What's that smell?

Oh, so that's what that smell is...

I smelled a faint "very hot electronics" smell for the past few hours but couldn't figure out where it was coming from.

Then I happened to turn to my right and notice that the CPU fan on the 100 MHz Pentium in boygeorge (the Windows NT machine) wasn't turning.

No performance flakiness out of the ordinary, and once I jiggled a wire the fan started again, so maybe, if I'm lucky, no harm done [knocks wood].

Let me know if you fried it. I'm sure I have a 100 Mhz chip kicking around.

Hey! Can your motherboard take a faster chip? I'm sure I have a 133Mhz chip laying around. It may not be much of a step but it's better than nothing!

I never got a manual for this motherboard. (It was employer-owned hardware, then got surplussed so it's officially mine now; I was supposed to get the manual but it never turned up.) I have no idea whether it'll take a faster chip or not.
