[QUOTE=FINLEY;25784959]955 will really struggle to get to 4GHz although it should get to 3.9[/QUOTE]
It doesn't struggle that bad. Its just unstable.
I've overclocked one of them myself and at about 3.95 windows was crashing frequently and randomly. Any further and I don't think it would have loaded windows
[QUOTE=Axiom :D;25627622]I can overclock my 980x to 4.4 Ghz on air.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, and why do we give a shit?
He can overclock it to 4.4 Ghz but he can't install a CPU cooler

Well technically he *can* do it, he'll just fry it when he tries. Oh wait, I mean his dad will because he installed the cooler wrong. Scratch that, it was his brother flashing the mobo. Wait, it was the mobo manufacturer for making a bad heat sink. I think that was his last one anyways. When he gets back from being banned, we can find out what new and exciting stories he has about why he failed.
[QUOTE=ghostofme;25700822]The amount of heat that a CPU puts off isn't limited to brand. There are many variables.
-Room temperature.
-Stock or third party heat sink.
-Thermal paste that is applied (stock or third party.)
-Case's airflow capabilities.
-Amount of dust in the heat sink.
-How many Watts the CPU is.
-What you set your voltages to.
-Etc...[/QUOTE]
none of those have anything to do with how much heat the CPU puts out besides the "amount of watts the CPU is" (you mean its tdp?) and voltage.
TDP isn't the actual wattage of processor, it's just reference to see how much thermal your cooling system needs to dissipate to avoid reaching maxium temperature the CPU is desinged for.
Actual wattage depends on voltage and current P = U * I where P= Power/Wattage, U= Voltage and I= Amperage.

um ok

[QUOTE=ghostofme;25722684]Hah. You are very ignorant.
With a heavy OC on a CPU you would get at least 3 years on it.
Also, I earned my own money through hard work, and paid for my computer myself. I've also bought my first two cars with my own money, and all my clothes. I bought my first car when I was 13, and none of the money I used was just handed to me for being a good kid. I actually had to sweat for it. So don't just assume that everyone has their parents pay for their computers.
Thats ignorance to the extreme.[/QUOTE]
A car at 13? I sure hope you weren't driving at that time.
Edit: Kudos on getting one with your own money at that age though.
I just blue screened at 3.8. Going down to 3.7 now, darn it.

So you're telling me that two heat sinks will cool the CPU the exact same way and results in the same temperatures?

I didn't get my license till I was 16. So I let my older sister use it to commute to college until I got it.
It was a pretty decent car too, not the best, but far from being a junker.

those are methods of transferring heat, the CPU is still outputting the same amount no matter what
