| Hot running or dusty case, or high ambient temp would still cause problems! They still had one crash even with the fan, not good. Also that was with the "improved" Gigabyte board. |

| A higher number of phase nodes will make each node run cooler, but it does not directly mean that more phase nodes is better in providing more current. The boards tested at Anand are brought to the edge of stability just so to remain cheaper? They should have added heatsinks, how many 100€ Intel boards come heatsink-less? Just in case, AMD brought out a high power CPU but it is not directly their fault that the lower end boards are being killed on sight. |
