Hello all. I'm looking to set up a private google buzz / twitter-like server for private use by my friends and I. I don't want anything fancy, just a way for a few friends to share links, post pictures, etc that we have full control over. The internet it written in ink and as a professional...
Hello all,
Does anyone know of a nice black aluminum ATX HTPC case which will fit a Thermalright Shaman? I'd really like to stick to all 140mm fans.
I was looking at the Lian Li PC-C60B but unfortunately it looks like it's not tall enough.
Thanks,
Jason
My mistake, I found an article that shows the idle power:

Having said that, I guess there's not much there to save. I thought I consumed much more. Thanks for the help.
I'm running a GTX 580 at the moment.
According to this:

It uses 173 Watts at idle. That's insane.
It doesn't necessarily need to switch between video cards per say. I'm mostly interested in saving power when I'm not playing games but still having a good video card to play games with.
Is there a way to dynamically undervolt/underclock the discrete video card when just web surfing, etc? It...
Hello all.
Is it possible to dynamically switch between the Intel Integrated graphics on sandy/ivy bridge chips and a discrete gpu to save energy?
It seems crazy that I have a GPU that uses 100W at idle when 90% of the time I could get by with just the integrated. (The 10% being gaming.)...
I think I'm going to take my chances and go with the 3770T but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Has anyone had any luck finding any for sale at the normal price?
I'm looking to lower power use as in use less total power (KWH). Ideally, I'd be using 30W or less idle and 77W at 100% load.
I can use an appropriately sized heatsink for the full TDP.
It confuses the heck out of me though. Why would you ever want the CPU running at a frequency greater than...
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Is there really any reason to not do this? Why not always set the non-turbo to a low clock speed like 1.6GHz with a 3.5GHz turbo?
When in turbo mode, only difference between the two is 200MHz (3.7GHz vs 3.9GHz).
I may be misunderstanding the way turbo works, but it seems like it would be better to run at 2.5GHz all the time like the 3770T does and only go to 3.7GHz when under high CPU load. What's the advantage to...
Hello all. Does anyone know if there's any point to getting the 3770K vs the 3770T?
I was thinking I'd like to set up the processor with a very low non-turbo clock speed and a high turbo clock speed, kind of like what the 3770T does. Does it pay to get the 'T' or can this same thing be...
Thanks everyone for the input.
Instead of underclocking the i7 920 for the server, maybe I'll build a new home server on the cheap. For simple media streaming, audiogalaxy server, etc. will one of those Mini ITX Atom boards work well? Anything CPU intensive I could do on my i7 920 machine...
Hello all. I was looking to put together a low power home server. I have a core i7 920 machine I was thinking of using for this purpose.
Is underclocking the processor a viable option to reduce power consumption? If so, to what degree can you reduce it before things stop working?
I'd...
