Naked Ol' AMD K6 (Pic & Vid)

[Hymn]

Its nothing great, i simply did this one for the fun of it... to get the feeling of taking the "clothes" off a processor. I am in the process of cleaning up my computer workbench, getting rid of all the old computers I have that have no use... so i took the processor out of an old AMD board (one of the first), and removed the heatspreader.

 

Interesting how AMD went from:

Heatspreader (K6) > No Heatspreader (Duron) > Heatspreader (64 Bit)

 

Was expecting when i took the heatsink off that it would have no heatsink.. i was wrong... Here is a pic:

 

 

and here is a small video of it hand-held: video link here

 

you may notice the bandage on my finger... first time experience something always goes wrong, this time i slice my finger. however, im ok

I got a proc just like that laying around in the basement downstairs with no socket to put it in, i should take it apart like you.

Its great for practice if you plan on doing something like it in the future... or if you just want to test yourself to have the experience.
