In short: Very bad for Intel (especially with the news that the CEO sold off $24m worth of shares about a week or two before the vulnerability was publicized), This has to be insider trading.

No. Not unless his fans are doing something funny, which they could well do, considering that he has 13 of them. The way you build a normal ATX-format PC is simple and requires no more than one, maybe two extra, low power, silent fans. Rather modest airflow through is enough to keep the PC cool. The thing to be observant about is that the air pressure inside the box must not be more than very, very marginally lower than outside. How do you check that? Pay attention to airflow through PSU and case temperature. The case should be absolutely cool. It shouldn't even be lukewarm. And there should be a healthy exhaust airflow out from the PSU, keeping it cool. If it isn't, what could be the problem? Too many and too powerful exhaust fans. What do you do about it? Open more & bigger inlets at the front. Removing a cover or two at empty drive bays is the easiest way. That should allow enough airflow through the case even with weak exhaust fans. And if it's cool inside, the CPU-cooler should work properly, keeping the CPU cool. Hdd's could become too warm if installed 'funny', but they're not a relevant heat source. The biggest heatsource in a gaming- or workstation- PC is the graphics card. Normally the graphics cool themselves and you need only pay attention to where it dumps the heat. If it has its own exhaust your only worry is if you have enough inlets, as I've mentioned above. spinners will get hot (like burning to the touch hot) if you dont have air flowing over them and there doing a lot of work, ssd's can also get hot if there doing a lot of work, and nvme drives get hot even just sitting there powered on never mind if your working them (which is why you can buy aftermarket cooling solutions for them that also need fan coverage for best results) air pressure inside the case should be above standard room pressure to keep dust out of the case, exhaust fans are irrelevant the air has to get out and will leave through every nook and cranny available including the giant grill on the back of the case, your better off having 2 or 3 fans sucking air in the front (through a dust filter) and one sucking air up through the bottom of the case (through a dust filter) all running at decent speeds than having any exhaust fans, positive internal pressure wants to get out so it gets out wherever it can, if you have fans on the exhaust you can create negative pressure in the case and harm cooling efforts as air is dragged in to fill the void from every nook and cranny ... i have 5x mini fans(20>50mm) inside my case pushing air into things like the motherboard heat sinks the ram heat sinks the hard drives (to keep them below 40 degrees c) and 4 x 140mm inlet fans with zero exhaust fans, warm air floods out of my case from all over the place because my inlets are creating positive pressure inside the case lots of cool air being sucked out of the room at large and then pushed back into it creating a lovely heat flow in the room, my pc will heat up my room by several degrees without any problems and its a fairly modest system, fx8350 @4.5Ghz with a rx480 @stock without the cooling fans on the drives they get up to 40 degrees on idle and under load (like when i did some video editing) spiked up to 60 degrees, optimum temp for them is 30>35 so temp reactive fans running on them keep them going at nice 35 degree average , the mobo fans keep the vrms below 60 whilst the cpu is pulling max power and the gfx card stays under 65unless the room is above 30 degrees (but thats a horrible temp to be sat in and when the room goes above 25 i just open the door so air circulates round the house) Yes. Inlet fans and positive internal pressure is entirely workable. The important thing is not to have too low internal pressure - and that tolerable margin of negative pressure is very small. The only problem with only inlet fans is that you don't control the airflow, and it won't be a particularly silent PC. But normally you should have the exhaust through the PSU and graphics so you should be alright. But they will do nothing for your dust, unless you have filters on all of your fans. P.S. I note that you have a FX CPU: Have you upgraded to Windows 10? And did you notice a performance increase when you did? Asking because Win10's scheduler supposedly handles FX core multithreading more correctly.

That's a long time to have your shares locked up, and it would have been longer if journalists hadn't lifted the lid on this thing. But hey, you wanna be an insider, it comes with rules, right?

As long as he continues to play ball with the US intelligence apparatus, I highly doubt anything of consequence will happen to him.

The 'fix' could/will make things run up to 30% slower? Yeeeaaahhh...
Still not sure if AMD/ARM chips are affected because every article I read says something different. Regardless, really glad I put off upgrading my old i5 2500. Still works fine for what I need it to do.
Guess we have to wait until the embargo is up to find anything else out?

A script kiddy with the attack code can steal your passwords and ANY data that is stored in memory. Can anti-viruses prevent it? No. The 'fix' could/will make things run up to 30% slower? Yeeeaaahhh... Still not sure if AMD/ARM chips are affected because every article I read says something different. Regardless, really glad I put off upgrading my old i5 2500. Still works fine for what I need it to do. Guess we have to wait until the embargo is up to find anything else out? 1) Your 2500 is affected by this. Make sure your OS is up to date as both Windows and Linux now have patches that help prevent the main 'Meltdown' exploit, but apparently more work is required on Intel's side to completely fix the issue. 2) The 30% figure comes from applications and tasks used by businesses and datacenters. The performance impact for regular home users appears to be negligible. 3) The Google team disclosed three separate vulnerabilities. 'Meltdown' is one of them, and it only affects Intel CPUs. The other two comprise 'Spectre', and here is where AMD and ARM is also affected. AMD says that their processors are only affected by one of the two variants of Spectre, and ARM has issued a release stating that some of their proccesors are affected by both variants of Spectre.

