What's your hottest chip, any chip?

[larrymoencurly]

On anything in your system -- CPU, HD, power supply?

Anything above 100C?

I overclocked my celeron 300a for science night last year...without any cooling i let the surface of the die get up to 96 degrees celcius...then i turned the machine off - nearly sh*tting a brick at the time.

The chip ran fine afterwards...

Probably the hottest off hand (apart from the usual CPU and video card) without some form of cooling is the clock generator on the motherboard, and believe it or not, the EMU10K1 processor on my SBLive.

How hot does the EMU10K1 get? I have a Sb live and never really paid attention to how much heat it creates.

What about a freshly fried potato chip???

The hottest thing that I have ever encountered was my CPU. The power connector to my CPU Fan was loose and it was not cooled and it rose to abut 90-95 degrees celcius! When I wanted to touch it afterwards I nearly fried my hand when I touched it! And it was also overclocked!

I will never let that happen again!

My 8mhz 286 @ 12 mhz gets pretty damn hot.
