it starts rattling really bad then stops which causes the processor to burn out or pop. If it pops watch your leg, it can hurt, REALLY BAD. |
Wow i didnt encounter anything that bad, plus my laptop is factory built, its an hp.
So they would have made it a bit safer with the heatsinks... I think..
Am I still good then? Do I just let it cool off? This is the only instance it happened for over a year.
I researched a bit and found out.
"If your cooler is insufficient and the temperature exceeds the maximum operating temperature, then this does not mean that the CPU is automatically damaged. With AMD CPUs, you will usually encounter crashes if the CPU is overheated; but these go away as soon as the CPU is cooler again. In the long term, running the CPU at a temperature that is too high may reduce the CPU life, since an overheated CPU is more prone to electromigration - even if it runs stable. With P4 CPUs, the CPU will turn its speed down automatically when it overheats. No damage to the CPU is possible, but the system will get slower while it's hot (which, in some cases, users might not even notice)."
please confirm. ^^
Do I just let it cool off and it might be better? I have an intel btw.
