    AMD Ceramic Pentium

    Looking at a buyers list AMD Ceramic without cap is going for 27 a pound. I also found an AMD with cap on it today what is that classified as? Green Fiber?

    Is it a ceramic cpu? If it is ceramic then remove the very thin aluminum cap off. Also the ceramic ones are brown. I use a heavy knife and strike the back of the knife with a hammer. If its a green cpu with a thick cap on top then its classified as "green fiber with heat sink-pins. Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    An AMD Ceramic without cap is going to look like this. Notice it's grey and rather thick.

    If it's brown or green with a cover(heat sink) it's a fiber.
    Not all fiber AMD chips have a heat sink. The ceramic chips have the AMD name in the ceramic like above. NOT a label.

    Its probably an amd k6 with an aluminum cap. You can pop the cap off and put it with the othe amd chip for $27

    I sent in an AMD ceramic with cap last week it seemed to go through okay at 27.00 $/lb.

    Was reading about removing the caps on the green fiber w/ pins to upgrade them in another thread. Thought i would give it a go just to see how it would work out and got mixed results. It was a little awkward but the Pentium p-4's seemed to separate okay. Ran into problems with the AMD equivalents. The caps seem to be soldered to the processor matrix so when i pulled the caps it damaged what was underneath. I'm not really sure how well that worked out. It might have devalued them.

    AMD Ceramic Pentium

    both amd and Intel started to solder on around the same time. I think 05. anything before should pop off pretty easily.
