    CPU heater

    Got a bunch of ancient CPU so I decided to make a hotplate out of them.

    AMD vs. Intel



    Finding the ground and Vcore



    4 CPUs ready, after 40min of soldering



    Test drive



    AS Ceramique



    Steam



    The water is pretty warm but it just won't boil lol, more work tomorrow, stay tuned.

    Maybe it is just idling when you hook only vcore to it? so you get about 30 watts from it?

    interesting answer to the problem but wouldn't crunching be more effective use of those chips?

    I was wandering when someone might find a way to make a perfect die heater for tuning evaps on SS, cascaded and auto cascade. Even water block testing. I may have a P4 478 prescot about thats IH less if i do i'll donate. How many v's you pumping and how you find the ground and vcore?

    I'm pumping 5v to 3v CPUs (K6, not sure about stock voltage), even though it has no load, the voltage should bump up the heat =P if I have an amp meter then I'll be able to tell how much watt is there.

    Hot glue to keep the wires in place and insulate them



    Packed together



    Messy wire job lol



    K6 sandwich, anyone?





    Man, gotta admit that cardboard + soldering iron + glue gun are the 3 most essential tools
    Now I need to find out how to spread the heat evenly, but a frying pan should do the trick.

    At this point in their lifetime, they are better off as ornaments or water heaters, the operating cost for performance would be terrible compared to even a A64. Should frame them and sell em for $50 as art.

    Just to make sure before I fire it up, what will happen (or what might happen) if the core doesn't get enough cooling and just overheats and cant shut itself down? Will it be like one of those overclock video where the core blew a hole?

    Interesting idea on the load tester, I will work with a socket A proc to see if it'll work (5v on 1.6v muhahahahahaha)

    I have a stupid suggestion but couldn't you test them and then sell them on Ebay or something?

    I would try to get a fuse for them, if they burn themselves, i dont know what would happen,well the worst thing is a short circuit, your house will shutdown the electricity and that's all i guess. Disconnect the heaters and switch on again the house's light panel ( i dont know how to say that )

    If you used a motherboard you could connect to the output side of the mosfets and get all of the power and ground pins that way rather than only a limited amount of them.
