45W Quads

Posted 09-15-09 at 10:00 PM by sLowEnd

Whenever there is a thread about Athlon II X4's, I keep seeing people whine about how they want a 45W TDP quad from AMD.

...Come on now. Be reasonable.

Athlon II's are still based off K10.5 no matter how you look at it.

Last I checked, K10.5 isn't as energy efficient as Core 2, yet there are still no 45W TDP C2Q's even now.

Sidepanel

I've never run my computer under full load without the sidepanel until just now.

Wowzers. My case's airflow is terrible because under full load with the sidepanel on, it gets rather loud since the CPU fan speeds up and the temps shoot from 30c idle to 44c load

With the sidepanel off, 28c idle 34c load



P.S. I hate IDE cables

I have learned several things today

Anyway...I learned a few things today.

1)Don't mess with expensive parts...stick to cheap disposable parts for maximum pleasure

2)OCZ Freeze is freakin dry. I'll stick to AS5 for ease of spread.

3)Small cases suck

4)Rosewill's...

Solitaire

Posted 10-13-08 at 04:17 PM by sLowEnd

Y'know how people joke about solitaire being the only game a slow computer can play without lagging right?

I was at my cousin's yesterday. Me being bored, I checked out what games he had. Chess Titans...Freecell...Minesweeper...Solitaire!

I picked solitaire.

It lagged. Well, actually, everything lagged. He was running Vista Ultimate on a computer with

Athlon 3800+
