Could you post a screenshot like the one below? It has CPU temperature but no motherboard temperature.

Do you know the model number of its Super I/O chip?
Does it show a valid motherboard temperature?

Klusu wrote: I have one x4

Do the product specifications say that the memory is "x4"? If not, what makes you think that it is "x4"?

Is there a DDR4 U-DIMM which is not 1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx1?
May I simply assume that a DDR4 U-DIMM must be 1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx1 unless the product specifications say otherwise?

They cannot confirm. See their reply at http://cs.adata.com:81/CSSCustReply.asp ... 0119051450
They were replying to this question: How do I find out whether it is "1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx16"?

Gigabyte GA-H110M-DS2(DDR3) which won't take DDR4 memory, only DDR3. GIGABYTE GA-H110M-DS2 uses DDR4 according to " 1-2 Product Specifications " in the following manual: http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-h110m-ds2(ddr3)_e.pdf GA-H110M-DS2 uses DDR4. GA-H110M-DS2 DDR3 uses DDR3.

The following modules are on the list in the PDF.
ADATA 8GB 2Rx8 AX3U1600W8G9-DB
ADATA 4GB 1Rx8 ADDU1600W4G11-B

How do I find out whether the following one is of a similar spec?
https://www.adata.com/us/feature/426
It says nothing about 2Rx8 and 1Rx8.

For this motherboard it is available from here . Do you mean I should only use the ones listed in the PDF there? The PDF says " Memory modules listed as above is for reference only. Due to massive memory models in market, we can only verify some of them ", so I think other models can also be used a...

Platinum is significantly more efficient that White. So for any given power draw it will pull less electricity from the mains supply. It will also dissipate less heat in the process. Achieving this improved efficiency needs better quality components particularly capacitors. This does affect durabil...

lodestar wrote:What does the other side of the circuit board look like?

You are right. On the other side are subtle traces covered with a solder mask. They can be seen from a particular angle in the light.
BTW, do you know why capacitors and ICs are used on this board?

As a computer idiot, I have no idea what you are talking about.

I use the following front panel I/O card, which seems to have no circuit traces.
How can data and power be transmitted without traces?

AVX was introduced around the Sandy bridge era, AVX2 with Haswell. Essentially its a feature of CPUs, some new programs do use them, usually the power draw is higher, and in most cases the CPU heat up more Is the "heating up more" reflected in TDP? If so, it is indicative of power draw. I'm very so...

As a computer idiot, I know nothing about them and will probably never use them.

As an ordinary home user, I can't think of a situation where I will use a CPU that way.

My USB910 header is directly connected with two ports without an I/O card. I just plugged the HDD into port 2 when port 1 was charging the phone. The HDD did not spin up initially but spun up after a while, so I think the problem with USB1112 lies in this front panel I/O card , which probably causes...

I'm guessing both ports can deliver 500mA just fine but the drive needs a bit more while spinning up. If it needed more than 500mA, it would not spin up using a back port, which presumably provides no more than 500mA. However, it does spin up using a back port. My guess is that the said USB1112 hea...

It's 500mA per port. My USB1112 header is connected with two ports. I just did the following test: 1. I plugged an HDD into port 2 when port 1 was charging a phone. 2. The HDD did not start spinning. 3. I unplugged the phone. 4. The HDD started spinning. As each port provides 500mA, how would you e...

You want to know how much power the system will draw, worst case. So that you can choose a PSU accordingly? I bought a 300W PSU last month. I want to know what components altogether it can work for. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSTwrKX4NVfeYkjYG7ED17q7Yq6cS6qc6un9By9IXpedHK2...

5V × 1.5A ＋ 12V × 2.0A ＝ 31.5 W.
That is the highest consumption, which is not very likely in real life. Am I right?

Vicotnik wrote:If you want highest power, that means that you do everything at once.

I want the highest power, out of interest and for safety.

the motherboard is not 40W I think Is ASUS H110M-E a low- or mid-end motherboard? What do you think the consumption should be? the DVD perhaps not 27W http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/rkwAAOSwPsBa~CIS/s-l1600.jpg It says "5 V／12 V ＝ 1.5 A／2.0 A".

"I thought there was a prevailing opinion here at the forums that Extreme Outervision over-estimates power requirements."—quoted from another forum.

Do you share this opinion?

For example, Core i5-4430 (3.0GHz, 4C, L3:6M, GT2, 84W, rev.C0).

Does my 300W PSU suffice? A team member on another forum advised me to use this calculator. Should I ignore his advice?

Vicotnik wrote:What is it you are trying to do?

I am just wondering about the following and may not take any action.
My SilverStone 300W PSU works fine with a dual-core CPU. Does 300W suffice for a quad-core CPU if I want my PC faster?

Power consumption would be about the same I think. https://outervision.com/b/aKHCZP (With Core i5-4460T, the total is 219 W.) https://outervision.com/b/gzraXi (With Pentium G3240, the total is 237 W.) Are the results accurate? Cheap dual core vs. T-branded chip usually shows the disparity between s...

I currently use Pentium G3240 (3.1GHz, 2C, L3:3M, GT1, 53W, rev.C0).
Assuming I replace it with Core i5-4460T (1.9GHz, 4C, L3:6M, 35W, rev.C0), will my PC be faster or slower?
It seems that i5-4460T uses less power than G3240.
