If there are sparks, arcs, or flames happening around your CPU, something is seriously wrong.

And the paper cowl catching fire is probably the least of your problems.

I once had a claw hammer socket decoupe from the motherboard. Good times.

I’m sorry, your motherboard had a socket for a claw hammer?

"It does now!"

And that resulted in fire/sparks?

Many. And hot melted plastic.
