The motherboard is a link of the other computer devices. The durability and stability of the PC work depends on its faithful choice. Therefore, the choice and purchase should be taken seriously. When the "native" fee fails, you do not need to hurry to throw it away, first try to repair, contacting specialists. If you decide to replace it, then choose a suitable processor.
1
Buy a motherboard only in storeor in internet. Start by defining the architecture of your computer. If the system of the system block is small, then not every motherboard will become in it. The selection of the board depends on the important parameter - the manufacturer of the processor: Intel or AMD.

Socket (socket) is a connector for installing a processor on a motherboard. Processors firm Intelsupport the connector whose name begins on LGA. Processors AMD.support sockets with the name beginning on S, AM, FM. From the instructions for the processor you exactly learn which socket will fit your processor. Typically, the motherboard is selected simultaneously with the processor, it can already be installed on the board. Do not buy a board with 2, 4 sockets, if you are not collecting a server.
3
The following parameter is the frequency of the tire. The greater this indicator, the higher the performance of the entire system. The throughput of the motherboard should not be below the frequency of the processor tire. If the processor bus frequency is higher than the one that supports the motherboard, it will not work.
4
The amount of RAM is an equally important value. It affects the speed of the computer. The greater the slots for RAM, the more memory panels can be installed on it. For a home computer, the most optimal option is 4 memory slots. There are several types of memory, the most relevant type - DDR3.
5
You need to connect additional devices to the motherboard: sound, network and video cards, Wi-Fi adapter, TV tuner and many others. It should be noted than the more slots on the board, the greater the number of devices can be connected. Many modern devices are very doused, have their own cooling system, so sometimes interfere with each other during installation. Yet should not save on PCI slots - will be useful when adding new devices.
6
Connectors for HDD discs. SATA connectors are relevant and the best. Their data transfer rate (6 GB / s) is higher than that of the IDE. The number of connected hard drives depends on the number of SATA connectors. Limits the number of disks The size of the system unit housing. Install the second hard drive and more you can, if the case allows. The new motherboard is equipped with an IDE connector for a possible connection of the "old" HDD, make it not the main one for the best operation of the system.
7
For stable computer work, its cooling system is important. Motherboard chipsets are most often cooled with radiators. Than chipsets are colder, the work of the computer is better. The swelling of the capacitors due to ill-conceived cooling is the most common cause of the breaker of the motherboard and other components. The dust accumulated inside the system unit can also cause overheating.
8
Lovers listen to music important which sound reproduces the computer. For this corresponds to the sound controller. To create a home theater based on a computer, the motherboard must maintain a multi-channel audio system, i.e. We need a fee with a large number of audio channels. Types of sound controllers: 2.0 - stereo sounds, 5.1 - surround audio system (with a subwoofer), 7.1 - as 5.1 plus lateral speakers.
When replacing the motherboard, change the outdated power supply. Try to pick up components from one manufacturer, so they are better combined. Pay attention to the BIOS embedded in the motherboard, it must maintain the ability to update.
