Re: How much does the motherboard's PCB help dissipate heat?
Thanks guys. The reason I asked was that in another forum I'm having a disagreement (well, I'm trying to be logical, the other guy is IMO borderline insulting) regarding ATX versus micro ATX motherboards. Yes, mundane topic, but this guy's as bad as people who argue over AMD versus Intel, or ATI versus Nvidia. He maintains that the physically larger PCB of ATX keeps the CPU running cooler. Here's how it went:

How much does the motherboard's PCB help dissipate heat? For instance, [I]all else being equal[/I] would a CPU run cooler on an ATX board versus say a micro ATX board strictly from the size of the motherboard?

Re: Power supply build quality pictorial
The last sexy unit in our photo shoot today is a discontinued unit from A+GPB. Indeed that company doesn't even exist anymore, being morphed or absorbed into Athena Power. Anyhoot, she's perhaps the sleekest and sexiest looking unit in the lineup with a nice tan to boot. However, I think her tan was artificial because it was easily scratched up when my "tool" slipped. Also, she didn't look too pretty after I was done with her. I left her all covered in my fingerprints, haha. Gosh, why do I feel like I need a bath now? Well, she...Last edited by Zap; 05-18-2006, 10:26 PM.Leave a comment:
