My computer broke while watching certain material that is illegal in my country Denmark, possession of which can land you in prison and your life ruined (motherboard failure as far as I can tell, cooler no longer working). Sensitive stuff was at the screen

My computer broke while watching certain material that is illegal in my country Denmark, possession of which can land you in prison and your life ruined (motherboard failure as far as I can tell, cooler no longer working). Sensitive stuff was at the screen at the time of the occurrence. I've already cleared the HDD and RAM, are there any other components I should worry about before geting rid of the system? It's an older system so no SSD.

I'm guessing the RAM isn't a concern but it's still useful to have. I'm *guessing* the CPU won't hold any data either but what about cache and other components?

HDD is the only component (in a normal pc) that will hold any persistent data. To clear it you have to run a program like shred on linux - a quick 'format' won't actually delete the data. Use full disk encryption next time and you won't have to wipe anything.
