Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
That's funny. I thought the different forums were so discussions would go in the right place. I didn't realize you can't actually debate the merits of an Intel chip on the Intel board. Good spin or nothing I guess?
There's also a difference between attacking AMD and attacking the people...
Sure they do. If people hold off on buying AMD because they hear the Conroe is so much better, that's good for Intel. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying their claims are false at all.
You aren't seriously saying that just because an Intel employee says it's fast, it will be, are you?
The first 2 orders I placed with them went fine. The third never showed up, and after 3 or 4 phone calls and 6 emails I never got my order. Never again.
A 15% restocking fee is pretty standard, though.
We don't know that. We know it's faster clock for clock in one test. Even if it's a fairly large difference, that doesn't mean it's faster overall.
Yeah, but by exactly how much? Intel says 30%. In what?
Again, all we know is what Intel tells us. We should have a 3.33 Conroe by...
No, it doesn't. It just shows, well, that there's more heat in the loop. Could be from the block, could be from the CPU.
Good luck getting equal flow from two different rigs, by the way. :p
I don't think you grasp the concept at all, especially since you're just talking about measuring the water temperature alone.
If my CPU block does a better job at transfering heat from the CPU to the water than yours does, what good is it knowing the temperature of the water?
I'm a whatever-gets-me-the-best-performance-for-my-budget guy. Which has been AMD for far too long. I haven't had an Intel since my Celeron 300A. I wouldn't mind seeing AMD stay dominant for a while, just to bring a bit more parity to the OEM sector, but I also wouldn't mind seeing an Intel...
Cars use more antifreeze because the liquid runs at more extreme temperatures. We don't have to worry about that, so it's better to stay with as high a percentage of water as possible, since it has better thermal transfer properties than anti-freeze does.
Personally, I use pure distilled...
Note this includes software VPN connections as well. Neither Sonicwall nor Cisco VPN's work on my XP64 install. Nor does my Blackberry.
You have to format your primary partition when you install XP64 for some reason, but you can go back and install XP32 on top of XP64, provided of course...
