AC isn't an option for me since it'll jack up my electricity bills maybe $1000 per year >.> It's hot 24/7/365 with avg of ~77f in winter months. Anyways, how much heat does a 45nm quad put out vs a 65nm dual? Q9550 has a TDP of 95W and X6800 is 75W, but what does this mean? What temperatures...
Web surfing + music + torrent + light programming + gaming @ 1920x1200 + occasional video encoding. A high-clocked dual core is sufficient for my current needs, but how much performance would I gain from a Q9550 when I move to Windows 7?
The X6800 is unlocked, but as myocardia mentioned, it's...
My CPU-Z validated system
Antec 300, Xigmatek 1263, MX-2.
This system is two years old. I'm using an engineering sample that a friend gifted to me. This week I wanted to overclock my processor just so I didn't feel so left behind after seeing how godly the E8400 E0s were.
The 1st...
Link to my screwy CPU temps
As you can see, these programs are all reporting different temperatures. My BIOS reports ~35c.
Core Temp - 62c, 62c
Speedfan - 47c, 48c
Intel TAT - 65c, 63c
BIOS - ~35c
Which is my Tjunction? Which measurement(s) should I be looking at?
I have a lapped X6800 and a fresh Xigmatek HDT S1283 in front of me. My CPU is flat as hell and my HS isn't. Placing a credit card flat against the base of the HS and in front of a lamp, I can see the littlest amounts of light peering through. I really want to lap it but don't want to end up...
My X6800 is revision B0 with stepping 4. I'm running it at stock 2.93Ghz. Temperatures in Hawaii are very hot right now. My ambient room temperature is 32-34c during the day. My CPU idles at 47-48C according to Speedfan, and 62-63C according to Core Temp 0.99. Temps climb up to 60C in...
Could you fine gentlemen and women list every heatsink that comes with its own backplate or is compatible with Thermalright's LGA775 Bolt Thru Kit?
Also a plus if you could provide an approximate retail cost and know if it will fit on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard.
Thank you very much!

I have a 8800gt 512 and a 24" Sceptre monitor. I'm planning to buy a 24-32" LCD HDTV 720p. What I want to do is to have my HDTV show the same image as what's on my monitor. I don't want to use a dual display setup to increase my real estate or resolution.
My questions are:
1. My...
I need opinions for this monitor Acer P Series P241WBD 24? http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...m/ccd/productDetail.do
Usage for this monitor will be 1/3 text work, 1/3 movie watching, and 1/3 gaming. What do you guys think of this monitor and is it worth it for this price?
I have a stock clocked X6800 and a Thermalright Ultra 90 with MX-2 + bolt thru kit. Ambient temp is 25C. Idle temp is ~42C and max temp is ~54C. Should my X6800 be running so hot when it's idle? It stays above 40C even when the stepping automatically goes down to 6.
