Bought a used FX4600 for cheap on Ebay.
After unpacking I noticed a sheered-off capacitor.
I soldered the capacitor back in place and cleaned up the board.
Not shiny enough.
Better.
I finished the job the next evening after work, but was too tired to take pictures during it. Thermal paste was applied where needed and the heat sink mounted back onto the board.
When I went to install the card I realized I didn't have a Molex-to-Graphicscard adapter to power the beast. We'll have to wait until the adapter arrives in the mail to find out if this old workhorse still has some life left in it.
