What is the coolest running quad core out there?

[ingeborgdot]

Is it intel or amd? And which one is it?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

q9550s? isn't that the energy efficient model from intel?

[Splave]

probably an undervolted q9550/q9450

Q8300 or Q8200

[570091D]

looking to overclock or use with a quiet or low profile cooler? the chips with less cache will conume less power and produce less heat, the q9550s is intended to business use and you will probably have a hard time finding one for sale. my first quad was a q9300 and it was a screamer.

[ingeborgdot]

Which consumes less power. The 860 or the 920?

[PeterStoba]

Surely an Athlon II X4 600e would run cooler?

[RoadconeTuning]

i would expect an AMD chip to be cooler running

[ingeborgdot]

That may be but I want to know which would consume less power between the 860 or the 920.:)

[Boulard83]

+1 for AMD chip, they run cooler.

But as for INTEL, i think the Q8xxx are the coolest one.

[Vinas]

i5 750 is the coolest running.

[ingeborgdot]

Is 860 or 920 the lowest power consumer?????????????????????????????????????????? ????:rofl:

[BeepBeep2]

I dont know what the Q9XX0's are doing but on my lowly Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer (5-6c higher temps than the TRUE/Mega) my AMD Phenom II 965BE Chip peaks at 57c load @ 3950 Mhz with 1.520v...54c if I leave the CPU-NB ( i7 uncore) at stock.


To answer your question, the 860 comsumes less power but I don't think runs much cooler than the 920.
