Thanks for the info. I know those Intel cpus usually run hot. I planed on asking how he was cooling it. I knew the video was old but didn't know it would be a problem for HD

Maybe new is better anyhow. Thanks very much for all the info. Not sure why I looked at it anyhow. I really like the latest AMD chips better than anything Intel has.

Yes and the wattage used makes them run a lot cooler than anything intel has out there at the moment, so you can get away with less noisy cooling.
