Update:
AMD (my hero) is replacing the XP2100 with an XP 2200 hows that for the right way to support a customer?
Thanks to all that had some constructive input.
P.S. cool video!
Firstly I was not "throwing my certs around", I was telling the story which is I asked TT's position on ruining CPUs and got pictures of the heatsink on backwards so I replied thanks I know how to orient the heatsink and btw I am what I am.
Second I was able to put the old heatsink (plus the...
The heatsink in question is pure copper the electrical wiring in your house is copper. inert??? I think not!
Ps I am a professional this is what I do for a living but thanks for the useless input.
Thanks for the referance to the manual thats exactly what I am saying TT should have done. I did use the correct clip/ configuration.
Thanks for the medical advice and the sincere heartfelt concern for my health.
AMD owes me nothing if they replace the CPU I am ahead of the game. My point is...
You seem to be missing the point which really is that ThermalTake refused any conversation outside of User Error.
Secondarily THERE IS NO NO NO physical damage to the processors Plural 2 (2) two processors dead in under a minute.
Somehow the TT heatsink caused electricity to flow where it...
The processor is on it's way to AMD, I am waiting for an RMA from ASUS. I am done with TT. My pound of flesh will come from this and 10 other threads I ahve posted and the Max PC Watchdog, (if they print it)
Also I will never buy from them and I will discourage their products to all I deal with.
1) I have been doing this for years (many without certs) I got them to increase my earning power.
2) I didn't bring them up until after I got a condescending email with 2 pictures of the heatsink on backwards.
3) there is NO damage to the core, The fans spun and the processor died in under a...
after the 2100 fried and I bought the 2400 I put the AMD heatsink on the 2400 and it worked fine then thinking there waas too much pressure on the cpu from the 7+ I bent the clip and put it on bye bye 2400!
I feel somehow the 7+ is conducting electricity into the cpu.
My main issue with TT is...
The 2100 was a year old and never passed post after the new heatsink was on it fried immediately. the fan was spinning (I have it on my old heatsink the fan died which was why I bought a new heatsink)
The 2400 was new and the same thing happened no post beep burning smell kill power dead...
I bought this terriffic looking copper heatsink to
cool my XP2100 (1.73 MHZ)which was running at 2GHZ
The quality and construction were first rate. I am an
MCP & A+ certified and thought nothing of it as I
installed the heatsink. Imagine my horror when instead
of post beeping nothing happened...
