Guide on How to Burn in Your CPU

Arainach · 09-10-2005, 10:50 AM

Joe's Right. Your CPU's thermal shutoff threshold would prevent it from happening, not to mention that your processor would fry around 90C and your computer would shut down. Your story is 100% Crap.

i was sraced that it got that hot ihad like so baddly burned hands

Are you trying to be funny? THIS IS NOT AN AOL CHAT ROOM.

so blazin trav, does this work?

well technically... copper is always a reddish orange (excluding sepia and crap) when used in hsfs. but that story is still bull. next time you find something that hot lay your face on it.

i think it would work to just lower the fsb bar (nforce2 version) and use cpu-z to monitor how far down your voltage has gone, and use f@h too.

the NF2 version lowers the volts when you lower the fsb? that doesnt seem right at all. if so, the cpu freq will go down, but the volts will stay the same, which is the opposite of what you want to do to burn in a cpu.

660C is for aluminum.. copper is even higher... conclusion.. it was bs.. btw.. whos giving him rep?

dubloe7 · 09-11-2005, 09:07 PM

i think its the fact that it needs to lower the volts to lower the fsb.

are you really sure about that?

If you dont change the volts yourself, they will not change at all

hahahahahah glowing red. does his computer use jet fule to power it self.

nah, hes probably running a small nuclear reactor to feed his power-hungry prescott/p4 or whatever he has.

or he is using idiot outside processing..

"I burned my hand touching it"
-- what a retard.. anyone know when the special olympics are comming around? We have a new competitor!

LMAO calm down, its ok :D

some people feel the need to impress other people by making up wildly outrageous stories because they feel inadequate about their own manhood

It is possible for a heat sink to become hot enough so that it is painful to touch. However, that would be about 110 degrees F. So that part is realistic.

As for the glowing, I think it would have to be over 500 degrees F, since that is about what stove burners reach when they glow. That temp would actually melt the plastic casing of the CPU and melt the pins into the socket.

maybe he was talking about the burner elements on his stove =P

they glow red.. they can burn you real bad.. some stoves have buttons on them you can push and maybe he thought he was playing cs?

i think its safe to say his computer happens to have an electric stove for a cpu heatsink, which would explain the red glow, and the dead cpu. lol

Im just a little confused ,

So what your doing is lowering the voltage on ur chip perminently? and then as u overclock u raise it? or u just leave it?

or is it temporary and then u put it back up after?

yeah, but at 110F it still isn't hot enough that you would jerk your hand right away, it would take a second or two for it to get unbearably hot.

and if the HSF was 500F, lol, the ambient temperature it would create would be enough to melt some of the components on the mobo around the hsf, certainly the retention frame, and probably cause some oxidation of the silicon.

(lets put aside the fact that it is physically impossible for it to reach that temperature, the processor can't be made to put out enough heat in the first place, no matter how much voltage you pump into it - it would kill it or automatically shut itself off)

well, you could stick your computer in an oven i suppose....but by itself there is no way for it to reach 500F.

you bump the voltage down for a week or two, then your cpu will become more effiecent, so it wont need as many volts to reach differnt speeds.

example.

my cpu uses 1.54v stock, max oc was like 209x11.
1.62v could get me up to 228x11

i burned it down to 1.233v.

now 1.54v can get me up to like 236x11.
now 1.62v can get me up to 249x11

Zeph · 09-20-2005, 04:27 PM

oh ic, and this causes major temperature drops at the stock voltage too?

Ive got an MSI board with Core centre, can i just lower the voltage from there (Yes it does let me lower it there),or just go to BIOS instead?
