Is it possible to make a necklace out of a CPU?

[asiancorruption]

Well, i have this pentium from 10 years ago that was probably not dead when I took it out of my mom's old computer, but is definitely dead now. it was one of the first 64 bit cpus on the market I believe. and it has a 65 nm lithography, a tech fossil. Since it was the first computer that I remember, do you guys think it's possible to make it into a necklace?

If i drill into the thing with the narrowest drill bit I can find and drill in the corner, will the cpu spilt or something?

You should be fine, people do this all the time.

[babadoctor]

no

it wont

do you know what a cpu is made out of?

they do???

how do they drill into it?

[GalacticRuler]

Why don't you attach a loop onto the CPU instead of trying to drill into it?

[The Official Czex]

Maybe... It sounds interesting.

[asiancorruption]

no

it wont

no, tell me, senpai 

[hypnodog]

If it's made from Silicon, you can drill it with no problem. If it's made from Ceramic...that's a different case. You will need to buy a Diamond drill bit and drill it nice and slowly.

where tho? theres no hole in it. Unless you have a different approach.

i thought that it was like a bunch of microcompacted diodes put together??

[babadoctor]

no, tell me, senpai 

its made out of yandere chans love for senpai

so indestructable

any instant way to tell? the pentium is beside me and it weighs a bit more than what I'd initially thought

Get some sort of loop that you can put a string through and superglue/solder it to the CPU.

It's silicon, arsenic, gallium, and a few other elements that have been heated to an extreme into a solid piece. As a solid, it can be split, but with a fine enough bit it could work well.

oh, thats actually not a bad idea. I can probably soldier a loop.

But from ten years ago? It could be a ceramic CPU like my 2001 Celeron.

will the bits out of a decent electric drill be good enough? If not, I could probably go into wood shop and do it, I know how since I took it in grade 9.

If you have a tiled floor, tap each one and see if it makes the same sound. If not, try tapping it against something and it will most likely sound a bit like glass. I'm not good at describing that sound lol

For Silicon, it should feel kinda rough and smooth. Not sure how else to describe it sorry lol

Do they still make cpus out of ceramic nowadays? if not, when did they stop and why?

Not now. But 10 years ago? They made ceramic Celerons. Can we see a picture for verification?

Yep, just drill through the corner as far inwards as you can, use as little pressure as possible, and just take it slow, the smaller the bit the better, you can slowly increase the size as you go if you need it to be larger.

My old celeron is on a keychain right now. Easiest to drill through the green pcb right beside the heat spreader.

Dont mind the mess of thermal paste on it. My uncle rebuilt the pc for my mom a few years back and holy shit, he must've sqeezed half a tube on it.

Once you are done with the drill bit you should put that on the necklace as well

I'll need a really small bit as seen above.
