Documentation on how the Intel CPUs are suffering from too much leakage and not enough cooling.
While the newer Prescotts (6xx series) may do better, but those unfortunate souls who already own one still have to deal with their space heater of a PC. It's a shame aftermarket cooling is necessary to make your Prescott CPU reach its full potential.

It's a bloody disgrace - particularly as your warrantee is void if you use a better heatsink.....grrr.
