Hunting Athlon64 Motherboard with Cool and Quiet Capacity
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2004 11:50 am
Hi. I really am considering buying the Althon64 because of the Cool and Quiet tech its supposed to have. But I recently learned NOT all motherboards support this system. I have three mobos which I am considering right now.
Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP
Asus K8V Motherboard
MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R Mobo
Can someone tell me if any of these motherboards DO make use of the Cool and Quiet tech? I really NEED that system as my usual room temperature soars to 40-50C anytime I leave the house. With this in mind, my computer will most likely run temperatures more or less along that line as well. Not a good thing to do but I am planning on using my computer almost 24/7.
I cant afford water cooling since its an expensive option. Not to mention pielter(?) electric cooling solution. The power it uses to cool a cpu is big.
I really just want to make sure since I will be ordering them from a computer modz specialty store. And they're not going to just let me return a mobo so easily. And even still, I do want to make sure first.
