How can you accurately gauge if intels run hotter then AMD's is what I want to know.
I'm no fanboy and own both an AMD and an Intel cpu powers pc's.

u could run them underload each using the same program, and also the same heatsink and fan.Originally Posted by antheh
but that would vary from the models of intels to models of amd
1) the older AMD processors did not have thermal protection, the new ones do.Originally Posted by Cana-Balsitic
2) intel chips run hotter then AMD because the intel chips use way more power.
now for the issue of temps:
the intel you have is undoubtedly a prescot core, which are known as space heaters. its normal for you to see those temps on a stock heatsink. i recomend getting a solid copper heatsink and use arctic silver5 (a thin consistant layer is best). if your motherboard can handle it this is a very nice and quiet heatsink.

or the one i have but you really have to check the zalman website to make sure it will fit on your motherboard

and here is the arctic silver 5

you can get several uses out of that tube and remember to use some rubbing alcahol to clean both the processor and the heatsink before you apply the AS5 and then try not to leave the AS5 sitting out to collect dust, the cleaner the connection the better the heat dispersal.
good luck.
I use Artic Silver Ceramique and find it to be really good. I started off using a Spire I think it was silver thermal paste and it worked good, once I used the Artic Silver Ceramique it was even better, lowering temps by a good 5c overall.

Like, you find out two equal amd and intel boards, and two equal amd and intel chips, get two identical video cards, optical drives, power supplies, cases, hard drives, and cooling systems.
You can only accurately test things when only one variable is different

All your base are belong to us.
I want to know the best place to put the thermal sensor so i have a more accurate temp readings and my harcano 13 wont stop flashing red, no alarm beeps just flashing.
the best place for a probe would be in a small hole drilled into the heatsink base. Or if its possible, in the void in the socket right under the cpu. I currently have mine taped to the back side of my motherboard. I dont know if its the best place but the readings still fluxuate according to load.
