Some nice zoomed cpu pics

[Nyge]

Promised in another thread to take more of these. So here you have. :D
Most pics are from my Tbred 1800+, but there are some from a palomino too.
The place where I put the images doesn't support directory browsing so I had to link them here.

Nice, i see someone got bored :D

[CCW]

They are pretty cool! :D

[BrainStorm]

Man, those are just fricking cool :cool:

Do you have some sort of special camera attachment to do this, or do you just put the lens of the camera up to the lens of the microscope?

[felix88]

those are pretty cool.

nice camera/microscope. ;)

[beatnic]

oooofff... great pics!

[XtremepH]

what kind of camera or microscope is that?

[shray]

electron microscope lol

Exactly. Camera lens to the microscope lens. So the camera
capture same view as can be seen by eye. And my camera is a
Canon Digital Ixus V.

hehe, not quite an electron microscope but this:

A Russian made microscope from 1970-80, don't know exactly.
But it's from those times Russians did quality goods. A real nice one,
intended for geological examines or something like that.
It has changeable lenses. Usually I use 14x to take pictures,
because it give a sort of wide-angle view, so I can take pictures in
1600x1200 resolution with only small black areas in the corners.
Afterwards those corners need to be cut out,
therefore the pictures are not in any standard resolution.

[PimpJack]

we have to start lapping AMD cores LOL

I keep putting off building a camera adapter, but I have a Bausch & Lombe stereo microscope I picked up at a doctor's estate sale for USD 20. Great when painting bridges to check the work.

Simply fantastic pix!

[theonetheycall]

that's freaking crazy, amazing quality :)

[Evil_Spork]

o...m...f...g... amazing man... really amazing....

[Ragnarok]

that's §§§§ing awesome man... !

[Susquehannock]

Nice job!:thumbsup:

This one is interesting:
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/hnygard/tbred/Core7x.jpg
Look at the edge ... is that a chip from the top layer?



You are right about he Russian optics too Nyge.
Some of the surplus telescopes I've seen are
of very high quality. We get a lot of junk over here
in the US too though.:rolleyes:

[Susquehannock]

Oh ... wanted ask you something Nyge.
Here is an idea of mine. Would it be possible for you to catch
similar images of the heatsink surface?
It would be really great if you could catch some images of different
types of surfaces too. (new & unfinished vs. lapped and polished)
If you could do that it would be awsome!:cool:

They might help us to see the interaction between the two
mating surfaces. And where the TIM goes when they are joined.

[saaya]

wow those pics are beautifull! 0.0

[FragBuckler]

wow, those are really nice :toast: thanks for showing them,
that core looks like sandpaper, haha

[gobbo]

Some very detailed pics there!

What sort of zoom u using, and i presume it's not one of your off the shelf cameras?

[Sndk]

hahaaha ..
i can call that 'Art of shooting' ...
thoses pics r beautiful dude , i luv them!

contact http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bubo/index.html
and find why i can OC my 2000+ to 4000. :)

IR Cam + scope = woa ! (=$40000 too)

Read above. There I explained about the microscope.

Hmm, I don't really use heatsinks, just waterblocks (http://personal.inet.fi/koti/hnygard/kuvia/Systeemi.jpg). :)
But maybe I could sometime in the future do some sort of compare, if I got an opportunity to.
(Did not see your question earlier. Thats why it's about a month late. :D)

[CrimInalA]

Is that a microscope you have there ?? ;)

nice pics dude , i saved some ..

[Mr. Thompson]

Great Photos! :D

[Lunatic]

damn, that is some cool pics :cool:

[psychofunk]

So simple it's genious!

[Bart_Banaan]

I use a IntelPlay (kids) microscope, it is USB connected, and only costs around $ 70.- It has magnification of 10x, 60x and 200x.

This is a pic made with that IntelPlay Microscope at 10X:

It is from this item 'how to solder a SMD IC'
http://www.casejunkies.com/index.php?upn=030001&hl_id=217&page=291

Soon I'll make also some pics from my AMD 1700+ with this microscope

[CCW]

Bart_Banaan, Welcome to the Xtreme!

Ive tried that microscope and they arent too bad, produce some ncie pcis! :toast:

[NoFuture]

Good Work! That was very interesting...

[Susquehannock]

Those images always were cool. :cool:

Anyone have Xtreme close-ups of the A64 heatspreader?

[J-Pak]

Nice shots, used one with the large AMD writing as a wallpaper.

[boshi]

thats awesome, I need to go get one of these now. Lets see some pics of a non-flip chip core.

[craig588]

Kinda old, but keep it open, I'm sure there are lots of people that havn't seen pics like this before.
