Also chances are it'll be incompatible with any AM2/+/3 board since it's a whole new architecture.

im not 100% sure about that.
and some intel use 38nm atm

holla......
Sry...Bt tell me if overclocking causes increase in heat of CPU and motherboard...?

[naoan]

Of course it'll increase your temp, mainly your cpu and your entire part if you have case with bad circulation.

maybe u should read better if u never do this before dont start on it

He basicly says that the new AMD series cpu have a better overclock rate and that is true.
The new AMD cpu will be more powerfull and you can clock it more.
Im also happy with that cuz im planing to buy the fastest six core of AMD.
But not now im wait till AMD release 40nm* cpu,s.
(*40mn is the Die size how smaller the Die size is how faster the cpu is)
I hope AMD release 40nm cpu,s anyway lol.

thx and sorry i have so difficulty to speak english but try hard

no....d prob is that I live in subtropic.
here the average temp is abt 45-50 C...
so it is almost impossible to oc my cpu even to 3.1 GHz

forget overclocking then

As you probably know, air cooling can't bring the processor temperature lower than the surrounding air in the environment/room (so if your room temp is 22c, even with a 16,000rpm ultra fan your cpu can't cool down on air below that). In desert or subtropical climate problems are further compounded by potential damage from humidity or excess dust/sand storms etc.

Hence overclocking in tropical or desert climates, or in some cases even running a computer at all, is very risky because there is a realistic risk of fatal failure for multiple components if not extremely well ventilated (HDD can easily go to 60-70c in hot desert climate and will die quickly).
(Or you can use liquid cooler bloc, liquid helium/nitrogen tube, dry ice)

Server rooms and datacenters in the middle-east/africa use large cleanrooms with evaporated freon air cooling or compressed/cooled air for this reason. The best place to overclock a CPU would be on the north pole, siberia, lapland etc.

Yup... I live above Tropic of cancer....bt due to subtropical environment, it is very hot....so have to wait for winters.LOL

See if I can increase the airflow of the CPU by opening the chassis...
CAN it really help..
