Hello.
Can someone please explain to me how motherboards that come with popular brand desktops (Gateway, Dell, eMachines) typically burn out? Is it strictly attributed to insufficient airflow, or does surpassing the RAM limit also make a difference? (By "surpassing RAM," I mean using up all the available MB and forcing the computer to compensate and run slower.)
Also, do some motherboard fans respond to temperature with a thermostat? How do you find out if your fans are providing enough cooling?
Thank you for your help.
