Hello
I've been wondering for quite some time at what those components on the back of desktop CPUs are. I've tried
googling many times with no success.
Perhaps decoupling caps? But then why so few and why on board when you can put them right beneath the cpu on the MB.
My second guess is thermistors, but I still can't figure out what those 8-pin packages are. Resistors? If so then what for.
Thanks in advance
