lol, it's funny.. But not needed

Aggressor Prime · Post by **Aggressor Prime** » June 12th, 2004, 4:05 am

I think it is needed considering a Prescott operates at 75C on a water cooling system.

75*c with a water cooled system.. that would put it well over 100*c with a standard HS/fan, wouldn't it?

monte84 · Post by **monte84** » June 12th, 2004, 2:56 pm

not at stock speed.i have heard of 70C temp at stock speeds and cooling.

In a room at about 78 degrees Fahrenheit, a Prescott would run at about 50-70C, depending on the work load. Your facts are bs, Aggressor Prime.

Oh yeah, and that's with standard HSF too.

Tebow2000 · Post by **Tebow2000** » June 12th, 2004, 5:25 pm

yeah, it isnt going to hit 100c with full work load.. Please tell me where you got this information

Aggressor Prime · Post by **Aggressor Prime** » June 12th, 2004, 10:09 pm

Oh, I'm sorry.
It was 77C in a water cooling system at full load.
Here is the proof.

That site leaves out a lot of information that just simply has to be there to be a ligitimate reference. For example, it is missing temperature of room. If this is a room in a house wihtout air conditioning in Columbia, for example, (which would be likely if this is a pro-amd site) that would explain it.

lol, and this probably is a false product not made by amd

Aggressor Prime · Post by **Aggressor Prime** » June 12th, 2004, 11:11 pm

No, the site is approved by Zalman. Zalman is the best quiet heatsink company.

You're backing up your argument with an opinion.

Zalman is the best quiet heatsink company.

one thing is for certain, it is running hotter than it should.

We want statistics

Aggressor Prime · Post by **Aggressor Prime** » June 12th, 2004, 11:21 pm

Any experienced Computer System Developer would know that.

monte84 · Post by **monte84** » June 12th, 2004, 11:27 pm

buy one and use and use retail heatsink fan, should be good enough for you there. Are you going to ague that it doesnt consume more power as well?

Tebow2000 · Post by **Tebow2000** » June 13th, 2004, 1:01 am

AP, you are not an experienced Computer Devoloper

monte84 · Post by **monte84** » June 13th, 2004, 1:52 am

you people are strange

Tebow2000 · Post by **Tebow2000** » June 13th, 2004, 2:09 am

No, we just have fun "taunting" with each other until we explode.... I find it a bit amusing, but this should change.. I am hoping the rules on this forum gets tightend and enforced more.

Experienced computer developers:
1. Build their own PCs.
2. Stay updated with Hardware.
3. Know that AMD is better than Intel.

Tebow2000 · Post by **Tebow2000** » June 13th, 2004, 2:31 am

I have done the first 2.. I would like to ask you take of the third opinion because I see that as an offending comment

Aggressor Prime · Post by **Aggressor Prime** » June 13th, 2004, 5:01 am

Well, the third comment shows that you can read facts, understand them, and admit them.

That pretty much includes me too.. with the exception I have built a dozen or so for friends

BUT that doesn't make me an Experienced Computer Developer !!! I'm not developing a darn thing. I'm using someone elses products and instructions to assemble something that someone else already figured out and developed.. get it?

Well, Developing is fulfilling something. You fulfill the start of the life cycle of the PC.

With the Zalman heatsink, full load hits 69...Once again, false information led by AP

Look at the second chart.
