    CPU power usage Chart?Guide

    I would appreciate any link or information on where to find a comparison chart for Processor's power usage and temperature. From Northwood to Kensfield, and AMD's too. Thank you

    Can anybody explain the following? I just changed the case. I am temporarily using a POW-Max a buddy of mine lent me. Heatsink and cooling fan are the same, MoBo is the same. Software and hardware are the same. Nevertheless. the CPU has been idling for over 1 hour at 48C. I played BF2 for 30...

    Cooler Master WaveMaster

    Thank you for somewhat confirming that there is a cooling issue with this case; even with AMD Athlon Processor. Before the Thermalright I had a Thermaltake Silent LGA775 heatsink installed. I did use Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste in both installations with the same result. However, when I...

    Cooler Master WaveMaster

    This is a Word of Advice to whomever is building a new sytem. This case is a very sharp looking case. However there is a flaw in its design. It does not meet the Intel recommended specifications for P4 LGA775 socket processors. The reason: there is not enough air flow that would allow cooling...

    System failure

    The CPU idles at 65 C, and after load reaches 69/70 C. I am going to be changing the heatsink unit for a Thermalrigh XP-90C. I will keep posted hopefully by Saturday.

    System failure

    Yes, I still have the problem. Further research and input from readers indicates that it may be a high CPU temperature issue. The CPU is idleing at 65 C I will be changing the heatsink I have on right now, Thermaltake Silent 775, for a Thermalright XP-90C. I will keep posted about the...

    System failure

    I do not dispute the fact that the Mobo is solid. I agree with that. That is the reason I bought it; but there is a problem that needs to be fixed. Look at this posting in Asus forums Posting by Jackson Posting by Robin

    System failure

    I am using a Thermaltake Silent 775. The average temperature I am getting is 65 C or about 150 F. The temperature is constant.

    System failure

    I have a big problem, and I suspect I am not the only one. I built a system based on a P5AD2-E Premium Asus motherboard. It functions great as long as it is not used for gaming - I play BF2. That is when the system crashes and I get the notification ?System failure due to CPU overclocking? My...

    Newbie Requesting Assistance

    Hi, I have decided to build my own rig after years of buying off-the-shelf systems. I am stuck on deciding what video card to get. I have narrowed it down to a Nvidia, either 6600GT or 6800GT. The system that I have put together so far has: Mobo: Asus P5AD2-E Premium (PCI-Ex16, non SLI)...
