Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

Well a "gang" of professional physicists with engineers have enough of the credentials and knowledge needed to test such things to their theaoretical peak -> like what is done at LHC. This needs professional rather than amateur overseeing. I've seen similar major testings at Lockheed where my uncle used to supervise, the experiments (trials and testings) done for the government are simply mind boggling and always held under secrecy since no one else but one or two government agencies working with the department of defense will ever know or be able to do them. Just like how the internet was made. The equipment needed is usually not available to anyone other in the world apart from similar contracting companies. I guarantee you they have and are working on some cooling devices you have never heard of and many times never will.

Ah ok so they use tesla waves for cooling.

Lower fab node means a smaller manufacturing process i.e., 65nm to 45nm, or 45nm to 32nm, etc.
High-k allows lower power saving, larger leakage but higher frequnecies.
Low-k allows large power savings, much less leakage but lower frequnecies.

Metal Gates seem to be a good thing from all I've read, allowing both High speeds, and decreased leakage.

Lucky me does not rely on that type of knowledge to make living from.
Dont know if that was postet in the news section but this is a pic of a 32nm high-k waver ibm showed.

Are you sure about your efficiency? APFC will be higher than just PFC by circuit design limitations.

What did I say? I'll add a few imgages.




460W APFC (Zalman ZM460B-APS)


420W PPFC (XILENCE XP420)


Yuk, now I'm confused, thought the APFC one tricks my voltmeter and the efficiency mentioned by the manufracture is more reliable.
But both setups had the same load applied and they correlate very close in DC. So this Zalman PSU seems to be pretty good in terms of efficiency.

My 9500 is running on WCG for just over a day now at 2.42GHz CPU, near 2GHz NB/HT. No problems at all.

0743.

Ok I'll photochop mine, maybe that helps.
That might explain why my cpu needs more voltage.

I swear before it was on WCG I could not put the HT 1MHz above without freezes and delays for 2 days.
Now I moved it 10MHz up and down through AOD and it moved very fast (no clock generator delay - instant clock changes like with C2D).

This is just so confusing.

Indeed, most significant limit here seem to be the CPU voltage (<=1,45V). I layed down the voltage drop cpu-z shows if prime95 is running. Above 1,45 V it raises to 0,064V.

The Govt/Internet?

You mean Al Gore?

Can it be he meant he aided the development of the internet?

Toshiba joined the "alliance". This looks more like warfare against the wealthy giant.
