Guess mine is really on the high side. If that's the case then I really wonder why. :( Any educated guesses on your part ? Honestly it's really painful (on my part) to accept that as a fact and I'd be really delighted (& relieved) if I can bring my numbers down to the norm. No help from anyone here...

Anand's test set-up has two hard drives. Tom's only has one which could easily explain the extra 5W. Besides, for Tom's to get 40W AC, that would mean the power supply is only operating at around 50% efficiency. Despite being oversized, I don't think the PC P&C Silencer 750W would go quite that low...

From SPCR's review , their i5-661 system with onboard graphics uses just 18W DC idle. Instead of an indication of how efficient the PSU is, I think the extremely low power consumption at idle we're seeing from Clarkdales is a testament to Intel's power gating techniques. Figuring 30W is already at ...

I think you might be the exception rather than the rule. Can't really agree with that. 30W idle with a huge chunk of the PSU's power wasted as inefficiency is theoretically just not possible ... especially if the PSU is 750W like that used by Tom's. As for your case, if you're really getting 30W, t...

Huh, that's interesting. I would have thought the SeaSonic S12II would have better efficiency. It's possible it might just be because of different parts - e.g. motherboard, no optical drive in my build, etc. Also, are you sure you're getting 40W totally idle? Even Tom's was able to get 25W using a ...

Are your figures correct ? There's no way you can get 30W idle with a 300W PSU unless it's 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum.
I've tested mine with a Seasonic S12II-330 Bronze and idle on the same machine is in the low 40s (Watt).

a PICO-120w will be safer. the thing is that i allready own a picopsu90 that i could use with my cpu and motherboard. 90W PicoPSU is definitely enough.

So you are willing to get 400 psu, to with 40W load, interesting, Unfortunately 400 model likely will never be mass produced, it starts from 660W and above, the 760 being priced +20$. Both the 400W and 460W will be mass produced and available soon as confirmed by the Seasonic distributor for Singap...

Hardly fair to compare power of systems with two different video cards. However, the Phenom processors will not be as efficient as the Athlon II series (particularly the new 45W models). My HTPC (see sig) idles around 60W with integrated GPU. Difference in power consumption between GT 240 and 4670 ...

The 905e is 65W, so if you want the lowest TDP (AMD) quad core possible (45W) you'll have to go for an Athlon II (600e, 605e). As far as I know there's no Phenom II with 45W TDP at the moment. Does anyone know where I can purchaee the Energy Efficient Athlon II processors (eg. 240e, 600e, 605e) in ...
