While trying to determine if I had a bad cpu or motherboard, I pulled my processor(athlon xp 2400) and stuck in another pc. The fan was a pain to get off so I figured I would not put it back on, just see if the pc boots with this processor.
I guess that was not too smart as I could smell something funny, kind of like burnt money
The little square on top look kind of fried also so I guess if it wasn't bad before, it surely is now.
So intel cpus will shut them selves off if the fan dies or something right?
But on an Amd, apparently even a few seconds will fry the chip, is that correct?
