Socket F Opterons Arrive In Japan !

[Revv23]

For a server/workstation processor, I would expect it to come with adequate cooling which meets manufacturer thermal specs. Are those third parties going to replace my chip if it burns up? Has AMD published a listing for system builders of HSFs which meet their quality standards that they will stand behind?

Oh are you kidding me? You assemble servers and you don't know how to tell if you have adequate cooling? I'm not usually one to get harsh on the forums but WTF. Shame on you.

Not to mention, AMD still makes HSF's and im sure that they are obtainable. Since AMD killed the OEM CPU this is basically it's replacement. Like it was already stated AMD is retailing X2's without heatsinks too. OEM with a box and a warranty, thats something i can live with.

Its a RETAIL box... 3 year warranty... This means if it s up you RMA it...
