I'll just quote myself from the other thread dealing with this:
Yeah, when it comes to processor reviews, you really have to look out on Tom's. They'll do a lot of interesting things to make it seem like Intel always wins. Every now and then they can't get around it, but usually they'll trick the readers into thinking that that Intel processors are *always* better. For instance, I've read a few reviews where Tom's will OC a P4 until it's better than the new AMD chip that came out, and then not change the color on the graph so it looks like a regular P4, just so the P4 is on top. Umm, the Athlon is at stock and the P4 is OC'ed...of course the P4 is gonna win.
Oh, and while those videos were pretty damn funny (I'm almost wondering if they were a joke ), nothing like that EVER happens. I've been a computer dork for years now, and I've never, not even ONCE heard of a heatsink fan simply falling off. If it does, it's your fault for installing it wrong. In that article, just about everything was completely biased without reasoning. Oh well, Tom's is a lot better in the more recent articles. Their videocard tests are VERY reliable as well.
