opening the
Die Core:
One of the emotional moments is to see for the first time the heart of a
cpu. It's very simple if you have the correct instruments and tools! You only
need a small gas torch ,a very small screw driver and a heat-proof
underground
( I always take a big heat sink)
For my experiment here I decided to take a AMD X5-133 ADW.
Let's start:
Open
Die Core AMD X5-133 ADW |

burn carefully,3-4
minutes.
Be careful around the pins.
They will glow instantly!

Lift up the gold
lid
with
the screwdriver. Be careful about the small
wires under it!

Wow, here is the
brain of your PC
;-)

It's always like a surprise opening a chip I have never seen at
the inside. You can open
all kinds of
chips and cpus which have a gold or a ceramic lid
on the bottom.
To open a cpu with ceramic lid you should burn 3 minutes longer,
because it's thicker than
a
gold lid.
But be careful: Ceramic lids are always breaking because the
heat stresses the material!
Here some pictures
