The cooling system on the chips was also
quite functional, and again was quite attractive in design. The Ultra
Durable 3 features also seem to add a lot of value and security, and I
believe that they actually add real engineering value to the product. It is
simple physics that the thicker the copper, the less the resistance. Less
resistance means lower heat produced and less energy expended as waste. Add
into the equation that the board is less expensive than the slightly more
limited Asus 790FX AM3 board, and users certainly have an attractive option
at the high end for AM3 parts."

the case we are examining today is the Element S, while the other

Intel and AMD have been going at one another for years. With AMD unable to compete well at the ultra high-end of the market, however, their focus shifted towards the mainstream market segments. As always, Intel responded and their most recent salvo comes in the form the affordable Core 2 Quad Q8400 processor. Since the Q9400, a 2.66GHz Yorkfield quad-core, was already on the market, why did Intel feel the need to release another, affordable quad-core model? One reason could be to increase yield and utilize dies that would otherwise be discarded. Another reason would be to position another product at the same price point as AMD's. Whatever the case may be, competition is always good for the consumer as it usually drives prices lower and provides more options to choose from. With that in mind, let's take a look at the Intel Core 2 Quad 8400 to see if it's worthy of consideration for your next build...

fixed cables/connectors. And let's not forget OCZ backs the Fatal1ty 700W
