Extreme overclocking
These guys must have lots of money to burn.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...926&q=overheat http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...072&q=overheat Who would have thunk that overclocking could cause a processor to explode. |

I wonder if they used cheaper old first gen P4s - the ones that are only like 1.4 ghz
also I wonder if they had the locking pin/lever down on the chips before the things took off like rockets, I couldnt see... |

As long as I have this off topic thread up, I'll hijack it(can you hijack your own thread?). Check out the insane vid and the funny video game covers.

Uh...you guys do know that they were using fire-crackers to make them explode, right? CPUs don't just exploded when you take the heatsink off. They can burn, yes, but that will just cause some smoke, a bad smell, and a blackened chip. There is nothing in a CPU that will cause it to explode with enough force to punch a hole in a motherboard.
