Of course, once your CPU's molecular structure has been altered to that of a pizza, you have to get a new one, but, Guys, it's Pizza we're talking here!

The power involved was very small so no blown fuses just a gradual build up of heat. If left long enough you could eventually start a fire! :-D Rich
