That poor Pentium made it all these years and you go ahead and do something like that. You should be ashamed of yourself. Are you gonna kill Grandma the next time you get bored?

kzzrn: err...it broke and i took a hammer and tried to fix it. hey...tom's logo is a hammer so i figured it would fix it...i guess i hit it a bit too hard.
chuck: no, its the same intel chip thats on the picutre

Right right... sorry about that. But then again, IIRC the older Intel chips didn't have the thermal protection, so it wouldn't be all that hard to fry...

No d00d, LMAO, that's a Pentium 1 like in the first pic. I've taken a couple caps off these myself for educational demonstration (IE, look how big the circuits were back then).

crashman's description is the closest...thats why i put a picture of the front that says "Intel Pentium" to make u guys realize that its a Pentium chip. i never said it was a p4 chip, HELL i would never break a p4 chip (maybe 5 years later i will). and yes, i smashed it with a hammer (which i clearly described in my third post) i thought a hammer might do the job, but i guess i smashed it too hard LOL. i think its not a good idea for tom to have a hammer as a logo since hammers arent good computer fixers (as a matter of fact, i dont think u would ever need a hammer)

d00d, this was before the Flip Chip cores, the core was on the underside with the bottom mounted to the bottom of the package, and the top of the core covered by a plate that didn't even touch it. Originally the plate was Copper, those were easier to remove. Later covers were made from some kind of plastic-ceramic material.

I just remembered ive got my tbird 1200C still lying aorund somewhere... it still works, except for the cache. a bit damamged methinks.
i should play around with it

Do you have diarhea of the mouth? I'm talking about the core cover, not the pin grid. And the processor in the pic was not a Pentium MMX. So as a wise man once said "What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?".

Do you need your eyes checked? I never said it was a Pentium MMX.
Hah......i dunno why but u made me think about the lady who runs a local coffee shop.....she said she smokes Capuchinno through a bong.........heh....mmm...marshmellows and Capachinno.. =)
yeah... i think its a bit sad people missread the post and got into a flaming war... when it was obvious to begin with that the destroyed cpu in question was an old penitum classic. end of story.
besides, what moron would destroy a modern (and expensive cpu)

Hey..........obviously u didnt read <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=faq¬found=1&code=1" target="_new"> THIS </A> thread...LoL
Poor people..
as for a flame war.......hah.....this is nothing compared to a lot of other threads....but indeed this was not supposed to turn into one.....anyone with some recolection of Socket 7 CPUS would know thats an Intel Pentium Classic processor......
