a processor is laid to rest... =(

my friend just informed me that one of the 486 66's he was running for me has died. we suspect overheating 🙁
the good news to all of this is that he hasn't flushed any blocks from the other two 486's or his PII 233 for a long time, so it may give a little booste for the Cube 🙂

this just reminded me to ask a question... How hot can those 486's and Pentiums run before they fry?

I don't know about the 486's but for the Pentium II's if you have an S code number you can find out their limits here

RIP 486 66

Many 486 systems were built with only a heatsink and no fan, so overheating could sometimes be a bit of a problem.

well it at least got a few blocks flushed before it's untimely demise. i doubt he will add a fan to the other's, as all they were doing was collecting dust in his closet 😉 anyways, if you're still here Russ, you can knock one of the 486's in my herd off(if you haven't done it already 😛)

maybe the power supply died.. my old PB 486 died suddenly but I tried a new power supply and wala the ol PB still runs like new.. 🙂

 

[toph99]

nope, the cpu was fried, you could tell :Q

 

[toph99]

In the Federation, we shoot dead CPU's out into space thru the torpedo tube.

 

[Assimilator1]

LOL 🙂,is that at Borg cubes? to do their finally attack?

 

[Viztech]

I think the Borg use Dead CPUs to add to their armour..

 

[Train]

no i was referring to Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan, at the end they shot Spock out in a torpedo during his funeral.

 

[Assimilator1]

hehe ,I know ,but I thought you might of aimed 'the coffin' at a Borg cube 😉

 

[Train]

Na, i like the Borg, The TA Cubes anyways, its those Dutch ships my weapons are aimed at 😉
