How to fake this as broken?

unplug the fan and run furmark for a couple of days

>>55696962
I have 6 hours.

why

Jizz on it

>>55696970
It's a long story but it's not "I'm 22 living with my parents trying to abuse the system so they'll buy me a new computer xd lmao" in case you were wondering

>>55696968
Then rip off all the capacitors and glue them back on

>>55696981
Lmao post results faggot

What do the red and black cables do? Because when I took it out, the red came loose on one end.

Run some mains voltage at random over the pcb or pci connector. If something blows it should look like a faulty part but even without letting out the magic smoke something should give even with brief contact.

>>55697025
Preferably something without smoke considering I do not have fire insurance.

>>55697012
Provide power to the fan on the heatsink

>>55697052
Do what on the who?

>>55697052
This. Take a 9v battery and connect it to where the fan is soldered on the back of the PCB with some wire.

In all honesty, there's probably nothing you can do with your level of knowledge that wouldn't end up with you dying.

>>55697061
Welp. That's shitty. I really need to kill this or any other part of my PC in the next 6 hours.

>>55696948
Take a 9volt battery and connect it to random points on the board until it dies. Bonus points for daisy chaining multiple batteries

>>55696948
Piss on it

>>55697069
Running a strong magnet over your harddrive will turn it into a brick. That's probably the safest thing you can do, but I wouldn't be surprised if you still somehow manage to hurt yourself.

>>55697079
This is the easiest way to brick a board.

In case anyone is wondering, here is the interior of my PC without the card inside if anyone has any better advice.

>>55697035
Open the window you idiot. And brief contact only, this isn't some 'urban youth' you're trying to subdue with your tazer

>>55697069

You're going to jail, mate.

>>55697069
Considering the card I bet you have a 110v-230v switch in your power supply, if it's any part of your pc then just switch it.

>>55697102
Welp. Time to get out some appropriate music. *price is right losing theme*

>>55697087
On the back of the PSU there should be a switch that allows you to change between 110V and 230V. Change it, turn it on, then change it back. Congratulations, you have killed your PSU.

>>55697103
>>55697117
So when it gets killed, I just switch it back?

>>55697089
>this isn't some 'urban youth' you're trying to subdue with your tazer
If you don't use a gun for that, you deserve whatever happens to you.

>>55697128
Yep

>>55697103
>>55697117
we should date, are you comfortable in sailor uniforms?

>>55697128
Yes. Switch it back to hide the evidence. Otherwise you go straight to jail!

>>55697141
Sure, but I should probably let you know that I have no arms or legs. I'm typing this with my chin as we speak.

Lmao post results please

I know im almost definitely being a pussy but I feel like doing this, im gonna blow up my apartment.

>>55697128
There will br a short bang, but no one should die except the PSU.

>>55697156
results are meh he'll just hear a bang and pc won't turn on

>>55697082
That's not even true, I used to have a laptop hard drive that was fucking up and I could get another few days out of it by running a big ass magnet across it a few times

>>55697169
Dude I have a roommate here who is 10 times more paranoid than I am watching me do this constantly asking me if what im doing is going to cause a fire.

>>55697169
dude wtf it's you again?

>>55696948
Just desolder a part and it should fuck up on its own
>implying you have a soldering iron
Just burn the connections with a lighter to get the solder to drip off

>>55697181
Again, it's only a loud bang. I've once had this when playing Half Life Ep1 on settings too high and with a weak PSU.

>>55696948
If you have a soldering iron you can just use it solder some things that should not be connected together that should kill it.

>>55697181
Is he cute? Post pics.

Let's go back to the red and black wires near the fan. Can someone tell me their purpose?

>>55697190
This will leave burning marks and will be easy to spot.

>>55697163
Nothing is gonna blow you pussy, just do it

>>55697181
>don't think
>do it
>watch him squeak at the bang
>switch it back erase your fingerprints from switch

>>55697214
Its called a power cable

>>55697214
It's just the power cable for the fan

>>55696948
>>55696981
lemme guess, you work at some shitty company that forces you to use obsolete hardware because of:
>muh costs
>"i don't need to invest in hardware"

is that right?

>>55697229
HOLD UP PLAYA

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE RED END GOING INTO THE FAN WAS DISCONNECTED

>>55697214
The bang is more like a pop, it's the sound of the fuse inside the PSU blowing. So flick the switch and turn it on while you and your roommate tweak each others nipples.

