PC CPU resistance.
(1/1)
ktulu:
I have a Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D3V rev2.0 motherboard and an i5-3470 CPU. The board keeps restarting every few seconds. The CPU barely gets warm for that short period of time. (pulsating)
However the board work fine with a G530 CPU. It has the latest BIOS flashed. F7c
I've measured the tiny caps on the underside of both CPU's.
The i5 measures very low, 0.8-1 Ohms while the other I get around 30 Ohms.
I need some help if somebody still has this CPU (i5-3470) and could take some resistance measurements.
I am very curious if these very low readings are normal or the CPU is demaged.
Thank you.

There is small chance resistance might be normal, although I'd expect resistance this low from something more modern. You really need a measurement of CPU based on the same die to be sure.

BTW does this measurement include multimeter lead resistance or not? If it includes something like 0.4 ohm with leads shorted without measurement nulling/subtraction, then it's nearly certainly fried.
ktulu:
Without leads resistance. Btw this is measured on VCC, but VCCAXG is also a few Ohms.
According to this: https://www.gadget-manual.com/pinout-cpu/

What voltage is on VCC?
I tried with 1V, but at 1A no capacitor gets hot. Without a thermal camera it is hopless. I thought maybe I get lucky and only a cap is partially shorted.
