Comment on Burning a Magnesium NeXT Cube (1993)

Comments

The NeXT Cube's magnesium case was chosen for its excellent EMI shielding properties and heat dissipation, but this same material burns at approximately 2200°C (4000°F) - making this likely one of the hottest computer fires ever documented.

This record will be finally be challenged when Nvidia releases the RTX 6090.