It's true, when that drive finally died it was what lead me to create the TidOS distribution. Here's a picture of my laptop after the disk died (you can see I have 2 flash drives plugged in which isn't really proof but I promise this is all true)

>>55697214
Ok, does your graphic card have a power cable to the mainboard?

>>55697241
Not quite. I explained it all yesterday and no one was of help. Then again, much more people are responding today.

>>55697244
your card will throttle down when it'll start getting hot
everything will work fine

>>55697244
The fan wont run

>>55697254
Wtf you eatin, son?

>>55697255
No it fits in like a card in a slot.
>>55697262
And what if the black side going into the fan came loose too?

>>55697254
I believe you. There was a research paper released a few years back that found aligning small weak magnets horizontally on a HDD could improve transfer speeds by as much 36%

>>55697271
It's called a burrito. It's a flour tortilla with beans, cheese, and sour cream inside. I also put some cheese, sour cream, and salsa on top of it which made it very tasty.

hit it with big hammer i guarantee successful.

>>55697273
>And what if the black side going into the fan came loose too?
Still nothing. The card will still work.

>>55697293
Fuck. How bout the DVD tray? Anything easy I can do there?

>>55697276
You know, these jokes (delete system32, Alt+F4 for Superadmin mode, etc) are as old as the internet and really stale.

>>55697301
Nope. Just hit the switch on the psu. It's the quickest and easiest way, and probably the only way of you not hurting yourself.

>>55697301
hit it with big hammer. i guarantee successful.

>>55697301
You can try switching out the mainboard battery to a dead one. Normies wont detect it and call it broken (if they are stupid)

>>55697311
This.

>>55697311
I trust you but im going to save it for an hour before my due time. In case someone has something better and safer sounding.

>>55697325
Bent pins on cpu. Say it was because you moved it around alot

>>55697325
dude nothing can be safer than just blowing up a fuse

actually aligning very small ( like <500Å ) magnets horizontally on a HDD platter DOES improve transfer speed

Why the fuck do you wanna do that?

Are you the guy who needed to break a computer because your boss said something along the lines of "We won't upgrade until PCs break"?

>>55697395
Nope sorry.

Those what now??????

So it's an excuse for not finishing a paper on time then right.
I hope they get someone techie to extract the HDD and copy it out for you.
:^)

>>55697411
Oh.

Remove CPU Heatsink and play some vidya. 3D recommended

>>55697428
Nope. Sorry.

>>55697429
What does that look like?

Yes just remove the fan on the gpu and then run some gpu benchmark program. either that or the 9 volt. Trust me.

>>55697429
All that will do is BSOD. It won't be a permanent solution.

File: images.jpg (1KB, 96x80px) Image search: [Google]

1KB, 96x80px

do it while the card is running to get immediate feedback when its broken enough

>>55697466
OP please run 9 volt on bottom of card, preferably to the point below where the GPU is soldiered.

>>55697466
Then keep it running.

>>55697452
Usually it's a fan over the CPU.
If your BIOS supports it keep fan speed on lowest settings for extra heat

Maybe if you bothered explaining I'd bother to help. Pretty sure my advice has already been covered by other anons anyways.

pics of roommate pls

>>55697565
Imagine a hairless Simon from Alvin and the chipmunks but much fatter.

>>55697632
Is your roommate /g/?

Place tinfoil under the card, well touching all the contacts, turn on and see the magic happen, then remove tinfoil

>>55697723
That was a good one dude. I actually laughed out loud. I also changed his messenger nickname to /g/.

>tons of advice
>OP is a pussy
>advice for ways in which OP won't be able to kill himself
>OP is still a pussy
Why even ask here if you're not going to do it?

>>55697283
>flour tortilla
>not corn
What are you, fucking white?

try to short the fan connector
try to short random shit on the motherboard or graphics card

once I broke my motherboard because I took a ram module out and put it back wrong (only half of the module was in the slot) then started my pc, you should try this

>>55696970
he probably wants to sabotage his roommate's pc because he masturbates to japanese anime loudly

>drop a screw in your motherboard
>run it
>enjoy your short circuit

>>55697379
What? Source pls

>>55697759
To be fair the average person would think 99% of advice from 4chan is meant to harm you or your possessions in some way.

>>55697759
Maybe OP is currently using their computer so can't do it until they turn it off but they're addicted to the internet and will go into severe withdrawl if shut down

>>55696948
microwave it for 1 sec

>>55698313
But that's exactly what OP wanted

get soldering iron
short across a resistor or few.

>>55696981
>22
more like 16

>>55698313
Well yes, but considering OP wants his shit to break, he came to the right place.
