AMD 690G chipset is incredibly hot, wastes electricity & time
nVidia & VIA chipsets are far cooler, I'll avoid AMD chipsets
after this Asus M2A-VM : I had to tape 7 hsinks, fit 1 fan to cool this mboard 's pll ic & 4 regulators & 1 chip & chipset's 2 small hsinks. Luckily my small psu can cope so I need not buy a bigger psu. Its ATI ide*controller is 30-40x as hot as VIA kt266a 's, yet is slower : my Maxtor ata133 hdd could score 61000+ kb/s in Disk Checker using kt266a & applebred (K7), but just 52000 + kb/s using ATI 's *& LE1620 (K8). @12x200, LE1620 can work @1.025v, its default 1.25v is far higher than necessary, will waste electricity & produce useless heat if user & mboard does/can not use 1.025v @ which this cpu already reaches 45șC during idle if 690G north bridge's heat is fanned upward toward cpu. @1.25v, cpu may get hot enough to jam ( my applebred jams by 49șC ). |

I built a system for my son with that exact mainboard with an AMD 5000+ Black edition which runs at 3.3Ghz (with a vcore bump) along with an eVGA 9600GT card and two 500gig SATA drives. It's truly stunning the amount of heat this system dumps into a room....but it's a really good budget build otherwise. Hate to have it in a room in summer without a/c though. |

Really it is one of the failure models of AMD Processors. But I know this is not having such a bad product in its past.
