AMD Cleaning Intel's Clocks Desktop: KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" OS: SuSE 10 OSS GM 64bit

Once upon a Wed, 07 Dec 2005 02:04:17 +0000 dreary, as I laboured tired & weary, came a tapping at my door when Aragorn posted this, & nothing more...

When SuSE 9.0 came out with the 64bit linux version in Oct 2003, I updated the mobo & hardware on one machine to run it. I changed my second machine over from x86-32bit to 64bit hardware about 3-4 months ago, & ATM I'm using AMD Athlon 64bit 3200+ (2GHz) 754pin on here with an MSI K8N Neo3 (MS-7135) mobo with "Cool 'n Quiet" technology, & a Coolermaster KK8-7152A-A1 heatsink.

"AMD Athlon 64 Cool'n'Quiet Driver Version 1.50.03 Linux - AMD Athlon 64 Cool'n'Quiet Driver Version 1.50.03 for Linux 2.6 series kernels. Provides support for AMD Cool'n'Quiet technology for Linux systems. Adds support for 2.6.10 and later kernels."

This effectively lowers the power consumption and enables a quieter-running system while still delivering performance (so they say!). In AMD's words: " AMD and its partners have worked together to implement Cool'n'Quiet technology as a system feature that consists of: a processor with Cool'n'Quiet technology enabled, motherboard, supporting BIOS, software driver and CPU cooler." A check on it temperature shows it running at a steady 28C, whereas the maximum critical temp is quoted as 65-70C...so I'm well within limits.

My original AMD-64bit machine (that I had with SuSE 9.0 64bit installed) is now used as a 'standby' & testbed...though I may (probably will) update it's hardware at somepoint.

Which is one reason that I've always preferred them.

True, but in some BIOS's you can set an alarm to trigger if the temp gets too high.

Hmm....I've never had any problems with that. The only problem I did have with any hardware, was with an Acer burner which didn't like the setup, for some reason. I changed it for an Asus, & no problems since.

That would be a Good Thing(tm). :-)

Yes, I suppose it does.

Now you mention it, I do recall reading something like that. A google search will find it for me. :-)
