#homelab #pcbuilder for the kids, I scrounged up an AM4 socket mainboard and a CPU. Without memory, or GPU, should I expect it to at least be able to start the fan in the power supply?
A lot of this is 2nd hand and I’m wondering if some of it is broken.
I do have a couple of graphics cards I can try, but no DDR4 memory until Austrian customs releases it, they received it 10 days ago.
#homelab #pcbuilder well bad news. The PSU is fine. But the cpu has bent pins and the mainboard has a damaged facade above the pins. I’m guessing the whole thing is now garbage. At least beyond my old eyesight to realign the pins, and definitely not possible to repair the cpu socket myself. Sucks.
