However, AMD chips run so friggin hot that we had to get extra fans and extra large power supplies to get them to not crash. I am paying for 2 rack spaces instead of 1 because they require massive heat sinks. I am no longer purchasing AMD's for servers, and I am doing Intels for all the other machines because they run a LOT colder.

Anyone else see the tom's hardware video of what happens to AMD's when you pull off the heat sinks?
got a link to the video?
