300A's dying all over the world!!!!!

[Storfe]

The past weeks, ive seen maaaany 300A's dying all over the world!!!!
Xriz have lost 3 cellys
A friend of mine lost one 300A
LordGumby lost his 300A
An neighboor has lost his 2. 300A on 4 weeks

Are the old cellys getting too old??????
Maybe Intel programmed them to dye now, se we go buying Celeron2 or P3... ?

[jopey]

well Xriz lost his cause his place is to neat and tidy!

LG lost his from a water leak.

and the others died of what?

It's all part of sIntel's master plan. They put a bug or two in the medocino celeron's that is designed to kick in when the new Celerons come out

Either that or the old celery's felt suicidel after they saw there owners drouling over the spec's of the new copper celeron's

You know that deal from the movie BLADERUNNER?

It goes something like, a candle that burns twice as bright last half as long.

Intel put a time limit just like those workers in Bladerunner.

Hey

Well it seems like mine is only one left guys........ well i hope not! it has been running @ 450 for a year now, and it is slowing down i think it is time for me to get my Abit BP6 with dual 566 celerons OCed! See u guys later!

><<<<&lt---------(>>>>><
I know i can OC my Celery 300 to 1000Ghz can u? How about a 40X to 72X?

[Professur]

Gee, do ya think that all that overclocking might be responsible?

Check the things it can't be first. It shortens the list.

Well chips werent made to o/c so they will die... One big reason I dont o/c...

WOW! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, guys!

This is the o/c'ing forum, right?

[Siamese]

I still have one running strong at 560mhz

[Sterling_Aug]

I have mine runng 464 MHz with a modified Intel P3-450 heatsink, lapped CPU slug, and air cooling.

Jeffy? over 2000 posts here and you don't overclock, man you got 'waaaaay' to much time on your hands, lol, jk.

[Rogue Gunman]

What you are seeing is the prolonged effect of elctromigration. It has been brought on by about a year's worth of operation of some of these chips under Vcore settings that are WELL outside of their specified safe range. It shouldn't really come as any surprise to anyone. After all, the potential risks and consequences were known to those who have opted to overclock way back there.

I wouldn't expect the average O/C'ed celeron (2.1 - 2.2 Vcore) to ever fall victim to such a premature death- at least not until the next likely upgrade takes place, which probably isn't too far into the future for most of these people.

[jopey]

well jeffy, you contridict yourself again. u say ur gonna OC then you say you don't WTF!!! if you don't want to don't rain on our parades when we OC. it is up to us 100% if we want to.

and as for the electromigratation thingy. it does happen but takes time. I think more likely these died from other factors!
