Not to be stupid...

I just can't put into contex how small a 65 nm transistor is... I mean its not like I could pry off the IHS and put it under a microscope and repair these things with a needle or something right??

No, you can't touch 'em unless you have a FIB (focused ion beam).

You need a fricken beam ??? 8O The only reason I ask this cause is I want to pry apart the proc in my sig and see why it never goes below 54 degrees C..... its irritatin me! lol

 

[Pygmollion]

I just now read the wiki link...

"Unlike an electron microscope, the FIB is inherently destructive to the specimen"......

I didn't want to destroy it! I just wanted to fiddle wif it lololol

Thanks for the link

Yeah, actually I think that poking around a CPU's innards with a needle tip which is several dozen times larger than the transistor itself could be quite useful in finding out why it overheats. Much more effective than upgrading your HSF and properly applying thermal paste. :roll:

 

[CaptRobertApril]

:lol: id imagine theres a whole lot you adore fiddling with :lol:

I've got this vision of Hector in the Tunisian desert with a lupe in one hand and a soldering iron in the other doing some last minute rewiring of the Barcy before the demo... :lol:

 

[CaptRobertApril]

...and Hector saying "when I saw the travel brochures, I thought it would be just like Vegas!" :lol:

Upgraded to an after market HSF.... DIDIT... Reapplying AS5 about 7 times... my last application should be PERFECT DIDIT... DIDIT DIDIT DIDIT DIDIT all... Its just Thouroughbred B I suppose *shrugs*

The smallpox virus is about 4 times bigger then a 65nm transistor.

......I just had a revelation... I think its my Raidmax case....I might not be extricating the heat fast enough...... DOH!

 

[blunc]

I can discern them 65nm thingies if there's a whole bunch in one spot.

So theres no chance of me inhaling an errant stray transistor from my 130 nm Thunderbird?? )

I bought this case in like............ 2001?? It came with 4 fans I thought it was good 'nuff :roll:

 

[Pygmollion]

So I can be completely confident in the C.O.P thingy.. it hasn't been triggered yet... no reboots.. Can anyone vouch on the C.O.P doing what it really is supposed to do?? You know how old these nForce2 chipsets are.....

 

[Pygmollion]

C.O.P ?

Jesus man..... CPU Overheating Protection??

 

[Pygmollion]

Taken from that link... Typical/Max power dissipation (W) 62 / 68.3
How many deggies C does that translate to??

A hammer is the most precise tool you can use in this situation.

Gah! so much for finding the official AVG/MEAN operating temperatures! http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%202700%2B%20-%20AXDA2700DKV3D.html

No, you can't touch 'em unless you have a FIB (focused ion beam).

I just happen to have a focused ion beam pistol in my back pocket - very useful for cutting soft cheese. Anyone care to borrow it?

Thank god for the wayback machine... this is my case >>> http://web.archive.org/web/20030101000000-20041231235959/http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-156-132&depa=1

OK, so we cant see em. So what happens if, say you have a gazillion of em? Enuff to fill your hand? What would they then look like? And what color would they be? heheh

 

[Shizamaaur]

WOW great deal

:lol:
