Have fun explaining why even amd now has thermal shutdown.
Because cooling fans fail. (duh) -Dave

Lying now.
Never ever could bullshit its way out of its predicament.

You've never worked in a proper company have you?WORK IN PROGRESS.....get it? 10 15 minuters... whatever its WORK IN
PROGRESS..... and hang around a video rendering machine and listen to the
lab SCREAM when a system goes down......
Because once every two to three years, a fan may pack up.Have fun explaining why even amd now has thermal shutdown.

No duh about it, if you have built systems that had CPU
'sink fan failures it was an incompetent build. If merely
citing 3rd party builds, avoid them if they haven't bothered
to set up the system properly for long term use.
In this day and age, a system with a fan failure before
the system is completely obsolete, is defective.
I already did in another post,
to protect themselves from incompetent
system integrators/assemblers/etc.
I'm sure they don't mind having it as a feature on an spec sheet either.
... because you don't know how to made sound system design decisions.
... because even after being given a strong hint about how
to combat such things you still prefer to focus on events
that are outside a reasonable expectation, instead of
taking the prudent steps to combat them first.
I knew you'd try to grasp at straws. Reread
my past posts, I'd stated as much already.
Read more carefully next time.
You overlooked what I wrote in previous posts, will you
overlook what I wrote above so I need repeat it again?

So when faced with the fact that you can't keep a system
running and need a protection mechanism, you crash into an
endless loop?

Precisely, in spite of what kony mindlessly pig ignorantly claims.

You are example enough, you have no idea how
to mitigate system failures and minimize downtime.
I suppose I should feel pity if you can't set a system up
and expect more than a couple years inbetween fan failures?
Good quality CPU 'sink fans implemented with
moderate RPM do not fail in two to three years.
Just as one can buy a crap power supply with fradulent
ratings, one could buy a crap fan with fradulent ratings,
but when speaking of good quality fans, they are rated
for 50-100K hours and there is no reasonable
expectation that such a fan will fail within a decade.
In the end it boils down to your pretending to
know what you're talking about vs actually
having experience implementing high quality fans.
Instead of accepting that you are not competent to select
high quality components to directly address the problem,
you seek a safety net to limit the damage your ineptitude causes.
There is one quite limited scenario where good quality
fans are more likely to fail prematurely (or rather, too
great a variable to predict with specs), in very extreme
environments such a desert sand, rock dust, certain
industrial chemical environments where even a filtration
system is ineffective or cost prohibitive. Such systems
are pulled out of service on regular intervals instead
of left running till the fans fail.
The reason is that it costs peanuts and only a fool would
actually be stupid enough to risk damage to the most
expensive component in the system. You qualify in spades.
And that isnt that uncommon with the average user.
Not if it fails in a way that sees the heatsink just
loose so it doesnt cool the cpu properly anymore.
That assumes it actually ends up reefing the cpu
out of the socket. That doesnt normally happen.
Yeah, and avoided that bodgy approach the early
athlons had with a small easily damaged cpu top etc.
Time will tell, particularly with the latest amd cpus.
Thats arguable given what most do on their personal desktop systems.
It can make a lot more sense to spend that money on ram instead.
Thats overstating it with systems that arent used for gaming
or say crunching video files from one format to another.
They're about the only things where the benchmark performance
is even visible with most personal desktop systems now.
1GB of memory is cheap these days, no need to limit a system
to any less. Beyond 1GB the performance advantage for most
users is VERY small, much smaller than a faster CPU.
I think you're underestimating the average computer user.
Nope.
People DO notice differences in performance.
They might not *care* that much, but that's not to say
they won't notice it. This is true even for fairly simple
tasks like web browsing, e-mail, word processing, etc.
Note that when I mention the 20% number I'm talking about
actual application performance, not some synthetic CPU
benchmark or anything like that. Often times it takes much
more than a 20% improvement in CPU performance to equal
a 20% improvement in overall system performance.
Yes you're right on one count, that implementation wasn't
at great expense within the context of overall CPU design.
Stupidity would have to be your assumption that a properly
implemented cooling system is at significant risk of fan failure.
How many systems have you managed to turn
into unreliable time-bombs with this attitude?
Apparently quite a few else you'd not think
the shutdown mechanism was important.
None, zero, nada, ziltch.
