This just begs to be shared:

(It's a consumer review of a powerful CPU: "I bought this CPU as an
upgrade for my video editing suite and after a week of use, my
computer just shut off and I started smelling burnt silicone. I
inspected my computer and found that half the socket was molten. I do
NOT recommend this CPU because of its obviously poor design. I already
wrote a letter to Intel about this. Guess I should have used a CPU
fan?")
Authentic or not, there's something to be learned from it.
Take care,
Martin
