That is not the issue we are talking about, that is a cooling issue that you need to adapt to the individual processor.
An intel processor has different fan mounts than an AMD.
What we are talking about is prestanda. Ofcourse you have to adapt the cooling to the heat, that is obvious. There are millions of AMD processors running perfectly!

The issue I was talking about is very relevant to building your own PC, which we were indeed talking about.

I never said anything even remotely related to AMDs not being able to work. Nothing in my post even comes close to such a statement.

Then you should also mention that it aswell draw more power and so costs more in the long run.
And the issue about thermal safety features built into the processors.
And ofcourse the difference in the chipsets (a real issue), what about rambus memory? Colour of the chips? status? etc etc.

When someone asks what processor should I get they usually means wich processor gives me best prestanda.
The one starting this thread talked about brand computers and weren't specifically talking about putting his own computer together, quite the opposite. All brand computers come equipped with ample cooling devices.
You've got to differ between what is an issue and what is showing off.

Fyron, try someting new:
Don't get the Last post in an argument/discussion! Anxiety?

(Sorry if I'm ranting but its 02.30 in the night, I'm tired and aren't allowed to go to sleep, work related)
