Hello,
wondering if anyone has good tip where to get these. I tried to look on ebay but didnt find anything usable. Mostly I found trays for socket 775 and newer 115x which are 37.5x37.5mm but need also some for old Pentiums and Athlons which are all 50x50.

Only ones that would take these CPUs are trays for LGA2011 but the large hi-end ones 52x51.5mm which are quite expensive for my taste.

There is another possibility - design your own custom trays and print in on a 3D printer. 😀 This is what I'm thinking about, although I haven't done much research about it so far.... like the total cost of material needed for such tray. So in the end this solution might prove too expensive to be actually viable.

Printing them actually crossed my mind, but I didnt find any model and have no experience in 3d design (yet). PET fillament price is around 15-20EUR per kg.

Thanks for that ebay link, shipping is quite expensive tho, he wants 20EUR for first and 2 for each additional (which is 50% from the price)

I also thought about getting some bubbled plastic plate in which the CPUs would be simply sticked.
