Need suggestion 4 LOW POWER CONSUMPTION gaming pc build

[butitoy]

---

you should also check out AMD's APU for your budget gaming pc you can try A8 3850 or A8 3870K. On the A8 3870K, you can play around overclocking withyour CPU if you are an enthusiast. This procie is more affordable compare to the ivy bridge i3 counterpart. This APU must be paired to an FM1 socket: a55 or a75. I recommend gigabyte and biostar brands (based on the benchmark I have read). Similar to i3 ivy bridge (dual core with hyperthreading), it has the video controller built in on the CPU (that's why they call it APU=cpu+gpu) but, it has quad core cpu if you should need to deal multithreaded sessions aside from gaming on your pc. The price and the power consumption should be lower than that of what intel has to offer.

a newbie..really?

anyways, welcome to istorya.net!


A8 3850 @ 100W?
Newegg.com - AMD A8-3850 Llano 2.9GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6550D AD3850WNGXBOX

how is it becomes a power saver compared to intel i3 @ 65W.?

Overclocking

Overclocking the A8-3850 is very difficult, at least with the motherboard we had available (Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H). This is because all clocks on the system (integrated memory controller, PCI Express lanes, SATA ports, graphics controller, memory, etc.) are tied to the CPU base clock. The default CPU base clock is 100 MHz, and the maximum we could go was only 107 MHz, making the CPU run internally at 3.1 GHz. Above that, the system would crash or would stop recognizing the hard drive. We believe that other motherboard models may allow the configuration of each separate clock, as we got reports from other editors of being able to increase the base clock up to 133 MHz, and some even above that. So, if you are into overclocking, you should carefully pick the motherboard to go with your AMD A-Series CPU.

Conclusions

There is good news and bad news about the new A-Series CPU from AMD we reviewed, the A8-3850.

The good news is that its integrated graphics controller is simply the best integrated solution we’ve seen so far. It was way faster than the Core i3-2100’s and, on Lost Planet 2, it was even faster than a GeForce GT 430, making us suspect that it is optimized for DirectX 11 games. It was also faster than a GeForce GT 430 for applications that use the GPU for processing (GPGPU), such as converting video files using Media Espresso.

Also on the good side, applications that perform better with four “real” cores will perform better on the A8-3850 than on the Core i3-2100, which has only two “real” cores and two “simulated” ones, using Hyper-Threading technology.

The bad news is that, aside from gaming and 3D rendering, the Core i3-2100 is faster and, depending on the application, by a large margin.

So, if you are a gamer on a really tight budget, the new A8-3850 is a really nice option. < if u will just use integrated GPU. > buying a discreet VC defeats the purpose!

But if you are an average user who won’t play games, the Core i3-2100 is a better option.

But if you are a user who plays games on discreet Video Card ,the Core i3-2100 is a WAY better option.



now, how about u post ur link?

for me murag maka save man gurow ka if mg a8 3850 imung procie.. kay kung mg intel ka (i3 2100) 65w ang consumption, unya mg 7770 w/c consume 80w.. so ang consumption lang daan nimu sa gpu ug cpu is 145watts! unlike kung mg a8 3850 ka 100 watts ray consumo...

a8 : 100w * 6 hrs (estimate playing hrs)=0.6kwh times 5.87 php (veco rate for kwh generation charge)= 3.52php per day times 30= 105.6 php imung electric bill sa cpu monthly, wala pa labot mga misc fee sa veco..

intel i3+7770 : 65+80=145w *6 h=.87kwh times 5.87 php (veco rate for kwh generation charge)= 5.1php per day times 30= 153.2 php imung electric bill sa cpu monthly, wala pa labot mga misc fee sa veco

parehas ta ts, pang dota 2 ra akung setup.. imba kaau ang a8 3870k, sahay duwa pd ko ug c0d 3..hehe

^^^There are 'gamers' who consider Angry Birds as grown-up man's game and there are those who consider Black Ops as a faggot's game.. Depends on what kind of 'self-professed gamer' you are..

2100 (with igpu) @ full load= 65w
2100 (without using igpu)@ full load = 35-40w + HD7750 43w = 83w

Now you can forget about VECO and all the kiddie games your neighbor plays at the lanshops...

^^ 55 watts man nang 7750 bai hehe

[keropi]

55w my @ss.. And that's PEAK, not TYPICAL, not AVERAGE

Anybody who games on a built-in video is a sissy..

@keropi
kanang g.suggest nimu nga 2100 (with igpu), playable na sa games nga g.demand sa ts bro

Dili. Not even on an A8-3870, or an i7 with an HD 6570. TS was mistaken when he said batman is not a heavy game.. it is after all a PHYSX game..

[battle axe]

pa ot lang ha: unsa diay ning maximum ug typical board power?

unsay naka sissy sa mga ng igpu??

@ts naay upcoming trinity this month.. mas kusog pa sa mga llano

dili man diay.. nganu suggest man ka ana?hehe

kasuway kag rig nga a8? para makaingon kag dili playable?
