I'm looking for a Super Socket 7 AMD K6-III+ 1.6 or 1.8v CPU, trying to build my dream K6 system. Does anyone know where I might find one? I've been scouring eBay for quite a while now without luck.

Hope this is appropriate for the forum?

lots of nos k6-2+ on ebay. only difference is some cache size, and that doesnt change speed by any margin at all, so no real loss. my 450 runs at 500mhz perfectly fine at bus speed of 100mhz.

i have not seen any real k6-iii+ for sale on ebay for a long time (I could never find one when I was looking a few years ago)

I bought one on ebay probably 1 1/2 years ago. I'm not sure of the precise date.
I think i gave about $20 shipped. Its a 450MHZ, but overclocked stable to 550.
Still running in my old Compaq Presario with my VooDoo 3 PCI.

I remember them being readily available at the time, with plenty of sellers to choose from.

Bought a NOS (but tray) K6-3+ ATZ from a German eBay seller back in January for a nice low price (EUR 15 iirc). Not needed to look for another since, but they are definitely still out there, if not now probably soon enough with some patience.

Going to use them in my Super Socket Seven motherboard builds.

I just had a look, and I couldn't find a listing for any K6-3+ CPUs on Ebay. There were a few listings of K6-3 CPUs, and a fair number of K6-2+ ones, but I didn't see even one K6-3+.

I was wrong, but this guy isn't listing them as +. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-AMD-K6-III-400AC … vwAAOSwBNtbFvwz
That would make me feel uncomfortable as a buyer since he lists neither the core voltage nor advertises it as a K6-3+, but instead shows a photo of one.

Here is the listing for K6-III+ 450 2.0v CPUs at $19.99 each. Looks like there are still 8 available.

Edit: same listing as the link JidaiGeki gave.

Strange - if you choose AMD CPUs and Socket 7, that listing doesn't show up. Considering how rare those are these days, that's a decent deal.

i have not seen any real k6-iii+ for sale on ebay

Bought two K6-III+ on ebay just few months ago (USA seller).

Yep, I bought them from this seller and looks like I was the only one 🤣

He lists them in batches it seems, I bought one from him earlier this year after missing out on a previous lot. Pretty good price... think I'll grab another 😀

There are some K6-III+/400ATZ (1.5V, should be OK at 1.6V) on the CPU-World forums for $7 each. If you are not already a member you will need to register to see the For Sale section of the forums. Direct link http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30650

I bought one of these on Ebay years ago, and it's been fine at 500 MHz @ 2.0 volts for years now.

There's no real difference between 1.6v and 2.0v versions, former is just confirmed to work with lowered voltage and latter might not.
