Hello,

I have this CPU that seems defective, so far it cant run Small FFT Prime95 for more than 2-3 hours.

Some capacitor/resistor soldering seems broken/melted/burnt:

Hi Theelguy,

I am sorry to hear you are having problems but let me help you.

I recommend you running the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool. This software diagnoses every internal component inside the processor. If the capacitors seem broken/melted/burnt there may be problem with the processor and in fact can damage your board.

You can get the IPDT at the following link:

In case you are in doubt I recommend you contacting your local support for diagnose of the processor or a replacement if necessary.
