[TPU] TIM is Behind Ivy Bridge Temperatures After All - Page 27

post #261 of 288
What are the average results here now? with or without the IHS.

Current draw generally hasn't increased.

Tri-gate transistors do not draw more current. They have higher drive current relative to leakage current. Total current in Ivy is less, every test where power consumption is shown confirms this (power consumption is lower on ivy than the difference between Ivy and Sandy voltages, so current draw needs to be lower too).

Will this affect laptops too?
post #264 of 288
^^ not really - these chips don't get ultra hot at stock - and very very few laptops will be overclocked

So, you wouldn't buy my FX-4170 if you wanted one because I've overclocked it? That voids the warranty too, you know.

What about if I sold you my laptop, which I had done a (nearly) foolproof install; a new HDD? Technically, the warranty is voided but it works fine and isn't likely to cause damage in the future.

Actually, no it doesn't, if it did then why would AMD have everything unlocked?

Why would *OEM Name here* put screws on their case if it voids the warranty to actually undo them? Same with PSU manufacturers.

Plus, why do Intel offer a special $20-$30 warranty just for overclocking on top of the normal (free with the chip) one when they offer unlocked chips? It also says right here: "DAMAGES CAUSED BY USE OF YOUR AMD OR ATI PROCESSOR OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATION OR IN EXCESS OF FACTORY SETTINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR AMD PRODUCT WARRANTY AND MAY NOT BE COVERED BY YOUR SYSTEM MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY."

Never, apart from a few select GPU manufacturers, has OCing been covered under the warranty.

I was talking about AMD CPUs, not GPUs. And remember a while ago when both Intel and AMD locked the settings for the CPU? rolleyes.gif Overclocking locked CPUs (where you can't change the multi, voltage or FSB) voids the warranty.
