Two rare AMD K6-III+ 400 CPUs from a scrapyard - sadly, they both have cracked ceramic bodies and are officially dead. Since they can't be saved, I decided to delid them to see what the 'Sharptooth' looks like under the heat spreader. Join me for a quick look at some legendary retro hardware from the inside out!
