your hs+t is suppose to be on at all times even when uer not OCing. Why would a sane person take it off. I just don't get how electricity can make a cpu EXPLODE at that velocity.

nope. They are german, look at their clothes, the small garage, and the red car (looks like a Yugo). I think they were just bored and had a couple of processors to have fun with. Luckily they didn't get hurt

Edit:

Now that I think about it, the line "ahh look the fan failed" was scripted, after that his budy "changes" hs+t..but if u notice he just pulls it up, so the fan was never burnt out..it was never CONNECTED to the mobo to begin with..look at it.

How come nobody ever takes the radiator out of their car to see how far it'll drive down the freeway at top speed without one???

I don't believe those are real... I'm sure they're stages.. they showed on Toms Hardware once where they were pulling heatsinks off of CPU's to show the effects of how processors handle heat.. fried a couple of AMD's with 300'C+ heat.. but nothing actually exploded and I don't see how anything would actually explode.

right, its a solid state device, and something that is solid cannot explode, by its self.

Yup, its fake. Even if it were to explode there is no way it would put a hole in a table! Another thing, what did they say that duron was clocked to? 3.8Ghz or something?? how many durons do you know of that can clock to that speed? How many AMD for that matter? And on air?? no way....

Take something that is completely sealed and heat up something in the middle which does expand under heat (silicon) and I don't see why you could not have an explosion. It's not much different that putting an egg in the microwave...the heat source is just a different.

It looked like a bad parody of Das Boot.

You also need suffient mass and expansion for explosion.. there simply isn't enough there and if there was, the video on Toms Hardware should have created an explosion as well.
