INTEL`S BIG MOUTH · DIGIT-ARC

M

HI guys!I have got intel 3 ghz pro with ht tech.I thought it was the fastest pro around in that range (8-9)k .But i got to know true colours of intel.It heats up very easily ,changed 2 cabinets 4 that.I think AMD is better than intel especially the ATHLON 3200+ and above range.What u all think?

i think u have got the prescott, they heated too much, else both AMD and Intel heat up almost the same.

C

Yes the Presscot versions produce lot of heat....nowadays the processors of AMD have become very cool and will not produce so much heat as intel.

well i have had the prescott 3.0ghz for the last 6 months now. and its not the fastest intel at the moment. Yes it is prone to over heating and a good cabinet is very essential for that very reason. Also, upgrade to xp service pack 2 , there is also a gllitch in the software that shows us the heating factor..............

I have the intel 2.8 HT and it also heats up a lot.

S

I got a 2.4 HT northwood with no heating issues only prescotts give you this problem..........

I got a 2.8 HT overheating changed the cabinet to intel preferred cabinet,that with a funnel like thing on side.two exhaust fans.but showing temp
in normal @52 to maximim 68c. :cry:

there must be some problem with your processor.
you better replace it, if it's still under warranty.
i have the same 3GHz processor but my first one used to heat up a lot which i later replaced with the current one which is working fine for about 4 months now.

even i also got it replaced twice.

but it's something todo with airflow. :roll:
