Hmm got lost with all that new stuff.Originally Posted by KTE
Nice.
That PSU is around 76-78% efficirent at those Watts. It won't be more at all.
So your DC draw is less.
I found that efficiency the power meter reported suspicious, i bought that psu because it is silent not because it's power efficiency.
Anyway if i enable CnQ the only thing that drop with phenom is the cpu multi and that has no measurable effect on poffer usage.
So i thought once it works as with k8 the cpu voltage will also drop.
I found it runs stable with 5x multi and CPUV 1,025V consuming 73,5W VAC idle.
Same system requires 91,5W VAC with 5x multi and CPU at 1,25V (min required to run stable at stock speeds).
So once CnQ also drops CPU voltage the power usage will drop ~18W.
NB runs at 1800 MHZ and also the memory runs at full speed in CnQ idle.
With an k8 cpu the memory speed drops and i assume also the ram voltages, i wonder if that will ever be the case on that board with a phenom cpu.
Here it got worse, after playing with BE-2400 for two days now the phenom requires 0,25-0,5V more for overclocking, trying to get it stable at 223 ht atm.
Saw you tried the 5000+ BE and must agree that those G2 cpu's are more fun to play with. Thought max ht ref for my board is ~290MHz, found that it can run up to ~340MHz with BE-2400.Run's stable with 10,5 CPU multi and 305MHz ht ref.
