Hey guys.

I recently fried my motherboard, and im not sure whether my cpu or ram still works. I know some people who can test my ram, but no one who has a spare mobo around that fits my cpu, and I was wondering whether it would be safe to buy a new motherboard and test the components in there, or if it would break the new motherboard.

Thanks

The problem you have is that if the CPU is damaged, you;ve then just brought a new mobo, and are still on that old socket. Specifically Sandy/Ivy, core2, AM3/AM3+, buying a new CPU for any of those would be a waste if the CPU is dead.

What CPU are we talking about, you may need to consider calling it a loss, and stepping up.
