Thanks, and how overclock the Cx 5x86

I wouldn't overclock that chip just yet until you talk to feipoa. I don't think you get much wiggle room with the clocks on the Cyrix chips and you don't want to burn it up. Cyrix 5x86 chips are pretty hard to come by so you don't want to have to replace one because you overclocked it too much.

Yup 😁

Better practice with the AMD 5x86 first 😁

i do not have AMD 5x86 😒

I've bought a couple at www.cpu-world.com, they are quite cheap there and pop up very regularly for like €5 😉

@tetrium
they make deliveries to Argentina?

They ship worldwide I think. Never had it happening that shipping to Europe (where I live) was a problem.
Only thing that comes to mind is volcanic ash or something 😜

I even once had a couple CPU's and a motherboard (untested) shipped to me from Australia...by ship!
Seller mentioned it could take up to 3 months...but it took even longer 🤣

Edit:Only drawback is you don't have any guarantees that you'll receive a working chip, but that's inherent to retro hardware I think

When you ship by surface mail, there isn't even any guarantee that the package will arrive at all. That's why the US post office doesn't do it anymore. It takes too long, the risk of theft and damage is too high, and they were paying out too many insurance claims which was causing them to lose money. Always have things sent by air. It's safer that way even if it costs more. I've always had good luck with EMS shipping when buying from other countries.

I make my post here
http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=128030#128030

That would depend on where the seller is located.
My best advice is to keep a close eye on this subforum: http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

Second tip: refresh often!!! 😁

Edit:Right now someone's selling heaps of s370 chips for cheap. If you need any, take a look 😉
