Project Fiery Death
So, while reading another thread here, I remembered I had an old AMD AthlonXP lying around somewhere, and I got to thinking. I don't know if many of you can remember the good ol' days when fanboys of both AMD and Intel were arguing like maniacs about what's the best CPU, but one of the big arguments revolved around the heat of the AMD-CPU's. While removing the heatsink on an Intel CPU, it would only slow down, but not die, but as for AMD, the CPU would catch on fire and burn alive.
Now, my little project is to reenact the AMD-part of this video, using my old AthlonXP CPU, an Abit KG7-RAID-mobo and a videocamera.
I don't know when exactly I will be doing this, but first of all I need to get hold of a videocamera so I can document it all. Stay tuned for more action, and the final results.
