I burned up my first processor....

[davew0670]

and now I have bought nearly an entire new computer minus the hard drive. I've learned a valuable lesson.

 

[SaintGRW]

[davew0670]

Gigabyte 7N-400 Pro2

You bought a new computer because you burned up your food processor? What did you put in it that damaged the motor?

My 2500+ came yesterday. What did you do to kill this one, exactly?

Wait until you join the 3 in a row club with water cooling about 6 years ago. Pentium 3 450's baby.

What did u do? Those were not cheap back then either.

I was testing some memory and accidently pulled the fan plug out. Ran like a champ for 5 minutes or so.

2500+ is the best CPU out there right now
I have one of the first ones (factory unlocked)
what a great CPU

I almost fried mine last night. Had just moved around the hard drives, and one of the power cables got tangled in the CPU fan, and I didn't notice it. Thankfully the computer shut it self off, and I cracked the case, touch everything cause I could smell that something was warm, and lo and behold, the heatsink/fan were HOT. But I let it cool overnight and started it this morning, and all is well. Phew.

2500+ represent!

i love my 2500+...i have burnt up a 2200+ before, that was not fun

In my abit nf7-s I was dicking with the BIOS settings and I have it set to "alert" me if the CPU tops 55 celcius, and the computer to auto shut off if the cpu fan stops. I figure that the alert is really secondary in importance, because with the heatsink securely attached and the fan continuing to run, there is essentially no way to cause CPU damage, so I should be good. I did toast my HD last night, but it wasn't worth much.

sweet...Im pumped about getting this 2500! I have a 1700 that does 2.5 @ 1.85. Think it will do any better?

2500 rating, or 2500 mhz? As you know the bartons are clocked pretty low. A 2200 mhz barton is rated at 3200. I've heard of 2400-2500 mhz being around the max, but most should be able to hit 2200 or so. I only got mine in last night am and still dicking with the OS, so I have not overclocked mine yet.

Next time see if you can have the mobo auto-shutdown when the CPU gets above a certain temp or the fan stops running

You think you're stoked? I am replacing a celeron 1000

 

[Aharami]

wow i need to get a new CPU/mobo. im still running on the K7S5A and a pre-XP Athlon 4 @ 1.4Ghz

NO, I burned up my processor and I have no way to grind my beans.

I think I'll go buy a new computer.
