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?

If you are smart when you setup your homeowners insurance you can cover whatever you want with whatever amount you want to cover it for. I've personally got $10k coverage just for my basement, but that just barely covers my PC.

Again I said if one was smart on it it can happen.

Lol bruh you'd be lucky if that old a$$ PC is worth 2 Grand right now. Original titans ? You'd be lucky to get 300 a piece.

Time to take it to the next level. This guy should get a Core i9 7980XE next and destroy it with a shotgun :p

Instead of pondering the imponderable...I want to ask Hilbert how a Dutchman came up with 'rambunctious'. My grandmother was the last person I heard use that term, and she passed at 93, 20 years ago. :p

lol I use it from time to time and I'm 64.

Or... Just buy Corsair AIO coolers. They will cover any water damaged parts in the event of a leak. So they say.
