I normally wouldnt post websites, but i figured this is everything you shouldnt do :p
 
I was walking home with my 2100+ XP and the roads were covered with ice........guess what.......i slipped and bent some of the pins. weird stuff happens so you never know what happened to that shattered one :p

P.S. don't worry, the processor lived through it.

Me too! :D

Sorry there's no new photos. Now that I've got a new job, I've snapped the shot of a burnt Partner phone system. I've got a burnt IP Office I've taken photos of too. ;)

Yeah.. that's pretty boring stuff. :(
 
Ive been doing this for years now and ive never had a problem before. Now im a little confused as how this is bad. (or are they sayings its a waste of time?)

I thought it was ok to add a heatsink to the southbridge? I added one of those Zalman aftermarket northbridge HS to my Abit NF-7 southbridge and it eliminated some issues I was having with the onboard sound.

Waste of time. A 686B Southbridge and Wintech super I/O aren't going to get hot at all.

Essentially, the kid had a handful of heatsinks and stuck them wherever he could.

And apparently he did this before finding out if anything worked, because after he couldn't get the board to post, he RMA'd the motherboard and video card... .heatsinks and all.
