PibbZ Beats Records: 3 CPU's Wasted Last Year
2002-01-10 | PibbZ

I managed to waste incredible 3 AMD T-Bird CPU's last year, how? Yea you may wonder! The first one was wasted by a Peltier Cooling Enhanchment, it went too cold, and condense dripped down into the socket.. GG The next one (AMD T-Bird 1400 Mhz) run unstable for several days, and one day, it completely malfunctioned. I decided to reset the BIOS, and tried to run on the "Safe-Mode" clock frequency (1050 Mhz). Then it worked perfect, until I thought, Damn, it's a 1400 Mhz after all, and clocked it up again, and then... Poff! And smoke trickled out it... Completely wasted (Picture)! The last one was a new AMD 1333 Mhz (The Peltier wasted's guarantee replacement) had never been used, until I tested it a few minutes after the 1400 burned up... It seemed like the Mainboard was wasted too, cuz it killed the new CPU without a hitch, and I decided to abandon AMD for good!
