I'm going to be building a core i7 system soon and I'd like to buy a decent motherboard with low power consumption. The motherboard doesn't have to have lots of bells & whistles, and I won't be doing much (if any) overclocking, so all I'm interested in is an energy efficient motherboard that is well built. I'm particularly interested in idle power consumption, though it would be good to ...

I'm thinking about buying a Sapphire 100228L Radeon HD 3850 - It's a GPU for older PC's that use an AGP slot: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… I've got an Emachines T4697 (with two open AGP slots) and I was wondering that (if I were to buy this card) would I need some additional form of a power supply? I've read the reviews and they seem to mention a few things, but don't ...

Hi, i wanna buy a Graphic Card,that is GTX-260... But i not clear about it's power consumption and i heard someone say need 630w,some say 500w and others... So if i using Gigabyte Odin GT-550w,enough to pump xfx gtx-260?? Thx This post has been edited by QQHTJ : Yesterday, 06:05 PM

I remember getting like over 3000 fps when I started the Witcher up. (Don't worry I'm not playing that game anymore) Anyway the card was screaming until it got into the menu. Then the loud noise was gone and it dropped from it's over 3000 fps to 800 - 900 fps. So can limiting the fps to something lower than what your card can actually do save on power? If so, how much in terms of how ...

Hi, I have a question regarding the new Ion2 GPU platform . Does this differs in power consumption as compare to other processors. If yes then post some relevant explanation on the same. Also I need some features and technical spec about the GPU type. Here the GPU is more finely engraved (40nm cons 55nm) but the number of shaders is doubled (32 against 16). What I had noticed that if ...

I wonder if "the" is required before "power," i.e., "...in the power consumption," in the following sentence. "This machine incorporates energy-saving parts that ensure a great reduction in power consumption." The energy-saving parts reduces the power consumption of this machine. When I think of this, I feel that "the" is required but I am not confident. I would like to have ...

Hi all. I found, that HD5750 has lower power consumption in idle ( Clock info 01 ) than HD4770, thanks to lower GPU and DDR5 memory frequencies. HD4770 - GPU :250 MHz \ DDR5 : 800 MHz HD5750 - GPU :157 MHz \ DDR5 : 300 MHz I tried to lower DDR5 frequency to 400 MHz in RBE, then flashed to graphics card, but there are white vertical stripes in ...

Is there a link or document where we can find info regarding power consumption for various optiplex machines (620 740, 745)? Specifically we would like to know what the active and standby power draw is for these systems. I realize hardware configs can drastically alter these, but i'd like to get an average so we can attempt to quantify our power mgmt efforts. Thanks Warren

^ I think that PSU should be ok. 52A on a single rail should be able to feed it. As long as the rest of your system isn't crazy power hungry with tons of drives. You can use the molex to pci-e adapters. I would split the 6 pins and use one on each and then an adapter on each. It might be a good ideal to use molex connectors that are on a separate segment than your other devices as well. Just in ...

If you planning to get a ION2 based GPU then I will recommend you to get a 600W Power Supply for safe and stable power to your computer. The gpu consumes power and it is necessary for the stability. In my opinions that it should work better, ION2 will be further enhanced in the performance of the GPU. Ion2 built on latest technology offers you a much better platform for 3D applications and ...

I would tend to avoid the phrase ensure a great reduction . If you want to emphasize the change , use a verb that means change. Also, energy-saving is just redundant, when you are talking about saving energy. I would talk about the new design or new parts. I would say "This machine incorporates parts/a new design that reduces power consumption XX%". This is more direct, and it allows you to...
