Very Bad News For Celeron Users

[M Ragsdale]

This is what happens when you install a G400 on your Celeron system after having a Banshee in it.

Lol

Some say G400 & Celery don´t mix very well, but that´s a bit extreme

Its not april fools day. I saw the same pictures also. Nice try

[M Ragsdale]

Not trying to make a prank, Just trying to lighten things up a bit. We need some light every once in a while. I wonder if the processor was operational afterwards....hmmm maybe I can get another Celeron this weekend to try this out....you never know. SteveC has probably already tried, though..crazy shit.

Is this some kind of bust?
Yes, it's very impressive.

actually, the current drivers do have some issues with Celeron processors.

Matt - I've never 'unintentionally' blown up a processor/chip. Hold on, I lie, I have once blown up an IBM PS/2 and a 72pin simm, dunno why, but I got a bright purple smoke pour out of the simm, and a hole in the motherboard.
No, I've handled with zero consideration for static or whatever processors, mobos, RAM, and have NEVER damaged anything through lack of care for it. Computer hardware is a lot more tougher than people realise. And static protection is a waste of time if you ask me.

Hmmm, I'm thinking now if times I have blown up processors... burnt a hole in the middle of an AMD K5 once... didn't mean that to happen! Also smoked a hard drive or twelve. Uh, got angry with a CD-writer once, that didn't last long. You know hard drives, if you take them apart and power them up, you make make pretty patterns on the disks with a screwdriver. And they go 'ding!' when you throw them....

Cheers,

Steve

My only bad static experience was upgrading the hard drive on an old 386 (Freshman year in college) from 80mb to 300mb. And we smoked the 300mb drive. Bright blue spark jumped several inches and fried it. Nice smell, really.

WHEEEE! Double Post.

You will notice that once the smoke escapes electrical items will not work any more!

This just proves that electricity IS smoke.

Not quite true - I saw smoke escaping from a Digital laptop once - That baby worked fine afterwards.

Other stuff I got smoking - A £3000 DLT drive, couple of monitors, a ICL Fujitsu PC (It literally blew up) etc etc.

Cough.

What was this thread about again?

[Steve C]

Electricity isn't smoke my end either.
I've had smoke out of a PCMCIA network card, worked fine after too. I've smoked too many things in the past to list. I'm used to that electrical burning smell... you get used to it after a while.

Cheers,

Steve

That just means that not all the smoke got out.
If all the smoke escapes the device will no longer work.
I repete -> This just proves that electricity IS smoke.

Nothing like the smell of burning PCB's in the morning, not to mention the toxicity of the smoke

Static protection isn't a joke, I repair electronics and I have seen lots of IC's killed by static. As long as you are reasonably careful there aren't any problems. But one static shock and you start all over.
