Besides, it is just a Tag like crazyoldman. You don't think Crazyoldman is really crazy do you? ....AH AH my mistake. Forget I asked the question. That saying by the way comes from a Dilbert book. One of the guys on the Tom's hardware thread signed his posts with that. I think it is always good for a laugh.

Hi Ali Chen; Thanks for the posts on the power consumption of AMD and Intel processors, I was unaware that the power consumption figures were so close (i.e. 30%). That makes it pretty easy to figure out the respective difficulties in the cooling requirements: AMD Intel Tj 90 62 (Degrees C) Tamb 24 24 (i.e. 75 degrees F) -- -- Tdiff 66 38 Power 65 50 (Watts, my guess here, but ratio is 30%.) TR 1.01 .76 (Thermal resistance of heat sink.) In other words, the Intel machines require 25% better heat sinks. To get back to heat sink parity (and therefore, in some way, overclocking equality), Intel needs to get their Tj back to around 75 degrees C.) -- Carl
