There is a growing database of evidence of P4 CPUs dying from high voltage to the core theinquirer.net Several sources on the net have also reported failures from high voltages to the P4 core. Intel techs I have spoken to agree that this threat is very real. The small interconnects and gates used in the current P4's are subject to electromigration and oxide breakdown, resulting in a chip which will not boot, or one that will only run at reduced speeds, before dying. discuss.madonion.com
