Looks kinda fake to me.

I don't think CPUs have enough energy stored in them to explode like that. They usually just smoke. :P

That and... there's a hole in the motherboard that goes through the table, so I'm thinking... real explosives, like a big firecracker or something, lol. :lol:


And also, in this video, you can actually see the guy reaching under the table to light the firecracker or whatever it is. :lol:

Im going to aggree only because the heatsink is not attaced to the motherboard. For any cpu to clock like that the heatsink is going to need to be locked onto the motherboard. With out that pressure the contact patch will be to thick and the heat will just stay in the cpu.

Wow, seen this sooooo many times. It's obviously fake, but still very slightly entertaining I suppose.

yeah, a duron on 4gig is going to need more than a heatsink to even boot into windows. SOOO FAKE!!! Got me though first couple of times watching it.

It is entertaining though
