What to do with a fried 2500k?

[Jarrod]

Hehe fried it by putting about 1.48v through it for two years, tried it with a completely separate PSU and mobo just to be sure it was dead though and indeed it was . However I did win big in the silicon lottery with my 3570k 4.8Ghz @ 1.21v

id say that was well and truly fried

This is what should happen to engineering samples, sell them as a souvenir of each CPU generation.

I remember TTL saying he has to drill holes in engineering samples he gets sent, so may as well.

could have one gold plated and put on a big chain

I don't think I could pull that off naturally

I think the Gold alone will do the trick

I made one of these! The lid came away from the pcb after a year or so and it got annoying.

Seen this makes me miss it. I have a spare kicking around too =/ problem is its a working cpu..... For now.

Nah, gold plated Titan GPU just to be a bit more unique, maybe a platinum plated and diamond encrusted 3970X in addition might help to really impress them

I don't think anything computer related will impress them. Just the jewellery xD

Aren't i5-2500K's covered by a warranty ?

I'm sure that I read that Intel will replace (just once) any retail versions that are "killed" by Overclocking.

They won't if it's out of warranty, which I assume OP's chip is. They won't replace it if you tell them you overclocked it (it says that frequency/voltage adjustment voids your warranty) but they won't know if it has been or not if you don't tell them (Unless there are visible burn marks or evidence of sub-zero cooling etc.)

How can they possibly refuse to replace a K series cpu that has been overclocked and still in warranty? That's the whole idea behind the K series. It's unlocked so it can be overclocked.

I know, it is kind of silly, but you can see here.

Here's my attempt i did a while ago on a Pentium 4.

Albeit with a unsteady hand and piece of tater drill-iomos.

Hurts to having it in your pocket when driving...


Get liek 6ghz+

That's pretty neat - I rounded the corners on mine so its OK when its in my pocket xD

Also, the warranty had ran out on this already xD

Yesss...
Nowadays processors play a KEY role in contemporary world

 

[Nuclear Fusion]

I really think they should make engineering samples into keyrings to sell, may as well as they have to be destroyed anyway and they'd make great souvenirs of each CPU/GPU generation

 

[esoteric]

I want to see some processor earrings.

Got you both beat

Here is my old 200MMX processor that I have had on my key ring for many years:
