Q 9550 E0 results -ideal CPU for HTPCS ?
This will bring hardcore overclockers not down to their knees
but for me it looks rather fine
Worst case scenario for a Quad :
Small silent Silverstone HTPC case , filled with magic fleece
Asus P5 B-DLX (2 years old -hit rather hard)
Tiny Noctua UH 9 (height!) in push-pull config with 2x 92 mm Kama fans @800rpm
2 Yateloons 8omm @800 rpm
Q 9550 E 0 @ 3 GHz @ 1,09 V
Look at these load temps !!
Temps:
Core 0 : 48 C 100 % load
Core 1 : 48 C 100% load
Core 2 : 48 C 100% load
Core 3 . 48 C 100% load
temps idle : 38 C +- 0 all cores
first time I saw an Intel Quad with identic temp- reading @ all 4 cores
Best
Mine
