Pic of Melted processor

I didn't think the one's Tom's Hardware burnt were even that bad...though that's a 2800. Hehe, though I thought the T-Bird was one of the warmest processers made ;P

So the XP's don't have any thermal diods? What about newer AMDs? Beleive me, I'm not taking the HS off my A64 to see ;P
 
They do have them but they didn't react fast enough to detect an extremely rapid temperature increase
 
I don't know if that picture is actually real... First, it looks like someone pried up the chip and just dotted some solder under it. Second, the chip could never have its pins melted together in a ball like that. It looks nice but I'm sure soumone just stuck it over a flame thrower and droped some solder on it or something.

What chip? You mean the heat spreader?

Solder is commonly used as a thermal linkage to the heat spreader or the heat sink. Intel actually uses indium solder from the chip to the heat spreader.
 
Huhamam

Looks like there was some Arctic Silver on it. It seems to have meleted and leaked. I don't think the core would look anything like that when fried.

JAN :D
 
unless you don't put thermal compound on it will burn.

yeah, mine had no compound on it, but I ran it without a HS (fan was already not working so I figured why not just run it without a HS :D ).

Its the motherboard that shuts the system down, not the CPU. So if the CPU has a diode doesnt mean its safe

Thankfully the only "extremely rapid temperature increases" are generally "lets start the system up withou a HSF" -- actually if yer lucky you can get the thing to go to the bootlogo before the mobo kills it (yes ive tried)
 
well.. when my thunderbird 1333 buned o. you coldnt see anything on it. only the whole upper ege of the silicium was a bit broken.

You just wanted to see what would happen, didn't you??? lol

At first I thought it would run ok (this was way back when I didn't know jack about computers) but then.............yeah, I did it for fun.
