This took ... 1 minute ... to find. :p I suppose the out of the box base plate roughness measurement would also be out of the question.:( As far as an actual case ... which actual case & what actual case fans ... etc.:confused:

THIS!++ A "real" CPU just doesn't make so much sense anymore ... if you are reviewing HSFs. This makes the process more scientific versus wondering how some fav benchmark program is stressing a processor. What I really want to know is how good a HSF is in removing heat & I don't care about how...

That is my point ... marketing is quite challenging, but it never the less must be made. Apple's i-something-or-other ads are good and annoyingly frequent. With "good" and "often", you promote. Put yourself in the position of making a quality web page of yourself or your business that you want...

You are not missing anything & I agree with you! It was my intention to come across in that way. I was just commenting about the concern that many on the net have about this temperature differential. The fact that it is a non-issue is of itself a point to be made. I also share the excitement...

My own theory is marketing. In the case of Palm, the lack there of. The right kind of marketing can sell refrigerators to Eskimos ... there is some saying like that. When was the last time that you saw a TV ad for a Palm anything to do anything ... even if it was a mediocre anything? I don't...

Interesting ... will have to watch for builds & reviews.

Maybe a unique-ness without too much complication could be including 2 different TIMs ... a common "garden variety" that many would use versus a metal alloy? Add lapping, at the end of course with the "garden variety" TIM. And do this with 2 or more i7 920s for comparison to the metal alloy...

@ Rob ... I missed this update & reference to monitoring temperature. I especially note the 12 degree delta between cores #3 & #5... you *know* that there will be endless posts on endless forums about from every user that has a delta more 4 degrees. In up coming months there will many a link...

I don't even want to know what you were originally searching for that allowed you to find this. Falls under "too much information". Never the less, I will save this as a stocking stuffer suggest for a few (I wish!):rolleyes: female friends.

;) nice

Ahhh man, I was really looking forward to the librarian analogy.

Typically, as in always, I just assume that I will never figure out the "why". I did just stumble across BlueScreenView & I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? If not, then here it is. I have a Win XP 64 system that I am going to try it on.

A similar sounding problem that I did, was to set a screen resolution beyond what my monitor could handle. I was checking out another monitor & forgot to set it back to what my older monitor could handle. I doubt that it is exactly this, but perhaps something similar.

Thanks for the alert as this is just the kind of change that might really screw with external drives to use as backups, sneaker nets ... or any reason to move any drive from one computer to another. I suspect that this is an absolute necessity with TB drives ... or at least quite an influence.:)

Respectively, the "guy" looks to be 10 or 11 years old.:rolleyes: About the same for the girl. Anyway, I am anxious to get to a state of having 2 or 3 monitors to try this out. I some how feel that there will be a need for an up graded sound system also. So this will equal a time when I have...

Availability, price, performance ... there is a way to plot this in way some Econ Prof would love.

LOL It is also Einstein's b'day ... although I wonder if a circle was more of an oval to him.

... just now getting myself collected today after a hell-ish drive 4 hour drive in a rain storm. The 4 hours became 9:(:eek:

Nice review. I am still looking forward to get one of these ASAP replacing the current i7 920. I'll move the i7 920 to a another new system of which I have not purchased anything for as yet.:oI hope to try the new HSF provided with the i7 980X on the i7 920 ... assuming the WC, now on the i7...

LOL My son, when in 5th grade, would have known. But, my sister even now would have no clue & she studied accounting in college. My sister got her degree, my son did not.:confused:
