I hate to burst your bubble, but...

1) The CPU was clocked way above what was remotely possible with an off the shelf heatsink and no working fan.

2) The hole punched in the mobo was perfectly round, very unlikely with a processor "explosion"

3) A heatsink under stress with no fan does become very warm, certainly too warm to reach in with your bare hand and grab off the mobo. Those of you who dont believe me, turn off your CPU fan, wait a few mins, then touch your heatsink.

and if this wasn't enough...

4) The cable leaving the video card is black. The cable entering the monitor is white. :confused:

This was an obvious fake.

Edit: I am not liable for any damages, to health or property, if you follow the directions given in step 3.

SUPER OCed duron. heatsink fan dies (i think it is real). They take off heatsink. Airpocket under processor causes processor to explode, and a hole in mobo. It is extreme!

it died, but look at how he takes the fan off......no effort.....


and it looks like he grabs the heatsink metal which at the time would also be very hot.

are you calling shens? How would he set this up then? Also, it's amazing nobody got hurt. Flying shrapnel would seriously injure you.

firecracker, shens to tha max

If you guys look at the intel video starting from 48secs, be sure to look at the bottom of the video where the table is, you will notice something move right before the guy removes the heatsink (which I think is where he lighted the firecracker.

Yup, when I first saw the P4 video I was very confused how he could remove the HSF from the metal part at the end of the video because one time on my Willamante 1.7ghz P4, I have a heat sink on it which is covered by a duct and a fan mounted on the case removes the heat and when I touched the Heatsink on cpu while I had the fan off, I got a very very hot sensation on my finger (burned).

seen it before to that wouldnt really happen

check out toms hardware if you want to see the real deal. they take off the heatsink on several processors AMD heat up!
