My CPU is Hot

The Core 2 Quad Processor series were basically two Core 2 Duos fused together. Note that I said "fused" not bolted. Intel would not use a crude method of bolting processors together. Bolting processors together would not work anyway.

Nanometers are incredibly small. There are ten million of them in one centimeter. The Core 2 Quad 6600 Processors that were being manufactured used 65 nanometer technology. The Core 2 Quad 6600 has 586 Million transistors in it. Computer chip technology has been refined to an amazing art.

I didn't mean literally bolted together :P

processors weren't 4 cores on 1 die, they were 2 cores per die on 2 separate dies on a single MCM.

You might read/hear that the i series CPUs have 2 dies though, which is true, however 1 is the CPU cores, the other is the integrated GPU, which isn't the same as how the C2Q processors were

well yeah i didnt actually think they were bolted together. i dont see how that would possibly work as a quadcore lol. thats very interesting though. learn something new everyday :good:

did you decide on a HSF daytrader?
 
911aaron, I think I will go with a Zalman 9700 NT because my neighbor sells Zalmans on Amazon and said he'd get me one at cost. I'm still waiting to hear back from him to see if he really does it though.
