Re: "The fact that a piece of silicon can run one application at room temperature (probably with the voltage jacked up) is a far cry from the silicon being 100% functional on all software at 85 degrees centigrade."

Scumbria, a room temp device probably IS 85 Deg C case temp. The term simply means no unusual cooling devices. You know that. These last couple of days are the first time I have ever seen you desperate. It doesn't look good on you.

Thanks for the explanation.

We now know how AMD pulled off their 1.1 GHz ThumperTurd demonstrations.

Your insight into the AMD demo shenanigans was really helpful.
