I have had one break. It was flooded when a pipe burst in the house near the computer. And the whole CPU didn&#x27;t break, only part of the memory controller. So for a while I ran an A10-5800K in single channel mode with a single stick of RAM until I could buy a new CPU. Interestingly, I had water pour out of my HD-7950 (it was completely submerged), and it is still running fine a couple of years later (I did dry it for days on a fan, then completely dissasemble it, wash with isopropanol, and re-assemble it very carefully).<p>They are much hardier than we give them credit for.
