The one computer part that will never die

[Recon97]

I killed every part in my old PC

Should I call the police now?

I have a hard drive from 1998 with windows 98 installed on it. It still works as far as I know, but it was ripped out of the computer before it was scrapped. Last time it turned, on it loaded and still had all info on it that had been put there years ago.

My ancient Thermalchill 480mm radiator... 7 years old and it's still working.

I dont know what will last for ever, but I expect my pny 650 to beacuse it just reeks of reliability.

I have a Galaxy 9500Gt that just won't die. It first was in a house that flooded and that caused it to have a lot of corrosion all over it. Without cleaning it up, I installed it in a outdated dell and it worked. I then used that PC as a daily driver and after about a week of use, the fan got stuck, but that wasn't stopping it because I ran it for 6 months without a fan. The Dell then died(PSU failure, took out the MB), so when I was evaluating the parts form the Dell I thought: "I wonder how far I can overclock it". I raised the core from 550 to 735Mhz and the ram from 200 to 239Mhz(478Mhz because of PC math), then ran Furmark and many games on it and that still didn't kill it. About a year ago I started doing static discharges on it because I don't care about that card anymore, but it still runs today.

Really most things in a computer are hard to kill (besides from static electricity LOL), even with water a LOT of electronics will survive if you dry them, case in point linus's laptop

The CPU and motherboard that I've gotten off ebay. The motherboard is green, but the backside (around the CPU) is burnt brown. The q6600 CPU has been pretty agressively overclocked by the previous owner (2,4->3,2GHz). As you can see, the top of the CPU doesn't even say anything anymore, because the top layer has been burnt into the base of the heatsink. No, you can't clean that crap off and you can't mechanically scratch it off either (I tried). Nonetheless, the system is still alive to this day and just refuses to die. Of course, it's been reset back to original specifications, in order to prolong it's life.

 

 

P.S.: No worries, it was cheap enough and my mother still uses that PC.

My case?

a certain dell keyboard. it has been hammered for many years and nothing is loose on it. the letters on the keys are still showing strong as well.

My heat sink is still dissipating heat even after the whole computer (old one) had completely died or ever component except the freaking heat sink. I place it on a hot object and it still dissipates heat! Holy mother of Satan! It is indestructible!

 

:lol:

all my parts, except for a cheap PSU that I bought for my very first build. (okia black, 550 wat, $20...) and my foxcon motherboard blew a cap when I put in an OC'd phenom II x4 in it, when it had a TDP limit of 95 watts...
