Hmmmmm weird, I have never had a fan fail on me on an amd cpu like that an i run them in all my workstations here at work, 25+. I find them very stable an fast, even in a dusty environment like our plant offices are. jack malone network admin horizonindustries
In my experience the highspeed AMD chips run fine until that $10 cpu fan dies.
Then you get to replace the CPU, the motherboard, the RAM, and maybe one or two other things.
We bought several 2+ GHz AMD based machines a year ago. Three of them had fan failures and the resulting damage before we gave up on AMD.
We now use/buy only Intel. Intel chips handle a fan failure much more cleanly.
