I got this 486 motherboard,but it's missing the rezistor needed to set the cpu type.
It seems to be a 10 pin single in line rezistor.
Do i need a special model or any 10 pin single in line rezistor will do the job?

I've seen motherboards with this and it was 0 ohm array (each pair is effectively shortened). But not sure about your MB.

I pulled this resistor from a FIC motherboard ,it's only got 8 pins.
From the 000 marking on it,i presume corectly this is a 0 ohm resistor?

It is 4x 0ohm links, every pair of pins is a short.

Ok so if,let's say all of motherboard manufacturers,used this type of 0 ohm resistor,then a 10 pin(5x 0ohm links)resistor should work ok on my motherboard,to set the cpu type?

Yes but good luch finding one.

Here's what I juryrigged for one of my 486 motherboards:
