habt):

While I don't know Bert, I have had the pleasure of meeting him and
you have seen his links here on the [H] many times.  On this
occasion I think Bert has been sucking the crack pipe a bit too
hard or either must have been in a terrible auto accident and had
his cranium lodged in his rectal cavity and did not notice before
he wrote the above statement.  

We have been running an over-volted overclocked Pentium4 with the
factory heatsink installed now for some time.  It has been running
here beside my desk folding proteins for Stanford University now
for a solid month and has stayed at 100% CPU utilization.  I track
its performance and I can assure you that it has not ever slipped
into the throttling that Bert speaks about above.  If Bert's apps
are running at 50%, it is because he does not have the sense to put
a heatsink on the CPU or either he is operating his P4 system in
Hell.  Bert is taking an Intel safety device and demonizing the P4
with it.  Here is what Intel PR George Alfs had to say about Bert's
statements.

Hi Kyle,
You can run benchmarks all day on a Pentium(R) 4 processor with the
benchmarks unaffected by the thermal protection circuitry. The key
is to have a robust heat sink and thermal solution. With the heat
sink setup we designed for Pentium 4 processor systems, I have yet
to see thermal protection kick in.
George.

I have to fully agree with George's statements and have a few
things to add.  Also, I think that "robust" need not be in his
statement.

What Bert may not know is that some mainboards have an adjustment
in the BIOS that you can set yourself with the temperature that you
want throttle to.  (On our systems we have left it at default and
never messed with the settings on the particular board that is
Folding.)  Yes, YOU can turn this on and off and fully control it
on some mainboards.  If you want a shield in between you and a
burned up processor, set it low; if you want to forego the safety
feature, set the temp high.  I know that MANY of you wished that
AMD had the courtesy to include a feature such as this instead of
leaving their Athlon and Duron CPUs totally unprotected.

We have never seen nor heard of the CPU throttling being active on
any person's CPU and certainly have not experienced it ourselves
(unless we FORCED it to happen) under conditions more strenuous
than 99.9% of the P4s in the field will ever encounter.  I do not
suggest that DIYers or hobbyist go the P4 route if they want to buy
a system for themselves, but bashing it on this front is simply bad
journalism and transparent to many people.  

We here at the [H] have a lot of respect for Bert McComas' work and
think he should step back up to the plate and possibly rephrase the
statements in regards to this issue.  Bert, we love you man, but
you were just totally out to show Intel in a bad light this time,
or were simply not thinking through the issue properly because you
are being misleading and it looks to us as if you were trying to do
it purposefully.  

UPDATE:  I have gotten a few emails that have told me that I don't
understand "clock throttling".  I am fully aware of what it is, how
it works, and how to identify if it is being used.  Just for the
record.  :)  My point here is not that what Burt is saying is
false, but he is making it sound as if anyone that ever uses their
P4 to its fullest potential will immediately be clock throttled and
that is far from the case.
