John "Traveler", you got everything backward (or half-ward).

<how about a software crash? If you do not
design your system to handle the maximum power...>
That was exactly the point for "maximum power"
specifications, have you read the message?
I design of systems that do conform to AMD
power specifications, and I gave you references
to those guidelines. The question was "is it
ice-cold or not". Your buddy woodworker still
did not get it that under normal conditions
the chip is really cold, and to get it worm
you need to sign a NDA with AMD to get that
specific routine that can heat it up. Do you
have this routine to check board design, John?

<Intel spec is just way too conservative.>
Really? Have you ever read them, Jonny?
Does Intel have a test to exercise the worst
power conditions? I bet they even don't know
those conditions - same situations as with their
CPU bugs... That is why they may want to impose
too conservative requirements: they do not know
them. Ha. Any idiot can request a design with
"dozen sigma to cover their ass" as you managed
to say, and there is nothing to be proud of.

<There are better ways to measure temperature than using
your finger, Ali. For a few hundred dollars, you can get a
hand-held infrared read-gun. The temperature reading is very
accurate for this application.>
You screw up all again, John. It was P.Engel who
does measurements with a finger upon power-up.
As far as IR gun concerned, you forgot to propose
a way to drill a hole in those heat sinks (and fans)
to make the CPU surface visible.

P.S. Please do not bother me with your suggestions.
