Inadequate case cooling and elevated temperatures easily exacerbate this problem. It is possible but tedious and timeconsuming to find and replace failed capacitors on PC motherboards it is less expensive to buy a new motherboard than to pay for such a repair.citation neededMotherboards are produced in a variety of sizes and shapes form factors some of which are specific to individual computer manufacturers.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

Motherboards are generally air cooled with heat sinks often mounted on larger chips such as the northbridge in modern motherboards. If the motherboard is not cooled properly then this can cause the motherboard to crash. Passive cooling or a single fan mounted on the power supply was sufficient for many desktop computer CPUs until the late s since then most have required CPU fans mounted on their heatsinks due to rising clock speeds and power consumption. Most motherboards have connectors for additional case fans as well. Newer motherboards have integrated temperature sensors to detect motherboard and CPU temperatures and controllable fan connectors which the BIOS or operating system can use to regulate fan speed. Some higherpowered computers which typically have highperformance processors...
