haha ya we dun understand the language also... I also have one duron chip that crack on the chip also Sad case la... thank goodness the chip only less than RM 200. If not i will die man
that piece of 1800+ just won't boot at 1533mhz coz default voltage became 1.1v, i also dunno why anyway, get it RMA two week ago
i wonder why some of the cpu in the picture burn eventhough hs is attach propely ?? like this one : and this one : anyone know why ??[/url]
bad packaging... that's all to it. But AMD have improved over time.. it's now rarer to see these problems happening
Some sort of heat spreader like Intel P4? I seriously hate those. Although it protects the core, but the heat transfer is poorer, bad for overclocking.
I still think direct contact with the core is better the more "layers" of cooling u have, the "air gap" between the layers is bigger. What do you feel when someone slides in a piece of alu/copper/silver or whatever la (but not peltier harrr ) between your core and your heatsink? Anyway, I still prefer to have a heat spreader. can protect my core I think ATI's core protection design for their r300/r350 chip is very nice the shim lets you have direct contact and protect the core
I don't think there's anything which is resistance free. Even the best heat conductor, silver I think, has a little resistance. Actually the 4 feets on the Athlon acts like the core protector on ATI, but a lot less effective of course! The heat spreader doesn't really help to cool down the processor, it will only spread the heat faster, but without a heatsink on it, it's useless.
