+[title] Prepare new mainboard
+[* black] If you'd confirmed you have mainboard fault and bought a new one, you need to prepare it first.
+[* black] Firstly, you need to replace the original fan - as I said in introduction, the original one may fail in a few months. ***Don't try to skimp here, use the best fluid dynamic bearing fan you can get!*** I'm using Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX in the photo, but any other 40x40x10 mm fan with 12V 3-pin connector will do. Don't forget to connect the fan cable.
+[* black] Secondly, replace the original CMOS battery (CR2032 type). The mainboard had sit in a warehouse for 6 or more years by now, so the original battery will be dead.
+[* icon_caution] Mainboards produced at different dates use different mounting screws for the CPU fan, so you may encounter some difficulties mounting the new fan. If it happens, I usually use 2.5x15 mm wood screws.
