that video is stupid and has been passed around as 'real' for some time. It is fake, it is impossible and you should feel silly for believing it.
What part of that video is believable? the duron running at 4.2v? how about 3800mhz? how about hte fact the cpu fan wasnt spinning? how about how it exploded when what inside the chip is explosive? do you beleive it actually blew a hole in the table? cmon now, people cant be that gullible

I think they have found that it was fake. The HSF is of crappy quality and the fan isn't spinning. I believe it was a hack or Photoshop for the speed, runny from another computer. No way with that setup can they get a duron up thaat high.

The hole above all is the big thing, you can believe that the expansion of the CPU could cause the CPU to "explode but if it blows up and put like it woul there would be no damage to the table. And if it blew down their still wouldn't be a gapping hole like that. Also how can you just remove the HSF like that, if it was that insecure it wouldn't have been able to cool the CPU to allow it to hit 3.8 GHz.
