ipdesigner Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 what do you prefered, pentium or athlon? why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 for me? pentiums, because the fans and cooling systems are superior the AMD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Which brings me too....what about all those snazzy liquid cooling machines? Even Sony is using it now. Seems nice, no noice, keeps it perfectly cool. I know I hate those fans, esp. the newer ones for the Xeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Which brings me too....what about all those snazzy liquid cooling machines? Even Sony is using it now. Seems nice, no noice, keeps it perfectly cool. I know I hate those fans, esp. the newer ones for the Xeons. Yea I was just thinking about that today. I don't much about how those work. Sounds great, but seems dangerous to be combining water + electronics. I'm sure its safe if you know what you are doing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Altieri Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 i've better experiences with pentiums, they keep coold!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 The liquid system is hermetically sealed, so there isn't really any issue of water (not even sure it's water) escaping. Considering that it's the very high end machines (like Falcon, Voodoo, Velocity, etc.) and they actually over clock the CPUs, I'd guess that it's just a matter of mass produced cost reductions before we see them in everything. That, and Sony just introduced a machine with it. The new PC Mag (or World, can't recall which) has reviews of high end PCs. They really cook, but man are they expensive.

jysngltndz Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 pentiums... havnt tried athlon yet.. kinda bias.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 well my athlons allways seamed unreliable to overheating and crashing during high intensive floating point renders. always. now my xeons are noisy to high heaven, but i not had 1 over-heat problem since i bought them over a year ago. you can buy extra cooling fans/systems for athlons, but the pentiums default fan is more than adequate. no extra costs needed.

jucaro Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yep. Them Athlons have noisy fans. Imagine if you'd be having Athlons for a render farm. I'm biased with Intel too ever since I got a non-Intel board over heat in the middle of a render production. Now I'm an Intel Board and Chip fan.
