Yeah there was this thread on XS... some guy ran his venice as high as 1.2GHz (down from 2.0) without a heatsink. He had a powerful fan though. He could do stock 2.0GHz with a BGA ramsink on it. 1GHz with no fan but with an IHS on (the heatspreader easily quadriples the surface area).Enjoicube said:someone got a 3000 working with no HS @ 1 GHZ

There's a problem with that... I wouldn't believe anything on THG unless the entire community can prove the same thing. THG has discredited itself so many times. That's why I stick with the [H], AnandTech, and... Well, pretty much everybody but THG.FreiDOg said:The old Tom's hardware video of an Athlon (Palimino core I think) frying when you rip the HS off in the middle of playing Q3 says well over 300C in the blink of an eye.
All the current CPUs will protect themsleves by shutting down, usually in the 135C range, to prevent damage.

It was the Palomino that first had the on-die diode, correct?
Yeah, I always figured my T-bird would've blown up. I never had a Palomino, though. I went straight to Barton. However, weren't there boards at that time that DID support the feature? And considering the fact that the thermal protection was a documented feature of the Palomino, wouldn't it have been proper to use a board that supported a documented feature?FreiDOg said:Linkiy to the original article
He used both a Tbird and a Palomino. The Palomino had thermal protection, but like most boards at the time, the motherboard Tom's used didn't support it, allowing the CPU to fry as well.

yup.pstang said:do you mean this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=968292 ...what an idiot
Most Processors have thermal throttling or the mainboard implements thermal shutdown via hardware monitoring... With that said, some lower end boards may not have this function...FreiDOg said:All the current CPUs will protect themsleves by shutting down
