What can I do with my old CPU.

[vascobrissos14]

Hello, I have a dell optiplex 745 and I created a thread about upgrading it to a decent gaming pc and I bought a Intel Q6600 to replace my E6300.
What I'm here to ask is, what can I do with this CPU? It's in fully working condition and has no problems with it, it's just old af.

Thank you in advance to everyone who replies

1. Sell it
2. Use it for the genesis of a whole house firewall box
3. Cut it in half, and use it for earrings.

1. Sell it.

I think that's the best option, do you have any other? Thank you!

What do you mean with deliding? I don't know what that means, what how can I "mess" it? Thank you!

Yea, I alredy made a thread to see if I could pull out some juice of it but it's impossible, thats why I bought the Q6600
