Anyone still own old CPU's?

[DildorTheDecent]

Athlon XP 2400+ that is still functional.

[SimpleG]

people give me their old computers, i open them, see if they are good, if they are i use them, if they aren't i open them and pick all the parts.

my cellar is literally full of boxes of old pc parts.

and by full i mean really full

Take all the gold and sell it!

My smallest drill bit was incredibly blunt so I had to make the pilot hole with a hammer and nail, lol.

This is what happened to my CPU. It's scratched and the attempted drilling spot was caused by a drill bit for wood. I didn't even realize it until I realized it wasn't going through. Same goes with those little marks. Drill bit was jumping around a little.

No matter. It gives it it's own personal flavour.

It screams: hey, I was never intended for this use but ones creativity has risen me to new heights

It lulls: while I may no longer function correctly and serve your needs, I have lived a well and fruitful life

... or something along those lines.

I think my first computer, a Mac Performa 580CD is still kicking around somewhere. Last I knew, it's 33 MHz Motorola 68040 processor is still as functional as ever.

 

Though the same cannot be said of it's built-in CRT display, which made scary crackling noises and an ozone-like odor last time I tried to turn it on.

[Speedbird]

2 Pentium 4s, a Prescott and a Northwood IIRC.

Yeh, a pentium 4... I tried getting the heatsink off and make the cpu into a keychain like other people on this post have... the thermal paste is better that some of the fucking super glue I've used... and I'm covered in dust...

Hehe

I wanna do that with my Haswell in 2020!!

[DIV1D3]

Yeh, I'm fairly sure I own the oldest CPU around, well at least the member who looks at this thread with the oldest CPU. 

Pentium II MMX, SECC cooler, and there is no socket, rather a slot!

 

[spoiler=Before *Teardown*/Clean]

 

There's quite a few pics, and once again they are al of horrible quality thanks to my iPoop 4th Gen.

 

For me removal of the heatsink and exposure of the PCB would be almost impossible, there's pretty much no way around getting it off without damaging it somehow.

I still have my first pc at my dad's house and it has a pentium 100mhz. It was a used pc from my uncle. I think I got it in 1997. I think. Don't remember exactly.

Great times.

Heat it up first and then remove the heat sink. The thermal paste becomes more gooey.

The thing hasn't turned on for like 8 years... Idk why ( wasn't interested in PCs back then) and neither did A&R so they just gave us a new one. 

[flibberdipper]

I have a bunch of 1.7GHz P4s, a 1.6GHz P4, a 1.5GHz P4, a couple 2.8GHz P4s (Prescott non-HT, Prescott HT, maybe, and a Northwood non-HT), 2.66GHz Prescott P4 on LGA 775, 3.2GHz P4 Prescott on 775, a 3.2GHz Celeron D on 775, 500MHz PIII (slot 1 for HELIOS), and then the trusty 2.4GHz Northwood HT in my Dell (Socket 478, of course).

You might be able to bake it in an oven for a little.

I have a 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 Celeron system, still functional. Got it in 2001. Before that had a Pentium 1 and 3 too, both sold.

[Faceman]

AMD 3200+

 

Still rocking flash games like a bawse.

[newbie]

2.8GHz Pentium 4 I remember the day I dismantled the computer it powered when I got my parts for my new build lel

[sgloux3470]

There's an old computer in my parents closet (that I'm pretty sure still works.) with a pentium 4 I believe. 

 

That's about as old as it gets for me though.

[Dabombinable]

Non-removeable:

AMD 1982 286

Cyrix 486 33MHz

I had a old pentium from my birth year, Lost it. 

[OCing Noob]

My oldest is i5 4690K .ROFL

[Timmy Kill]

Pentium 3 without a pin (I place it in the socket and then I place the cpu), Pentium 4 (founded next to a trashcan) and my q8200 that I use in the "gaming" rig

[Husky]

My oldest CPU is an AMD Athlon XP 2600+

It's sitting in a GIGABYTE 7VM400M-RZ and it still works.

It's running Windows XP like a boss.

See attached picture.

[DigitalHermit]

I've got a P4 HT in a Toshiba Satellite A60 and a dying P4 non-HT...
