Why Ivy Bridge Processor Overheating When "Forced"?

The new processor series "Ivy Bridge" made by Intel called the release of excess heat that is not fair, so different from 20 degrees Celsius, while over-clocked (forced beyond its original capacity).

This was revealed by PC Watch is a test of the latest processors from Intel.

In addition, they also managed to find the cause of the excessive heat, which is likely to come from the material of heat (thermal paste) is used in the processor.

As quoted from Geek.com, Intel put on a type of pasta of heat for sticking with the core processor chip heat spreader (heat spreader) on it. This technique is intended to expand the surface so that the heat release process can be optimized.

However, because it has low conductivity, conductive paste is actually inhibiting the release of heat.

Intel processors earlier series, "Sandy Bridge" chip connected to the heat spreader through a fluxless solder has a higher than pasta konduktvitas of heat.

Differences in the type of material is suspected to cause the difference in temperature to 20 degrees Celsius between the two series when the processor is forced to work beyond the limits with overclocking techniques.

When the pasta of heat Ivy Bridge trying to be replaced with higher quality conductive paste, the tech site PC Watch reported a decline in temperatures between 18-23 percent.

However, the high temperature Ivy Bridge will only appear if forced to run much faster processors through overclocking techniques. In normal conditions for everyday use, the heat Ivy Bridge does not exceed safe limits.

"Ivy Bridge" is the latest processor series from microchip giant Intel. One of the processors are included in this series is the Core i7-3770K.

"Ivy Bridge" is made with 22 nanometer fabrication process and have higher performance than its predecessor.

Smaller fabrication process enables Intel to plant 1.4 billion transistors on a processor core Ivy Bridge measuring only 160 mm square.

Leica camera prototype is the most expensive camera in the world

Leica camera prototype made ​​in 1923 sold for 2.16 million euros, or about USD 25.8 billion, at an auction in Vienna, Austria.

Leica only make 25 units of Series 0, which later developed into Series A compact camera that uses 35mm film.

Sales value to make this camera a camera in the world's most expensive.

Auction in Austria on Saturday (12/5) starting price of 300,000 euros, and organizers expect this camera will sell in the range of 600 000 euro.

But when the auction ends, worth about 1.8 million euros. Taxes and other costs to make the winning bidder, who did not reveal his true identity, had to pay 2.16 million euros to get this classic camera.

The high price of Leica cameras showed that the higher interest of classic cameras.

The highest price for the Leica 0 series is 1.32 million euros. Whereas in 2007, it costs only 336 000 euros.

Hollywood inspiration

Leica was founded in 1849, known as the company's and microscope lenses.

One of the engineers, Oskar Barnack, who work in the microscope, loves photography and has long wanted a compact camera.

When the size is very large and heavy cameras.

He designed a compact camera using 35mm film which is widely used to make a Hollywood movie.

Barnack make a tiny camera on the 1908-1923 and many shots from this period that still survive today.

His boss welcomed this idea and then decided to make the Leica camera unit 25 Series 0, as well as to gauge market reaction.

Series 0 received a mixed reception, but the Leica to take risks and produce 1,000 units A Leica in 1925.

The market welcomed the Serie A in 1932 and Leica to produce no less than 90,000 units of this series.

Story of a floating city, Blueseed

Blueseed is a floating city which is located in international waters, not far from Silicon Valley, California United States. But do not mistaken this is a small island inhabited by people.

Blueseed plan will be a cruise ship or barge is overhauled. In it will be well provided accommodation space living room, work space to entertainment facilities.

Users who want to experience the facility to pay around 1200-3000 U.S. dollars per month. But this place is only a capacity of up to 1,000 people with a crew of about 200-300 people.

Floating city project was founded by Max Marty and Dario Mutabdzija and is led by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Blueseed will be placed in international waters, 12 miles from the coast of California.

"This ship can also be enjoyed by the entrepreneur or startup outside the U.S. and able to work in the near Silicon Valley, without the need for U.S. work visas," said Peter.

Apparently, a barge that doubles as a yacht like this is also in demand at least more than 100 international technology companies. In research released by Blueseed, approximately 20.3 percent came from the U.S., 10.5 percent from 6 percent from India and Australia.

Just for the record, the companies that now inhabit Silicon Valley, among others are Adobe Systems, Apple Computer, Cisco Systems, eBay, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Yahoo!.

Blueseed will be launched officially in the third quarter of 2013.

Taiwanese vendors are developing green laptop called Ecobook with laptop cover from bamboo and recycled plastic materials to use in it. Coated cardboard computer component that is not painted or sprayed.

Another example is Samsung which makes the smartphone Samsung Blue Earth. Overall the phone is using a plastic material such as plastic bottle material. On the back, there are solar panels for battery charging.

Ikea itself has launched an environmentally friendly technology program since last year. Previously, Ikea has released a solar project for one of its stores in California. This panel is claimed to provide the same amount of energy for 64 homes a year.
