    Ah and that is where you are mistaken. If you lived in a hot climate like say central florida where it is not unheard of to have 30-35c* ambient temps, heat is a HUGE deal.

    My old intel Q9300 box used to heat my room up into the 90*F range and made my gaming experience absolutely unbearable. I had to redirect the central AC of the house to my room and open the door and add box fans to keep myself cool enough to not be miserable.

    Deneb having a much more manageable heat load is the main reason I am going to it (note I have the money to go i7 but chose not to) With i7 having 80c*+ load temps it is absolutely out of the question for me to purchase unless I get a window mounted AC unit (also out of the question).
