    Lol for the non-fanboys. That's just a load of Intel fanboys by the looks of it, there's little real product comparison, just some slating of the opposite brand...

    I don't hold anything against either company, but when it's just rants against one or the other with no validation of their arguments, it's not even worth responding.

    Good stuff there Ryan. 4x4 I think shows quite a lot of promise, and there's also the added geek factor of having two CPUs/heatsinks in your PC!!! lol
    The first board happens to use an nVidia chipset in order to get the 64x PCI express functionality, hence it'll be an SLI board not Crossfire.

    To be quite honest, that's just four FX-64s, an old type of CPU with higher mhz. We know that the core 2 duo beats one FX-62 @ 3Ghz, so is it any surprise that a core 2 quad beats two of them? When AMD come out with a new processor design, then we'll see some changes. This result is far better than I expected for AMD.

    That just about proves my point. At the moment it's more an experiment than full product. When AMD finally make the move to 65nm and produce native quad cores, I'd imagine you could double the figures of the FX-74 with power consumption little in excess of the QX6700.

    @theone,Estuansis

    i'm using the stock heatsink/fan that came with the amd x2 4200+. i have a fan in the back of my case and one on the side. my cpu temp always shows 76 c and if it raise up to 80 c it shutdown. Thus it what worrys me.

    @ddp


    yes the heatsink is properly seated on the cpu and the cpu fan is spinning ok

    is there anything else that could cause my cpu temps to be this high?

    Have you tried restarting and going into the BIOS when you notice the temperatures getting very high? If the reading isn't similar in the BIOS, then the software is wrong. If it is, I'd try re-attaching the heatsink.
