| Post the most unfortunate overclocking disasters here :)
Can we see some pics or even videos of overclocking - gone wrong? Like Fried chips, smoking cases, melted plastic, etc etc.
Links would be great, and the more carnage the better!
Thanks in advance!

Are you a masochist... or a sadist... or perhaps a little of both?

The Screen Savers fried a P4 on live TV once. And they also put some processors (iterally) in a frying pan. | |

Tom's Hardware toasted a couple of Athlons once, too. I believe there's stills AND video on the site someplace.

How did they fry a P4? I must've missed that one. I've personally had some tragedies, luckily none personal. Seems every once in a while I'll get a computer for repair with blown capacitors, a chipped processor, all the usual. The best were when the cheap little Deer Power Supplies get so hot they burn the PCB inside the supply. I've also had a defective motherboard fill the store with smoke, and long ago I had a dog of a compaq deskpro catch fire for some kind of inherent problem. It's a very good thing we keep fire extinguishers within reach. | |

Tom's Athlons were fried, but not overclocked; the heat sinks were deliberately removed. But the footage is still spectacular. | |

LOL Yes I am somewhat sick, I vision someone sitting at their computer overclocking it slowly 1mhz at a time, pushing it past it's limits, it starts to smell, make noises, yet the person keeps 'jacking' up the mhz.. then when it seems to be that is is going to fail at any moment, the person 'jacks' the CPU to absurd levels, over 10ghz and the chips busts up!
Im sorry... I guess I do have a sort of computer damage fetish... ;p | |
