AMD heat.

[zathras]

Greetings.

I am unclear how/if this AMD heat issue effects operation in a non-AC environment--at a summer time room temp of 90+F.
This is assuming that the system is a non-overclocked, "stock" XP 2000+...with no failures of the fan or heat sink.

My PII and PIII operate fine in these "hot" conditions. Will that AMD 2000+?

THANKS!

Yes, it will be fine.

You'll die before the computer. Make sure you drink lots of water if you plan on sitting in a 90+ degree room all day.

See, when you come to THGC you even get medical advice

Agreed! The Athlon XP does not have any thermal issues as long as the stock heatsink is seated properly and that you don't overclock.

Hmm... seems weird to read about this whilst sitting inside when it is about -10°C out... here...
but i suppose it could be a problem in some environments... like say you went to a lan party in the middle of the desert... and it was 50°C out... lol

Remember he's talking about Farenheit, while you're talking about Celcius/Centigrade.

It was 78 degrees F here yesterday. I have to consider warm weather year-round. It sucks for someone to have 90+F inside. The building must have been built horribly to not insulate the heat outside.

I once broke up with a girlfriend since her damn house was too hot and she wouldn't turn the AC on.

i know... thats why i wrote in the symbol... i have no concept of what is hot in fareinheit... except that -40=-40 and -32=0...

 

[scwarner]

Centigrade temp X 9/5 + 32 = Fareinheit temp

Just one of those stupid things I remember from high school.

"Intel people buy their computers to learn. AMD people build theirs because they already have."

 

[FatBurger]

Just making sure, I figured you realized.

scwarner, thanks for the equation. That's one of the ones from high school I can never remember.

ok, so now I know it was a silly question,
but I just had to ask!

No way man. The Athlon sucks! It has TONS of heat problems. When you fry your POS processor be sure to buy an Intel next time! Everyone knows Athlons run hot!



(hehe I just figured I'd get it out of the way...some intel zealot was bound to do it eventually. heh)
