hmm. all i know is a keyboard begins to melt at 300 degrees.

You sound like Nelly :1orglaugh

he's the white nelly of gfy

ahahahaha i was just thinking the same thing.

so take off all your clothes...

LMAO

You should put a mouse in the oven too.

Read the manual and see what the max temp is. Usually it's around 70-90 degrees celcius though for AMD chips.

lane, u are a geek to the bone hehe =)

Does anybody even know what the hell Nelly's talking about? Kills more than Jason? Got a girl in the basement with a phone or something like that...

Nelly sucks, it's all marketing. He's not a hip hop artist he's a pop artist. His music is geared towards wiggers..

Depends I know I run a 1.1 amd chip and it usually runs at 150.

my AMD XP 2000+ runs at 120F

interestingly enough my GeForce 4 Ti4400 runs at 140F

Heh. Part of your problem may be that you are mostly talking about X86 chips. Yet another opportunity to point out how superior Macs are. ;) For instance, Apple has released a number of machines in the last couple of years without fans. Including laptops. Now, where can I find a utility to check my CPU temp.. Hmm. I do remember that I had an overclocked G3 back in the day, and it got up to 104 once...

just because it runs cooler makes it better? :)

Cooler = more efficient design
Cooler = less energy = cheaper
Cooler = better for laptops
Cooler = clock speed not over-done to help marketing

Thats because x86 chips are twice as fast :thumbsup

Yep. X86 chips do indeed run at about twice the frequency.

And?

Just letting you know why they run hotter more transistors packed tightly together make more heat. Didnt want to turn this into a pc vs mac thread just giving you the reason why newer chips run so hot.
