Hey, I recently purchased a T. Bird 1Ghz chip for around 500 bucks. Says MADE IN MALAYSIA and has BLUE/GREEN Glassy core. The problem here is that after getting all my parts gathered, and assembled my computer, it turned on for like 50 secs and I started smelling something nasty. That hit me, so, I turned off the computer, took the peltier (CyberCooler, and It was installed in right direction), I took the CPU out, it got BURNT. The bottom part where it says WARRNTY VOID IF REMOVED sticker was burnt and the GLASSY core was grinded. My motherboard is Asus A7v, and I did not mess with any of the jumpers. I made sure that all jumper was in manufacturer's default, meaning it was jumperless. I mean, thank goodness I am getting it replaced, but I have no SLIGHT idea what caused the burn. If anyone could reply, it would be a major kicker in this situation.. I'm just afraid I might as well burn the other replacement out...
