Christian Ney Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Funny thing to start the year. As always I receive old/new computer to build or dismount. A guy told me to check his celeron based system : He told me that it is not working good, not very stable, crashing..... I dismounted the system(only the cpu heatsink lol). And told him, it's because the cpu was too hot aka Warranty void if removed Edited January 10, 2011 by Christian Ney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Antinomy Posted January 10, 2011 Crew Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not the first time to see such stupidness. I've seen photos of AMD K8 (maybe the sellers thought that they're like K7 which had and open die and you could put a sticker or the package). I'd say it's a rather common bug. I've heard about cases when the cooler was glued to CPU (thermal grease - WTF is this? ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Haha! Use sticker for optimal conductivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I've heard about cases when the cooler was glued to CPU (thermal grease - WTF is this? ). True, I have also some CPU that were glued to the heatsink, was hard to detach(I used a blowtorch to warm the heatsink) Maybe the sticker is an alternative to save glue (lower cost !!) or to always use rma till warranty is over Edited January 10, 2011 by Christian Ney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 You bought it like that or you added the sticker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_A_V Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You bought it like that or you added the sticker ? I bought it exactly in that condition as shown at photo. When I asked shop staff "What the f*ck is that" he told me "I have no idea what this thing for. It was already stickered when we received it from our main office" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
