Sluggotg I would like to see a review of these cards. Favorite Tomshardware article. Pulling the heatsinks off socket 7 CPUs. The used an Intel, an AMD and a Cyrix, (If I am remembering correctly). They were running a demo of Doom or Duke and they had the heatsink sitting on the CPU. They would lift it off while videoing the MB and the monitor. They lifted the Intel and the computer immediately locked up. Then they used the Cyrix, I clocked itself way down and kept running at a really low frame rate. Then the AMD, the Heat paste boiled, the CPU and Motherboard were immediately destroyed. This embarrassed AMD so they designed a new circuit to dump the power to the CPU when High Temps were encountered. A few months after AMD and the Motherboard manufacturers implemented the new design, I was building an AMD machine. I hooked up the new build and hit start.. it immediately shutdown. Just as I pressed start again, I realized I failed to self check and forgot to install the CPU Heatsink, (I was a bit hung over). Fortunately the new mod worked great and saved the computer. I put the heatsink on and the computer worked great for many years. Self Checking isn't just for work. Reply
bit_user The article said: This is a big deal for the region, and Lisuan's TrueGPU architecture represents China's self-reliance ambitions in the boldest way possible — something that even local darling Moore Threads hasn't been able to achieve yet. Is TrueGPU really a novel microarchitecture, or did they do the same thing as Moore Threads and just slap their own branding on IP licensed from Imagination Technologies? Reply
