So right now we can't find this part anywhere to buy unfortunately. I found a second hand motherboard on ebay that is for parts only which i'm going to buy, we are going to take off that part and put it on my busted motherboard. That is my option A. Option B is I found 2 motherboards on ebay that are in working condition which is the same as my current motherboard which then leads to me just doing a straight swap. Option A is the cheap option whilst option B will just cost a little more money. What would you guys do?

Do you have the same board? and is that the number on the component?

Thank you for your help much appreciated :) right now my best option is to probably take it to a professional and see if it’s fixable by the looks of it.

Does anybody have this board who can tell me what this part number is that has be damaged? So from feedback it seems to be the voltage regulator.

My board is now close to 3-4 years old, it wouldn’t be covered by warranty anymore. I’m trying to work out if it’s a fuse or if I have damaged by fan cpu header on my motherboard. I might try buying a fan controller hub from Corsair and see if running a new fan controller will work.

Hey guys first time poster here and I would like to see if anybody knows what I have damaged? So I cleaned my computer out and took everything apart to clean the dust. I also installed new RGB LL120 fans on my radiator and on the back end of my computer as an exhaust. I put everything back together again and realised that my ssd wasn’t connected. So I got my old sata power cable and connected my ssd to my power supply. I turned on the computer and instantly I saw my motherboard spark and I heard like a pop sound. The computer still powers on and posts but without the fans working. Does anybody know what I could have potentially done? here is a picture I have provided of the damage from the board which is the only thing I can visually see.
