1 L1 4μH 8 Turns 16AWG on MICROMETALS T50-52D core
I should have recalculated this manually, but the AI (Artifical Idiot) says the saturation current will be 20 amps.
4μH * ~20Amp * 5mOhm DC recistance

Ok thank you. I also need links as to where I can buy that stuff. 16awg copper wire I'm assuming? I would actually prefer one already made. Are there any that would work with the board sold on amazon?
Is this the ferrite core I need by any chance? https://www.tme.eu/en/details/t50-52/ring-fer … es/micrometals/ it looks like the original?

I gave you direct links to Mouser, where ready-made inductors are sold.

Gigabyte set 3.3 μH * 30 A in similar applications on Socket 370.
In general, if you want everything to work, take the large inductor from any SLOT 1/S370 motherboard.
Or take this one — it's rich&beauty, but it works right away.

This type of SMD is easy to solder with a soldering iron after removing the mask on the printed circuit board.

Ok can I use silver conductive glue or I must solder it to the board?

I'm afraid that with currents in the tens of ampers, only soldering will do, only old school. 😀

PS. First, I would trace the dimensions from the datasheet onto paper, cut it out, and attach it to the motherboard.
Electrically, it definitely fits, but you need to check whether it will fit size-wise.

Haha yes you're right 😁. I have the original case for this board although its seen better days but at least it has the original power switch working. The original 2001 dell power supply also still works because the power supply immediately turns on when plugged into the board but of course does not boot the computer yet (no power to the cpu ram etc). I feel like just ripping off an inductor from a different old board might be the way to go. How about an old power supply are there any inductors in those that might work because I have plenty of old broken power supplys?

I pulled off the big inductor off an old dead dell dimension 8200 board. Is it compatible? It looks very similar. Its in perfect condition but simply taping it down to the board to make contact doesn't boot the computer..so will try soldering next.

Core from power supplies, to put it simply, it's not suitable.
The smaller cores there are made of a different material with different magnetic properties.

The large inductor on the right on the green core should fit fine.

It does. Just have to figure out how to solder or rather de-solder the copper wire pieces left in the holes. They don't come out easy. It probably won't work anyway (since I have my doubts if this board will boot) though but anyway worth a try.

There is a misconception that solder is molten metal.
In fact, it is a solidified liquid. 😀
If you have a soldering iron with a temperature control, feel free to turn it up to the maximum.
When the solder reaches the right consistency, push out the wire fragment with a wooden toothpick/match, and that's it.
Well, apply a sufficient amount of flux to both sides of the board; this will increase fluidity.

If I'm not mistaken, this is an Intel OEM—one of the incarnations of the D815EEA.
So if it`s will works, it's a great thing.

Yeah! Well I found a guy who can do soldering better than me so he can do it tomorrow. Hope it works!
