ok... lets say that u actually didnt feel the pain and got this ddr3 monster u still need to feel the pain on the ddr3 ram pulak.... :/rolleyes:
few word for this:
NO PAIN, NO GAIN

DDR3 is very affordable now ain't? Range around RM300.
yeah, last time DDR2 oso rate at this price wat... if wan cheaper, next year mayb

Dear Customer,
Your service request : SR #{ticketno:[8200185491]} has been reviewed and updated.
Response and Service Request History:
Processor core technology (i.e. 45nm vs. 65nm) does not necessarily dictate the processors temperature. Both the Phenom 940 and 9950 are 125 watt processors and should be expected to run a bit hotter than other lower wattage processors. The Phenom 940 has a maximum safe operating temperature of 62 degree Celsius. Essentially what this means is that anything above that is considered as unsafe (but not yet dangerous unless it reaches past the 75 degree mark and more) and it should be investigated as to why the processor runs hotter than it should.
Usually the increased temperatures could be attributed to environmental conditions (i.e. hotter weather, humidity, dust, obstruction of airflow), or to hardware conditions (i.e. an incompatible BIOS). In your case, it is possible that the software you are using is no interfacing properly with the BIOS – if the BIOS shows the temperature as 36-40 but the software shows it differently, it is safe to assume the software may have a bug in it that does not properly interface with the BIOS.
We suggest you update the BIOS of your motherboard (to be safe), update your drivers and ensure no rouge processes are running that may increase processor utilization, ensure that there is no dust in the computer case and on the HSF and ensure that there is proper airflow through the computer. You may also want to remove the HSF and apply a new layer of thermal compound.
If you have any questions, please reply back to this email or contact us at 408-749-3060 for North
America CPU Support, 44-1276-803299 for EU CPU/GPU Support or 1-877-284-1566 for North
America GPU support.
In order to update this service request, please respond, leaving the service request reference intact.
Best regards,
AMD Global Customer Care
ya, the theory is there, same 125w TDP chip is a bit hot, but since the smaller design 45nm instead of 65nm, at the same temp(same heat dissipated) 45nm can go much more futher thn 65nm, as its high efficiency of the chip.
as we always say, internal airflow, quality of HSF, fan CMF/RPM, mounting of HSF, way apply of TIM, all these r important in heat controlling(conducting/dissipating frm the chip to HSF/serounding )
bout the wrong reading it may coz by:
sensor prob/ software compatibility(with OS/hardware)/ software bug

Since now DDR3 price is acceptable.
