How long before CPU fries
Dodgy scenario: I need to test a motherboard to POST with an Athlon 64 3000
venice CPU but I don't as yet have a heatsink/fan. So I was wondering if I could get away with a few secs of power without the heatsink/fan while I see if the motherboard POSTS. I once fried an Athlon 1.0ghz by running it with just a heatsink and it took about 3 minutes to cook. I`m thinking that from cold the CPU will take awhile to warm up maybe a minute so I should be able to test it for a few seconds without damaging it.

Within a few seconds, it should reach thermal overload an shu itself down. If you want it to stay on long enough to get a post, turn the case so the cpu is facing up and set a block of metal on top of the cpu with some grease on it. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm

So, if you do manage to do something with it for a few seconds, you're still left with an unusable system. Why not just wait until you have a heatsink and fan before you mess with it? You sure are in a hurry to fry the chip.

Even if terminal damage does not occur, you may stress something and reduce its life... What do you think? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
