Some would, some would not, but it's still usefull!
of course it's useful, but I'd be much more annoyed about 300grams of aluminium/copper landing on my $200 graphics card and blowing <i>that</i> up than my CPU frying when I can get a duron that'll probably perform better anyway for $30 to replace the nuked CPU. (as it's likely to be an old t-bird in a system of that age). And if it falls off in shipping god knows how much damage a large lump of metal rattling about inside the case is going to do 😱 ... the CPU would be the least of my worries.

ah, who cares - PCs affected by these problems are old and need upgrading anyway... :wink:

Athlon XP 1800+ was out and that was the only protection available. My K7T Turbo2 instruction manual says "..up to 1800+". And the BIOS was the only thermal protection available at that time.
P.S. The latest BIOS version for my board(3.6) supports up to 2600+ FSB266. I had it flashed.
 
Some people don't like corsair, but they get nothing but praise from me 😎

And for you, Ferrari and computers have no sense in being compared, they're 2 different domains with totally different development speeds.
