I love my 6000 x2, but it runs really hot
Exactly why I said that the newer duo's use less power and run cooler. The 5800+ and 6000+ are great cheap processors but they use a lot of energy and they run hot. In part to their 90nm cores.

Brisbane or Windsor core?
I have brisbane, O/C to 3.3 from 3.1 and my idle temps are 30~ and while playing cod4 50~
max temp is 62'c

AMD sucks. and melts. There are a "few" lucky people who have never experienced this, but when you use an AMD it's kind of like gambling only difference is the odds are not 50/50 but against you instead.

Windsor. I'm on stock, too afraid to OC with my temps. I get 48 idle 56 load. It stays around 54-55 usually though.

Well sadly AMD wasn't made to with stand a blowtorch test.
If it was a common occurrence it would be a big and widely known issue by now. They couldn't hush hush a issue like that.
So I am gonna have to say you and your colleagues are the issue not the chip.
I'm just going to close my eyes and imagine that I didnt even read that.
. I've been doing this since the K-5 and Pentium I but I am not going to get into how untrue that is.

Intel made about 6 times more than AMD last year and only since about 1987 were they nearly close in revenue. It's not even fair to put down AMD anymore for not making up to Intel par with 6 times less money to manufacture and develope with. Thats like making fun of a kid who got his ass beat in a 6 vs 1 fight, because he couldn't take all 6 kids on. There shouldn't even be a comparison anymore, seriously. AMD is doing a good f***king job for what they have to deal with. The last comparison to be made should simply be, AMD = Budget, Intel=Highend/Enthusiasts and there's nothing at all wrong with a being on a budget.

No, they are budget and that's what their meant to be and they do a good job for what they do and how much performance you get per dollar. If I had 700 dollars to spend on a gaming PC, I'm not going to spend $165 for an E8400, I'm going to spend $90 on a 6000+ or $100 on a 8450X3 Phenom.

AMD is good
Just a year or so ago AMD was the one to beat. Intel has now leap frogged over them in a sense. Meaning Intel owns the benchmark trophy right now. For every day use and gaming AMD is still what I use. I see no reason to spend the extra money for what Intel has when the software out right and what I use my computer for (gaming and basic apps) does not need those extra bells and whistles. Its not worth the extra expense. AMDs are really easy to overclock too.

They don't overclock that well.

They're great CPUs if you just want something that runs and is cheap.

I have to disagree. These things are easy and stable. You have to support it obvioulsy. Cooling, Ram . PSU. MB chipset. How would you know only using 500W PSU? Get a clue..

Um @autoboot, keep your opinion to yourself if you don't have anything nice to say, and @Diamondsleeper, they don't overclock that well if you compare them to intel, and the psu power ratting has nothing to do with how well they overclock unless you are using a 200watt psu.

I am answering the question to the thread, I am also answering with the truth. The truth is rarely ever nice.

Well they don't always SUCK they just have there faults, just like intel did.
