Wow they keep growing

[shortyes]

All I can say is wow to the cooling Intel needs for the Tajas and Yahok or yahill?
linky (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=14851)

:eek:

[germanjulian]

sorry I DO NOT HAVE A SERVER ROOM. OMFG (sorry had to swear thats HUGE)

[ChiefScout]

holy crap that is friggin huge....haha I hope intel loses a ton of money through these processors lol

[stan03]

omg... wow i can't wait to see the oem cases.

[Jimbob7]

hohoho they look like they got some serious pow-ah :D

[Barn_Angel]

only 8 inches tall? sad, i was expecting more. i want to see the aftermarket ones :p (compare current stock to sp-94)

now all i need is something thats better than the sp-97 for my DLT3C...its just not cutting it.

[dead_man311]

Wow that thing is masive

[Sentential]

JEEZ! How many watts does Tejas throw off!! Maybe it really is 150w+... Imagine the power consumption :eek:

[boffin2163]

Were going to need and slk 800 just to cool the mosfets on the M/B's lol

Yeah, then if they lose loads of money they won't be able to fix the processors so that they don't run as furnaces...idiot.

Those heatsinks arn't that big, they look to be just over 120mm high, which isn't much really, for a heatsink its quite tall but look at its construction, half the height is heatpipe, come on seriously...

[hkh]

One word every one water cooling Iam getting is and I am sure alot more people will to.

[Freddie]

You need ln2 lol.

[Spiffster]

Why? Why would anybody choose those over amd's server lineup.

[shortyes]

From what I heard the locking mech is flimpsy and will break if you install or change CPU or HSF too many times. But intel has about 6-8 months to fix it

Just openly flame him. :rolleyes:

That's unacceptable for OEM cooling. I mean look at current P4 Heatsinks they are just big aluminum chunks. If their new processors put out enough heat to require heatpipes they are sunk. The processors are getting out of hand and Intel seems to be ignoring the fact that the processor is flawed. I mean if they are willing to release/force BTX on to the market along with heatpipes, they are in trouble.

I agree completely. If anyone thinks dust is an issue now, look at all the surface area on those sinks. Those are for SERVER processors, not high end eunthusiasts. I'm willing to bet that a dusty heatsink might not fry a Prescott, but would definitely make it thermal throttle, which is going to affect performance and longetivity.

Guess Dell won't be selling any more 1U servers with those monstrous heatsinks :)

It's passive...

Maybe Intel is going for a multi-function device. I mean we already have the printer, scanner, fax, copier things, so why not stove, coffee pot, microwave, oven thing?

Dust will still insulate passive coolers. Anytime you add material to a heatsink, you create another thermal resistance and decrease heat transfer. I'm pretty sure the BTX spec calls for case blowers so there is airflow across the fin surface.

Now I realize why BTX requires heatsinks be attched to the case -the extended surface on that thing would torque the motherboard if it used the P4 mounting bracket.

I thought Tejas was a desktop CPU and not server

Still, the average dell customer won't feel the difference.

Doesn't matter to me, gonna watercool next time anyway :D .

Actually, every Dell customer will feel the difference. Server rooms are usually air conditioned to keep ambient temperatures low and to decrease processor temps. Raising your core temp by 10°C will (roughly) shorten the lifespan of the chip by 50% as noted here (http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/q32000/articles/art_4.htm) by Intel. So higher wattages mean higher processor temps, which will lead (in theory) to more processor failures and a continuously higher operational cost for air conditioning.

Any competent IT person should know this. And Intel certainly does - I took the facts from their site.

Well there goes all the 1U/2U server options out there.
