What mobo is this?

Go to solution Solved by Patrick3D,

Based on the MAC address it is a Chaintech brand motherboard. After a little browsing through some image searches it looks like it may be a Chaintech Zenith 9CJS. Couldn't find a manual for it though.

So I recently got a new computer (received, not bought) and I when I was plugging all the wires in I discovered a cn1a slot, I was going to look for the manual online but I didn't know the mobo brand, type or name so I am stuck now, could anyone identify the following motherboard?

Since I'm new to this forum, where can I upload images to my thread? Might be handy

You need to find an image hosting service such as imgur.com, upload your image to that, then paste the forum image code into your post where you want the image

My PC:


4670k      GTX 760 ACX      CoolerMaster Hyper 412s      Fractal Design Node 804      G1 Sniper M5      Corsair RM 650      WD Red 1TB     Samsung 840 Evo 120GB

Thanks everyone for the quick help, here's the bb code for the image:

If you were to need another image just ring a bell

I reckon it's an asus motherboard because of the colors, but I can't help you further because i'm not legacy enough ;)

The problem is in the fourth picture, the upper right corner small socket, a few very small wires (labeled: 5v,ground,+,-,hdd led) should be inserted but I totally don't know in which order, I do know however on which side the plus and minus should go so that shouldn't be a problem

It is possible that due to the age of the computer that it may be an OEM motherboard with no specific manual for the general public available anymore.

By the way the computer was built in around 2002/2003 if that is of any help

see that large chip with "Intel" on it, right next to the PCI slots and under the ram slots? that's the chipset. Can you tell me exactly what it says or get me a decent picture of that?
