875 109W in occt 1.86Ghz @ 0.975 114W in occt same with 1*1Gb module back to 109W idle 92-96W so ~ 85W DC max but ...

should i proceed with VID, should i connect 5+3 on the cpu socket or 5+6 on VRM regulator http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8890/copyofcopyofcopyofpictugr4.th.gif i tried pencil the ofs resisor but coudn't get lower than 1.288 wich resulted 1W drop form the original 40.0W/1.328V with my fortron. so...

come on 50Watts? is this a joke, 50watts for what? turning 2-4phases off?

keep looking, S3 fixed bioses, emerging.

my Gigabyte P31 board is overvolting the chipset to +0.2V when normal is set, can do +0.1v - 1.35, saves 2W. G33 is maybe able to do -0.2V.

my reference 8800gt is undervolted in bios to 1.0v, and is 1040mv instead of 1080mv when load. used nibitor and nvflash@usbdrive,bootable with nibotor edit xtra voltage and clocks and save and then flash maybe it will be possible with 9600GT, the new midend at default clocks 1.05/1.00/0.95 resulted ...
