Re: SUCCESSFUL K6-2+ to K6-3+ Full Cache Enable Mod

I see, agree and understand that the HQ paste is more conducive. But this is a k6 3+ cpu. It doesn’t make much heat. I could probably use some banana pudding on the die and still do 600mhz. I wish we had a temp sensor in the die. You know, it was mentioned earlier, adding a temp sensor next to the …

I’ll pull this cpu back apart once it cures. So we can see what to expect. I expect full destruction 🤣

8329TCM-6ML This stuff seems to be 1.4W/(m·K) 5200 Epoxy 2.5 W/mK but it’s electrically conductive so that’s a consern. 5336 Epoxy — 1.48 W/mK Says it’s electrically isolating. (Can’t find it) Seems like this stuff may be the next stuff to try (the first one) https://www.digikey.com/en/products/ …

Added :-) thanks! Good job! I mounted the IHS with what I found here at home. Noctua paste on the core and some loctite quick gasket at the corners. Yeah, it doesn’t take much to get it back on. We’re being perfectionist. Don’t mind us lol :p Yes you are right, I forgot it was a thermal epoxy :D Can …

I’m trying to put together a catalog of the different configurations found under k6 cpus in the hopes that another mod may have gone unnoticed. First I need to figure out how many different configurations there were, and once we have images of them we may be able to learn something more. - - - K6-2 …

I don't see any good reason for using glue on the die. If the thermal paste get dry (it will), the same does the glue, with the con that probably won't trasnfer heat as fine as thermal paste, even if it's not a hot cpu lower temperatures on the core are always better even for longevity. It would be …

Does anyone feel like discovering what the options on the k6-III do? I’m suspecting they do the same thing, 0kb, 128kb, 256kb.

I have to say, @Sphere478 , when you first mentioned the possibility of modding a K6-2+ to a K6-3+, I kinda laughed it off, thinking that something like this would've been discovered a long time ago. Of course, in hindsight, it does make sense that such an option was never explored in the past. All …

Regarding the chances of cracking the die of a sA CPU. I heard many people actually having this happen to them but I never had this happen while mounting or unmounting a HS, not even once. At some point I managed to get so handy with how to distribute my weight and how to move the flatbed …

Here goes another, I’m getting pretty good at this. I can confirm that the epoxy can be considered quite permanent. Inspection of extra mixed material from previous cpu reveals a material with properties similar to something between glass and plastic. This time around I used a iron and hot air for …

Socket 5/7 underclock! Aiming for the abyss!

Spawned from a fun discussion on discord the thought experiment was put forth how slow can you go? I think 7mhz is possible, but I don’t have the hardware to do it. I can pull off 50mhz though. Let’s see those underclocks! The theorized secret sauce: Mobo: Lucky Star 5V-1A https://www.vogons.org/ …

Now, the plethora of sockets and cooler mountings are a crime against human intelligence, but I think certain AM3 ones could still fit 462 - not sure, ok. No, unfortunately they don't fit socket 462. Cooler compatibility on AMD's side goes back to Athlon 64 platforms, the very next generation after …

I'm in the mist of a Pentium Pro build. I plan to run a 512K or 1M chip at 233 MHz. The board is PCI/ISA only, no AGP. I'm fresh out of working Voodoo cards and was hoping to use some unused 3D card from my drawer. Here is a list of what I have. Emphasis is pre-millennium 3D games, Could you let me …
