The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
Another retro unboxing. I cant believe I was able to find this relic! So cool. I cant imagine too many of these were sold over the short lifecycle of this product. It really wasnt long after the release of the FX-51 that S939 came out and made it irrelevant.

@dslrocks10 7 years old !LOL its TO MUCH for Science
how is this retro? its 7 years old..
I’m going to shoot the monitor on the first ad that google is stucking on my throat.
i dont know why but everytime he does a retro unboxing i get nostalgic all of a sudden.. probably remembering about my old pc i used to have untill i got my new beast :p
i remember when i had my old pc with processors like that i had one of the best pc’s… lol nice unboxing anyway
That FX-51 was a beast before multi-core procs hit.
this is nice, i have a am2 motherboard here, but i cant test ist, i dont like to buy a cpu because i dont know if the motherboard work
tell me if you make a unboxing of a sealed amd k5, k6 or k6-2
Retro … this in younger than my actual PC. Good old P4 2.8 ghz with an AGP ATI X800XT 256meg and 2 gb of DDR1 Dual Channel. I still run thru almost all the game that are 1 years old now … but seriously, even if it’s well built and overclocked to the limit possible, this is getting too old now.
Thinking about that … linus, don’t you have some giveaway for people like me that use their stuff all the way up to the grave ? lolll
He shouldn’t have unboxed this. It would be so cool in the future to sell something like that, still in the box.
I’lll laugh if you can use this heatsink can over clock a proccesor to 4ghz
if you want to find a rare chip these days
is the winchip
lol Proooocessor
@nelizmastr Neither does my Athlon II X4 635.
I found one of these with a bunch of old electronics. I did research and found out it is a Socket 940. I was excited because my PC is from 2006 but my PC has a AM2 slot (which is 940 pins but not the same as the 940 socket. I was so ANNOYED!!!
lol the heatsing loooks like it do a better job then the stock amd heatsinks lol..if the base was smoother
