a friend of mine once did a nice test.
he bought a brand spanking new AMD athlon for his gaming rig back in the days.
he was eager to try out the CPU so he connected it with some components to his fathers pc which was also new.
within seconds of turning on he fried his CPU, his fathers motherboard and every component on it
he tested his AMD CPU outside the case without any fans
you can fry one PC , but 2 PC's at the same time?
ow boy did he had to get a extra job to pay up for both PC's
