After a month and 1/2 since the last post? Nah.
Especially considering what he said in his post.
If he came here all trollish, I would have suspected that he was an AT member, but I don't think that he is at this point.

You try and hit 100C on a mordern CPU...and stop putting words into my mouth.
its very easy actually (unless the CPU is throttled at a lower temp than that).
In my defense, I hadn't built a computer in years. When battlefield 3 came out and I just bought what I thought was the best of everything. The processor didn't come with a heatsink, so I gave it a shot. Didn't work out as planned, so I went out and bought one. If it ruined the processor without a heatsink, I would just order another
It wasn't a troll review.
Sure it might be common sense for you guys, but yeah I was indeed "ignorant" of the matter because I haven't kept up with technology in quite awhile. My bad.

Paradox detected...
I guess he took it literally when he heard about air cooled CPUs..
I'm glad that he didn't try to water cool it, in that case. xD
n00b with money, that's all

First off, a lot of you guys thought my review was a troll. Then you don't even believe that I am the actual reviewer. I searched kylejmck on google which is my name that I use often, even to make music. That's how I found this. Of course I'm goin to defend myself. You all can continue bashing me, which sucks because it is a reminder that even intelligent people on a tech forum can be closed minded to such a simple possibilities. It's not even like I made a mistake. I just did something that wasn't a good idea. I wrote that review just to warn people who might be as absent minded as I was. Every computer I had ever built came with a heatsink and this one didn't. So of course I wondered, but I tried giving it a go without one. And if you wanna think I'm 100% stupid that's fine. But ease off to auto assume everything is troll. You're gonna miss out on some beautiful things. I thought it was pretty cool and saw a lot of humor in the fact that I was able to actually see this and defend myself. You should enjoy it as well.
I give you huge props for coming here and defending yourself in a calm manner. Kudos!

We're just jealous that you can afford to "oops" a $1000 CPU.

Of course if you reach 130c most likely something else will be damaged on your board/system but most likely the processor shouldnt be smoked.
Indeed. Kudos to Intel. Only the better built boards can survive such heat.Just to be clear on this all of the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors including the Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition come with built in Thermtrip # set at 130c that will auto shut the processor down so to avoid damaging the processor. So while there is some board and Bios level warnings and shut off I don't believe that you can by pass the Thermtrip # on the processor by switching it off in the Bios (If I am wrong please let me know). Of course if you reach 130c most likely something else will be damaged on your board/system but most likely the processor shouldnt be smoked.
