How many CPUs have you damaged?

[starlitt]

My partner recently got me a CPU and he burnt it. Hopefully the Mobo is not damaged...it had the worse smell ever! It was a learning experience for him and money in the toliet.

 

[prodigy]

None.... yet.

 

[VoodooExtreme]

nada

 

[NforSa]

none, and they have all been oc'ed and overvoltaged
iv gone through:
AMD 5x86 133 @ 160mhz
Cyrix P-150
Intel 200mmx @ 250mhz
AMD k6-2 350 @ 460mhz
AMD Athlon 500 @ 700mhz
and my current cpu is AMD Duron 600mhz @ 1ghz

they're all still working fine (even the 5x86) in friends and relatives computers

I killed a Cyrix MII PR300 by running it for 10 minutes without a heatsink

 

[Czar]

None, though a friend of mine destroyed his 700mhz Athlon 6-9 months ago, chipped of a resistor.

 

[starlitt]

What actually happened:

He did not put the heatsink on and he did not lock down the cpu. Lesson's learned

One it was K6-2 300 runing at 124*5 at 3.3V Vcore.

 

[wjones]

None here

 

[Asha'man]

Strange enough, none. I even took an old p133, painted the pins with a black marker, washed it off in the sink with water and soap. Drained the CPU in water. Oddly, it still works....!

As everyone else have a couple of overclocked and overvoltaged CPUs. None has died on me. Yet
Cya all

one was a 486 that I put backwards because I wanted to see if it had protection (it was a spare/throwaway thing at the time)

the other was a Cyrix PR150L that I didn't have a working MB for and decided to take a dremil to.

An AMD K6-2/500 at work a couple months back. I'm not real sure what happened, but three of the pins were somehow melted. oh well.

 

[Gorgonzola]

a cyrix 166mhz, died from overheating. but because it was a cyrix im skeptical about wether i actually had anything to do with it overheating, or wether it was just a POS. i go with option number 2

 

[Balt]

None, but let's just say my coppermine isn't EVER going to be coming out of that slocket
