Wanted: Dead/Old/Unused/Unwanted CPU for an experiment

[linkin]

I'm looking a free dead, unwanted or unneeded CPU of any kind (needs to have pins, so AMD or Pre-775 intel) for an experiment.

I plan to make one of these, and i have no dead or spare CPU's:

Preferably something that runs hot, so it keeps my coffee warm

thanks guys.

How about something like that?

Yeah that looks good,Idealy you want a Prescott,They ran very hot. and should keep that drink warm lol....or start a fire.

I've got a P4 3ghz you can have, pm me if you want it

I also have a Pent 4 1.6ghz too if you want.

I have an AMD Athlon™ X2 6000+, not sure if its either the 125 or 95 version, I'd have to take the heatsink off to check, not sure if its dead though

A 6000+

Decisions, decisions!

i have an old pentium 3 700mhz, but im guessing shippiing would be a killer. it does work, looks like this

EDIT:its a celeron 700mhz, not a pentium 3

okay guys, probably gunna take the pentium 4 3ghz off of buzz, seeing as he's local. i suggest you guys go and make your own coffee warmers

 

[ganzey]

then i guess im gonna do this with my celeron

I have a socket 370 P3 cpu that would be perfect for that lol :good:

You could do like 3-4 processors and put some sort of ball/bearing on the back so they contour to your body

 

[just a noob]

you should be able to do this with lga 775 processors as well, you just wouldn't solder to the pins

If its USB powered dont expect much heat at all....

Also, the chips dont run very hot if all you do is solder to the power pins, as the chip is going to be idling and not running at full speed, nor will it create as much heat,

 

[ganzey]

but even without load, wont a processor get up to like 300f without a heatsink? (if there was en external power supply)

No, because the processor wont draw much power at all. They arent meant to be heaters and wont act like one when not under load.

I have two or three old processors at home if you want them.

I can ship them in two weeks when I go home.

I've already got one on the way guys, courtesy of buzz1927

Let's discuss whether a USB port can power it or not.

If i cant get it to work i suppose i'll find another use for it.
