You're welcome.

I suggested the Samsung as it's on special offer and I've used loads of them in PC builds without any problems.

They're all pretty similar at the end of the day so get whichever you're comfortable with.
 
There are many with low voltage htpcs that are far greener than your decidedly average 'green' system :p

That might be so but the way am building it is greener than many machines other men are building here.

But you're completely ignoring the fact that by building a powerful machine and overclocking it, you're having a negative impact on the environment! Your machine is green in a small way and 'ungreen' in a big way. You're being very selective.

:D

Your PC isn't green. No gaming PC is. 4.8GHz definitely isn't. You refuse to purchase Samsung products because of their lack of green credentials, but Samsung have the same green credentials as any of the other manufacturers. Did you know Samsung manufacture the greenest consumer grade memory currently on the market, or is that a convenient oversight?... :rolleyes:

Also, "I am so good!"... seriously?...

now that made me LOL
 
Rest assured fellows that I will not be oc'ing this past 4.5 ghz. That is a reasonable oc and respectable and will not draw much more power than standard clock speed of this cpu. Thus making my pc green.
 
Overclocking at all is not green relatively speaking, i think building a PC with the specs you're quoting is defeating the object of saving energy.
Stop trying to make out that you're "greener" than everyone else who's using the same kit as you.

Overclocking increases CPU power consumption dramatically (linearly with CPU speed and with the square of voltage, I believe). It's just about the least green thing you can do with your hardware.

I could have chosen 2600k or 2500k, which are cheaper but they draw more power.

I could have taken a 1200W psu like some here. There are not many people who are having same build as I do. Those that do are 'greener' than many.

What I am aiming at is to have relative 'green' PC in comparison to what is already on the market.

A goal which I believe to have achieved.

Those that have contributed towards it through valuable tips, I am very grateful for.
 
You do realise that PSU efficiency has a greater bearing on its green credentials than its maximum wattage, right?

It's a pretty funny thread though, by overclocking to 4+ Ghz you are making your machine no greener than a similar system running a 2500k at stock. :p
