I was called into a old company after they had a PC downgraded (the old stuff i built fried with a over powering PSU, so the company who rebuilt the system Downgraded it by 300htz lol) anyway because i work next door to them and still friends he asked me to come look at it to see why it was crashing within minutes - remember they have had this pc back for 1 whole day..... i looked into the bios to check the temps this is what i found


CURRENT CPU = 127C / 260 F CANT REMEMBER IF IT WAS 127c BUT IT WAS DEFINATLY 260f - i thought holy **** and shut it down, now the temps for this little PIII 500 with a cooler master (plastic HSF) didnt stack up lol - so i put a portable aircon system blowing inside the case and its now seems a stable - so do you thing its a fan header problem ? or the MB or what?

Yes the HSF was running @ 4564RPM, ah well it isnt my problem so i just wondered what you thought or if this is the highest temps ever (oh and the chip still works)

I highly, HIGHLY doubt it was really that hot. The inside of the chip would've melted, and it probably wouldn't work again, even with an air conditioner blowing on it.
