AMD Sempron 140 31w at Idle in Windows 7

AMD Sempron 140 Sargas 2.7GHz – Low Power WHS Review (In a BOX)

Although I am a big Intel CPU fan right now, I do run AMD systems also. Case and point, this weekend I bought an AMD Phenom II x4 955 + USB 3.0 and SATA 3 motherboard, and I built an AMD Sempron 140 based Windows Home Server (WHS). I decided to do a few benchmarks so that I could compare the Sempron 140 Sargas against the Intel i3-530 and i5-650. I did run into one problem, I didn’t have a spare case lying around, so I made one out of a Corsair Dominator GT (DDR3 1600 C7)  box. Yes, this is a WHS in a cardboard box.
