You most certainly can go wrong with processors. If you custom-build a PC, you need to make sure to get enough airflow from fans to cool off the CPU you get. AMDs need a lot more, as they tend to have overheating problems.
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!
Fyron, I really think that sometimes.. (Won't start that thread again...)
