  • Nothing more than having a go at AMD.

    Sad.

  • nice music where did ya get it

  • why dosent the amd athlon set on FIRE!?

  • this is why I choose intel

  • The Pentium III looks like the Coppermine variant, and would definitely rise over 38C, even though its less powerfull

    As for the Pentium 4, dont make me laugh!!! 29C and it slows down??? It gets higher than that even when the heat sink is on!!!!

    AMD should probably put some sort of overheat protection in, not just let it start smoking like that! And even when the thermal diode fails, it should immediately shut it off or throttle the speeds!

  • @DrunkGoatt to be honest i dont know. lol

  • @robotninjaassasin as you can see thermometer shows 29°C - it's normal operating temperature for any cpu(intel specs for willamette min/max: 5/72°C). so why the app slows down?

  • @DrunkGoatt its a wilamette p4 which is not suppose to run hot

  • Music: Project X - Allister Brimble - Main Theme

    You're welcome.

  • Let's see this with a Prescott P4. Those melted motherboards with a heatsink installed.
