I Had 3 of these, 2 were 66mhz powermac, 1 was 60mhz performa,( with out cpu cache stick )
anyways, i was messing around with the Heatsink on one of the PM, 6100's
i wasent being too rough or anything like that, and i herd a loud * SNAP *
The dam CPU busted in half, like its basically like a square piece of glass.
The the IBM PPC 601 is soldered in, raised above the PCB, no support under the cpu, just an air gap…
So all the pressure from the heatsink is being fully support by the strength of the thin ceramic cpu.
anyways so i ended up throwing the cache stick, harddrive, ram in the performa,
so, when you attach a fan to the heatsink on these 6100's
make sure to be careful.
