Alrighty, i figure this will amuse some of you, it sure amused me at the time. Ok, so i had a athlon xp 1900 and some abit mb, i forget which. Anyway, so i was using the crapper, as i liked to call it, it and i never did get along, but that is another story, and it just turned off. I kicked it a couple times(these were loving kicks of course) and it didnt start. So i unplugged old crapper and plugged him back in and he started. So i was pleased once again. But then the blasted thing did the same thing. I cursed a few times then figured i should open him up and peer around his innards. Low and behold he was hotter than Jennifer Lopez in cancun! I wondered to myself: "Dang crapper, what has gotten into you?". I then felt the heatsink fan. Jesus Mary and Joseph, that was one hot hunk of metal! I then decided to just leave the case open, thatll do the trick i thought. It lasted a little longer this time, but good lord did it heat up the room. In 30 minutes it went from a nice comfortable room to a scorching pit of hell! So then i thought to myself: "Evan, you must save ol' crapper, he has been with you too long." But how? Then it struck me. I had a GIGANTIC warehouse fan in my garage, which had been used to cool off a hs gym nearby. I put two and two together and soon i had old crapper on his side with the fan, which ill refer to as "the monster" blowing like the dickens at him. This actually worked! He ran like Forest Gump from those mean old bullys. And by ran i mean run, as in, well, you know, run. Computers just run, dont ask me to explain it, this story is already making me tired, i need some bengay and a nap. Well, anyway, now that i had my own little turbine cooling old crapper, he did fine, and although im sure i lost some of what little is left of my hearing, old crapper lived another two weeks until my new hsf arrived. Oh yeah, the problem, by the way, was that i had broken one of the fans fanblades, and it had jammed. I figured this out a week later and ripped it off, and then it vibrated like there was no tomorrow. So i ripped another off on the other side and it was more bearable, especially considering the monster was running next to it. When i pulled off the old hsf, the thermal paste was pretty charred and it had some funny looking burn marks on it, but it miraculously survived, and, in fact, i am writing this on old crapper right now! He is still alive and well, in case you were worried. Quite an adventure indeed.

Boy meets cpu
cpu gets very hot
boy puts very big fan next to cpu
boy and cpu live happily ever after
echo this, I could tell you about the time I modified my freezer to cool my cpu but you wouldn't be interested unless you could actually see the craziness
Hahaha, sorry guys, no pictures, I obviously wasnt thinking clearly, you know, the potential loss of ol' crapper had me worried. Oh, and by the way, bengay is muscle and joint relief for oooold people. It is not pleasant stuff. Im not that old though, it was a facetious remark. 
Actually, now that i think about it, my friend may have taken a couple pictures, ill look into that.
Why not just spend around 20 seconds of your own time to actually read it - I mean, I know attention spans are short over there but honestly...!
