Hi Michael,
No, the MCH is 21.3 watts and the ICH is 4.3 watts. Add them to get the overall chipset power consumption. With the new Nehalem architecture, the MCH is integrated on the CPU, but in this case, you have discrete IC's. Thanks for your question.
so I would have to estimate ~ 25,6 watts for the whole Intel S3210SHLC platform, correct?
thank you.
For the MCH and ICH chips, yes. For the entire platform, you have to consider the other components power draw, but I'm sure you know that.
yes I was talking just about the respective mainboard.
thanks for your help
