a processor is laid to rest... =(

[toph99]

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]

[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
