AMD Key Chain

[Catalysator]

Hello!

This is a mini-log of how i made a keychain out of an broken AMD Phenom II x4.

The beginning was a little bit slow because of the way I removed the pins... so I just smacked it with a handfile! :D

Done!

Now, the hole!

Complete!

Thank you for checking out this little mod, I hope you enjoyed!

Did He Die ?

Yes.

That's pretty awesome. If I ever have some dead silicone, I might do that.

Nice I did the same with an old Pentium D I had lying about a few years ago. :)

[bullboy]

I'm going to do this with a Pentium II.

[Smite]

Holly crap I have like 8 CPU's I can do this with. Even an Intel Extreme dual core.

[ultravidrah!]

i have done the same thinng with my spare cpu and must say it is a cool mod, but a word of warning the pins in the cpu destroy the fabric in a pocket (especialy jeens) so i just let mine to get beet up and now it's preety good (also a good conversation starter :))

Did this many years ago... Athlon XP 2400+, shame that if you use one without the heat spreader, it kinda falls apart after 6ish months.

Wohoo, would like to see it done with a extreme CPU :)

Falls apart? How? Is it just bits getting ripped off or?

Sorry for late reply.

Awesome Idea. I have 2 Intel Pentium 4 CPUs lying around. might do this on one of em' :D

the actual cpu die is very fragile, the keys will chip away at it very quickly.

Mine's made out of my GTX280 that died. I wish I'd taken photos of the hacked up PCB, that was a fun exercise :p

[james3015]

When I get time I will make one out of an old Pentium MMX.

[Aredlac]

thats badass

im gonna do that with an old athlon cpu i have.. it has sentimental value so this is a perfect way to recycle it

[glutesontheloose]

Well.. here is mine. Did it a few days ago! :D

[Catalysator]

My Pentium 4 keychain

[D3MON]

will do this with an old athlon
i did think of this 2 days ago tbh, was going to get some leather and see if i can get a glue strong enough to make a ddr1 266mhz 128mb wristband, going to keep the good stuff for myself.
immediately made a SB700 southbridge locket for the missus (well, nearly done)
unfortunately theres not much jewelry for us guys to wear and theres not enough girls that will know what your girlfriends earrings are (ram probably).

i would say it should be done with all pentium d's-no pins, very thin, stops people thinking theyre awesome cus theyre a dual core!!!! (its a pentium 4.......from 10 years ago!)
also i think it'd be cool if these we're kinda laminated? makes it look more proffesional/lasts longer  :P

[JordanMac]

haha nice!
