Is there anyone out there among you that has a picture of what it looks like inside a processor. Maybe a picture of the inside of an AMD and an Intel processor for comparison. It's been a curiosity that's arisen in me and driven me crazy for a while.
you would think that after one fries someone would pop that baby open and have a look inside you know? Maybe I'll just have to break apart the one I fried. . . I'll be sure to post pics!
I wish I had seen this topic over the summer. I have had really bad luck with anything that went into my old computer case. There must have been bad airflow because two processors fried. I should have torn them apart they were useless anyways but my dad took them to work for some reason or another.
It might be because your power supply was faulty, causing the electricity flow to not flow like normal. Or like you said, it could be because of bad airflow (and i mean REALLY BAD) that your processor could cool itself down.
Another possibility would be that your heatsink wasn't doing what it was suppose to do or it could be your thermal coumpound issues.
But the chances of faulty power supplies are the highest among the possibilities I've just stated.
hi i would suggest you yourself can take a look inside your processor ,all that you might have thought is how to open it and see . Its incredibly easy.

A screwdriver to remove the lid from the unit (some systems you don't even need a screwdriver). RAM can be changed by hand (little clips hold the RAM pcb in place. You can also change the processor by hand, may need a small flathead screw driver to remove the Processor after you have taken off the fan and heatsink (metal thing). Make sure you're somewhere to reduce the amount of static. Like not on a carpet etc in case it damages the boards as you hold them. An anti-static wrist-band is quite cheap however if you want to be doubly sure.
What the above said....lol... I was browsing the Internet the other day looking for the answer of
which processor is the best for gaming, the compared processors are Intel Pentium IV HT E and AMD
Athlon 64 (if I am not mistaken...) Most people say that Intel is better than AMD but also more
expensive. While others say then AMD can be over-clocked and is less hotter than Intel. So know, I
want your opinion. Which is the best processor for gaming? Intel or AMD? Thank you for the help....
Ok, so my parents are wanting to buy two new laptops for themselves, and they want the best they can
get.. i dont want any sugestions on what kind of computer they should get, they will be getting
XPS's, i just want to know the differense, and what the pros and cons are of Dual Core Power
Processors, and Intel Centrino Dual Processor, and which one you think is better.... ive looked
online and couldn't find much, my parents have looked and hopefully someone here can help

I was reading a personal web site a couple of months ago that was discussing the owner's
experimentation with a 3.7 Ghz processor and liquid nitrogen cooling. If I recall correctly a speed
in the area of 5 Ghz was reached, but I don't recall exactly. Have any of you seen this site
and/or do you know where it is?...
Hi all, I don't know if you already had poll about processor type, but now I think ist time to
tell again, which processor we have. I have AMD Duron - 1,6 ghz, but personally I think that
pentium4 is best choice. Reason for me to have Duron is cheap price....
QUOTE Processor modes refer to the various ways that the processor creates an operating
environment for itself. Specifically, the processor mode controls how the processor sees and manages
the system memory and the tasks that use it. There are main three different modes of operation. The
8088 chip could only address 1 MB of system memory, and the original versions of Disk Operating
System created to work on it were designed with this in mind. This is called real mode. When a
processor is running in real mode, it has the advantage of speed, but it otherwise accesses ...
I keep hearing these commercials on the radio about a processor which keeps virusses out (AMD
athlon). Is this bullshit or what? How can a processor be anti-virus?...
What processor do you like to use? These processor has their own functions in every uses which
processor do you prefer to use. Even in work or just in gamin? Edited title's grammar. ...
This question is based off a class discussion I am having but always looking to seek more feed from
others, so here is the original version of that discussion, mind you I am talking about the book
when concern with page reference so you might have to look up some of these terms if you don't
know them. With that being said I need people with hardware experience to answer this, any posts
that say take this processor or that one without going into detail will be considered off topic and
will be reported. A friend of mine ask me to help him pick out some parts, of cou...
ok, I know that I have quite a number of real crazy overclockings before. like clocking a 2.4GHz
Pentium IV processor to rum at 3.6 GHz (Woooow). That is a kool 50% overclocking and guess what?
Everything was still normalk even after the crazy overclocking....Can you believe that. I do
respect the Intel Northbridge chipsets as they really allow you to do some very kool clocking to
your processor, RAM and Northbridge. I have used a number of Pentium IV class processors and
motherboards (6 pairs to be exact) within a quite a very short interval of time (within the past 1 ...
I have: Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2300+ (2.2Ghz) Motherboard: ASUS XSeries A7N8X-X BIOS:
Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG So I just want to know how to overclock my processor, possibly just via
the BIOS or jumber settings, but im happy with "fiddling" with the hardware. Step by step PLEASE

What do you think is the best processor company? I think intel is, becuase their processors are
faster and they have hyperthreading and are starting to produce 64 bit processors......
QUOTE DECEMBER 30, 2005 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - After 15 years of service as a tool to teach
consumers what brand of chip to ask for inside a personal computer, Intel Corp. has decided it's
out with the old "Intel Inside" campaign in favor of a new logo and tag line that includes the
phrase "Leap ahead." The logo and tag line will be formally announced on Tuesday. As part of
the major rebranding effort, the 37-year-old Intel logo -- its name in lowercase letters and a

Hey there, I am going to buy a new PC , and have everything sorted out , exept the processor... I
want an AMD processor , the question is : which model should I use? Which is the best processor ,
but still is not too expensive? Thanks...
I have a coputer about a year and half old, anyway last night I had to reset the BIOS due to some
unplesnentness, which I'm not willing to discuss. Anyway that went well however now the
computer thinks the process is AMD athalon XP 2500+ when it actualy is a 3200+, I know this for a
fact it is printed on the processor (I checked). Anyway when I was in the BIOS a wile ago I thought
I saw I clock setting option, anyway now I can't find it. Can anyone tell me where in the BIOS
these options should be. Some Specs: Board: nVidia-nForce2 Soltek BIOS: Phoenix Techno...
Hi all!!! I have 2 processors - Athlon XP 2500+ & Pentium 4 3.06 And i have some
questions for : 1.At Athlon temperature brings up to 90C - which cooller the best for this
proccessor? 2.Which water coolling system was the best for the P4 3.06???...
When I load my pc it shows as 1100Mhz, when it used to be 2200Mhz, Its an AMD Athlon XP 3200+
400FSB I thought it may be a multiplyer on the mobo, but I can't find any on there, the only
one on there is the clear the CMOS? the bios settings I think. Anyway, I'll wait a little while
for a response, but i g2g in a min. Thank you, Craig....
i am trying to configure some systems for internet browsing,this will be thier sole purpose,which
processor should i use for them,am sorta centered on d older celeron 830 mhz chip,cant afford any
chip higher than 1000mhz,pls advise,as a standard these chips would be mounted on intel chipset
boards with all integrated basic components with 128 mg ram and a 20 gb hardisk...
I want to but a new processor, a Pentium 4, I have a Celeron at the mo.. is it possible to simply
change them, swap the? Or would I need to buy a new mother board? Thank you, Cragllo....
