I once forgot to put back on an heatsink on my AMD AthlonXP 1800+ processor.
It didn't do anything like that, just burn, you can see on the core the burnt areas


Did it still run, or did you try to turn in the warranty?

Neither, it just fried and the motherboard got bust also I think.
I wasn't really bothered about it because I recently was given an AMD AthlonXP 2000+ at the time Razz
2 week ago, I upgraded to an AMD AthlonXP 2600+ I again forgot to put the HeatSink on, but luckily, I forgot to press the on switch on the PSU to whcih then I noticed I forgot to put it on Laughing
Its all 1337 now anyways Cool

Even though this can't possibly happen, this made me laugh so freakin' hard.

BTW, my CPU is never above 90º F, and it's an Athlon XP 2600. Wink

It's fake, I don't think a cpu can explode. It might start to melt, But when it's start melting, The cpu is damaged and the system will stop running.

Plus, That cooler/fan isn't working.
1: They pick it off such easy
2: The fan isn't spinning

I think we already comfirmed that it was fake. If you look closely in the movie, there is a string attached to the fan when he pulls it off.

Do you mean the power cable? Every CPU fan has a power cable, that doesn't prove anything. But that doesn't mean it's genuine either.

this video is such a fake i cant even watch it again, in my entire live ive never seen cpu exploding like that, and they took off cooler pretty easily, also u know how hard is to crash cpu into 3 pieces? overheating wouldnt break cpu into 3 pieces, nor make a hole in the motherboard,
also, this computer wasnt even hooked up to the monitor, what u can see on the monitor is proly from the different computer..


You took this video way too seriously my friend. How often do you get to see someone put explosives (firecracker) under a motherboard?

See thats what it was meant to do.

I watched this. They put a firecracker under the processor. You can see it through the hole in the table when they look through it. Why would a processor "vaporize" with a orange flame? A Processor won't burn so where is the flame from? There's your final verdict.
