    Can i5-6200U be underclocked?

    I guess 400 Mhz is more than enough :D. I thought the minimum is 800, since that's what is listed in Intel's Ark. They say: "Configurable TDP-down Frequency 800 MHz" @LTK8K6: so then how does it reach 7.5W? Just by idling? Perhaps undervolting? I'm missing a piece here I think :).

    Can i5-6200U be underclocked?

    I know that they're throttling down. The question was if I can make it throttle down FURTHER, by underclocking / undervolting :).

    Can i5-6200U be underclocked?

    Hey :). I know this CPU can be undervolted, but can it also be underclocked? What's the minimum frequency when sitting at idle?

    Anybody know much about Egreat Media Players?

    Yeah, time. The person can't wait. Anyway, I found out that these brands are basically some Chinese venture which has some offshore marketing office in Romania which handles manuals and advertisement and such. So you can safely ignore my question now :D. In any case, I went for egreat after...

    Anybody know much about Egreat Media Players?

    Egreat seems like a rather shady brand name if you ask me. But I have a limited selection for purchase, since this is for somebody in Romania. It's either this egreat with 750 Mhz Realtek: http://www.w2comp.com/detail.asp?catid=51479&Pdtid=589087 Or this one with 500 Mhz Realtek. PNI seems...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    Got it some two weeks ago. It's awesome ::- D. I can't say more than that because I haven't run benchmarks or stuff. It handles anything I throw at it at 1920 x 1200 max details and that's what I wanted ::- D. What I can say is that indeed I got the 8 + 8 pin variant and it's one big card...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation guys! Yeap, I went ahead and ordered the 8+8. I won't be doing much overclocking, mind you, but the advantage is having a good, stable card with rather silent operation. Big THANK YOU to everybody.

    What is the difference between Sapphire 7950 *FLEX OC* Boost and *VAPOR X* Boost

    Great answers guys, both of ya. Thank you! I ordered the Vapor X.

    What is the difference between Sapphire 7950 *FLEX OC* Boost and *VAPOR X* Boost

    SO far, I see that the clock speed of Flex OC is 860 to 925, but the VaporX is 950. Then how come the Flex OC is more expensive? The Flex OC with Boost...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    MTDEW: Hi, thanks for jumping in. Yes, I understand it is a switch, but it's cumbersome to open the case to *switch* it ::- D. The Vapor-X with Boost I linked has a clock rated at 950 MHz. So you're saying that I can actually force it to stay at 950 *constantly*, right? Provided I have good...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    Unfortunately, the BIOS button is *inside* the case (at least I don't see it in the back of the video card in any of the pictures). I can't go opening my case every time I want to play a game. One more question guys: can you actually *prevent* the Boost feature from being used? What if I...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    lehtv: thanks for posting the links and prices man :D. Why would you recommend the 8+8 pin but not the other? VRM stuff I suppose? As I wrote in my initial post: I am very skeptical about "Boost" cards because of that graphic in the AnandTech review. And later I wrote that "I don't like how...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    Rikard: So what you're saying, is that if I use Sapphire's stuff, voltage control works, right? lehtv & Shmee: what about this card? This is the one I'm tempted to get (see Specifikationer tab)...

    Would you buy Radeon 7950 Boost or Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X?

    Shmee: and which is the one with the best cooler? :D. It appears to me that the VaporX has a pretty decent one, or am I wrong? Rikard: maybe they "fixed" it with the new drivers (considering there is something to fix - and I *DO* consider that there is something to fix => just look at the chart...
