Man Shoots AMD Threadripper Processor with gun - Bullseye

Man Shoots AMD Threadripper Processor with gun - Bullseye

I never seem to understand or get the point of photos destroying stuff, I can only assume something happened with the system or somebody wanted to post a rambunctious photo of some kind, but yeah, somebody took a small caliber gun and shot a Threadripper processor bullseye, and then took a photo of it. 

What I can tell however is that the Ryzen Threadripper heat spreader seems to be a rather strong one. I'll just stop talking and leave it at the photo as posted on Reddit by Desecration, who just shared the photo and left no comment whatsoever. If this was a working setup, what a total waste of money and resources ... Or hey, perhaps it was a disgruntled Intel employee? I dunno man. The lower part of the photo does show broking liquid cooling of some kind, including a rather moisty area covered with coolant drops. Perhaps a leak destroyed the setup, and he shot it?

That's not what I wrote. I said the mobo and CPU were damaged by a liquid leak (just following Hilbert's theory) and the person already got his money from the insurance company (and decided to put the PC carcass to "good" secondary use) or was infuriated because the money was denied (and decided some shooting will alleviate stress). Nobody said he would try to get insurance money after he put a bullet in the thing.

Ah my bad.

When I was building water cooled systems, I made sure the liquid is not conductive enough to short stuff if it leaks. And it did leak several times. PC freezes, you shut it down, rinse the components and everything is fine. I would imagine that modern AIO systems use similar liquids and will not kill components if they leak. But I might be wrong.

Judging from the photo he/she took the ram out aftrer shooting it. Idoit. Take the ram out first like you did with the GPU's. The CPU water cooler was intact at the time when the shot took place. Seems the whole cooling loop was intact at the time due to the moisture all over the board. I don't care if you destroy the stuff you just paid a ton of money for but that also doesn't mean you not a fool.

I had a lemon bike, I think I posted it in one of the pub's threads before.

I did a burnout for exactly 7 minutes and 40 seconds to ensure it died in a spectacular fashion (It seized with a nice clunky noise) and then me and my friends smashed it with a few tools.

Then whatever was left that was metal we brought to a scrapyard. Got maybe like 60 euro's from it.

This is the proper way to finish off a vehicle of any kind.

OT:

Anyone got a bet on anger issues? Thats what I would bet on.
