Motherboard looks fried.

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

The old motherboard which is probably defective looks fried.

I have two explanations for this:

1. The dual graphics cards 7900 gtx fried the motherboard... possibly
because of too low airflow to them.

2. The led connectors weren't properly attached, maybe caused electrical
frieing ? (unlikely though).

The frieing seems to be all across the motherboard, pictures:

Especially notice the frieing near the pc-beeper, bottom, right corner (near
the smiley looking thingy)

Those orange spots look like fries. They are everywhere.

The replacement/rma motherboard doesn't have fry spots like that.

What do you think ? Fry spots or not fry spots ? ;)

Bye,
Skybuck.

You need a flash diffuser, like a white piece of paper in front of the flash, or half of a pingpong ball.
We really cant see any burn marks.

Interesting tip.

I'll shall try it sometime.

Meanwhile the yellow spots look orange in normal daylight.

Have you tried zooming in ?

Bye,

Looks like typical damage caused by screwy, off-topic Usenet posts. Your
motherboard couldn't take it anymore and put itself out of its misery.

You have to zoom WAAAY in.
Right down to the synapse. Then the damage is readily apparent.

Well I thought about it some more.

It is pretty moisty in the summer.

And sometimes I have a teapot steaming hot air into my living room where the
kitchen is open.

So maybe third possibility:

3. Rust.

What effect could rust have ?

Maybe short circuit as it grows.

Or maybe obstruct electricity ?

Me have no idea what rust does to electronics and electricity ;)

Bye,
Skybuck.

Your motherboard problem is almost certainly from early childhood. Did
the other kids at school tease and make fun of you?

Better yet, don't use flash. Take the pictures outside in the shade, or use
a lamp off to one side. Can't say I see anything weird.

In that same vein I'd ask a favour of everyone. Most in the NVidia
group have killfiled this idiot. Perhaps you could remove the NVidia
group from your replies to him? TIA
