This video was on tomshardware. And I can say from experience this is true. Way back when I went with an AMD xp1700. It was my first AMD CPU. I got all the parts in the mail and assembled it. Booted the system and started installing Win XP. Thought I would take the dog for a walk while windows was installing. Came back from my walk and instantly smelled the burnt electronics smell. Looked inside the case and the heatsink had fallen off and let the smoke out. Fried CPU and motherboard. It was the only time I ever owned an AMD. Went back to Intel shortly after that indecent.
