back to topic guys...the numbers can'T be right astroman! (I hope they are not...)
If a sharc under full load would really take 10watts, my new 36dsp 3 card system would use 360 watts, I also have 3 Uad cards which also use quite alot (compared to uad-2) then an overclocked core2duo graphics 9600gt and well, 2 hds ...
and all this with an almost stilent 450W high quality brand power supply...
I hope Im not surfing the edge here already. I occasionally had crashs with my 21dsp system before under full load, I hope my psu is not too weak...
but still cant believe a sharc takes 10W, that seems alot!! a uad-1 which has one chip gets waaay hotter than any of the sharc chips in idle as well as on full load! and it uses for the whole card only 15watts, AND has a passive cooling attached to it.
suppose one sharc (old ones on home project and pro) used really 10 watts it would literally get freaking hot, too hot imho! i guess 2-3 watts under full load is a more reasonable figure...
astro, where do you have remembered those numbers from?
