Re: Core2Duo and Intel HSF

Um, the unit of power, watts (joule/sec), has no frequency component. The
units your calculation end up with are Farads*Volts^2*Hz. How does this
equate to watts(volt*amperes)? It doesn't. Maybe you had better read up on
some basic physics. Just because you quote something off the net doesn't
mean it's correct or right.

See the paragraph above Figure 2.1 -- Cl*Vdd**2*F

The author of this article, claims a problem fit with a certain
brand of LGA775 socket. I find the description hard to follow,
and perhaps you'll have more luck understanding this than I did.

And are you sure the voltage applied by Asus is correct ?
CMOS power is proportional to FCV**2 and power increases linearly
with frequency, but to the square of the voltage. When overclocking,
sometimes the extra voltage boosts power just as much as the
frequency jump. Are you applying the overclock manually, or
using one of those Asus "automatic" overclocks ? The automatic
overclock has been known to boost the voltage for itself.
