Hi All,
I have a 820-3437, Liquid spilled.
The repair all went ok. The board is alive, except i cant get it to load a OS.
Most of the stuff i get these days is from other repair shops, so naturally, someone has already swapped the bios out completely before it was sent to me.
The board passes...
I haven't seen a datasheet from intel that provide such mapping for ivybridge memory controllers
I'd tackle this by replacing 16 chips at a time. if your lucky your first go will fix this. Of course depending on time and money your willing to put into buys the chips.
I use this stuff

Its going to last me many many more years. I use this stuff for 95% of all my soldering.
Chip is like $10.00

in a pickle i'd just re-ball by hand, 30 mins tops.
So its not a dead short. I doubt injecting 3V into this rail will find the fault, but you could try as a LAST resort. Its time to examine the board for corrosion,
Was this liquid damage ?
Memory is connected to the CPU.
Dont reflow the CPU or PCH, you need to rule out the RAM first, since you have already confirmed voltage to the RAM, Your looking at bad RAM chips or at least one with a cracked solderball.
