AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.1 GHz Socket AM2 desktop CPU ADV6000IAA5DO

Here is a 64-bit Socket AM2 dual-core CPU from AMD running at 3100 MHz. This one is known as an Athlon 64 X2 6000+. AMD's part number is ADV6000IAA5DO.

It uses the "Brisbane" core and 65 nanometer traces. It includes 1MB of L2 cache and its own memory controller for DDR2 SDRAM with a 1000 MHz Hyper Transport Link. It draws 89W of power.

AMD made 3 different processors all called "Athlon 64 X2 6000+" This One runs at 3.1 GHz with only 1MB of cache and is the most expensive. The other two each run at 3.0 GHz with 2MB cache. One draws 89W of power, and the cheapest draws 125W (which is more than some motherboards can handle).

This CPU is compatible with most AMD socket AM2 desktop systems, but the buyer should check their system documentation for compatibility. Some older systems may need a BIOS upgrade to recognize this CPU properly. If you are not sure, ask me. I would rather tell you "no" than waste our time for a return over compatibility.

You will receive only the CPU as pictured here (but not the exact one). A heatsink and a fan are required but not included in this auction.

Your CPU will arrive working and as pictured with all pins present and straight. The pins are now in a protective foam pad, enclosed in a plastic clamshell for safe shipping.

I welcome questions from interested bidders and offer a 30 day return privilege.

International bidders: please note that there may not be a complete tracking number or estimated delivery time for either shipping method listed here. Also, you are responsible for paying any additional customs duties or VAT your country may charge you.

The processor you are purchasing is a delicate part which two different people have inspected. Each of them was able to insert this CPU into an appropriate socket, but we probably have more experience than you. Please do not be offended if we include some installation instructions.

Here's the technique we use to straighten pins. It requires sunlight, a magnifier, a utility blade and perhaps a safety pin. First, hold the CPU at about a 10 degree angle to the socket and see if you can insert the outer row of pins for only one edge. If you feel any resistance, do not push down. The resistance point helps you locate the troublesome area. Use the utility blade along the sides of the pins to push up any pin that isn't upright. (If the pin is almost flattened you can raise up the end by inserting a safety pin underneath it and lifting the back of the safety pin). Then use the side of the utility blade to make the CPU pin stand up perpendicular to the base, in a line the other pins in that row. Try to avoid any pressure near the base of the pin (which is where they break off). Repeat this process for each of the 4 edges. Then decrease the angle so the inner rows of pins go in the holes and on all 4 sides. Again, try to locate any resistance points for each side and repeat as necessary. Eventually you should be able to use the CPU. Do not spend too much time on this.
