Hey guys, I picked up a core i3 3210 from ebay for a syslog server and it showed up with capacitors missing. I did tempt fate and tried it in my motherboard and the damn thing works. I installed windows 10. I stressed it with intelburntest. I ran the intel diagnostics tool. It never crashed or showed any issues with voltage or heat.
As this computer will be running 24/7 at my house I worry about it being a fire hazard.
Looking for opinions on if it is safe and/or return. The seller never said it had damage; just that it was working.
