Vaporize AMD and Blowup Pentium

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5393904704265757054&q=overclock to watch a AMD Duron Vaporize after the heatsink is removed.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2002543555041596448&q=overclock Pentium 4 explode.

Some crazy guys. Wish I had the money to just blow some CPUs up, good stress relief

 

wow, whta a waste of money, firecrackers and capacitors are just as satisfying and much cheaper.

 

Buyt you have to admit its pretty cool to see why they say "Dont operate processor with out heat sink and fan."

 

Old stuff
I think it was posted long ago in Interesting links!

 

Lol, these guys are either pretty well off for money or just plain crazy! I watched a video where they ran over a brand spanking new ASUS laptop with a tractor and trashed it completely!

 

I think we also acertained that it wasn't the processors that was blowing up, and that it was just a joke.

If you really wanted me to, I could go into the (numerous) reasons why that situation is impossible.

 

Nobody wanted me to, but I want to

Ok, simplifying the situation. A processor has a mass of about 20g, we will say that it takes one half of a frame of the video for the processor to leave the socket and hit the ceiling. The height, we'll say, is 1.5 meters. The frame runs at 30 frames per second.

The processor is therefore traveling at 100 meters per second (at least).
The time it takes to accelerate to that speed is also half of one frame (that's an overestimation...) which is 0.015 seconds.

The energy required to accelerate the processor to 100m/s is:
E = 1/2 m v^2,
E = 1/2 x 0.002 x 100*100
E = 100 J

Power = Energy / Time
P = 100/ 0.015
P = 6,666 2/3 W = about 6.5 kW

Power supply for the computer.... about 600W? maybe 700W?
Since there are no explosive gasses or explosive solids within the socket itself (silicon oxide does not oxidise, solder does not produce much any when oxidising, copper doesn't either), all of the energy must have come directly from the power supply. (no chemical energy stores).

The only way to "store" that much energy over a period of time is through a capacitor (or a number of capacitors). As far as I know heating does not create capacitors.

Add to the fact that it also snapped the circuit board AND the table below it .... that is totally inplausible.

 

Once I turned an old computer on without a heatsink hooked up,(pentium 3)

and all it did was stink and die

 

Yeah, they probably just put a powerful firecracker under anold dead cpu. I wonder if the computer was even plugged in.

 

Check out the monitor cable. Goes off to the left hand side. The cable coming from the grapics card goes out to the right. Hmmmmmmm

Oh and also add into the calculations that it needed enough momentum to pull open the socket lock lever.... that's not easy

 

I have a video of P4 and P3 and a couple of AMD's running without fans and sinks. The Pentiums survived but the AMD's melted like solder. Nothing blew up.

 

It's crap.

Funny how it didn't blow up with the heatsink just sitting on top.

No thermal pad and it wasn't clipped down, so it would have blown up before he lifted the heatsink off.


Anyway, I have more fun with a CD or DVD in the microwave.

Cheap and fun.
