Nice. Might not want to post just the 64-bit version though. Changes from 1.56:

• Intel Xeon "Westmere-EX" support
• GPU frequency report on Intel Sandy Bridge processor
• AMD Zacate/Ontario processors support
• Report TDP on main page when available
• Cores clocks on floating menu
• P67/H67 stepping report

total domestic product?

I'm soooo excited, I'm speechless ;]

tldr: the mobo has a rated TDP... it has heatsinks/cooling solutions for a specific number... you might be able to put a CPU of a higher TDP than rated, but you run the risk of having the mobo burn out / short b/c of the heat buildup

most processors have a rated TDP... they generally use less than that TDP, for some overhead in overclocking/ turbo/boost mode

if you look at physics/chemistry, all of that electrical power is converted to noise and heat at the end of the day... TDP is essentially that relationship b/w the electrical power used by the CPU, and the amount of heat that can be dissipated by the motherboard thru heatsinks

About time they released the new version *on their website*. I had to find the beta 1.56.3 on some other website to get cpuz to work right on my 2500k.

I use CPUz all the time, but does anyone know if its reports of turbo are accurate? They don't always matchup with Intel's turbo sidebar widget.

I know that it isn't accurate if only some cores are busy and not others.

I normally use tmonitor for monitoring the frequencies and multipliers of individual cores.

Cool - I'll give that a try.

sorry I was being stupid, this was a joke all along...

The best part is the posted explanation was actually longer than the linked article.

It's like Christmas all over again.

I downloaded TMonitor and it says "Processor Not Supported"?

I have 2600K
