morbid curiosity

I wanna see what happens when you run a P4 (Prescot) without a fan or a heatsink, and preferably without a heatspreader on the chip. And without any case fans.

Someone do it and post pics and movies!!!

You should put a skillet on the top and put an egg in it and see if the egg fries.

Perhaps, everyone is so up about keeping their computer as cool as possible. How bout making a computer as warm as possible? Put your computer in your oven and set it to broil, then throw a couple of dried out logs in the oven just for extra effect. I bet you could get some mad OC in those conditions.

Well, it just shuts down. There's no flames or smoke, it simply shuts down.

this might happen if you increase the voltage alot and overclock the poop out of it with no heatsink or fan

no flames or smoke? How lame.

In the future they should make CPU's that run on flames. Imagine how cool that would look inside your case.

I bet a prescot shoots twice as far and does it in a fireball!

Maximum PC had some Pictures a few years ago of a processor with a fan that overheated (I think it was AMD). Well to make a long story short, the socket melted and the most of the solder did too. The guy woke up in the morning to find his HSF and CPU lying on the bottom of his case with a plastic goo spread between where his CPU once was.

wow, how old are you?

 

[imported_MooGoo]

never to old to enjoy seeing things blow up!

 

[chinkgai]

i think since you are the most interested one here, that you should volunteer the machine you are currently typing on for the sacrifice to quell your thirst

Whenever I try and watch that video windows media plays it as an audio file and I just get the stupid visualzations.

You need a divx codec. I suggest downloading one of the K-Lite Codec packs at http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm .

 

[thanatos355]

play it with divx, nero showtime, videolan, etc.

 

[ecvs85]

actually is is encoded using xvid codec
