Hi
I'm looking to build on black Friday. I keep my PC a very very long time between
upgrades. (if the games still run ok why spend money?)
Initially i was looking at a 3470s tdp 65 Watts. But i plan to keep this thing so long
that power consumption is a factor. Despite the same tdp the identically clocked 4570s
being Haswell, is said to use much less power especially at idle or so i have read.... My
wife does home work on the PC for much more time than i game so this is a big deal to me.
My question is first do i have all that correct?
second, the s model CPU hits that tdp merely by lower clocking right? But the turbo is
the same... How does that work? Wouldn't when the CPU is at turbo be when it would make
the most heat..... then again tdp is typical thermal output not max right?
Forth, i hear the s models, while having the same turbo speed, are much quicker to throw
on the brakes when the chip heats up. True?
If true then would having a quality hsf be enough to make it equal to a non s CPU or no?
Oh most important, i read that its the ACPI power states that dictate when/if turbo is
used.... Do all games send that command to hit S0 or.... How does that work?
Thanks for the help.i used to be a total computer guy but it took every free minute of my
life to keep up with it all and it got too tedious so i quit. So now i need to come to
you guts for help! I bet every last one of you can read far quicker than i can!
