sheesh, that hot?

Heh.. never noticed this before. I was moving my palomino 2100+ from one mobo to another, cleaned the CPU core and the HS with isopropylic alcohol, and you know what I saw in the bottom of the HS? the text from the AMD palomino core! It is actually burned into the copper base... with a little good will, I can read the text and all..

Awesome huh? and no matter how much I rub the copper base, its still there, so it must be burned into the copper.

Really proves how hot the core gets...

Cheers, Flixotide

It's not burned into the copper. With 14lbs - 24lbs clip tension you can expect to have the impression of the core on such a soft material.

Woah.. incredible... tiny characters like those capable of marking on copper...

While copper certainly is a soft material, I just cant believe something that tiny could leave a print on it that easily.

woah... :rolleyes:

Yep... It sucks too... cause I gotta relap everytime I change cpus. ;)
