sad... but funny.
goes to show how dumb people can be with PC components.

I agree these are all fine examples of what not to do. However, most companies do not have time to thoroughly analyze what went wrong with a component someone returns. This does end up costing the retailers and AMD money in the end.

Ray I deeply appreciate not making an Fud like comments on this one. Clearly these people were morons. It could have just as easily been Intel systems in those pics.

PS: Saw that web page yesterday. Funny stuff. Amazing what some folks do to their comps

Benchmarks are like sex, everybody loves doing it, everybody thinks they are good at it.

I think you need to actually look at the link before posting a comment like that. There are pictures of components from both AMD and INTEL as well as motherboards, video cards, memory, etc.

These people were clearly morons and no manufacturer should be responsable for their mistakes.

true... some complete dill-weed SANDPAPERED a celleron by the looks of it.

and arctic silver oozing down the side of the socket will cauze any cpu to shortout. :)

silver isn't elctrically conductive? i don't know my metals but i don't think it is either. the problem is though is that it's overheating the core. The heat is being transfered back into the core instead of in the heatsink. Probably burned up and stopped working.

When you put on grease, use a q-tip and put a little dab on the q-tip and put very little on the core and thats it. you want the heat to transfer to the heatsink not back to the core.

"::sighs:: for the last time, as2 is not electrically conductive!"

matisaro, look:

<b>ARTIC SILVER 2 & 3</b>
"Negligible electrical conductivity. Arctic Silver II was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity. It is only electrically conductive in a thin layer under extreme compression.

(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver II should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. The compound is slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridged two close-proximity electrical paths.)"

Heh heh. Assuming that it was even Arctic Silver. It could have been a more electrically-conductive thermal grease.

That was a hillarious site though. If only all tech shops kept digital cameras on hand... :)

Thanks for the link proving my statement meltdown.

Capacitive effects are not the same as conductive.

Actually, everything can conduct electricity. Some materials are better at slowing the flow of electrons than others. Put a large enough voltage difference across anything and find out!!

i got a help desk call one time about a corrupt hard drive, i went over to the computer, she had arranged about 30 refridgerator magnets on the side of the case, not the flimsy light weight ones, the kind with the big fat round magnets. i couldnt believe my eyes, i got a pic somewhere.

i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.

Aight, someone explain to me how you can extend and ignore the word wrap!
And please don't do this again!

You "extend and ignore" word wrap by typing in a very, very long word that the "word wrap" algorithm doesn't bother to break (i.e. the word "NOOOOO....OOOO!!!!!")

<i>If a server crashes in a server farm and no one pings it, does it still cost four figures to fix?

NO - you do not want to put on ASII or any thermal paste with a q-tip!!!!!

Last I looked, q-tips were basically compressed cotton wool.

I think life will be a lot longer if you use something that isn't going to leave lint on the die and prevent thermal contact.

Generally apply a rice grain sized amount to the core and spread with the edge of a credit-card or equivalent (physically, not financially equivalent) Spreading with a q-tip as you suggest is going to leave you possibly with one of the worst possible applications you could imagine.

Remember, we want a nice, smooth, <b>even</b>, thin application.
