I have this old Biostar motherboard, and I noticed just now that there is a wire soldered on the back of the CPU socket for some reason (picture). Does anyone know the purpose of this wire? The motherboard is a Biostar P4TSP-D2

If it was an LGA 775 socket, it might may have been that someone in the past soldered some wires on to make it support LGA771 CPUs and Xeons. It's probably that they've grounded the pin with a wire so that it does the same as when you put the cover over the CPU contact point.

 

Maybe it's something similar
