Are motherboards universal

[Native Liberian]

Hello,

 

I’m wondering if I import a mobo from the US to Australia (where I live) if the motherboard will have issues with power and it being different here. I’m guessing not since the motherboard isn’t plugged into the wall but I’m just double checking to be safe,

thanks

No, the motherboard is fed by the power supply who handles the conversion from alternative current to direct current.

Even the power supplies now are almost universal.

You wouldn't have any problems since it's the same parts everywhere, motherboards are universal

All internal parts of any electronics will work in any area. The only thing to watch out for is power supplies, but modern desktop power supplies are smart enough to be able to run on different ac voltages.

Some PSU's have 110/220V switch that has to be turned/flipped.. they would work anywhere too.

Straying from the OP topic:

 

While modern PSU can typically handle most input voltages, importing a PSU is generally a poor idea. Many locales require devices attached to the electrical grid be approved by some authority. While a non-approved device may operate without a problem, it can be grounds for denial of an insurance claim or claim against by the power grid.
