nasa geek Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Did I read that right ? Are black edition processors being shipped with HSFs now? Because all previous black edition models have not had a heatsink or fan included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all previous black edition models have not had a heatsink or fan included. Depends if you buy it retail or OEM. Thanks guys for the kind words. It is a great little chip and has taken home in my 1U server project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) these seem pretty strong. Assuredly this would make a great heart for an HTPC? Edited May 4, 2009 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I am sure it would..my HTPC still runs a 4000+ Brisbane and it does fine with everything I through at it....but it's not a gamer either...I have that coupled with a 6600gt from the stone age and it does 1080p just fine.... this chips is almost twice what mine is so I am positive this would make and Awesome HTPC or server chip....

Crazy_Nate Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Now if they'd only get the TDP down It does seem pretty good for the price. How warm did it run when you OC'd it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 well if you run a server or HTPC that runs "in house" you dont really need all that CPU power so you can down clock the multiplier and vcore.... I have had my HTPC down clocked to 1ghz before with little issue on .75v....ran very cool and only seen a little glitching in HD playback...I now have it at 1.8ghz at 1.175v I am sure these chips can do that too....
