I think it will be a really big deal to all the overclockers who love their watercooling setups because you know they will still want to watercool a tbred no matter how low the temps come at stock cooling. And I thought AMD specially catered to the overclocker in all of us.
well we have allready seen one mobo without holes... i sure hope that i will be able to use my mcx-462 at least untill the end of barton, fist a ddr333 mobo in the near future then possibly a ddr400 later on.

Actually I'm serious. I can come up with a list of at least 100 ways that both AMD and Intel are screwing us atypical end users. AMD and Intel are having a competition over who can suck the most.
Run along in the corner AMD_Man, and start imagining ATI and Nvidia together: The all-mighty NV-ATI Geforceon 9000.
As for Crashman's comment, I dunno but I'll disagree on his rather rude comment than opiniative... oh well, maybe he's just getting too impatient and waiting for the damn Tbreds to come out and build them already...

The both suck, its just for some different reasons, and some of the same reasons. Yes, I am an impatient man, or rather am at the end of my patience. We need another top technology processor company to push the technology forward, it's being held back by intent, by both companies.
I actually have to agree with Crashman. Both companies are purposely holding back on performance lately.
As for the holes, it isn't just the overclockers who are losing out here. It is also the professional workstation developers who simply want the absolute most assurance that when the abnormal happens, their system won't become a worthless pile of charred rubble.

I'd rather have an KYRATIDIA Radi-Force 8504 II Ti running on my AMtel Athium 2.2+GHz.
Though in a year I expect to upgrade to an AMtel's chip codenamed Hamcott, that will be released under the official name of PentClaw. Not so much because I expect it to be the best possible CPU, but simply because it's all that I can afford.
What do you think Crashman? Do you want a PentClaw, with it's one-armed memory controller?

Perhaps there should be a poll started here on who uses them big a** heatsinks to overclock? Do any of you in this thread overclock your AMD's? It doesn't seem to bother anyone here so I will assume for now you don't, but there is a lot of dismay being voiced around other places on this issue.
