A64s with no heatspreader?

[Shaocaholica]

I happened across this on newegg.

A64

It a A64 which is listed as "For DTR Notebooks" but its still socket 754 so I don't see why this can't be used in a desktop mobo. Can anyone confirm?

Edit: Linked. Auto parse my ass.

Man I'm tempted to buy it and see if it'll allow multi manipulation like the Barton-M's do. If it is a hand picked CPU I should be able to get a sweet overclock with it and the exposed core would help as well! Do I or don't I?!? :clock:

test it out... come on guys! poorer souls need to know

 

[UlricT]

ummmmm..... WTF?

"limit 0 per customer"

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Just tried to order it, it's sold out Someone have a link to results with this CPU?

 

[Shaocaholica]

Theres also a 3400 but its pretty expensive.

Maybe it means there isn't a limit?

Can you explain to me why a A64 with no heat spreader be of use? I really don't get it, lol. I can guess on "hand picked" meaning its rock hard stable. But what did the Barton-M's do?

*lost*

From the looks of the chip AMD has gone Intel's route and eliminated bridges. You would probably have to do everything with pin mods.

So how does it ramp clockspeed? I don't keep up with the Intel mobiles so school me

The Barton Mobiles are unlocked, where that would be useful with the A64 is boosting the multiplier so I could do higher clockspeeds without overclocking my ram and PCI bus. The IHS being absent allows for direct contact with the core which will result in better cooling despite manufacturers sometimes claiming otherwise. The hand picked part means that the mobiles can do the rated clockspeed on less voltage making them better overclockers, but with these A64 mobiles it looks like it's the same Vcore so that probably won't be applicable.

W/out a heat spreader, the HSF can make direct contact with the core, allowing for much more efficient cooling. There are tradeoffs, however. The spreader provides a larger area for the HSF to contact as well as protecting the core from inexperienced builders installing a HSF. No matter how large your spreader, though, the heat removal system as a whole will never be as efficient as a HSF that makes direct core contact.

An all copper HS or one with a copper inlay will spread the heat just as effectively if not better than any heatspreader.

Isn't it obvious no heatspreader so more room in the notebook.
