I have been a PC Enthusiast for a very long time. (30 years)
But one thing has always eluded me on getting a straight answer.
Is there a way to test a motherboard WITHOUT a CPU?
I have found many things such as this:

This manufacturer claims it will test every aspect of a motherboard and acts as a substitute CPU in the process.
Another thing I have found which sounds more positive in my search is this:

Yes I know these types of items are socket specific.
Are either of these viable solutions for testing to see if a motherboard is functional?
I know the standard tests without additional hardware or oscilloscopes so that is not an issue.
But I have over 200 boards accumulated over the last several months that may or may not be in working order and I need to test them.
Thank You
