Product Overview
AMD-K6-2 microprocessors delivered 32-bit x86 computing with 3DNow! multimedia instructions for Super Socket 7 and Socket 7 motherboards. Each processor is constructed with a 321-pin ceramic staggered pin grid array (CPGA-321), an integrated metal heat spreader lid, and an array of gold-plated pins. This four-piece assortment brings together four frequency and voltage variants from the K6-2 family, intended for precious metal refining, collector display, or hands-on pin straightening projects.
Key Features
- Four distinct AMD-K6-2 processor models: 400ACK, 450AFX, 450AHX, and 500AFX
- 321-pin Ceramic Staggered Pin Grid Array (CPGA-321) form factor
- Physical compatibility with Socket 7 and Super Socket 7 architectures
- Integrated metal heat spreader lids bonded to purple ceramic substrates
- Gold-plated pin arrays suitable for precious metal recovery
- Core voltage ratings ranging from 2.0V to 2.4V across variants
Applications
- Reclaiming gold and precious metals through chemical or metallurgical e-scrap refining
- Straightening bent pins for retro-computing test benches and legacy motherboard builds
- Preserving late-1990s microprocessor hardware in educational or collector displays
- Repurposing ceramic processor packages and lids into maker art and keychains
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these processors tested or guaranteed to be functional?
No. These units have not undergone functional testing. They are sold untested as e-scrap for gold recovery, repair, or display purposes.
Which specific AMD-K6-2 models are included in this lot?
The lot includes one AMD-K6-2/400ACK (2.0V core), one AMD-K6-2/450AFX (2.2V core), one AMD-K6-2/450AHX (2.4V core), and one AMD-K6-2/500AFX (2.2V core).
What should I expect regarding the physical condition of this lot?
All four processors are sold strictly as-is with bent pins on the outer rows of their pin grid arrays, light thermal residue on the heat spreaders, and paper labels on two undersides. The photos show the exact four units that ship.
Before multi-core silicon ruled the desktop, the K6-2 gave Socket 7 a fighting chance against the Pentium II. Whether these four end up refined for their gold or straightened pin-by-pin for a retro build, the next move is yours.
