Only if you had the facility to up the power initially.if a processor accepted, say, 1 ev then there would be no more provision within the confines of the supply to over charge. Basically, the board cannot let any more voltage through.

Hi GWH,

My motherboards have bios selectable voltages that will power different chips within the range.. ie: some P4's take xV, others will take yV.. You can change this in the bios (It helps people who overclock their pc's)

So yes, there is provision on ~some~ boards to do this. MattF will know better than me though as I only dabble enough to 'get by' with my pc's.

Your job sounds pretty interesting btw.

Rob.

EDIT: I'll let you guys get back to the dogging chat now - pervs

[gwh200]

We are wonderful sir, thank you for you question - Mrs G is out dogging again, a whole group of them outside....

How are you sir, and Mrs H and the Hlets?

Mrs h and the hleys ate all good ta....any small g's on the horizon?

[MattF]

Yeah - and we've got loads of pictures too.........

You rotter.

[MudSurfer]

You just do that 'cos you know I'll be trying my damnedest to resist, don't you.

Oh my... Mr griffiths sir... And mrs griffiths of course how the

warning to the person who did it
i wont hurt you i will hurt your commy
i will spike you
you will be sorry
you will have no commy for months

it was me.. im really sorry because now u hav found out I dont want u 2 spike my commy for moths

[gwh200]

Dude - take a quick look around you - is there a door, does it lead to the 'outside'?

You should open it and pop out there.....

George, whats with all the paranoia?
You need to talk to Frank!

I use a lot of 24 v control via an hmi scada system. This is windows based control for an industrial application, in effect a 3 phase computer. The only way to induce a power spike would be to replace the 300amp fuses in the mains incomer for about 1000 amp and hope that the wiring wouldn't melt, before the processor melted. This is exactly what you would need to do with a home computer.
There is just to much"fail safe" stuff in the way.

What about these motherboards with software control of the processor voltages in the bios ? Could something change the settings to over power your processor, thus blowing it ?

Not a 'spike' as such but is it possible?

I was actually mulling that one over earlier. I'd personally say not, but as to whether it's possible in reality could be a different thing. I would think that the BIOS itself will contain failsafes to prevent any such thing happening. It may be possible to cause a temporary shutdown by altering certain parameters and taking something out of it's accepted range, but actually damaging any motherboard components, I'd personally say not.

I'm always willing to be proven wrong if there's evidence to suggest otherwise, however.

matt can i ask something that i beleave every barnsley lad i have seen and heard them doing
bearing in mind that i only met barnsley lads in shall we say in a HMP hotel
i realy need to know that its not wide spread in barnsley

Ask what? Is what widespread?

its more like a worm that hits while thats going on
its not 1 or 2 volts
one side may run at 98 and it would be changed to 240

You're missing what Graham is saying. Why do you thing they are called regulated power supplies? Everything is regulated electronically through fixed value components and feedback circuits. You cannot alter a fixed output source without physical acces to the unit to change those fixed value components, feedback circuits and the incorporated protection circuitry.
