Yeah, okay... A *bleep* or two heard somewhere in there so you have been warned if applicable. http://www.wimp.com/processor/I say it is fake but I dunno. It is funny though, "fan..... failure!" (removed)

hahahh totally fake, ive seen a proc overheat and its nothing of that sort. thats like a processor having a nuke explosion but its dang funny!! the hole under the proc must of been used to shoot a firecracker or something.

I think it's possible. I remember back in high school in shop class, some kid tried "melting" the cement floor with a welding torch. It got red hot then a chunk literally exploded out of the slab. Surpised the heck out of us.The shop teacher said the material heated up fast enough and expanded at such a great rate it exploded.

I wonder if it didn't explode so much as just pop out of the socket. That I could believe.
