Beware the apple sticker

[Crashgate3]

At work, I've just been told off for peeling the sticker off an apple I was about to eat and sticking it on top of my PC, because it will 'make the PC overheat'.

How much do we think a 1cm x 1.5cm plastic sticker will affect PC cooling then?

It depends if it was just this time or you had just put the sticker on the other 2000 you had placed there before over your working life

Why not put the waste in the bin instead of defacing the PC with stickers ?.

I think you owe it to OCUKnow to see how many stickers you need to stick on top of your pc in order to make it overheat

I thought slapping an Apple sticker on an intel machine just inflated the price tag and reduced it's general compatibility/performance?

I laughed

I must also stress that this was the same person who called me over to her computer a few months ago as it was 'making a funny noise' where I found a peice of paper resting against the front, completely blocking the intake vent and the fans screaming.

If it's between the CPU and the heatsink, quite a lot. Otherwise I reckon you'll get away with it

You should have told him it was ok because it was an Apple computer.

Maybe it was one of the old Apples with the IBM cores - they ran pretty hot I hear...
