sometimes im reminded of that one video where a guy bypasses the automatic thermal shutoff on a CPU and fries an egg on the fucking thing

@pearshapes yo could you send me a link to that? Thats something I need to see for sure

@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun youtu.be/KS8jBPpfrvk this is pretty similar to the one i viewed ages ago, but yeah. the idea is that you pop off the cooler, disable thermal shutoff/throttle in bios, and just fuck around and find out

@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun awful for it more like. the silicon inside the computer tends to start changing on a chemical level and plastic starts burning, it's not ideal
