Test CPU w/o mobo

[EmpiracyRyNiX]

I have an i7-920 from my very old pc where the mobo died. I don't know if the cpu still works and i want to test it without buying an old (and expensive ) mobo online that might not even work. Is there anyway i can feed it a current through certain contact points to see if it gets warm so i know it works?

Thanks

No.

Well sure, you just hook up some power to a couple pins. Just don't expect that CPU to ever work again....

There is no solution for you to test it your self, but what i would do is go to a local small sized computer store and ask if they have a mobo for your i7 920 were you can test it in.

Nope, and a i7 920 isnt worth much anymore (the mobos are still pricey though, thats why the cpus are cheap).

You can sell it as maybe not working for 15-20$ or so maybe.
