Hi. I got myself a PC Chips M825G. Apparently, the CPU is "welded" in the CPU onboard socket. But my instruction booklet says that it supports AMD Athlon, Athlon XP and Duron. Does it means that I can change the CPU chip?

Here's the board image:

And the CPU chip that I want to change:

The specifications that I want to modify

AMD Athlon PRO2700A+ 1.33GHZ
TO:
AMD Athlon XP 2.6-4GHZ 333MHZ frontbus

If you want to desolder the chip than yeah it will probably work :)

Does it means to un-weld it? :confused: I think it can be removed by itself. I don't remember the board when I first saw it already having the CPU :( I think they mean that the CPU socket is welded. The only thing to find it out is to try. :)
 
if it has a socket then it is easy to change, if it is an 'integrated' processor the youd have to remove solder
 
Well if you got this board from the factory or an actual dealer than the chip ISN'T on the board already. It's an empty CPU slot just like a normal motherboard. If you got it from a person or some sort of non-company seller (ebay or the like) then you might wanna take it up with them and see if you can get the board replaced. It just seems so odd that they'd make the CPU permanent and not let you change it.
 
I highly doubt they WELDED the chip considering that it would prolly disintigrate the thing...

Yes, if it were welded the CPU would be fused to the socket. Soldering uses a filler metal and does not reach the melting point of the piece (until the temperature reaches 450 C, then it magically becomes brazing :) )

On-board cpus are not socket fitted they are soldered right to the board
 
As I was just buying it, I did not see the CPU, I only saw the CPU socket. I think I may change it. And he told me that if I remove the welded thing, the motheboard will be screwed up. :confused: :eek: . I will have to remove the heatsink and find out :rolleyes:
