Cleaning an older AMD Chip?

Archean_0 · Jun 25, 2014

I have an old AMD chip (Athlon) that I need (want?) to clean and I'm not sure if I can clean it like a newer chip (FX series) or if I have to take any precautions with it.

Here is a picture of the chip

Use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean it. Looks like you've pulled the case off it though.

here is the heat sink that was immediately on top of it

it looks like the "bare" chips were pretty standard back in the day http://tinyurl.com/AMD1990s

I assume that as long as the alcohol dries, the pcb will not be damaged?

That copper bit 100% joined to the cooler?

Yes... The PCB is pretty hard to damage.

looks like it--i could probably pry it of, but I think its part of the cooler--anybody have the name of the product?

What product?

my memory isn't the greatest--i was probably talking about the heatsink that was on top of the CPU
