<<The cooler was the size of your head>> Then it's much worse than I imagined .. I do have a large head <<Seriously, you are missing the point. Do you think anyone really notices, much less needs, the last 10% or 20% of a modern CPU?>> This "modern CPU" you refer to ... The Peenom "BLACK EDITION" is SUPPOSED to be overclockable, isn't it? That was the typical AMD hype .... to get the AMD****s "excited" (as Hector would have phrased it)? Overclockable, tweakable, for "enthusiasts" ? It barely manages to overclock 10% .... WITH the help of a cooler as big as my head! (<"I decided to call it good at 2.5GHz, and I took my official screenshot at that speed as incontrovertible proof of the clock frequency I'd achieved. >") Think on it.
