      Wow that looks dope. Have never seen anything like that even with much higher power chips. I assume it burned interally and the gas/heat pressure cracked it open.

      I doubt it is OS related. This shouldnt be possible without custom firmware that turns off the power and temperature limits. Unless it had a manufacturing error i guess.

      Is the broken chunk loose so you can tear it off?

        It isn’t completely loose it works I think as LEDs light up but it burns getting up to I would say ~80 C in about 3 seconds. I got a new one today and it works maybe I will attach a PC cooler to run it