I know it's affected, what I meant was I'm glad I didn't spend money on a new one yet. 4th/5th/8th gen cpu's have a workaround that makes it not so bad although you will notice performance drops (quite severe ones wiht older cpu's) when doing things like file transfers from disk ot disk or backup tasks the "meltdown fix" primarily affects I/O interactions which means it hurts the pci bus than the sata bus ..... and older than 4th gen cpu's dont have the hardware workaround (forget its name) and the 6/7th gen cpu's are borked due to another problem which means they need ht disabled to be secure so there loosing up to 50% performance (something about the IME) although that might not affect all hardware in those generations.... but if your mobo supports that feature then it affects your rig.... and yeah regardless patch up that bitch today games running new api's dont seem to suffer but older dx9>11 nobody seems to be pushing out benchmarks for it which leads me to believe it gets borked due to the pci slowdown..... of ocurse this could all be down to intel needing to do something about cannon lake not being up to standard (its slower than kabylake due to poor fin/fet implementation) if your looking to replace your cpu (which also means replace you mobo) then i would suggest waiting a few weeks for the zen 2 release and get one of those to side step this whole intel debacle which will likely run on for a few more years

amd cpu's are not susceptible unless your running .nix and disable two cpu features in the bios and enable a third cpu feature in the bios all of which combine together to kill your cpu performance (so its not fucking likely) on top of that a certain well known " help program" that many useless "gamers" like to utilise actually uses side channel attack features and it doesn't work on amd cpu's unless you change your bios settings to make it work and change various registry keys in windows to enable its use... how do i know it uses side channel you ask, well i used it in a vm so that the game security didn't detect it as running in the same user space ... it was still able to work.... which tells me a few things, one of which is that the "by design" nature of anthill cpu's is they were designed with this program in mind and the 10% performance boost that made them competitive didn't hurt either.... .Nix?

Most of the fun is to play and beat the game not to god-mode the game. .nix is used normally to refer to any variation or distro /build of Linux /unix etc and yes some folks like to take all the fun out of playing games ..... others use the tools from within that to data mine things from within game code like hp values and such when there not posted by the devs (cos we all know game devs like to slip in random stealth changes to things and then pretend that nothing has changed....) like when a certain game company "tweaked" settings through server push (so no client downloads) for a multiplayer component of a certain game that say tripled the shield and health of a certain enemy type when they saw it getting killed to easy through weakpoint hits (they also disabled weakpoint hits on that particular enemy as well) midway through ha weekend event in the not so distant past.... or when they alter the dps of a gun but dont change its listed values on the inventory screen so your hurricane goes from uber leet never pug without it weapon choice to struggles to 1 clip a bronze level mook...... and yes they actually did that during the abomination nuclear weekend ........ never saw so many missions fails in London before that weekend

So this is not related to the Play-Station Portable and is related to actual computer processors? Knew Sony made a mistake with that name.

.Nix? Isn't that Linux or a deviation of such? Also what "help program"? Is that referring to a program to cheat in games? If so why do people need to "help" games. Most of the fun is to play and beat the game not to god-mode the game. .nix is used normally to refer to any variation or distro /build of Linux /unix etc and yes some folks like to take all the fun out of playing games ..... others use the tools from within that to data mine things from within game code like hp values and such when there not posted by the devs (cos we all know game devs like to slip in random stealth changes to things and then pretend that nothing has changed....) like when a certain game company "tweaked" settings through server push (so no client downloads) for a multiplayer component of a certain game that say tripled the shield and health of a certain enemy type when they saw it getting killed to easy through weakpoint hits (they also disabled weakpoint hits on that particular enemy as well) midway through ha weekend event in the not so distant past.... or when they alter the dps of a gun but dont change its listed values on the inventory screen so your hurricane goes from uber leet never pug without it weapon choice to struggles to 1 clip a bronze level mook...... and yes they actually did that during the abomination nuclear weekend ........ never saw so many missions fails in London before that weekend Thought so. Thanks for clarification. As to the multiplayer fiasco.... All the more reason for:::------>>> DIE MP DIE!!!!!!!!!
I will not be controlled nor toyed with!
Is this true for solo games too?

All my security consultant friends have been dealing with this since Wednesday. I'm so glad I don't do IT.

Time for everyone to revert to the 1980's and start over again.

Yeah, you need a no-Internet PC and an internet-connected one (PC or a good enough tablet that does the job). Yet you need to manually download and update the antivirus installed in the no-Internet one.
