uiks.. dont post phone no here laarr.. later everyone call you want to tease your pc..

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..

bro i want to ask you something...i should trust cpu-z or my T-utility overclock software to check the voltage...coz both seems to be different
after i OC, my temp max goes to 30+ only
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.

Arrr...dun poison me la.
IIANM, higher wattage supported PSU do save electric right??
-pWs-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.

OT meant??
I see. The power consumption will be high or not?
Who here got the wattage reader device? Pinjam guna kejap?
-pWs-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..).

which of the following is better..? all about two years old
1) artic silver 2
2) artic silver ceramic
3) thermalright SI97 supplied compound
ok..
i bought:-
- AMD x2 6000+
- ASUS M2A-VM HDMI
- 2x 1GB 667 Corsair ValueSelect
i adjust the chipset vcore to 1.4v, ddr2 vcore to 2.0v and processor vcore to 1.5v and set the bus speed to 220mhz and the system run at 3300mhz beautifully, the only problem is the CPU temp hovering around 56-58, is it a bit high?
i am using AMD stock cooler with the stock compound, will the above mentioned compound help? pls advise..

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..
