(it had windows me and it wont boot into it because it's missing sytemconfig.ini his younger sister must have deleted it or a virus perhaps? but he doesnt have any software disks to reinstall. THey were going to throw it in the trash but i took it) Last edited by krazykaveman on Sat Jan 07, 2006 10:05 am; edited 1 time in total Contributed by krazykaveman, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 850 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Sat Jan 07, 2006 11:47 am Reply and quote this post Quote: I'd like to see this done with an Athlon64 more than an old Athlon1400 to be honest. Check this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=53...q=exploding+cpu It's a fake.  I can promise you.  The blow-hole was too nicely cut. Contributed by Josh, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Sat Jan 07, 2006 11:54 am Reply and quote this post The reason it is fake is because: 1) They overclock an AMD Duron to 4GHz on AIR 2) The fan on the heatsink isn't even on....so there's no possible chance ever that it can reach 4GHz 3) The processor wouldn't blow a hole in a 2 inch wooden table.

I noticed that the fan wasn't on myself and it seemed strange to me that a cpu could run at 4ghz without any movement of air.  But like Predator said, could air even cool an extremely OC'ed cpu? I'd think at the very least you'd need a good water cooling system.

I hate it when people pronounce computers \"broken\" just because they need a reformat or fresh operating system install >_> Well, then what qualifies for 'broken'?  I think if it doesn't work, it's broken.  Yes, it can be fixed, but that doesn't change the fact that it's broken.
