I need Kobe Tai to come over and bite my tongue.

i wont trust the inquirer and yes it will use ddr2 but at least there are some nice memories running low latencies and they said they will start with 667

you have to remember when intel move from northwood to prescott they changed the process and they cpu well get hotter and clock for clock the northwood were better.

i dont know if the next core revision from intel is going to be better or if the amd revision or new socket is going to be better the only thing in know is right now amd solution is far better than any intel solution except for mobile market.

the dual core race is just begining and i think the firs step is for amd a lower consuption cpu cooler and better

lol, im sorry to say dude, but WoW and FFXI put my cpu under more stress than prime or PI, or any other stress test things ive found, seriously, no program has been able to heat up my cpu so much as to get it so i cant touch my heatsink, and final fantasy has, and YES my fan was running, and ALOT of people play games such as WoW and FFXI and HL2 and whatnot so really, they DO put their comps under stress


btw, it took me an hour and a can of compressed air to get the heatsink cool enuff for me to remove it

Games dont stress your cpu more then complex mathematics. They stress your motherboard, ram and graphics more. My guess is that dell will have a complex heatpipe structure with a large fan (possibly more than one) to cool these things. But that's just a guess.

:::edit:::

They DEFINITELY changed the fan on it, I'm not sure about the cooler entirely, but definitely the fan!

Dell uses all Intel Top-end chips, what they don't use is Intel's Stock Heatsink/Fan.. Last time i looked into a friend's Dell XPC(Dell's Gaming Computers w/ Intel high-end chips), It was using this huge Aluminum finned block with 120mm fan.

EDIT: No btx cooler was used so this thread is kinda pointelss now u know.

I just checked on that to see what funny stuff was going on and guess what the pic showed trance?

:rofl:

Seriously... noticed they cleared the "last week" run time chart for the AMD system so it no longer shows the nice long run it had before they restarted things :stick:

NO BTX HEATSINKS WERE USED !!!


P4 BTX cooler

BTX coolers at Intel

Compare to: Coolers at THG test, NOT BTX.

Get your facts straight !!

Is Intel hiring people to fill forums with lies ?
It sure looks like it.

Pentium D is catching up on lame encoder seemingly

thanks for clearing that :)

Clearing what up? Wasnt the point being that it doesnt have a shroud as you would see in a BTX system? I am confused now.

Actual coolers are much different, just take a closer look.

Coolers at THG test.

actually loe, yesthey are, they are in clear acrylic cases, read up on the hardware used XD
i mean seriously, look at the blue led fans, u think they are just hanging there?

neither of those are actually true BTX coolers if you want to be technical.

A true BTX style cooler would be designed to take advantage of the wind tunnel effect... those just block it. Completely useless really.

Who brought in this BTX cooler confusion..Ofcourse they are not using any BTX coolers here. Both HSF's are normal/ATX/Block coolers.

EDIT: Gmorning Munich :)

its hard to tell if cases are closed or not, they really shoulda used blue acrylic

You guys reading the comments over there? Dang fugger too is an Intel fan hates AMD.

I don't understand Intel fanboyism anyone remember 1990-1998??? I do! If AMD collapses, Intel would immedately go back to it's good old days of 1990-1998 of $500-$1200 CPUs, nothing for the budget shopper. Maybe you're a millionaire, I don't know but I like high levels of cheapness so I can spend my money on a house payment and other appreciating assets..not the grandchampion of depreciation : the computer.

I just built my sis a screaming (for her she's a shrink for the state uses MS word thats about it) system with a $42 1800Mhz duron and $51 NF2 IGP board with GF4MX graphics on-board. Set bus to 166 on default core = 2250Mhz...Thanks AMD:)

AMD good for intel fans too because it lowers thier prices.. You can get some really sweet chips in the $150-$200 range (2.8-3.2 p4's) thanks to AMD competition.

lol, has anyone read the more info thing, lol its got a few pages on the .... troublesomeness of the intel cpu
