 |
|
Don't know if anyone's interested, seen it before, or whatever else..
I saw pics of an Athlon 64 with the heatspreader removed, and it looked a hell of a lot like an Athlon XP but with a bigger core. Then I wondered what the K6-2 looked like, so I decided to remove the heatspreader on my old K6-2 400.
And this is what I got...
Was held down by 4 blobs of glue on each corner, and one on top of the core..
No thermal compound at all, probly explains the 50*c idle temps...
Looks very similar to the Socket A Athlons... |

hummm.very interesting indeed 
Now I wonder...what would happen if a person would unlock the bridge(like an Athlon)...would it become overclockable?....

Nice work. I did same to have a look what is under. My friend who do profesional OC he remove caps from : PIII Tualatin, PIV socket 423 & 478. He cool them with liquid nitrogen to temp from -50 to -30 Celsius degrees

Yeah, I've seen a few pics of un-capped P4's, but the only ones I have around here are a 3ghz 478 and a 3.4ghz LGA775...don't want to break them 
What I might do is see if removing the cap will cause any temperature drop...this used to idle at about 45-50*c... |

| I have a dead uncappaed K6-III+. Broke it by doing that. The core is so small that I couldn't keep the heatsink from chipping the corners. |

When I first saw an uncapped K6 - I thought I stumbled across some sort of Athlon ES... oop.
