I have two socket 370 CPUs here:
- Pentium III 866MHz
- Celeron 850MHz
Both dead. One could say: the die died. Different motherboards fail to boot up with these.
Not such a big deal normally, but the celeron was a special model. The Celeron seems to emit more heat then normally when trying to boot with it. The Pentium III 866 was in my stash for years already. It should have been removed in working order back then. Not working anymore.
I wonder what happened, normally I would think these CPUs overheated at some point. Though this video seems to prove that Pentium III has a thermal protection: http://hackermaster.free.fr/ftp/thg/thg_video … cpu_cooling.zip
Elsewere I read that this protection is not always fast enough to save an overheating situation.
Anybody else have some anekdotes on this matter, preferably regarding the pentium III?
