The Core voltage at idle according to CPU-Z 1.44.2 is 1.120/1.136v (it changes every 2 seconds). Whilst running Prim95 2x times CPU-Z reads the core voltage at 1.136v, I will have to check the BIOS again to see that everything is set correctly, or does the voltage not drop as dramatically as with A...

Do you have the link?

Don't have any experience with it of my own, but I found this link: http://www.thekip.nl/2008/04/06/quick-u ... linux-phc/

I read something about the acpi-cpufreq module under Ubuntu that can be used for undervolting.

1. I think the power used at 9.5x @ 0.95V settings are the power used at 5.0x @ 1.0V times (9.5/5.0) times (0.95/1.00V)², so that would be 1.71475 times that power, IF we take into account that the power scales perfectly linear with the clock and the power scales squared with voltage. I don't think...

Or maybe even better: wait for the 45nm quadcores, who are supposedly much better.

+3GHz is not bad at all! Can you post the voltage increase that was needed to attain that high of a clockspeed?

I agree. Unless there is a specific reason/thing you want to do that on-board sound can't do (like to complement a high quality speaker system), I'd stick with the simplest solution. - hopefully, less driver issues. - 10W less power consumption A recent comparison of onboard vs sound cards on The T...

Soundstorm was more than just DDL, however. While adding DDL was a great point and allowed one to use the system in a HTPC role easily, the quality of the onboard sound was as good, if not, better than the crappy Creative cards being sold at the time (M-audio and Turtle Beach made good cards too). ...

Nothing compared to SoundStorm from those nForce2 chipsets, no? Which in that case is a darn shame.

The article is a precursor to a bigger article but it seems as if they wanted to share their experience in advance to warn people of potential problems. If you wait for the main article I’m sure they’ll give full details of their test setup as is their usual policy. It may be the precursor to a...

I suspect the main question posed by this thread has become irrelevant with the recent arrival of AMD 780G and imminent arrival of nVidia 8200. :D Can you explain this please? Since I'm still looking around for the best 690G board to buy, maybe I should be looking at the newer generation of chipset...

The BE-2300 and X2 3600 (if you get the 65nm part) are based off of the same core. I suspect the X2 3600 is probably pretty close to 45W already since it operates at very similar speeds and voltages to the BE-2300. The 65W class includes higher clocked (and thus more powerful) processors so the 65W...

780p playback is smooth as expected. i'm having some issues with 1080p (mkv files). that might be a software thing, i'm seeing cpu usage in the high 80's-90% Have you ever tried using CoreAVC as H264 decoder? I don't know if that also works for VC1, but you can always try. What I know of it is that...
