check it out!

edit: i know i know it's probably fake

So fake.

CPU's don't explode, they just stop working.

They could only generate some smoke if they are to die, but the computer would just turn itself off, nowadays, if the cooler is removed.

Last scene, smoke comes up from under the table before anything happens. That is also why there is a hole in the table and mobo - to blow the CPU out of its socket with a firecracker.

yeah, they are using a firecracker. it was the same exact explosion for both CPUs. From the very beginning, all netburst chips had the PROCHOT code. Killing a K7 is a lot more plausible, but that isn't how they go. They will slowly, very slowly, endure physical deformation and maybe charring. There isn't going to be a 4000 joule burst.

Old video is old.

 

[Stumps]

Damn I haven't seen that in long while....I laughed at it's fakeness then and I'll laugh once again.

The old AMD Athlon T-birds used to go pop when they overheated, often with a shit load of smoke, but not like in that video.

 

[aigomorla]

they dont pop.

The Duron's will get hot and then eventually melt right though the motherboard. I remember tom's hardware showing us what happened when you removed the sink.

The intel however will start to throttle, expecially a P4, where it will be semi useable until it reaches shutdown.
