Hello,
I've knocked off a cap (I think it's a cap...) while mounting that mobo.
The mobo is kinda new, bought it like 2 weeks ago or so.
Problem is, I can't find it now so I can't really be sure whether it's a cap or a res...
Please check the picture below (red circle):
It's working all right, with light OC (i5 2500K @4200MHz). It's been running like that for 3 days now.
Checked voltages (BIOS), ran a bunch of stress tests (LinX, Prime), no issues, whats so ever.
The only thing I noticed is HWMonitor showing CPUTIN stuck at 124°C all the time. But after a bit of internetz digging I know I'm not the only one with false/stuck CPUTIN value.
I'm tempted leaving it as it is since I haven't experienced any problems with it since that happened.
However, I bet there are better oriented people out there, perhaps any of you knows the purpose of it?
What would you guys suggest? Should I be worried or just let it be?
Oh and BTW - everything is running stock clocks now, until I (somehow) confirm I'm not damaging any other components with this.
P.S. I posted on another forum with this but got no feedback so far. I'd really appreciate any opinion.
