If the heatsink/fan fails on an AMD, it will most like 'fry' and be ruined. How can a heatsink fail? Technically, a heatsink most likely will not fail. How? Not properly installed (tilted) by someone who is doing their own work. Accidental dropping or jarring the PC? Clip failure. The main point is, an Intel cpu will throttle 'down' while an AMD will burn 'up'. Don't get so damn picky. I am just trying to give the OP more info. Yes, I should have stated it differently. Probably something like "If the cpu cooling system fails................" Dont take any harm by it He's just a damn picky fellah "british ego ya know" he's like that to everyone, it probably means he likes ya heh |

Look Your a ****ing nobhead, Aight, If you aint ever heard of it or seen it, it doesnt mean it's true. google it yourself It's an urban legend that was started because of the pseudo science mass marketed to everyone by Tom's Hardware. Heatsinks don't just fall off while people are using their computers. If you treat your computer like UPS treats packages, yes there's a possibility that it could happen. But only ****ing nobheads treat they're computer like that, right? You are just as likely to break other things in the box like drives. Do the tabs on the ZIF socket break? Yes, we've all seen them or seen pictures or read of experiences. But any I've read of broke when the user was installing or uninstalling the heatsink, not while they were playing Quake 3. As another poster said, it's not even worth mentioning that AMD doesn't build in protection against a circumstance will likely never occur to the vast majority of users, especially if they install and remove heatsinks correctly. Can the gas tank of your automobile rupture and explode like a box of dynamite in a rear end collision? Yes, I suppose it's technically possible. Will it happen? Likely not. Will you stop driving or riding in cars because of this possibility and ride a bicycle instead? Probably not. So let's put an end to the sizzling CPU urban legend. You are much more likely to experience a fan failure than you are ever to experience your heatsink falling off. In that event, you still have passive cooling. Your computer's likely to ring alarms and or lockup, causing you to investigate the cause of the problem. And while we're drawing analogies to automobiles? How many miles does the typical person get out of an automobile before the engine goes tits up? How many years for the typical CPU? Keeping in mind the cost of a replacement CPU and or motherboard, is this really an issue? If my CPU turned into burnt toast and took the mobo with it tomorrow, I could get a CPU twice as fast for $90 and a better mobo for $80. I'd call that cause for celebration because I'd have an excuse to spend the money, finally getting a faster computer. And to the spelling police, im sarry i insighted such raje in you by mispeling syte. ill nver doit agen. *´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·- Ratz O. Fratzo |

Fratzo Well, I was working late the other night and unknown to me, there was an armed robbery going on next door. The police were tipped off and arrived with sirens wailing. The robber panicked and let off a wild shot. The bullet came in through my window and hit the wall. Pieces of plaster flew off and one particularly hard piece zipped into my computer whose cover I'd taken off earlier to install some additional RAM. That bit of plaster hit the locking spring of my heatsink at just the right (or wrong) angle and took it off. I also happened to have the Asus C.O.P. off and oh, woe is me, my 2000+ fried... :-) Oh well, I now have an excuse to buy a 3000+ Barton and possibly an Asus A7N8X. Just kidding. |

I have never seen a socket clip "break off". I have been a Network admin for
a mid size company (200+ nodes) for about 3 years and never have I ever seen a fan fall off. "rstlne" .@. wrote in message ... "-= Ratz O. Fratzo =-" wrote in message ...

"rstlne" .@. wrote in message The network admin we had at my company was pretty old and he had to send pc's out when the power supplys went, it was above his level. (Network) was the key word in his role.... That was him and everyone is different.. I am sure this happens or you wouldnt be able to buy the lug repair kits. I would guess that it happens to people who frequent lan party's, and probably people who move on a regular basis, I used to drive my pc about 10 miles every saturday for a small lan party and given the weight, size, and pressure of todays hsf's then I would say an inproper install or even thousands of miles would cause it to crack and break. |
