Back in the day (2001) Tom's pulled the heatsinks off several AMD and Intel processors just to see what would happen. If memory serves all the AMD chips burned up. The older Intel chips locked up and the newer (back then) Intel chips kept running at a much slower speed but all the Intel chips survived.

I've tried to search for info on current thermal solutions but I'm not finding any info. I assume that AMD has fixed this problem years ago but I can not verify my hunch. Anybody got hard facts/links?

Fire alarm system will detect the smoke or the automatic operation of a protective system or heat detector, or the automatic operation of a protective system. Another special type of a fire alarm system is the continuous monitoring, which detect the local fire in the emergency. For more details about the heat protection Visit: http://amalarm.com
