To Kill a Thoroughbred The T-Bred is one "Hot" processor. Too bad AMD Quality fails again. Let the excuses begin. lostcircuits.com Summary Despite all necessary precautions on both the user and the manufacturer's sides, we have been able to inadvertently fry the AMD XP2200 Thoroughbred processor. It is still not entirely clear what happened but we have a few pointers of what to avoid if you don't like the smell of fried horse flesh. OK, so what happened? The story is either very easy or very complex. Let's start with the easy version. The CPU was installed correctly, the heatsink was lapped to an almost mirror finish using 400 grid water-proof sandpaper and all of it was working just fine. The heatsink compound used was Arctic Silver3. The system was turned on, the phone rang next door and 15 min later, the only thing left was a dead processor.
