i did a service call today, coppermine P3 machine, CPU fan quit working...

It didn't survive 130C you put it onto the wrong sensor/setting or you can't tell the difference between Fahrenheit & Celsius. Then again lying is most likely.
 
why the hell would i lie about something like this.... i could show you a pic of the HS im going to bring tommorow, that's about the only thing i could do so show you guys something related....i should have taken a screenshot....

only two temp were detected by speedfan, one looked like a mobo temp, it was in the low 40's, and the other was the cpu temp... and like i said it was idling at 105C, and when i ran the 2M super pi calc and watched the temp it jumped to 130C before i could hold the power button down long enough to turn it off...after that i opened her up and realized the problem.
 
It's called Thermal Throttling, that's why the comp will either run dog-slow or turn off when temperature exceeds certain degrees. All cpu's starting with p3-generation and from athlon xp's on have that feature.

No problem captain ass! I actually had celeron 667mhz fan wire disconnected and everything was slowing down using 3dmark 2000, so then the silicon (or some type of thermal padding perhaps 😛) melted and become fused with the heatsink. The processor was still working though

Please... do everyone a favor and die immediately
 
I remember the Tom's video where the took a P3, P4, Athlon TBird, and Athlon XP and unplugged the CPU fan while playing Quake III. The P3 throttled a little bit, then gave an "Illegal Operation" right before hanging at around 80 C. There's no fucking way it was at 105C and running, let alone 130.

Speaking of that video, I thought the P4 was fucking cool. It throttle all the way down to like a 1x multiplier, Quake turned into a slideshow, then as soon as they plugged the fan back in and it cooled down it went right back up to a regular framerate.

zanejohnson does the crackzors, pass it on.
 
I had a similar experience with a slot a athlon 900mhz. The PC would boot and sit at the desktop, but anything more stressful would cause it to shutdown immediately. It had a spring tension clip that attached the HSF to a bigger HS on the CPU. The frame that provided the tension for the clip was plastic, so that when the fan died, it literally got just hot enough to melt the plastic and allowed the clip to sink into it enough that it lost its grip and the HSF fell off completely. I found a used replacement HSF (since the old one would no longer clip on anymore) at a local pc shop and replaced the fan with a new one and it is still running fine.
 
what amazes me is you claim to have this huge high paying job and you are goingout on house call.s


not to mention the 105C is NOT going to happen. most likely you had C and F confused or you are lieing (wich i am willing to bet).
