In recent times Intel has been a better choice all around, and still is, but I gotta ask, are you that Outpost dude that kept killing his AMD-based PCs dead somehow?

Nope. They just always ran hot and were a pain in my butt.

8 cores

Yeah, and they were supposed to be AMDs second coming of Jesus...

1090T or 1100Ts are pretty nice.

Nothing in particular Zartan. The kids just decided my old box was a vending machine and fried it dropping change in the front panel...

Amd? No thank you. When I started building pc's I got talked into them by you cheapasses. Never again.



So other than running hot, what other issues were you having? My 1090T runs pretty cool.

What models?

My hottest one was the Thunderbird 1,2Ghz clocked it a bit and it could peak at 65-70 Celcius (I considered that quite hot) at times but that was well within specification, never had problems with it.

The fan died once though during my heaviest overclocks, temp shoot to 90 degrees+ Celcius before I cut the power, but it survived and as far as I know is still alive and well as a surfing and email machine for my parents neighbours.

Had 5 AMD processors since and they've all ran flawless, not to mention the 100s of processors (mainly Opteron line) I've sold when working with render and computational farms.

AMD makes great hardware.

I don't remember. It was around 1999ish. I just remember it being pretty flakey and a pain to set up. I am sure they have improved since then.

I am very pleased with this intel build. It's cool, quiet, fast, and was a breeze to put together.

Modular power supplies are BOSS. From now on, I will never buy any other psu.
