OK, this is not an emergency or anything, I was just curious. I know some of the components on a mobo, but for the most part I'm like the blonde popping the hood of her car to see what's wrong.
Here are some pix. Sorry the focus is off - zooming in macro mode is a little tricky. In the front one you can see that one of the SMT's has burst. On the back pic, you get an idea of how big an area was affected.
Note: The temps on this ran hot from day one - over 100C. It was so wacked, I figured there was a problem with speedfan for this mobo (Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H - POS). Welp, I guess not.
This is my first fried mobo. Do I get a prize?
