cooking an Intel Pentium 4

so i decided to have some fun with an old Pentium 4 and dell motherboard i found in my box of old computer stuff. i put thermal paste of it and a metal lid i filled the lid with water and this is what happened.
at first not much happened... but after 3 minutes i got steam and bubbles.

as soon as it started to boil i threw in some rice to see if it would cook it.

this thing was so hot it bowed the board!

i let it sit for about 5 more minutes and believe it or not thermal protection never shut off the system until i had boiled water for well over 10 minutes. 
finally i decided to pull the rice out and see if it got cooked.

so there we have it, i have proved without a doubt for once and for all that the Intel Pentium 4 can be used as a rice cooker. this is one tough little CPU and a proud member of the Intel family forever.
