dead fx-8350?

[lolzisgoodforu]

So a good while ago i accidentally killed my fx-8350 due to overvoltage, and over the past almost year now, its just been setting in my closet doing nothing, what should i do with this? i like displaying things but i dont really know how to display a cpu as i usually nail things to my wall and im obviously not gonna nail my cpu to the wall, so any suggestions on what i should do with the old chip?

you can kill a cpu by undervolting ? sounds like you just need to clear CMOS no?

 

 nvm

I would just throw it away if it's completely dead. Off topic: How much voltage were you pushing through it?

i cant fully remember, but at the time i didnt know the dangers of putting too much voltage. i think it was like 1.600V or something stupidly high like that
