Hey Guys,

I have an old sempron processor that I found (2800+ I think) and I don't need it for anything. Can you guys think of anything cool to do with it, thanks

 

PS: please don't ask me to sell it, who wants a 14 yr old single core processor?!

Well if you can get motherboard and ram you could use it to fold.

Winter is around the corner, you could make a hand warmer out of it and a 9v battery :P

 

you can make a handwarmer with it. i've seen videos on youtube of people doing it.

How do I know what pins to use, just watched a vid

Well the processor is useless, just start testing, go tab by tab and see which one heats up. And don't worry, it doesn't get hot enough to hurt you...I think :P

is there a risk of it setting fire? if not ill do it and post it on here

A friend of mine bent the pins (so they don't poke him), drilled a small hole in the corner and made one into a necklace so I guess if you are into that you could make it for yourself easily.
Or make it into a necklace either way, it will probably sell with a higher price that way than as a functional CPU. :D

not really. Just use common sense. If smoke comes out of things, turn it off.

There might be charities that deal with computers/components, could maybe donate to one of them.

Drill a hole through one of the corners and put it on your keychain.

you can use a blowtorch or heat gun to melt the solder holding the pins on too. then you have a derpy source of gold.
