I Dont Own...Just Got A Question?

Reviewed By: antmanofgod on 4/30/2008 Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: SHWEET!!!

Cons: N/A

Other Thoughts: How hot does this thing run without overclocking and with standard fan out of box? How high can one overclock this thing before it melts with standard equipment? Is water cooling a possibility and does it really do that much difference? If I was unable to afford water cooling what is the most efficient way to cool this CPU so it will bring down the temp drastically while overclocking?

Newegg.com - AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor - CPUs / Processors

-_- Do people not know about hardware review sites and forums?

This idiot is telling people to use epoxy/glue to install a VGA water block! I submitted a "review" warning people, will have to see if it gets posted or not.

I loved the end.

WHAT??? You just told people to use some sort of "glue" or "thermal grease epoxy" to stick their heatsink to their GPU core...
