I wonder if his warranty was void.. Hmmmm

i think i said this previously. the intel processors have a nice clean thermal paste on, but hte amd processors look like hookers in an alley.

what…?

go to the scrap yard, pick up a working old pc for £2-3 and do this yourself. this is not fake. I blew up a intel pentium 4. I stuck max volts on it with no cpu cooler. just a puff of smoke then black screen.

AMD is still on the top.

Welcome to 2006 where CPU’s don’t have protection against this sort of thing.

Yes, but you have to know how much is the feedback time for the shut down to say that!

Markcy1989 on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 4:41 pm 



This is not fake your stupid!

OredhotchilipeppersO on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 4:59 pm 



there was, even for all old processors, this is fake, they pour mercury on it and hook the screen up to a separate computer

OredhotchilipeppersO on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 5:07 pm 



this is so god damn obviously fake.

This isnt exactly a modern video, nor were those modern processors in the vid, but im pretty sure your right. None of the new ones would burn themselfs out, thats for sure.

jaggedspike on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 6:40 pm 



I thought there was a safety self-shutdown on all modern processors?

blackstones83 on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 6:47 pm 



I’ll stick to torturing AMD’s instead. I heart intel!

CAMAZ00 on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 7:00 pm 



Well, modern CPUs are using sophisticated methods to protect themselves.

I would REALLY love to see core2 duos and quads being tested this way!

SugarCallMeDaddy on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 8:32 pm 



fail

Ohh those were the days. Not the best marketing video for AMD

ganymedeIV4 on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 8:51 pm 



you probably crashed out and your front side bus speed went back to 100 or 133mhz instead of 200mhz which is what the barton series ran at.

should be 200mhz (FSB) x 11 = 2.200Mhz.

You can adjust that setting in the BIOS.

may not be your problem, you could of burnt it up. but 70% of the old Athlon XP’s i run across have the FSB set wrong.

I have one of those! for some reason after overclocking it went from 2.1 ghz to 1.3 ghz!

IONLYCOMMENT on Sat, 23rd Jan 2010 9:40 pm 



i remember upgrading my dell optiplex gx 150 from 800 to 1ghz.. it needed a whole new heatsink! i couldn’t believe it! by the way its Ben !

No, no, no, NO!!! Monopolist son of a bitch, “VIva la revolucíon”!!!

Damm, the fault is not of the AMD processor, is the motherboard. The chipset/BIOS don’t sut down the computer when the temperature turns too elevated… He must work for Intel, to disable this feature. The most motherboards have this. At school, ALL computers are P4, and ALL keep crashing.
