Absolutely. It's just ridiculous on both the consumer and companys'/repair shops' behalf to not have these. They can save many hours of troubleshooting after all, and i doubt the cost is prohibitive in the slightest.
@@tristan6509I'm the proud owner of several old (well, ancient nowadays) socketed CPU laptops. One of which I have pretty much fully upgraded. Core 2 quad q9100 and eight gigabytes of RAM. It's not the fastest around the block, but it definitely gets the job done. It would probably be way better if the cooling system was actually designed for such an intense processor (at the time).
A set of testers like these would also be useful for seeing what other components got taken out when my SSD went bang, because for now I consider everything connected to that system tainted and won't connect them to good components.
I am so glad that you're working on this, these types of tools are something that should have been introduced decades ago. They would have been bulky and expensive but we wouldn't have to start from scratch here and it would have saved a lot of money in the long run.
Automotive diagnostic tools pc edition. As a mechanic, and a computer technician that uses the pc trade equivalent for automotive, this is standard procedure. Love it, beautiful. Service, diagnostic, rebuild, repair, replace brings me joy. Well done this graced my eyes and I will look into this further, hopefully like cars I can buy a full kit to cover every socket, as my automotive tools cover every car.
These are invaluable for eliminating culprits of failures. I played with a PCI boot code generator way back in the day but to be able to plug into anything socketed would have saved me so much time over the years because I had limited access to "known good" components.
If ever there was a socket that needed a tester, it's AM4!! Especially with the b450 chipset. I've had several boards stop recognising the CPU for no reason at all and an RMA or replacement has been needed every time.
I like the path this is taking! It's very interesting a company hasn't thought of this already. Maybe they have on a much larger level, but simplicity is key! And this is simple, provided you have one for each socket? How much, and can you make an adapter for this so it can test multiple boards, aka just adapt to the one one you have currently if possible? This is some weird stuff I would buy! lol
I have built multiple PCs in my life and I've never felt the need to have to do preliminary testing on components before the initial install. This just seems like a completely wild purchase to make unless you are having an issue that would lead you wanting it.
I work as mb repair tech, and i used that from lga 775 up to the latest new lga. The purpose is for check either the lga is connected right, and avoid over voltage that will kill cpu.
In 27 years of IT, I've never once had an issue with a processor socket. Motherboards yes, but nothing having to do with the communication with the processor. I've also only ever seen MAYBE 1 bad processor. I've worked on tens of thousands of machines and I've only encountered 4 bad memory sticks. Hundreds of bad power supplies and motherboards though.

Honestly, this is way better on the nerves than saying "CPUs don't normally fail, this it's probably a bad motherboard". I was right, the CPU was fine and the new motherboard got everything working, but having a tester would help ease my nerves on making purchases.
Imagine doing all that testing just to put the cpu in and have the pins bend it’s almost like you could just put the cpu in anyway and either have that happen off the bat or have it work and see if everything is running while also having the cpu in saving time
Why? You'd rather have it trying to pull power from a CPU socket that won't "fully cooperate"? The battery runs the board and the cpu pins are just inputs to a bunch of voltage sensor circuits. You don't worry about there being a battery in a fluke, or an ammeter, do you?
I have this thing. It is used to check if socket has all connections to the chipset. Unfortunately it does not work with any cr2032 batteries, you have to apply power with external supply. Like variable psu, and also you have to accurately set it to the specific voltage so it will correctly show the connections that are present. This is some naughty thing and you wont be able to use it because it is way to tricky. For the price i can say it's useless
@@neiliewheeliebinyou dont need to connect psu to the motherboard, you need variable power supply to power this tester, it simply consumes too much power for any little cr2032. Also you need an exact voltage, like 2.65 to not let led's light up even if connections to pch are broken
Yeah that will never work properly. It doesn't have any way to generate the comms for the SVI2 or SVI3 bus. And I doubt it can even supply the basic PMBus because there is no micro.
I really like the idea of being able to test all your components yourself. I also really hate the idea of wasting all that time testing your brand new parts before even starting the build. I don't want my 45 minute build to take 2 hours.
At this point he's gonna make a motherboard tester 😭

You gotta get testers for your testers and testers for those testers…. and so on.
I like the idea of those component testers. They'd be perfect for repair shops, and the like.
NGL, you should make a product line all about testing pieces.
So u r the man who is going to show all the ridiculious pc accessories ❤❤

Totally needed this to diagnose a bad board.. ended up replacing it just to prove a theory.. glad it did need to be replaced in the end.

How the hell is this used practically?? The motherboard is the CPU tester 😂
😅 With the Gravity Falls theme in the background, a classic, legends are never forgotten.

To make sure the tester works, you need a CPU tester tester.
Pretty soon we're gonna be able to make a whole pc out of tester components
Bro that is the coolest way of testing bios and resetting aerial number even remotely. Or unhacking a mothrrboard
It's exactly what I thought it was. A very strange CPU
good they should be compulsory at all shops like the bulb testers

For sure, you'd need another tester board for that tester board.
