Cooked Athlon XP,what to do with.

[Circlenaut]

Sadly my stupid mind stayed up to 3pm 2 night and put the wrong side of the waterblock on. Now what should I do with the pure body of the worlds beloved AMD Athlon XP 1700+.

give it to me? BTW how do you put a waterblock on the wrong side? its got barbs on the other side...

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

ah, havent heard that before (waterblock issue). keychain would be the best, espcially one that fast. or i guess you could glue it to your motherboard and pretend you have a dual rig

It was 3 in the morning and I woke up at 10 that day. I really wasnt paying attention. I relized the error happen this morning.

What's with you people destroying cpu's?

 

[Wallydraigle]

Glue it to the sidewalk outside you house and see who all tries to pick it up. Either that or put it on a train track and see how flat it gets.****


**** Disclaimer: Do not actually put your Athlon or any other processor on the train track. It is very dangerous and you could derail the train or be prosecuted. In the event that you do however put your Athlon or any other processor on a train track I am not resposible in any way shape or form for any consequences of that act. Do with your belongings as you please at your own discretion.

Throw it through your window and scream like a mad.
Then jump (but keep screaming).

I dont care how late it is or how little sleep or how much you have had to drink I dont see how it is possible to put the wrong side of a waterblock on the CPU not only would it be very obvious that is is on wrong but it would be impossible to mount

 

[yaethom]

yeah, omnievil, I'm really curious as how it would be possible to put the waterblock on the wrong side....
Unless your using some kind of different design that has the barbs on the side of the block rather than on top.

**It boggles the mind**

I'm guessing he put the waterblock on upside down, not on the back (pin) side of the processor!



Sorry about your mishap. I'd put it right on the border of my monitor to remind me to be more careful.

I am not familiar with this waterblock term... no, I'm not a newbie



EDIT- Oh wait..it just clicked. A waterblock is what you put on your proc when you do a water cooled system. Correct?

as you can see why so many were confused as to how it could be backwards
