I'd buy that there would be enough force from the thermal cracking of the ceramic to shatter the chip and blow it out of the socket, if you rigged the socket so the chip was loose. I don't buy, however, that there would be sufficient force to blow a hole in the motherboard and the table underneath. I suspect a squib
