Toms (back in the day)
You had camera and showed A Processor heating up, You used a temp guage, till it smoked

Then it melted processor... you showed it on video messing up your computer.

(Intel would purposefully disable functions on a processor)

You also showed a "process", to speed up "processor speed", by doing this.

With a video, that you provided:

Take a pencil, and draw a line across ("certain pins" ontop of the processor, to increase speed, which I done, and it worked)
The pencil is conductive, graphite doesn't melt
and you can use it to draw lines on the processor.

so is there any new processors that will do this? besides overclocking bios and /or software?

I was never able to find the original video, but someone put a copy on YouTube.

There was another video without music background, and the techs just talking. One of the AMD CPUs warped from the heat and popped out of the socket with enough speed to injure someone if they'd been standing over it.
