Burning in to the Extreme!!!!!

[Milkman]

Well I just got a first hand account of how tough my duaghters little Tbird 1400 was,I came home yesterday to find my Daughter using my computer, when I asked her why she wasn't using hers she said it didn't work and it smelled like a hot iron, well when I looked over and saw the Harddrive light on I got scared and removed the cover,upon seeing no fans spinning I unplugged it and grabbed the heatsink, it was so hot I thought I may have to go to the burn center so I got out the trusty oven mit and removed Hsf and then proc, all were so dam hot I coundn't get near them , I held the Hsf up to my a/c and cooled it down and let the proc cool off. Well at that point I was bumming bigtime I figured there is no way that thing lived, but what the heck I reapplied AsII and a new fan on the Hs and fired it up and it posted NO Way !!!!!! and runs fine. The best thing is that that dam 1400 266fsb would not run @ 1400 so I had been running it @ 1300 200Fsb for months, And it even runs 5c cooler than ever before, So the moral is burnem in boys it really works!!:D

Those chips can run up to 95*c according to AMD It makes you wonder how thay last at that tempture.

[danorthface]

with out a heatsink fan, it probably would go over 95 C

[Deliximus]

without the heatsink, it'll go up in the hundreds

Friggin incredible, wish my luck was that good. My chips just fry

[OC-Master]

nice! :)

Have you seen the old school test toms "crap" hardware did a while back. If you havent seen it than you need to. 370*c/700*f oooooooooo

You are lucky the heatsink was still on. The people who fry em in an instant are the people that have no contact!

You are a very very very very very lucky man!

Hey Yodums, glad to see your Beaver is using the force again!!, I think that Avatar is cool!!!:D

[Yodums]

Ya damn right! And don't make me pull out the pink saber as well :D PS How did the fan come unplugged? I bet your daughter pulled it out on purpose so she can get her hands on the new T-Bred's Rev B! :D JK

I liked the coresant chase scene myself yodums.

One time i left my fan unplugged and went to school. My dog musta turned un the power, but when i got home my xp1600+(overclocked= to an 1800+) was steamin. AMD makes some good stuff cause it worked great.

[jbslow]

I installed an os on one dually XP1600+ rig with the 2nd cpu's fan unplugged. No problem just settled as3 :D

I love unplugging the fan and seeing how hot the CPU gets... man I am bad.

I'm not that brave. Even w/ my mobo's CPU Overheat Protection
feature, I still double check to see if my fan is hooked up before I start it up.

You can get the same effect in software by installing speedfan and turning the speed (via PWM) down to 0%. I did that for an experiment once, but got nervous when it hit 55C and turned the fan back on. Very simple using mouseclicks. :)

-- Paul Ahh you're safe up to 60c and more... I (on a slower speed fan) just use my finger to stop the fan and watch the temps rise... its fun. Also fun to touch it.

Did I ever tell you of the time I had my sister put her finger on the core of a celly and fired it up... ohh man I wish I had a digital video camera. Unfortunately her heart didnt have enough GPH to warrant a change of air cooling to blood cooling.

Dude you are extremely evil! You'd never want your fingers in my fan (Delta 80). Consider it broken if it's in.

She's a lucky girl her chip didn't fry. BTW what kinda HS was it?

[Milkman]

The heatsink was a swifty mcx370, the fan was pluuged in but just died for some reason.
