Homemade Intel Keychain!

[Sinakaru]

So I got this old Pentium E5200 from my work, and I decided to take it to the drill press and the belt sander, and it turned out pretty awesome! I didn't realize how thick the IHS was on top of the die!

i really wanna do that with my 478 pentium 4, but the pins though......

[Aytex]

Wow that looks nice

[terrytek]

now can someone give me a dead cpu to do this with?

Yeah, I also had a Pentium 4 lying around (with pins on it as well) but I didn't want it stabbing my leg or having to shave off all the pins

You can get an LGA CPU on amazon pretty cheap

yeah but i don't want to take an already working cpu and drill it. kinda of a waste tbh.

I might do this with one of the old phenoms i have as well as an old core 2 duo.

Thinking of doing this to my Athlon 7750 but it still works and I'd have to remove all of the pins. Yah or nah?

 

Edit: Give you an idea of how much this thing is worth: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR5.TRC1.A0.H0.Xathlon+7750.TRS0&_nkw=athlon+7750&_sacat=0

I say go for it! It's a pretty awesome conversation piece!

Meh, it's an older CPU that there's an abundance of, not like many people will be using them in systems. Most of the unsold ones will be scrapped for raw materials anyway, so might as well make something cool out of it and recycle it.

[Pittman90]

it would be really cool if you could get a broken 5960x to use since it says it on the IHS because it would be much cooler than a pentium

You could do with a newer pinless pentium 4 that was on lga 775. Like this.

Point a heat gun at the pins for a few seconds then knock an edge of the pcb against a table. The pins should fall off. If not, repeat.
