Jul 23, 2009 Rating CPU or Motherboard Damage by: Support Hello Rick, The short answer is yes. The long answer is that if the motherboard has a short or a cap that has burned up the result could be in runaway voltage. Rare but I have seen it a couple of times. If you overclock a CPU or for some reason the motherboard didn't sense the tempature of the CPU going beyond a certian tempature then if the CPU overtemped it could cause damage to the motherboard under the CPU. I saw a Dell Server that one of the CPU's actally got hot enough to cause a fire inside the chasis. Hope this helps...
