This happened to someone's motherboard after a fortnight of continuous crunching. Ouch! from http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=519290 WOW. Crunching 24/7 made his processor disappear. Hmmm, Never seen that happen before. Don't forget the heatsink and psu are also gone too. ;) Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST ID: 650269 ·

I rarely turn off my systems but then again, I am kinda weird... I gotta fever and the only prescription is more cowbell. ID: 650917 ·
