$54M was Operating Income, which is positive cash flow. Net Income was $510M, which is pretty damn good.

If you're talking about CPU voltages under load, then two things may contribute to what you are seeing. First off, if you have cool 'n quiet enabled, Your processor is switching between P-states depending on the load. Each of these P-states will have a different voltage setting, probably...

LGA really isn't any more durable than PGA, infact in a lot of ways it's less durable. For LGA, the pins are in the socket instead of on the CPU, and they're way more fragile. I'm pretty sure an LGA socket is much more expensive than a PGA socket, too.

HIS Radeon 4870 1GB - SOLD Retail packaging, comes with everything you see in the picture. Paypal only. Shipping to CONUS Heat

I'd go for the sale on the 5870 for $170

Those are some sweet thermal images. I just got to play with one of those cameras at work, and it was thoroughly entertaining.

Even if you mix AMD and Nvidia, it should default back to the windows drivers. You just need to uninstall and use a driver cleaner, and then install the correct drivers. Dan is correctly about the unified drivers within a brand though; if you're talking about two (current) nvidia cards, they...

6870 or 5850 would be in about the right ballpark. Do you mean cooler/quieter than the GTX280 (cuz just about any current card at that level is), or subjectively cool/quiet for something in that performance range?

It's all about the drivers, you just need to monitor to rotate to allow you to view it that way.

I'm one of the sorry suckers still at 1680x1050 Really want to get a larger monitor, but I'd only go for 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, which is either tough to find, or really expensive.

Go for whichever is cheaper, you won't notice the difference in performance.

isn't X58 only officially rated up to DDR3 1066? You'd definitely have to manually set the timings and voltages, or enable the XMP profile, to have the RAM run at it's specced speed and timings. *edit* Yep, even the 980X is officially only DDR3-1066: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47932

Probably not the CPU cache, but I guess one of the memory controllers on the CPU could be bad. Do you have another CPU to test with? I still think it's more likely to be an issue with the RAM though, make sure your memory settings in the BIOS are default, or even try relaxing them a bit.

9-9-9-27 @1600 is definitely faster than 9-9-9-25 @ 1333 (~same timings, faster clocks) You'd be hard-pressed to be able to tell the difference between a system running one versus the other, though, unless you were running a memory benchmark. It's almost pointless to get super low-latency...

Definitely go for the lower voltage ratings on DIMMs if you have a choice. It helps with both power usage and compatibility with newer CPUs, since the market is headed toward lower and lower DDR voltages. You might just be able to put a 1.5 or 1.35V DIMM into a next-gen platform.

Low density chips have higher bandwidth, yes, but that's why for high density they pack twice as many chips on a DIMM. You end up with the same bandwidth overall. There *might* be some advantages to using low-density DIMMs as far as current draw is concerned, but I doubt there's a measurable...

Well, you can't just "turn off" vdroop, that's for sure. You can turn off the BIOS features that help reduce it, that's not a very good idea though.

crazypc.com is having a going-out-of-business sale, and everything is currently 50% off. I'm not sure how much stock they have left, but I picked up a couple Gentle Typhoons for $6 a piece, although shipping was a bit steep.

There are so few noticable benefits from overclocked RAM that it's [H]ardly worth the trouble at all. I can't even tell the different between running my RAM at it's "rated" 7-7-7-20 @ 1333 vs the default 9-9-9-24 unless I run a RAM benchmark

AMD processors don't all use the same default voltage, it varies per-CPU. Yes many of them are at 1.35, but it can vary between ~1.325 - 1.4V

This should do the trick. You have a BE CPU, so beyond RAM timings and freq. it shouldn't affect your OC in any other way.

The X650 is an awesome PSU, might just be what I get for my new BD system when it's released. My current power supply is close to 4 or 5 years old at this point, but I bought a quality one, so it's lasted well.

You'd have to find another compatible laptop or some sort of charging station to charge that battery. Might be kinda tough to do, but it'd be cheaper than paying to have the mobo replaced

I'd definitely go for a C- or E-series Brazos (bobcat) netbook.

I've never seen win7 x64 having a problem recognizing all the RAM in the system. I'm not sure what 16GB over 8GB would buy you in your system though.

Those load temps look fine, I wouldn't worry about them What are your idle temps?

90/91/93% isopropyl alcohol is so cheap and works well enough, I don't know why you'd want or need to pay more for any other product.

The graphics in the xbox360 are still radeon x1900 level, I can't believe there isn't something closer than 2015 for a console upgrade.

The unlocked cores could very well product large amounts of current, which may be why they were disabled in the first place. I wouldn't pay too much attention to what HWmon thinks the TDP of the part is, but I would pay close attention to the temperatures you're getting at the voltage...

You would obviously know better than I, but that seems silly to me. Will servers never use APUs? Why not have one socket that supports both pure CPU and CPU + SIMDs. Seems like that would work well enough in the HPC world.

What he's saying is that a FPU-heavy benchmark will provide drastically different results than a int-heavy benchmark since there's 2x the number of int cores. as FPUs. You can still compare Interlagos to Xeon, but only as far as the FPU is concerned. In order to do and Int comparison you...

That's too bad :(
