Do the e-cores help with power usage to a significant level when the machine is experiencing light loads, idle, to web use? The latest anandtech 13900k & 13600k reviews talked about peak power, what about everything in-between? With energy prices as they are these peak power figures don't...

Hi guys, I've currently got a friends PC as it was plagued with a whole host of issues and eventually got to a stage were it was in desperate need of some testing and starting from scratch. I've never used ATI products. The motherboard is an Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe I'm used to grabbing...

Thanks guys i'll look into that. The problem is a bit to random to clearly say if something fixed the isue or not yet. It was super slow yesterday, so instead of 'running as admin' i logged into the admin account and it seemed to run perfectly all day, and then I ran it quickly logged in...

Thanks guys, Yep, i'm running this plugged in - i think this might actually be game related issue. I'm gonna see how things go for a little bit trying a few things. This is my first laptop experiance with a Nvidia card - I went to look for drivers on the nvidia site and failed to find...

No, I uninstalled the junk that i didnt require, I presumed that using the partion for a 'reinstall' would only put back the junk... and with alot of ranting about these partions failing to reinstall I didnt feel like bothering. Someone mentioned to me about disabling quick fetch or smarth...

Hmm, well like I said this isnt a beast, the prices bounce up far to much for good hardware - or the prices are ok, but the screen size / laptop brand fails to impress. The issue is, I think I almost get a better overall gaming experiance out of an old IBM T41 which I just use as a general...

Hi guys, I'd like to pick at your brains... I've got a new laptop, a HP DV7-1000ea C2D P7350 4GB/320GB More info here... Overall I'm really happy with this, its a great bit of kit... For the price I think it fits in the market great, as I was looking for a laptop with a large screen...

Is this a no load situation? Do they sync closer under load?

Same results with that cooler here maybe its not very flat?

You dont say what you want from your rig... Artic cooling freezer pro seems to be a good hit. Great price too. Dont skimp on the psu though.

Great thanks! I suppose, its relatively safe to say if I went for a dual today... and I feel like the cpu is holding me back, I would be able to upgrade to whatever quads are on offer, say.. late 2009... and probably todays dual prices. Although out of my reach today, Dropping in... say a...

Thats cool, Again thanks alot fo the comments. I'm amazed how useless DDR3 is!! I thought it was mainly a reason to avoid based on pirce... not based on its sheer lack of performance gain. Ok, I know you said P5Q Pro, But i'd take the Deluxe over it any day for the optical sound. But...

Sorry DSF didnt mean ti ignore the Motherboard feature comment. P5Q Deluxe Vs P5Q Likes (deluxe) 16 phase VRM Stack cool 2. Heat pipe HD Audio + optical Not needed, cross fire. Deluxe vs Maximus II CPU level up - sounds cool and easy!! not sure how well it works! Pin Fin X-Fi...

Honestly, I enjoy what your both saying, it makes a refreshing change than how X processor has 50mhz more and is sooooo much better, anything other than X is rubbish! For the sake of my stubbornness, and reluctance to do upgrades, could you entertain me from your current line of thought...

Hey DSF, Yep, I totally agree with your comment on the Nehalem ? I was just saying how the discovery of this threw a huge curve ball at any plan of even attempting ?future proof? I find your comments to DDR3 very interesting. You don?t think that 1 year from now I could gain an advantage...
