no they are not, they are only going to replace the Q9650 and the QX cpuer.

These new cpus are not as good as many thinks and you can also read about that in some of the reviews the problem is the high price for the motherboards and also a little more for the memory makes them alot worse then the core 2 quads money wise.

It depends alot on what you are going to use them for but the lowest priced Core i7 with motherboard and memory will cost about 50% then a Q9550 system, so for many system like gaming you are way better of useing that money another place in your system.

Its inside the pipes:

"Liquid metal brings another advantage besides its efficiency. The properties of liquid metal make the use of an electromagnetic pump possible. Danamics’ patent pending multi-string pump delivers high flow combined with a very low power-draw of less than 1W. And compared to watercooling pumps, the electromagnetic pump used in LM10 cooler is hermetically sealed and has no moving parts, which means that no noise or vibration is added to the system from the electromagnetic pump. Also the pump is orientation independent, which ensures maximum flexibility for users and system integrators."

No need to post old stuff that turned out not to be true read this post:

To all those wo say its fake it for 100% sure aint fake maybe not 33% faulure rate is very high or it wouldnt be shown on popular new sites and the x360 forums got 1000+ with problems.

Also in France when your x360 go down u get a new cooling system for it why would they give that if its fake? I dont own one so havent had any problems but after reading 50+ post online about it im sure MS needs to do something soon.

The game Forza Motorsport 2 is also been reported alot on MS/x360 forum that it takes down the x360 and MS dont repair them all. And they are starting to delete the posts to ignore the problems.

"Xbox 360 Failure Rate: 30%, Says Retailers"

"A Sydney retailer said "Out the Nintendo Wii, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 the Microsoft product is the only one that we have had constant problems with. In fact when we sell the Xbox 360 we tell customers to contact Microsoft if they "Ever have a problem".

"At one stage we were getting calls everyday however this has slowed down. The failure rate must be well over 30% which when you look at a PC or iPod the failure rate is less than 2%."

Also look at the sales numbers bd is for sure selling most and they got most titles out now 269vs240. yes it says hd dvd got more comming then bd but that can change anytime and it dosent realy matter as they need some huge movies to come out to counter spiderman 3 and pirates 3 comming on BD later this year.
