    I once installed Windows on a Pentium 3 without cooler - not on purpose though - and it worked!
    Well, installing the OS was on purpose, the CPU being without cooler not so much.
    Apparently modern CPUs are snow flakes 🤓

      I think you’re confused about how heatsinks work.

      For reference: modern CPUs are a lot of hot air. 😁

        I beg to differ. I’m fairly sure I’ve heard about meltdown on modern CPUs.
        Are you really sure they aren’t snowflakes?
