[QUOTE="Geeky1, post: 505854, member: 34442"] Nah, no offense taken. :) That has occurred to me as well. The only thing I can say is that I'm not 100% convinced that it would kill it instantly, or even over a period of a few minutes. It very well could, without any doubt at all. There's no question that it would not be good for it, to say the least. But. It might not kill it instantly. I did an experiment a long time ago on a forum I used to frequent because some mental giant was insistent that the P4s were more stable at high temperatures than the Athlon XPs were. The experiment (which can be found here: [url]http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14207[/url] ) consisted, basically, of running a Pally 1700+ up to and somewhere beyond its maximum operating spec. The CPU suffered no ill effects from this, and indeed it continues to function just fine. So yeah... I understand your point, and it's a very good one. And I'm torn as to which way to go with this... I'd be much happier if I could pull it apart without voiding the warranty and do some testing. [/QUOTE]
