Thermalright's News! Nov.23.2007
Since
when AMD released the first Dual Core processor,
CPU technology has contently been on the rise. Then
in 2007, Intel took the hardware community by storm
when it released the first Quad Core processor.
But no matter how great a technology is for these
newly developed CPUs, heat is still the number one
concern and with AMD releasing their own Quad Core,
the Phenom it𠏋 a continuous uphill battle.
Now in 2007, Phenom comes out with a CPU socket
named AM2+, but is backward compatible with the
original Socket AM2. Based on the performance we
observed from a Phenom 9700 2.4Ghz, the power consumption,
even at idle, went up as high as 168 watts while
Intel Q6600 idled at 162 watts! Under overclocking
conditions, the new Phenom will definitely be hotter
than Intel𠏋 Quad Core. Therefore, it is vital to
have the best CPU heat sink for your multi-core
CPU. Thermalright has just the right heat sinks
with plenty of cooling capacity to cool these hot
CPUs. Want to test out AMD Phenom𠏋 limit? Get a
Thermalright heat sink and go to it!

the above list) on a Socket 939, you will
need to make a separate purchase for the 939
Bolt Thru Kit. |
2.If you𠆫e installing on a socket AM2
or AM2+, you will need to check to see if
your motherboard comes with the AM2 metal
backplate. If it doesn㦙, you will need to
