So i bought this GA-770TA-UD3 since i needed a mobo with only one pciex16 slot and didn't want to pay like 30% more for higher end mobos with crossfire support which i will never use. What bothers me is that all gigabyte mobos without crossfire come with naked mosfets.
I have now phenomII x4 945(95w version) overclocked to @3750 1.44v with cool&quite active( didnt touch cpu multi when ocing). Since C&Q is active when system is idling or just browsing web, mosfets are barely warm, but on full load they are ofcourse hurt to touch.
So would it be safe for mobo to leave cpu at 1.44v considering that cpu is 98w at full load and mobo supports up to 140w. At idle cpu drops to 26w 1.04v being 25c temp, on full load cpu is 48c cooled by Zalman CNPS10X-Performa.
