Without a doubt AMD is the better CPU. A buddy of mine works at Intel in Chandler,Arizona and he told me they have AMD awareness meetings regularly. They must really be concerned with AMD. They should!

Toms hardware = propaganda by "the man" lol

toms hardware is very biased IMO. always leans towards intel and nvidia, no matter what. if AMD bring a chip out that trounces Intel he gives it a fair review then at the end it will say something like "but i would wait a month as then the intel X comes out and it will jump all over this AMD offering"

why never "welll this intel chip is good, but i would wait till next month and AMD will bring their new monster out to teach intel a lesson"

its biased, bought off, or something decidedly fishy.

AMD, as always, this is my first amd chip, and I'm very pleased with it. I'm sure my next chip will also be a AMD, as for performance and price....

This is what I notice:

People that build their own machines seem to go with AMD, the only people I seem to know with Intel bought them a ready made config. Again, just my observation and opinion, lol!

i've used both but i have to say that i like ,my amd's that i have, although i use intels and i have to say they work good but they are just way to expensive amd is much better for the price. although i have had bad luck with the older amd chips but the new ones are good.

how likely is it that a heatsink would fall off? and only an id*** would take the heatsink off while the pc is still on.
i think amd are putting a form of cpu throttling in there next generation CPU aswell but im not 100% sure.
btw the cpu diode failed to tell the motherboard its time to shutdown because they dont take readings often enough it may have shut off and survived if the option in the mobo was set to switch off at a certain temprature. but i wouldnt expect it to work every time and i definetly wouldnt expect toms hardware to have done that they enjoy there PR work for intel to much.

and what if the fan dies? you'll see smoke coming out of your PC before you realise and it would be too late to turn it off.

Amd and intel are fairly comparable nowadays....
i have gone with intel since day one, and i have been happy with everyone....
i admit amd has definatly got somthing going for them, but i dont think they have total compatibility with all hardware and software on the market, nor do i like the incresed tempature of the amd flavor...

i have changed the fan on my heatsink while my pc has been on

the temp only rised about 5c.
if the fan dies the temprature would rise alot slower than if u pulled the heatsink off. it wouldnt go straight to a temp that could melt the cpu so if u have your motherboards bios set right u should get warning beeps around 50c that your cpu has gone above the limit u set then around 60c your motherboard should do its job and shutdown.
check your bios settings then try it :rolleyes:
