Are you sure about that? I'll admit I haven't used AMD processors in quite some time, but I seem to recall that this wasn't the case. Back then (within past 3 years) if your processor fan failed on an AMD system the computer would continue to run until the processor fried. An Intel system would shut itself off rather than burning up.
Is this still the case now? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus G71G OS Win 7 Pro x64 CPU Core 2 Duo T9400 Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC.
