I'm specifically talking about CPUs like LGA771/775 and LGA1366.
I need to know everything about the "caps" that are on the bottom of the CPUs.
I've found that when missing some, about 80% of them still POST just fine (I don't test further). I get a lot of CPUs that are missing the "caps" on the bottom, and I don't get the original missing parts, so I need to figure out exactly what they are.
I'm told the larger ones are gap resistors that connect each layer of the core together... While the smaller ones really are capacitors. But there's many different sized ones and different looking ones on CPUs now. I need to know what they are so I can buy the right ones to put back on them, and get the CPU to work fine.
Another thing, is I need to know how to test each component on the bottom of a CPU. They are not all caps, and if some of the bottom chips were to stop working, it would render the entire CPU useless. I get some dead CPUs that are still $500-1000/each server chips that just don't work for some reason, despite no damage... and it would be wonderful if I could test the bottom components and maybe realize a resistor was no longer working, or whatever the case.
Not many of u will probably know much about this, but I'm just starting out learning about it and anything u can contribute would be great. Thanks!
