We’re working on a computer at the office and found an Intel SE440BX-2 motherboard with Pentium II installed.
Pretty sure it is still working.

The bent pins
A few days a go my colleague and I were working on a computer which was having some odd problems. During the trouble shooting, I noticed something with the CPU socket.
At a glance, there’s nothing wrong with the CPU socket, but upon a much closer inspection you can see where the problem is.
Two pins were bent out of shape. It might be causing the computer to randomly crash.
Intel Core i7-2600 at 6 GHz
The last time I checked Intel Core i7-2600 clock speed doesn’t go near 6 GHz. Apparently Windows 8 thinks so.
No over-clocking done on this processor. It’s Windows 8 that’s confused.
