Power Supply requirements

Now, mao na ni akong dilemma, I know that kaya ra sa PSU ang atom ion mobo w/cpu but how about the board that will use the 65W intel cpu?

TDP man siguro ning 65W. Can you give an example sa 65W nga processor nga imong giganahan? TDP is the maximum heat that the processor will produce measured in watts that must be dispersed by the cooling solution. Power consumption is usually somewhat higher than its rated TDP.

Oo, TDP na siya... I am eying on E6500 or E6600 kay gamay ra deperensya sa lower speeds nga same class.

TDP isn't about power consumption but heat dissipation. Its the amount of heat the processor will generate when operated on its specifications. So when its listed as 65W TDP, this has nothing to do with power consumption. To answer your question though, the E6xxx series are somewhat inefficient already when compared to the newer ones on 45nm manufacturing technology -- get the E7xxx series kay mao ni nipuli ani nila. As for the power requirement, 300W would do. I've seen Dell computers running quad processors using 300W of power with on-board video basta ba true-rated imong power supply. Don't take my word for it, though kay check pa nako ang power requirements sa GF9300 ug GF9400.

edit:

here's a reference para ma solidify imong dilemma regarding the power requirements. it may not be the same motherboard but the chipset and processor is somewhat the same. that and this is a micro-atx board.

Asus P5N7A-VM: Geforce 9300 IGP | silentpcreview.com
GF9300-I-E power consumption at 1.60 GHz exceeds at 2.13 GHz - Z-SPOT - It's Time to Play - ZOTAC

Spoiler! 

E7200 + GF9300 + 2.5" hard drive pulls less than 70W from the wall
E7500 + GF9300 = 2.93 GHz 70 watts

3.5 inch hard drives may have bigger power requirements but i'm sure it wouldn't eat the remaining watts supplied by a 300W PSU.

yes sir... wala man sad nagsulti about power consumption na ang 65W. It only says nga ang motherboard is only compatible with cpus nga 65W sa specs. E6500 is 45nm.

Naa sad ko nabasahan nga 3.5" 500GB HDD that consumes only 4.8W on idle and 8.2W max on use.

Thanks kaayo bai poldo...
I'll just get the mobo with 9300...
