Yes this is with a 212 plus.
It doesnt really get very hot (like 62degrees celcius max (prime95)) or loud, and like I said performance seems fine, so Im happy.
I use it for dolphin and it does that really well.
I had a Phenom II x4 965 that I oced before, and the differnce between them in...
I bought a G3258, and I wanna say your not alone.
The highest stable OC I could get mine was 4ghz.
Thats at a around 1.26v. (might be giveing it more than it needs, but if I lower it, Id get crashes, so I think it needs it)
Thats with a MSI H81M-P33 Motherboard. I havnt flashed its bios or...
AMD is makeing the next Nintendo consol, XB1/PS4/WiiU are still selling.
AMD + Mediatek for tablet/smartphones (could be big).
AMD scored a contract for facebook semi-custom server chips (could be big).
I think there was something about the chinese wanting some semi custom chips too?
Then...
A guy cant even make a thread asking for advice without green team vs red team.
(notice how fast someone was to just say get a 980 :P)
Id listen to Snafuh, seems to be in the know about the topic at hand.
Id also like to point out that the OP made no mention of 5k.
He made one about wanting...
My laptop has a i7-4700mq in it.
Dynamic CPU voltage offset is at -116 mV.
Processor voltage offset is also at -116 mV. (ratio slightly lowered).
So my CPU at:
idle @ 0.56v (800mhz)
load @ 0.93v (3.1ghz) (4cores stresstest in XTU)
For fun:
"Haswell-DT" (22 nm) Die size = 177mm^2 (1.4B transistors)
the igpu part is like ~33% of the chip.
remove that (the intel igp) and you get ~119mm^2 for the cpu part only.
Nvidia 750ti (28 nm) is 148mm^2.
Now imagine what happends to that 750ti,
once you shrink it to intels 22nm...
1) Motherboards wont shoot up in price to much, other than cost of the added HCM ram.
2) "..pin count will rocket up." Why? What makes HCM any differnt than the current DDR3 ram we use? why would pin count explode if the ram is on the motherboard?
3) "air cooling is out of the question". Why...
Only if you dont believe in the "good enough" for x task, stuff people claim.
Like how cpus are fast enough for any daily task for the mainstream user, so building big 200watt cpus isnt needed, thus intel went perf/watt instead.
at some point, unless eye-candy in games accelerates at a unheard...
If you enjoy emulation then the haswell cpu upgrade is well worth it.
Basically for emulation, cpu-performance wise (dolphin/pcsx2/mame ect)
3.4ghz haswell = 4.4 ghz Ivy bridge = 4.6 ghz sandy bridge.
3.5ghz haswell = 4.6 ghz Ivy bridge = 4.8 ghz sandy bridge.
I think its funny a small...
For alot of these cards its around 105c.
However I dont recammend you keep it running at above 90c.
Being around 80 degree celcius is fine.
If its overclocked you can try and lower your overclock abit.
If its not overclocked, or only just a tiny bit, you can try undervolting it.
(best not to...
Why not do both at once?
Go with a cheaper CPU instead of a ~200$+ one, and put in a new GPU for the saved cash from getting a cheaper CPU.
Something like:
Intel Core i3-4130 Haswell (dual core, hyperthreading, 3.4ghz, 54w) ~110$
+
Nvidia Geforce 750 ~120$ (less power usage)
or
AMD 260x...
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
^ released year 2005 (about 10years old cpu), uses max 66watts.
i5-3450
^ released year 2012 (about 2years old cpu), uses max 77watts.
The i5-3450 should get just as "hot" as the Athlon 64 X2 4200+, if its maxed out on a work load.
Make sure your pc kabinet is...
