Capacitors tend to explode or shoot in the air under high temperatures, which requires gloves. Because fire was used with a blow torch, gloves should also be recommended incase of fire coming back on hands. Fumes can be extremely hazardous if inhaled for long periods of times, which means a mask of some sort is recommended. Of course, I found the gas and capacitor parts out the hard way...damn I have a headache off smelling that good ole' burning of silicon and plastic! Also, Handle stuff with something OTHER than your hands. It's a blow torch ya stupid ass...it makes things hot...Don't wanna burn yourself now do ya?
This was the victim, an old AMD 75 MHz Processor. I would get the model off of it, but it's downstairs soaking tryen to get the burnt silicon smell outta it..keyring!

Now, this is what happens when you OverClock without proper cooling. The prongs become a scorching hot red color....

Can we say cheap thermal paste? It even lit on fire!

This was the next victim, an old small ass stick of RAM. Don't even know how the much it is...before my times.

RAM OverClocking also has it's down-sides also....

This motherboard's sweet ass!

What the hell?!?1 It only pushed 75Mhz! The bastard!

See what happens when boards aren't fast enough for me?

Proper cooling is always a must...if not, you're gonna fry some crap..
This old port card wasn't working right...so, I beat it with a hammer.

The hoe still wouldn't work, even after a good ass kickin' with a hammer. Cheap piece of crap. Aren't those RAM chips under it?

Maybe it'll work now?
Also fried a copper heatsink...the plastic clamps on it melted into a pool of boiling plastic, then blew off from the flame pressure. Thermal paste melted and poured all over it. Need to dig it outta my trash tomorrow and get a pic of it. |
