d@mn, I didn't realize they could explode like that. I figured it would just melt down and short out.

Ummm yeah. *BS*

First off you'd never get a Duron to boot into windows @ 3.818 GHz @ 4.210 VCore. Its simply not gunna happen. ESPECIALLY on a crappy aluminum heatsink, not even attached to the processor with no fan spinning. The hole in the table? Twas not blown by the CPU. It was the loading point for an M-80 or whatever they shoved in there.

Retards. I"ll bet it gets lots of people going though.

yeah, its natural to want to believe that such extreme volts/overclock would result in such a dramatic explosion if its liquid nitrogen super cooling somehow was suddenly reversed, but its a simple alluminum heatsink - albeit not even attached to the CPU and the fan has "failed"...now unless experement took place in the middle of Antarctica in the middle of July...

Ofcourse to run @ 3.8GHz with a 12.5 multiplier, you'd need a FSB of over 300MHz, something I don't know of any old K7 motherboard capable of doing, and certainly not with the stock passive aluminum heatsink and stock volts on the chipset.

Someone should make a spoof using a Pentium D to start a campfire or something, perhaps use it to fry some eggs...
