yeah thats so damn true...i on abt 5 prime95 then wait awhile then the temp fly up 41degrees..then later i off all the prime95 the temp can drop to 30degrees within seconds and later few minutes to 25degrees

Damn, I 1 week not online tambah 7-9 pages..read until pening

No prob..I memang got no harapan to have the best PC..what I want is to be very inovative in making the most out of what I can get..

I've long since lost my trust in any board-based voltage monitoring, whether its bios, everest, speedfan or any other program..whenever I take out my digital multimeter and test the board directly I get very different results from what I see in software. Either the value is outright wrong, it fluctuates when its supposed to be fairly constant. Even if most of the values are vaguely correct, there is always at least one which is completely screwed up. Can't find any reason except that the monitoring chip on the motherboard has f***ed accuracy.

Not really, depends on the PSU design. Typically most (80-90%) of reliable PSUs have good efficiency (75-80%) from 20% load to 80% load. Below 20% and above 80%, efficiency is typically worse, around 65-75% Which means,

450W PSU
Efficient range 90-360W

600W PSU
Efficient range 120-480W

1000W
Efficient range 200W-800W

Of course this may vary, highly depends on the design of the PSU. Some rare ones have good efficienty (70-85%) at even very low (=<10%) and very high load (90-120% -120 is overloaded) while some have abyssmally bad (<60%, I've even seen one as bad as 40 something %) efficiency at those high and especially low loads. To be sure, check out reviews by jonnyguru and silentpcreview, they record the efficienty of PSUs thoughout the operating range.

I have a friend who has a Kill-a-watt meter, and another meter which is slighly better. I haven't tried either yet, currently I'm just using my digital multimeter's AC current measurement function to measure my PC'sower consumption. One day I'll borrow his meters and make a comparision, if possible with an osciloscope as well (have to drag PC to physics lab; heavy le..).

Thats really nice, but damn its out of my reach (financially)

Those compounds will help, but only a few degrees at most. From best to worst, Artic silver ceramique, Artic silver 2, thermalright supplied compound.

Added on October 27, 2007, 6:39 pmDamn, just read through the Black edition review..I want a brisbane G2 for my HTPC (must be cheap la)..no need fast to hold any performance records..even at 3.1GHz the power consumption is damn low..can passive cool if necessary..

Added on October 27, 2007, 7:00 pmFound out how to idenify the new Brisbane G2 processors, OPN ends with DO.

Someone faster find the price..

wow..a new revision brisbane???
Any review??

hehe just tease ur la..

wut the higher HTT can set?? the result is combined rite??

will impress if this G2 is overclockable

IMO, G2 is as overclockable as G1.

Seems like G2 is some sort like F3...
With a improved memory latency and improve memory controller..hehehehhe

That tomshardware review of the 5000 Black Edition counts as a Brisbane G2 review. Read it in full detail. G2 has improved overclockability and greatly lowered power consumtion even at high frequencies. 3.0GHz on stock voltage should be possible for most G2, and if the voltage is kept that low it will only take 7* watts at most, which allows it to compete with C2D even in full load power consumption and performance (it pulls up even with the E6550 when OC to 3.1GHz). Things are looking good for AMD's 65nm processors, even Barcelona has a new stepping, B2 (original release is A0), hopefully it might resolve the clockspeed issues that plagued the original Barcelona release.

Btw, before you fire me about the known fact that Brisbane is slower than Windsor, there hasn't been any comparision between the G1 and G2 stepping in terms of clock for clock performance. In the tomshardware review though, at 3.1GHz it beats the 3.0Ghz Windsor F3 by roughly 1.5% in non-cache size sensitive applications with a 3.33% difference in clock speed(in cache sensitive applications it gets pawned by the 6000's and the E6550 large caches;1MBx2 and 4MB respectively). So yes, its most likely it will never beat the Windsor F3s in overclocked performance, but it now can be clocked up to high enough speeds while remaining really cool.

emm this would be a good replacement for F3..since the F3 supplies is very scarce..BUt Im sure we would see a more benchamrk btw G1,G2 and F3 soon..

And for the B2, I saw somewhr with 2.4GHz overclocked speed. And it score 24s IIANM for SPI 1M.
Kinda impressive

Editted: It is 32s for SPI 1M

got link.. want see..

2.4Ghz with 24s??

really

I am sorry. It is B1
Even w our best K8. We cannot do 32s w 2.4GHz
But k10 does improve if compare w k8

Edited: It is 32s not 24s for SPI 1M.

Barcelona 2350 B1

Ermm...i dun think it is a suitable place to discuss barcelona. Better keep to the topic
So anyone here got his/her G2?

-pWs-

LYP having G2 ady??

or current new stock all is G2...

next week going back AMD factory doing my FYP... hehe may have chance to try~~

giv me one la.. wah. which one u want bro?? F3 or G2??

haha~~ i only know it is opteron or dual core or for laptop proc~~

but i i don know what speed it is~~ coz need send to Sg to print the code above the proc~~ and test in Sg too~

Pg here only manufacturer only~~~

But i know currently AMD Penang is busy about Quad Core also~~

Yea...Phenom coming out soon in parallel w ATI new card
IMO, i think F3 still win G2.

First page editted.
If anything wrong, please PM me.
I am more than willing change for u guys.

If new entry, please follow the rules.
Thanks

-pWs-

wah.. quite interesting with new edited page

oc just now, finally make it to 21s zone
also , able to hit 3981MHz clock speed
thanks to CV6149 for the fish pump suggestion

@ongbs
you are right about something , one step to 4GHz
almost a 100% oc ..what a wonderful day

Pi 1M 21.953s

clock speed 3981MHz cpu-z validation: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=260411


finally i make it

4ghz
