RE: What VID are you using to get Vcore of 0.75V (and host @140)? Noticed that with EIST off, VID can go lower! nt

Can you measure overall power consumption using your fluke on main 12V supply to P24 & P4 (i.e. use one PSU).


Just to be absolutely clear, the figure below refers to the Gigabyte G21 MoBo.

When playing flac-format music data without upsampling with the CPU clock at 140MHz, VID at 0.75000, PSU at precisely 12v, EIST off, 512 MB Kingston "ValueRAM" and a "Full Monty" cMP2 setup, the motherboard and CPU typically draw about 1630 ma.

Allowing for dissipation in the "pico-PSU", call it 1600 ma or about 19 watts. Last time I measured this, it came out slightly higher (see cics's earlier request for this measurement). I don't think I've tweaked anything significant in the meantime but, as the first measurement was taken with a different meter on its 10 amp scale, I'd tend to put more faith in this one.

BTW, after a tedious to-and-fro session, it's clear that my setup at least sounds better with EIST OFF. Who'd have believed it mattered?

That'll do me for current measurement for a while - it seems oddly emotive for such a humdrum topic.

Best
