Remember THG's video? AMD bites back!!!!

Now this is VERY interesting.

AMD have released their own video to show how the Palomino copes with fan failure & HSF removal. I must admit though that they are using a board that SUPPORTS the Palomino's thermal sensor (unlike Tom Pabst's) so it can't really be held as a direct comparison.

Very interesting though, especially as AMD have announced that they are ceasing production of the AMD76x chipset that has the monitoring support!!!!

Thanks for the link, Darren.

They sure do :D :D :D

But what happens if the LED doesn't work :D :D :D

Lemme get this straight: Isn't the LED just an indicator light? I mean, the system has already shut itself down. There's no user intervention required, so the light only lets the user know something is wrong.

I was too busy watching the LED to take any notice of teh screen :D :D

AMD seems to be working a lot with nvidia on chipsets now..I think they'll be implementing this into nForce. And then VIA can pay X amount of dollars to implement it into their chipsets. and then the smaller guys like Sis and ALi will get a hold of it. :)

and AMD are discontinuing this chipset? that doesnt make any sense if it works then why bin it?? :confused: :confused:
oh well..
