Running AMD 1 GHZ with no Heatsink and fan

[Madman34]

How long do you think it would take to fry a 1GHZ AMD if
you ran it with no Heatsink or fan?

 

[jaybert]

i think someone tried that, and it was 8 seconds

 

[Bartman39]

Just why would you even consider doing this...? Fireworks are a lot cheaper...

 

[Leth]

About 8 seconds

i guess some people just have more money to waste than others...i hope this isn't your way of making tbird keychains.

 

[DARRIN]

Why don't you give it a try and let us know.

 

[lenjack]

8 seconds is right.

 

[Bartman39]

Hehehehe all you have to ride a bull is 8 seconds right??? Wonder which is better or worse...?

 

[CrimsonWolf]

I think it's about 8 seconds for a 1Ghz chip.

I know Kyle from HardOCP managed to torch a 1.2Ghz T-Bird in less than 2 seconds w/o a heatsink and fan.

jesus... i cant imagine investing that much in a processor just to see it burn up in a puff of smoke...

Well at least yougot a new keychain out of it if you do

 

[Rand]

From 5-13 seconds depending on how well cooled the case is.

You have got waaaay to much money to waste if your really considering doing this.
A T-Bird would make a beautiful keychain though

I actually have some experience with this subject. A guy at work offered to test out my 800 T'Bird to help me debug my new system (ASUS A7V133a wouldn't boot). I gave him the processor and the H/S/F. He stated that he put it in his ASUS A7V *without the H/S* and booted it. He said it loaded into Windows, and then started to smoke, probably from Arctic Silver that was still on the core. He quickly shut it off and yanked the processor out. It took an hour before his mobo would boot again!

And my processor still works. Maybe a new way of "burning in" a T'Bird...

Note to self: Don't let anyone borrow my Tbird.

Darrin: I wonder how quickly your Tbird@1.5ghz would fry w/o a hsf?

 

[SuperCyrix]

Reminds me of the Widler dude who had too much money. Drove his Benz to Vegas so he can run it into a tree.

Hideous Hog, you aughta smack that guy.. what's he THINKING?!!!

 

[phatstyl]
