Seared i7 anyone?

So we tracked down the problem to the computer that apparently had a mind of its’ own, shutting down at random times throughout the day. While the obvious answer anyone would guess is overheating, supposedly the i7 should scale down it’s speed if heat becomes an issue it cannot overcome so this was thrown out of the window. But what we didn’t know was that the i7 cannot scale itself down when it doesn’t even have a heat sink touching it to help keep it cool.

Hide your wife, hide your kids and go check to make sure your heat sink is properly attached before burning (<— like that pun?) through some 3D renders.

i7 showing some skin, errrr brown skin.
