Then again the likelihood of me buying either is very remote...

1196624 2011-04-24 11:14:00 That's probably a really good cooling system, but it just isn't the same as a 1.6kg heatsink with four 120mm fans.... it just isn't insane enough.... Agent_24 (57)
1196625 2011-04-24 11:22:00 Motherboard does less stuff these days, more and more functions are integrated into the CPU, all the motherboard really does is just connect everything together, as long as it does that, size doesn't matter.

I guess I'm stuck in the days of ISA, and heatsink-less 386's... oh dear.

1196626 2011-04-24 12:16:00 Actually an older 386 (or even 286) probably has even less than the new boards

I've got one, even the CPU is on it's own little sub-board.

Hard drive controller (Winchester, no IDE here!) is a separate card, same goes for sound, video.

1196630 2011-04-26 07:31:00 Yeah a one and a half kg heatsink and fan hanging off my motherboard... You'd be better off with lying your tower case on it's side :p

1196631 2011-04-26 07:42:00 That's why I reckon you need small steel suspension cables to put most of the load on the top of the case... Agent_24 (57)
