Intel: for all your rolling blackout needs.

(if anyone lives in the southwest around here u'll get that joke)

Go the PC wizzards at Tom's 'Its running at 90 degrees lads, and it keeps crashing, is it too hot do we think?' 'No, cant be, its only two prescotts on one die!'

Did anyone notice that voltage was lowered when cpu went under load?

[MaxxxRacer]

ya. that was commented on a while ago.. apparently some think that the THG guys lowered the voltage in the bios below stock levels. but this is just conjecture. it could be the mobo misreading the voltage.

[Hans.Gruber]

Looks like Intel has open system case, Intel has no reading for system temps..
So Intel is missing case temp and CPU temp dropped 20 C, i just wonder...

[setyotomo]

muahahahahhah this the best thread i have ever read since the discovery of UTT!!

it's even better!!

EDIT: subscribed off course!!

[wfarid]

... thats a pic of the intel system btw, kinda hard to tell from all the smoke... Looks like the majic smoke is coming out from the p4 system.

[MaxxxRacer]

ya it was a joke wfarid... but give intel 2 years and it wont be a joke.

[trance565]

lol, anyone notice how about an hour to 2 hours ago the intel reboot was at 4, and now its back at 1, i swear, my frend lives 150 miles away from there, ima get him to go shoot them a holes for rigging everything they do

[MaxxxRacer]

what !! they changed it again.. this is nuts.. let me go check

no it says 3 reboots on my end here... try refresshing the page.


and even if they did. violence is not that answer.. sending this to the INQ and posting it on our front page IS the asnwer.. Saaya is working on that now.. and ill send the article to the INQ when its done.. trust me when i say half the computing world will know what a fraud THG is.

[trance565]

yet again they run divx on the amd system for a few seconds, and it gets 10 minutes so fast, they get scared and exit, ya it jus popped back up to 3

oh ya, just so u guys know, i think the drop in temp is cuz they started pumping more volts into the cpu fan, lol, its now running at more than 1500 rpm

[Hans.Gruber]

They certainly did add some volts.. More volts to P4 fan.

There is update at tomshardware in german, but that 3rd update soon probably is in english too.

[wfarid]

wow that changed everything how many times, and intel restarted on all setups. While AMD has YET to reboot... Wow, i mean i knew intel was bad, but i never thought it was THIS bad. Respect goes out to AMD...

[Zebo]

Read the german site...Dudes.. what havnt they swaped on this system..

-6 motherboards
-2 HSFs
-2 memories
-2 PSUs

I'm telling the problem resides with the core. Maybe they should just get another X2 so they can complete the test

[setyotomo]

Taking all bets on what the final config and recorded number of reboots will be!

AMD :
config :
>> current config, 1 vid card to "even" the Intel's
>> reboots : 0

Intel :
>>config : 7th Asus Mobo , fried PSU , Fried CPU, current Ram , fried Vid card.
>> reboots : 0

WTF the intel killed all of them, or did they replace it because it wasn't functioning "alright"?
But intel should fix this really soon, or they will get serious problems in the future.
Does one of you know btw weather or not the intel has throtled back ? If it did then this are really serious problems
Well.... I like the AMD more so, I don't really care

[Ref]

Lol, intel is now only at 70°C

[Ailleur]

Isnt anyone wondering why in the hell cant that guy setup a pc correctly. If intel computers burst into flames 3 times in a day in real life, dell would be out of business. I think this "test" has goten way too much press and seems to be done by people who could crash a toaster oven.

[DilTech]

This is their Pentium D 840EE, a chip known to run that hot. One, that as far as I know, is not offered by Dell, as they tend to not use intel's top end chips... These temps ARE the same as every other reviewer showed, and actually a bit lower, as most said they had an IDLE of 60C!

:::edit:::

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

Oh, really?

[trance565]

idle 60 = 5-6C more than load on amd hahaha

[Hans.Gruber]

Don't blame THG, others have had problems too.

http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/...re/1513_3.html

I must say in all fairness to AMD that the board they sent to us as their platform representative was much more user friendly than Intel's 955 board that gave us nothing but a hard time right out of the gate.
We spent a week of our time just getting the board to even recognize their own damn CPU, which was more than a mere headache as it sent us back on our schedule by days and wasted many precious man hours just fiddling with the board.[/b]

There are others, but very few have balls to say that Intel sucks (they might piss off sponsors).

[Ailleur]

Well then, lets rejoice that theyre getting the hell away from netburst before long.
I still fail to see how this is 12 pages worthy. Nobody reads THG unless its to laugh at them, and not many more people will run out to buy a high end pentium D.

i want to see this in the front page just funny
