Gopher, Re: "Athlons burst into flames when the fan falls off. Similarly, Pentiums shatter when you hit them with a sledgehammer. Both events equally likely to occur and neither merits a lot of discussion." Since the THG video came out, I've heard numerous convincing accounts from several people about how this situation can happen more often than you'd think. If AMD were as convinced as you are about the unlikelihood of heatsink removal during operation, I wonder why they bothered to make the response video that got this thread so excited a week ago. wanna_bmw
