Since when was nitrogen explosive though?

HAHAHA!
LIQUID HYDROGEN FOR COOLING A PC?!

ROFL

No, seriously, Hydrogen is like the most epxlosive substance on earth, it will ignite with the smallest spark, and that could very easily happen in your PC!

I think you're talking about liquid nitrogen now

lol, that made me laugh.


Unfortunate :\

Umm, that  isnt a melted cpu....
That metallic stuff around the core is just whats left of your thermal compound...
A 700mhz celron couldnt produce enough heat to melt a core.

Liquid nitrogen isnt that great as a cpu cooling tool. It may be extreamly cold, which is good for a short ammount of time, eventually it will warm up and getting rid of the heat in the LN qould be rather problematic.
The only useful way of doing it, would be to just keep adding more liquid nitrogen, which is how the supercomputers do it.

Overheating stuff is definatly fun tho

Dude, it's melted. I know what I'm talking about. It fried, it's black and burnt and smells like it's burning when you boot it. the melted stuff is the buffer that seperates the heatsync and the processor.

I had problems with my fan.. it stopped working well... the problem was the part were the fan was attached broken up..
The pc started but it just turned off like 1 ssecond later after turning it on and my processors didnt burn or anything.. probably coz its an AMD.. eheh mine is 3 years old.. (i want a new oneeeeeeee)

most motherboards these days shut down when the temperature is rising too much.

I see people who are scared now of using a Celeron because a fan stopped working and the cpu burned. This could have happend with all cpu's. If the cable got loose then you didn't plugged it in properly. I wonder what else is sitting loose...

80°C is not good , you have to bring it down. Install some fans to create more airflow in your case.

you will see it when things go wrong with your graphics card. You'll get blocks in your screen. If you get this, shut down your computer immediatly and get a fan for your graphics card.

Mines a pentium III :\ and i use my laptop... my desktop is my secondary one (on celeron )
