if you look at full size ('all sizes') you can see VERY tiny dots either in center or off-center on all of the gold circle pads. I assume this is from the factory test 'bed of nails' which would test each cpu and have to touch each pad to be able to do that.
the resolution of this camera (fz30) could show the tiniest indentation due to the bed-o-nails tester!
shot was taken by pany fz30 on a tripod, standard lens, HDR processing, using home made lightbox.
Today was a full day of catching up on cleaning, laser tag, grocery shopping and replacing computer parts... well, watching Kevin replace them.

This is Jesse adding the thermal compound to the top of his CPU. This part is not an exact science and always scares me the most; especially since it's dealing with the most expensive part of the build!

Back at the turn of the millenium, when I still built my own computers rather than buying them off the shelf, this was my processor. It was my first processor faster than 1gig and I was a big fan of AMD for making that kind of power affordable. Today it's so much junk. I shelved the machine when the motherboard went bad and finally got around to recycling it last weekend but I couldn't let this CPU go - it sits on my desk - a reminder of our recent and evolving past.
