haha...so stupid, in the second video, you can see the smoke in the background from the firecracker or whatever before the CPU pops off.

Funnily enough a week later amd released another video where their CPU does not die, but simply freezes... 😀 I have both on my hdd somewhere. Quite funny, never know which one to believe.

If my memory serves me correctly, both videos that you are describing are accurate. After THG released that, AMD and Siemens worked on a board to take advantage of a new part on the new Athlons that would allow the motherboard to have time to shut the system down before the core got hot enough to fry itself. There was a lot of controversy covering this and AMD needed (and brought to the table) a solution to the problem.
