Reynoso,

Both AMD and Intel specify the type of heat sink and fan assembly that is required for their products - and generally furnish these with their boxed processors. These take care of the details of controlling junction temperature in most instances assuming the fan assemblies in the PC power supplies provide appropriate heat removal from the PC chassis - which they generally due.

Are you suggesting that AMD could advertise that Athlon runs at 1.4GHz, because Kryotech has generated an engineering solution which keeps the junction temperature within range?

85C is a standard test temperature, and solutions which involve higher frequencies and lower temperatures are generally considered to be overclocking.

Hi reynoso; Re AMD and Intel fast CPUs running at 90 and 62 (or 60) degrees C, Tj, respectively...

Try losing your airconditioning, (in Reynoso) and see which processor breaks first.

P.S. What I really miss about the desert is the airflow from a good swamp (i.e. evaporative) cooler. Preferably a rooftop model hooked to blow directly into the room, and situated under a shade tree so it doesn't start with blistering hot air. Those things are sweet.
