With reference to which setup? (Or, please, give - at least - a link to the original thread that you're referring to.)

With reference to your current setup, have you ever tried to not to use the Enermax intake fan at all? If in case, has it had worthwhile for quietness, and which drawbacks may have you experienced as for cooling?

As any poster in this section, I'm looking for a new, quiet system, but it's still no time to show my components list. First of all, I'd like to report two old quotes (at least just to show I'm quite a bit hanging around what SPCR said in the past) from MikeC. [quote="MikeC posted on Wed Jan 07, 200...

Linky 1.5W isn't that much but considering G33+Video<P35, G33 seems like a more efficient chipset. Thank you for your help. Those data, in my humble opinion, should need to be checked. I don't know so much about the Bearlake generation, but anway in the termal design guide of the previous Intel 963...

The Reserator XT has a 140 mm fans so it's going to be more noisy than the 1 and 2 I mean it should be actually checked out: there's also the noise related to the coolant flow rate, which could be influenced by the active cooling. Moreover fan operation can be manually adjusted in order to optimize...

Thank you a lot for promptly and thoroughly helping me, Andy.

As a non english-spoken people, sometimes (very often) I'm not so confortable with some word (acronym or not) informally used among any IT enthusiast group. So I beg your pardon preventively for my silly question. I often see expression like "gaming rig", "quiet rig", "my own rig" or "my new rig". W...

Can you kindly supply me some links to any reliable source of information about this statement?

pwnerx wrote:How many watts do I really need for this setup?

Just as a first look, maybe you wanna try also this: eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite v2.5 .
As far as I know, there's even a pro version which is able to estimate how many amps you'd eventually need.

After a few mail with DFI support service, I'm able to address my question by myself (and share this little bit of information). Currently DFI Inf. series motherboards (Dark, Blood Iron, etc) are not able to undervolt CPU VID in their BIOS, while their more expensive LanParty motherboards actually d...

I' not aware of this thread (even if I'm a bit dubious about how many watts a G33 would spare against the R600/RX1250).

In which country?

- which CPU to use? Low power is key. Not very soon to come: http://techreport.com/discussions.x/13239 - what passive cooling solutions would work with the CPU? With those above quoted TDP, I mean almost anything. - what mobo's? Ideally with 6xSATA connectors and passive chipset cooling. AFAIK ther...

jaganath wrote:I thought TDP was unchanged for Penryn?

For 45nm Penryn TDP shoud effectively be unchanged, but I mean that actual power consumption should also be slashed down, just as we've already seen with C2D G0 and M0 steppings (Intel has reduced their power consumption at idle by an handful of watts).

I mean there should be at least another option: the Intel CPU along with an AMD IGP chipset, aka the "infamous" Abit Fatal1ty (somewhat equivalent to AMD 690G-based AM2 motherboards). Anyway, about power consumption of current IGP offerings, you could find some (according to me, interesting) thought...

Thanks a lot to both for sharing. @cmthomson I've already seen your "three chambers system" (great job), so I know it's a rig of its own. Anyway, I hope that insome well cooled case (such as Antec Solo, or even more modest SLK3000 or NSK6000) it may perform reasonably well. @ryboto If I may ask: why...

SPCR Desktop CPU Power Survey Thank for the link! Is there no advice? Nobody knows? The fact that you don't know what undervolting is suggests to me you haven't looked around SPCR at all.

UP!

Is there no advice? Nobody knows?

As far as I’m aware they are all soldered directly to a motherboard so no joy with any of these. As far as I know it should not be completely true: there's at least one vendor (Radisys) which sells an ITX mobo for these cpus. I suggest buying a Core (2) Duo and under-volting and under-clocking it...
