Hi there,

I have come across 2 different motherboards with unknown CPU sockets. I went thru the sales menu and compared every picture, and none resemble what I have.

These have metal sockets and the fishhook is straight (like an umbrella). However, the inside is not a perfectly square like the ones listed on the sales menu (under Metal Socket MB). Instead, the inside of the metal socket has a long rectangle.

I really don't want to put them with the I-series AMD MBs as I know for sure I pulled a Core 2 duo pinless CPU from these boards.

Can you please help me?

I am attaching pictures of the 2 motherboards for your review.


Thanks!
Natalia

no problem, also the smaller one, does it have no I/O like I don/t see any video, USB or anything on it.

Yeah that top one looks more like a cpu/ram riser. Likely detached from the other board. I see sockets that appear to match up at least.If that's correct, secure the two boards together, flat, and it'll be multi metal socket server board.
