Well I think it will POST, those old birds are pretty tough.
I once forgot to plug in the fan for my heatsink after doing some work on it and came back an hour or so later and found the whole room smelled like someone left a hot iron on a motherboard, I was sure I fried it but it was still running so I plugged the fan in and watched the temps drop from 86c back to 38c. I removed the heatsink just to look at it and on the copper plug of my Arkua 7528 was an imprint of the die burned in it, you could even read that it was an Athlon 1000.

If it were not for the chip on the die, I would say it would post, but I dunno seeing that chipped off part of the die.

I'd like to see a picture of how close the transistors inside the die come to the edges of the die itself.
I've seen lots of pics of only very small chips taken off corners of the athlons rendering them useless.
The chip off the corner of this barton is much smaller than the thunderbird this thread is about, but it still fails to post.

I don't think it will POST. Thats a pretty large chunk missing. I wonder how many thousands of transistors it lost.

Yeah, I reviewed the pix again and that is a pretty big chunck gone but I had a Duron 850 that had a big chip in the Die (not as much as this one) and it ran perfectly.
I'm optimistic it will post, of course I could be wrong; it won't be the first time

Providing this image of an athlon T-Bird die hasn't been cropped down to only show the working area of the CPU, there doesn't appear to be much space between the edge of the die and the start of the area containing the transistors.
The chipped area may also have some very fine cracks radiating from it which could pass through some of the working parts of the CPU.
If the chip posts, then I promise to make jkozura eat his own feet!
