You forgot to mention accuracy. A troll should never be that close to the truth.
Points to meltie for inovation as well.
Nice try Pat, I did enjoy it, but for pure funny, meltie wins.

this will be my first winter with my AMD

the Intel prescott i had before definately helped keep my room warm I shit you not. it made a room temp difference of about 3 celcius

i don't think the Athlon will do that for my room this summer. right now it's only at 32c. i doubt it'll provide enough heat to my room to change anything

in fact. i'd imagine my idle temps will drop a LOT this winter. will i hit the < 30 mark?
 
I never once checked temps in either of the AMD systems I owned.

Besides, right now, you could substitute Intel for AMD in your little diatribe and it would actually be 100% accurate.

when you made an account on THG, you meant to hit the 'm', not the 'Z' right?

BTW, clown, there is one Intel guy that have heat problem with his computer, If you're that smart, why not help him and prove your point that Intel do not overheat???

But you're such a moron yourself, and you rather keep proving it to everybody ..

I doubt that you can even help him... not smart enough for that ...

But keep posting .. it was long time since the last troll... happy to have one back.. and one of the greatest!!!

this guy has heat problem with Intel

You may be close to right. When he joined THGC Zoron was a serious Intel fanbois. I dont know what made him think, or I would suggest that route to you.
It's amazing what people can accomplish, with a little brain power.

i'd have to agree this is too good to be stopped, you get my 120% vote for keep on coming (someone make a stickey outta this plz lol)

Ok.. you one time, make me laugh (..well.. ok) so here is another one that I think should be better ..

Wake up sweating..
go back to bed, it was the temp alarm on the computer, the alarm from the clock
wake up again, sweating more
Check for encoding job (yeah, Intel is better for encoding job...)
Almost done.. CPU rinning at 40% speed du to throttling
go to work
go in forum on the internet
praise Intel for encoding
go back home.
Check job.
No progress.. computer freezed, work not saved, work lost forever
go to bed, blaming software
