So my computer shut down when I tried to start up Team fortress 2. So I checked BIOS and went to computer health. I saw CPU temperature was 1000 degrees and was like "hmm, thats wierd... O SHIT ITS GONNA FUCKING EXPLODE!"

I took off the side panels of my computer and checked the cpu fan, and a cord was blocking the fan from spinning, I shoved the sucker somewhere else and restarted my computer. Don't you love happy endings :D

P.s. definite 5/5 blog

EDIT: wtf 1 star fuck you

This happened to me when I forgot to remove the plastic thing sitting on the CPU so it didn't connect with the cooling paste (it got to 95 C which is a bit past 200 fahrenheit). You mean fahrenheit right? 200 degrees celsius is a bit... yeah...
I had it running like that for months before noticing. Actually, they can endure the heat a lot better than you'd imagine. And talk about it shortening their lifespan is not necessarily true.

Would it be more interesting if I said it got up to 1000 degrees celsius?

i once had my laptop on my legs too long and they burned, or perhaps they more boiled? The heat built up slowly so that when I took the laptop off, my legs were sweaty and numb. For months I had these red/purple lines on my legs.

from now on- crappy dell laptop stays on desk.

No... because that would be a lie.

Not a funny hyperbole either.

pfft i win. i left my laptop (which runs pretty hot normally) in my backpack fan facing down thinking it was off. i later notice my backpack being very hot. i open it up and check my temps and was at over 100 degrees celsius, i think 215 or so farenheit. luckily it still works ~~ really surprised it didn't shutoff by itself but w/e.

My average cpu fan temperature hovers around 49 degrees, although when playing GTA 4 or Crysis i have seen it get up to 60-70 degrees. I'm not really worried, the cooler is huge but the an the QX9650 is just so hard to cool.
