Please help indentify this AMD CPU

[Wannial]

My opterons arrived to, I'm just not realy satisfied with the state they arrived in.

Covered in cooling paste, and the other cpu doesn't seem to be in a 100% good condition either. (right cpu, left lower corner of the center chips)

Let it know asap if I had a closer look.

Hope to test it soon, and I hope it wasn't a waste of money to buy a dual G34 socket mother board...

Before you pull them into sockets clean by alcohol or "extracted benzine". Thermal paste cann't damage CPU in this case only you can only stain sticks in socket and then will be much harder to clean.

[Wannial]

I already got the paste of, but the connectors don't look great.

Will post pic asap (this weekend)


p.s. excuses my grammar, i'm Dutch

[Marcin]

If you used good chemical then there is now worry about.

[Guest]

and about the other prblem
On the right cpu on the picture it seems the chip most left down in the core is broken.

I don't have them in reech, i'll check it out and take some high res pics so I can check exactly.

It looks that one of the capacitors is mis-aligned.

This may be no problem if it is only slightly mis-aligned, and not damaged. A higher resolution picture would help to determine if there is any damage.

Seems I wasn't logged in on my last responce.
I've got this picture

[Wannial]

Anyone?

[CPUShack]

Those are decoupling caps, run it, its likely it will still work fine.

[Wannial]

I just checked it out, it's realy broken, clean of.
Litle hasitating of using the cpu just like that.

Might solder it back with some realy fine tools

[CPUShack]

Using the CPU without it will not hurt it, it will either run fine, be unstable under high load, or not run.

[Wannial]

Oke, that gives me a lil bit more confidence on placing it on my brand spanking new asus kgpe-d16

let you know when it arrives and when i've tested it

[Wannial]

Oke this is kinda awkward, both of the cpu's work, but not together, if I place both of them on my asus kgpe-d16 i won't get a post or anything, but if I just place one of them it works..

[Wannial]

is it posible that the broken part on the cpu is involved in this?
I don't realy know what those things do..

[CPUShack]

Try one at a time, and then use something to stress test them (run under full load)

See if one crashes.

What those do (decoupling capacitors) is decouple any power to ground noise/ripple.
