Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You can cool it if ya feel the need to as it does have an apu on it which would cause a slight .
Get some old P1 heatsinks or have a look at the TweakMonster ones.
Or just get a slot cooler
But it shouldnt make much of a difference really0 -

Why do you eejits laugh at alex?
It wasn't so long ago that graphics cards didn't have heatsinks, look at the VooDoo2.
Cpu's usen't have them either, 386s etc.
Same with northbridges.
As things get more advanced and with higher logic gate counts in smaller areas running at higher frequencies of course they're going to use (and therfore dissipate) more heat.
I'm surprised soundcards haven't had heatsinks yet considering the amount of processing they do when running at full whack.
If the chip is hot to the touch, and you can apply a passive heatsink (socket7) fairly easily, why not do it?
Some high-end scsi disk drives have small fans underneath to help cool it (though I suspect it's more the mechanism then anything else)
Will you laugh when 100GBit network cards have a small HSF buzzing away?
This is a growing problem with current technology, whichis escalated by companies throwing higher clock frequencies at the problem than concentrating on better, more efficient, more powerful processing architectures.
64-bit and SMP-on-Chip are two to look out for in the near future, eg. Dual-core opterons.
Look at the Alpha CPUs and Cray machines.
bloody eejits. :shakeshead:0 -
