Title: Overclocked My Rig to 5.2GHZ, Now My CPU is on Fire... Literally?

"OMG, guys, I'm freaking out here. I just pushed my FX-8350 from 4.5 to 5.2GHZ and within 30 minutes my CPU just started smoldering - I swear I saw flames on the underside. Does anyone know how I can put out a CPU fire without ruining my motherboard?"

"Dude, that's insane! I think you might've taken the 'overclocked' part a bit too far. Did you not think to, I don't know, monitor your temps before pushing your rig to 5.2GHZ?"

" Bruh, that's insane! Did you not know that your OC rig was on the verge of self-immolation? Time to invest in some thermal paste and a fire extinguisher, ASAP!"

"Dude, I'm glad you got that under control before things got outta hand! Don't think I've ever seen someone literally set their rig on fire, nice way to level up your overclocking cred though. What kind of liquid cooling did you have to replace?"

 

[Koteyka]

"Dude, that's insane. Did you forget to apply thermal paste or is your rig just too hot? Time to take it apart and check for those fried components"

"Dude, that's insane! What kinda water cooling do you have on that thing? You need to get that fire under control ASAP, don't wanna burn down the whole house"

 

[VGrin]

"Dude, what's wrong with you? 5.2GHz is insane, even for an OC master like yourself. Guess you learned a new meaning for 'burning' a chip."
