thermal watts question

[OCrookie]

i was wondering how i could find what thermal output of my processor is i'm sure there is a mathmatic formula for this but dont know where to look

for the q6600 look here

here probably

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLACR

or maybe here depending on type

http://processorfinder.intel.com/DetailsPr...spx?sSpec=SL9UM

but for all others you can get any intel product info by searching the cpu type at intel.com

the intel processor finder is awesome, your processor is either 105W(B3) or 95W(G0) thermal wattage.

Run CPU-Z and find out which stepping you are running.

Given that he asked for a "mathematic formula", I assumed the Intel rated TDPs might not really be very helpful.

 

If the Intel spec is NOT what you're looking for, you're in for a real treat. I imagine any decent power dissipation formula is probably going to require a lot more variables than you have access to. Either that, or it will be very idealistic and very inaccurate. Besides, even if you could calculate it, I'm not sure how much good it will do given that there's really not much comparison data out there since not many people would do this

 

If it were me, I'd probably just take the Intel spec (95/105W) and assume linear thermal output growth with clock speeds to calculate the heat on an overclock. It wouldn't be perfect, but I doubt you'll realistically do much better.

 

For example:

Your G0 Q6600 at stock is rated at 95W.

Your 3.6Ghz OC is 150% of stock.

So 95W * 150% = 142.5W

I'm running a 142.5W thermal output processor I guess lol. Which reminds me, why do they call the Phenom II X4 940 a 140W processor, i heard those processors run ridiculously cold. Is it just warning you to plan on getting up to atleast 140W of thermal output?

Your G0 Q6600 at stock is rated at 95W.

Your 3.6Ghz OC is 150% of stock.

So 95W * 150% = 142.5W

You want to scale by voltage as well. Increasing your vcore scales your power consumption quite drastically.

 

This is the closest calculator I know of: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

 

You can plug in your CPU, clock speed, and vcore.

that's pretty neat, I got 205W for my CPU and this was my total result. It seems I could not have picked a better PSU wattage :thumbs-up:

Keep in mind that is a *very* optimistic calculator for the whole thing. You probably don't pull much over 400 watts with your rig at full load. My rig doesn't even break 500 watts and my video card is far more power-hungry than yours.

I know but i'm still I'm within their very "tight" standards. i used my kill-a-watt power meter which included my computer, monitor (about 92 watts in itself), printer, two harddrives external, speaker system, and cordless phone. While folding, all that pulled about 520 watts so i know my system probably pulls around 400 or less watts if you factor in the roughly 82% efficiency backwards

I think this is what he wanted to know...

 

Thermal Design*(OC Clock/Stock Clock)*((OC Vcore*OC Vcore)/(Stock Vcore*Stock Vcore))

 

So on the 920 i7 it would give you something like this...

 

130*(3330/2660)*((1.12*1.12)/(1.06*1.06))=183.12 Watts of heat produced

This calculator was within 15 watts of what my system pulls with 2 4870x2s under 100% load. Calculator 948, my measurement 936. Pretty close if I must say so myself.

You guys could try the following to know the wattage a OC'd cpu...
