Something's gotta give though. Web reviewers are reporting that the Prescott 3.6s run so hot that they constantly throttle down to performance ~ 2.6GHz northwoods in CPU-taxing apps (scientific stuff for example). Intel oems are going to have to find something cooler than the retail hs but not any louder if they are going to deliver the performance consumers want and meet OSHA/EU workplace noise level limits. Water starts to make sense at this point doesnt it?
