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.

QUOTE (nasa geek @ May 3 2009, 11:32 AM)  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. 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. -------------------- 1U Server Project 0% |||||||||||||||| 100%

these seem pretty strong. Assuredly this would make a great heart for an HTPC?

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.... -------------------- Wii-Kart code 2707-2013-4642

Now if they'd only get the TDP down
 It does seem pretty good for the price.

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.... -------------------- Wii-Kart code 2707-2013-4642
