Intel only Q6600 and QX Proc can better than AMD proc...other all AMD better than Intel....

get Biostar TA690G...proven are ocable but for future upgrade, wait for TA770 A2+ and see the review..supposed to be ocable too but not much review for the moment

They claimed they changed the CPU, Tested with Gigabyte Mobo, test with another PSU, still overheat at 80+ celcius

So last solution, change to intel

i'm selling my asus m2a-vm....pm me if interested...performance : can oc up to 2.7 wif my x2 4000+

Wow 110? Is above boiling point?

BTW if they offer a intel setup is a great deal....Or maybe have to check if they offer you pentiumD instead of core2?

Come to think of it..is it 110 Farenheit? 110 Farenheit is queit normal....i dun think it's 110C lar...CPUs can't last more than 60C on average...110C melted liao..(i've melt a CPU b4..an old XP1800+..and i dun think i reached 100C yet...LOL)....either that or the CPU temp sensor in the mobo is rosak.

110 degree celcius said by bear bear...dont know wheter wrong reading or what. =.=

i'm not joking la, because of the problem i went back to Lowyat for 4 times in 5 days. Max recorded was 110 degree celcius

I called them happily thinking i can change to intel, they told me they manage to run the PC overnight with no problem on AMD X2 5000+(the one i was having problem with was 5200+). They asked me if it's ok that i take 5000+ and they'll refund the balance.

I rejected and claimed that i won't accept that, so they say they'll open up another 5200+ and test again.

Went back there to collect at 7pm, the technician there say that the new 5200+ is running good for 3 hours without restarting and sign of overheating. They suspect might be batch problem of processor.

So here i am, typing with my new rig finally after 5 days of purchasing it
