My cousin had that p3 on the "world most crappy motherboard" and he asked me to kill his comp (He dont know [-peep-] in comps) so that his father will buy you another. I could not refuse.

So i try to just unplug the cpu fan and wait while running some heavy cpu programs but the damn thing wont get pass 75C even with no fan. Finally we decide to remove the heatsink while the comp is on full load. As he remove the heatsink he get burnt by it and the heatsink (Aero 7+(BIG [-peep-] heatsink)) fall on the videocard (radeon 7000) effectivly killing it while the cpu burn. The whole thing shut down. I hope his father beleive whatever story he is gonna make up...

What, the "Oh, I accidentally knocked over the cup of water that I had resting on the desk." trick isn't good enough anymore? And I suppose that flipping the input voltage switch on the power supply and then putting it back after frying the system isn't any good either? :\ At least you didn't throw a little baggie of metal shaving dust into the intake fan with the system running...

If it were me, I'd see how high it would OC before it fried.

I would have given you a dead cpu. Friends don't let friends fry CPU's when chicken's available.

I don't know much about P3 boards, but when I was OCing my P2, it was just a matter of changing jumpers.

I sometimes forget that I'm conversing with children on this forum. I consider myself a PC savy old guy. I'm a father of two teenage sons. If my old PC suddenly "broke down" for no reason, I'd open it up to find out why. I'm sure I could discover the blatent vandalism performed. My son would do WITHOUT a PC in this case.

Before you celebrate destroying older equipment, consider what your parents have to do to pay for everything you do and own. Show some consideration. Treat your 'old man' like you will want to be treated by your son some day.

I'm such a nerd for cool new parts, I'd probably secretly like being given an excuse to upgrade. :lol:

'Course, if my Xeons died because my kid decided he needed new 3.4's instead of 3.06's, he'd probably find himself joining the military. :evil:
 
Hey, I was in the military, 8 years, 2 months, 15 days in the Army. Course, I didn't have to sabotage any pc parts to get in...dating a recruiter's daughter was my quick ticket to basic training.
