x2 3800 energy efficient version?

[El Jimben]

I just noticed in coretemp that the TDP for my chip shows as 65 Watts, is this the so called 'energy efficient' version?

Answered my own question I think!

Thought the energy efficient version is only available on AM2??

 

[thefishdude]

think the energy efficient version uses something like 35watts

Google tells me 89W for the standard, 65W for the energy efficient version, this is 939 I'm talking about, not AM2.

Dunno about the 939 ones, but AM2 has two variants on Energy Efficient -one @ 65w TDP and one @ 35w TDP.....I have a 65w version in my MCE rig, and it certainly runs cool and with low volts (BIOS sets Auto @ 1.2v)
