Ey up lads and lasses
Was down at the tip and saw a lass about to throw a system in the skip. Well you know what its like when the urge comes over you so i had to stop her and take it. (We can't get it out the skips once its gone in round our end).
Took it home to investigate my catch and here's the spec's form what i can gather:
DVD burner
2TB HDD (working Win!)
8GB DDR2 (I think its DDR2 will confirm when i get home)
AMD Phenom II (I think its a x4? But never owned an AMD chip so have no idea. Annoyingly i applied new paste before thinking to write down any part numbers).
According to the sticker on the side its a Acer Aspire X3450.
Now the down side. It would appear a cat has used it as a toilet at one point hence throwing it away. The motherboard (now clean) Looks in great nick, no signs of burnt marks nor blown caps etc. The CPU looks good so does the ram. However all my systems are Intel so cant test the chip. I tried to power it up and the HDD span up, fans came on etc but no monitor output. Im going to put my GPU in and see how that works. The back plate for GPU is missing so it could have been set to external GPU in the bios hence no video output.
However my question what form factor is the MOBO? And what socket is the cpu? Ive seen references to AM2+, AM3, AM3b? Like i said i know nothing about AMD so if i do need to replace the mobo id like to know i purchasing the right thing
Thaks all
Case looks like this:
and mobo:
EDIT: damn and blast, i should have put this in the mobo section, sorry
