Barton Core?

I've heard that a 2500+ Barton Core does not need a heatsink/fan is
this true and why? or where can I find out.

I'm sure the heatsink/fan would be a good thing to have but is it safe
and effective to have a 2500+ Barton core wuthout them?

Thanks,
JJ

Absolutely UNTRUE. You will likely fry your processor if you do not have
*both* a heatsink and a fan.
I believe the later XP's may have some kind of automatic shutdown thing
installed which will turn itself off if it ges too hot - I may well be
wrong. Even if it does, without a HSF, the temperatures would rise
ridiculously high within seconds of turning it on.

Under no circumstances try it without an HSF installed - unless you fancy
buying a new processor

sure u can avoid a fan n heat sink... what are u options then??

a)liquid nitrogen?? (the stff terminator fraggs merucry man with!!)

a)water cooled?? (id discourage u frm choosing this... plumbing is expesive!!)

dry ice??? (well its non wet ice...!!!)

movin somewhere north... waaay north!!! (expensive if ur movin bag n baggage!!)

as much as this is not teribly relivent

the non scientificly savvy may like to know

'Dry Ice' is EXACTLY the same as 'Liquid Nitrogen' just one has a much
cooler name ('Liquid Nitrogen')

Actually, 'dry ice' is frozen carbon dioxide.
