Displaced tiny resistors on Dell Dimension 8300 board

[kahlil88]

Had some difficulty removing the caps off my Dimension 8300 board. My cheap soldering iron just couldn't seem to melt the solder so I flipped over the board and used hot air. They all popped out fine but halfway thru wicking up the remaining solder, I noticed several tiny resistors near the CPU had been bumped out of place!

those capacitors are actually resistors

Oof. Thanks for the correction. I knew they had to be one or the other. I guess the good news is I don't have to worry about polarity?

polarity ok but they are different resistances which does matter . you need to find the board view or a picture of one .
