Power draw is suprisingly low though (1.5vcore for 3.5 on the 920 results in 135W draw, the 940 needs 1.46V for 3.6 and draws 141W)

I have a new 965 (2009 week 35) that will prime away at 3.8 on stock volts (1.41V), yet it sucks down 201W doing that. Kind of scary on the GD70's 4 phase PWM. I guess the new "high performance" transistors really wouldn't work well on those athlons, which are aimed more at running cool and sipping power than overclocking.
I am no longer concerned with the MSI gd 70's PWM after running prime on TWKR ( AKA LEKR ) at 4.2, I think they might have just had a bad batch of fets. You really don't want to know what the killawatt was saying I was pulling
