Um, last I read, AMD had fixed the thermal meltdown issue on their CPUs after the Tom's Hardware video. Once the generally uninformed user population read the article and saw the video, they cringed and AMD knew they had to do something quickly.

There was a design issue due to lack of communication for whatever reason with mobo makers if memory serves me correct, and AMD had since made detailed design info available to resolve the thermal meltdown issue.

Am I wrong here? I'd swear the thermal meltdown issue was fixed going forward, but I'm not going to gamble my CPUs to test it. I just wanted to mention that because I know that the overheating issue was addressed.
