QUOTE(blaxez @ Sep 12 2006, 09:30 PM) I just can't understand why you guys opt to downclock your pc? Just like having a Ferrari but just park it in your garage for surfing and some office work dont need 3.46ghz brute force processor power. so u end up wasting ur energy/electrical bill. i only run my proc @1ghz and still can play some game. best way to downclock is using 3rd party software like rightmark and when u need some power u can load ur preset profile. |

QUOTE(lohwenli @ Oct 19 2006, 11:59 AM) Check this article from silentpcreview, its about undervolting the processor to save power i agree with u http://www.silentpcreview.com/article313-page1.html the numbers are quite surprising, even the Athlon 64 X2 is pretty amazing (Conroe wasn't out yet for another few months when the article waas written). Never expected AMD's CPUs to take up so little power when tweaked right. Of course, this article makes no sense to overclocking addicts.. Maybe can hold competition for lowest power consuming PC (and probably most silent & coolest running) that can meet a certain level, say, 3000 3Dmarks in 3DMark2003? Should be interesting..  but better if we using superpi only, coz graphic card will effect a lot in 3dmark03. but i donno what happen if using my amd64 @400mhz and pairing with 7950gx2... either one must be choking...  |

sorry my mistake! i got ur point already.. but u just mention how hard to measure total system consumption. even if we using a active pfc psu we still only 85~95% power effeciency and not everyone can afford to buy clamp meter to measure from wall socket plus they can give a wrong information. btw we still need a more supportive member to give more opinion.
