Here's another one from the same guys. Geez, they have way to much time and money to waste on their hands.

I've seen a few of these stupid videos, most of them are fake, they usually use fireworks or something..

Yea a processor would not explode like that when overclocked... it has failsafes and other things that if it gets above a certain temperature the motherboard or the powersupply shuts off and goes into a deep sleep kind of thing, trust me Ive tried overclocking this old Pentium II of mine to 7 GHz and even it didnt explode.

they used a small charge. theres smoke comming from underneath the table before the processors pop.

Yea, and on my amd 3500 if I put the clock from 300 to 320(not sure wha units, that's just what it tells me in the cell menu) the motherboard beeps at me and I have to reset the bios.

Probably mhz... 300 mhz is 3 ghz and 320 mhz is 3.2 ghz, most overclockers display in mhz for somereason even though we are out of the stone ages where Pentium I's used to be like 100 mhz...

well the actual clock is 2.37 Ghz. I'll have to see exactly what it is next time I restart my comp..

Yea I have an AMD athlon 64 3200+ that says its 2 ghz clock, but when you combine that with the 2ghz FSB speed its actually more like a 3.2 ghz pentium. So if your clock is 2.37 the 300 mhz is cutting your speed short.

It actually shuts down the second it goes over the limit. :P

Trust me, i've noticed it. My limit is 80.. One time my fan detached, and it got higher and higher, till it shut down when it passed 80 degrees.

Just so you guys know. You wouldn't believe how much even just a heatsink protects your processor. If you turn on a processor for even seconds without one it will break regardless of if it's overclocked.
