Intel Core i5 CPU Mauled by Dog
Never leave a CPU unattended.
Many pet owners know the trials and tribulations of having a dog. No trash can is ever safe. Food left out on the table could disappear in mere seconds, and apparently eating dirty diapers is like hitting the desert bar at an all-you-can-ear buffet. Carpets are wonderful collectors of pet stench, and processors make good chew toys. Wait! What?
That's right: CPUs can be canine teeth sharpeners without the breath cleaner... at least that's what this forum member discovered. Apparently he left his dead Intel Core i5 laying on the ground somewhere in the house, and the dog decided to make it her chew-toy... or rather, started eating it. Seriously, she must be a Lab.
"She managed to get the heat spreader off, as well as to bend the poor CPU in the process," the post reads.
There was no indication that she had eaten any other dead PC components in the past.

I cringe reading this article! What a waste!!!
*shudder*
i'll be watching my treeing walker coon hound now..........
lucky him it wasnt a good one.
Shouldn't he be worrying more about the dog?
laugh out loud! btw the CPU was already dead. Don't stop at the title that's just lazy.
Shouldn't he be worrying more about the dog?
I wouldnt, CPU's cost way more than any dog ive ever owned. CPU>dog
Can't wait till I go to an All You Can Ear buffet.
Thank god the i5 was already dead before the dog got a hold of it.
"all-you-can-ear buffet"
I guess we don't live in a Dog-Eat-Dog world anymore. Even Dogs have upgraded.
Today I received my Core i7-980X from Newegg. I also have a dog. FML

Oh well crap happens.
omg just think about the overclock potential on that thing now.
This is just DOG's version of showing its Fandogism (fanboyism)

Still CPU>Dog.
Maybe I'll give you dead dog>dead CPU
(I'm not for killing either however)
Tom's - hire the dog. We need a new benchmark.
The dog is fine from what taco has said.
Also if you think cpu>dog. Some yes, some no. Some dogs>intel extreme cpu's. Of course this is simply in price. As a good dog cant bring stuff a good cpu can't.
And just cause it hasn't been said. Can he play crysis yet.
That's just an accident. No problem. Better than getting car crash or something.
"She managed to get the heat spreader off, as well as to bend the poor CPU in the PROCESS"
LOL process - cpu, get it? Rofl copter, that's a good one.
It was already dead.
Ya you know he/she wrote that comment without even reading the story. The comment may have been the first, but at least we know scione posts without reading.
"the desert bar at an all-you-can-ear buffet." Will that be Gobi or Sahara? What?
I wouldn't be worried with eating a CPU. If she craps out a north bridge and south bridge, call the Vet!
I wonder if she would have eaten a processor from AMD.
My girlfriend's dog chewed up a tv remote control. LOL!
I recently lost an AMD ATHTLON XP because my cat 19lb. walked across the upright pins while it was on my desk and they were beyond straightening.
Good thing I have small dogs... They'll freak out just hearing the case fans lol.
You think that's something. You should see what a cockatoo can do...
