Athlon Wattage?

[camieabz]

What is the maximum power an Athlon 1.4GHz (266) standard requires?

I have all my other numbers, so I need this one for a PSU decision.

Nominal 65 watts. Maximum 75 watts. Overclocked, don't know.

Information according to <A HREF="http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm" target="_new">http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm</A>.

Would you like a Quarter Pounder?
No, thank you. Just give me the BIG heatsink. It's an Athlon.

enermax?

Many thanks.

Excellent link that. I notice the Max case temp for this CPU is 95C. I reckon I'll aim for half to two thirds that then.

Hmmm. Don't know. My buyer is very money orientated, so I'm trying to keep the prices of his parts down.

I hve 152W with my system + 75W for the CPU = 227W.

Now I'm sure someone said keep to under 70% of the PSU max output. So to do this I would need 325W, so I reckon I'll go for 350.

Hmmm. I saw a generic case and PSU for £64. A 400W one at that. I wonder if it will be any good? It might be good for future add ons.

Did you see Tom's review about generic cases and power supplies?

yep. and my sisters fiance had a generic Cogen.
1 month of operation = "whats that burnt smell?" = new enermax 430W whisper = now happy

Yeah, for my next upgrade, I'd like to get high quality parts for a change. No more of that generic rubbish for me.
Ahh who am I kidding, I can't afford any of it.
