Cool, TX are quite nice to work with. Your bottom ISA slot has a pin that needs fluffing up in case you didn't notice.

Oh, thanks for the hint. I didn't notice at all 😀

Now I have to go through my motherboard collection and see if I have a board good enough to use this to it's fullest potential. Not even sure what SS7 boards I have 😀

That CPU is silky-smooth like it's never been used. Beautiful.

oh that K6-3+ is so lovely! Nice find debs3759 😀

Where there any more where that came from ?
(and cheap or expensive?)

I have that motherboard in my Ultimate DOS/Win-3.11 build but it’s probably better suited for Win-95.

It came from an NOS lot that were bought as a group buy on CPU-World. The original seller had listed a tray of them first that someone paid too much for in order to resell at silly high prices. We got what he had left much cheaper. Mine cost me €55 shipped, a very low price for the fastest K6-3 chip 😀 Sadly they were all sold in the group buy.

I have my AMD K6-3+ 450 over clocked to 500mhz and 550mhz running stable.
You can probably get 600mhz out of yours.

Yeah, we got lucky one CPU-World. Group buy handled by a gifted negotiator. The original seller knew that he could have got a lot more from speculators.

I might source a waterblock and hook it up to my chiller. See if I can get even higher (guessing 660 is possible with the right cooling)

Water cooling a k6 3+ is absolutely ridiculous. I love it please post results. 😁

Gonna need a block for the chipset and mosfets too to wind it all the way out to 140x6 🤣

You're going to have issues with condensation with a chiller. Might even get condensation under the heat spreader.

The smd capacitors under the heat spreader can and will get corrosion on and in-between the solder mounts if the condensation stays there.

I did experimenting with K6-2 CPUs and water-cooling and peltier cooling when they were current.

Even tried injecting coolant under the heat spreader and sealing it back up. That didn't end well.

With the peltier under a waterblock, it iced the CPU and surrounding area really quickly.

overkill, a socket A cooler is more than enough, even at 600Mhz

Just use a BIG copper heatsink and fan like this guy used.

Copper is great at soaking up heat... Releasing that heat, not so much.

If you are using a copper heatsink, you want one with as thin of fins as you can find. A big hunk of metal with thick fins is trash.
