How long can a typical mobo last?

[meckstroth14]

I bought my desktop as a pre-built in either 2012 or 2013. I can't remember. Assuming it was 2012 and my mobo is now 6 years old, should I be worried? The mobo and cpu are the only old parts in my pc besides the fans.

Everything else has been upgraded and is 3 years or less old.

Specs: i7 4770 3.4 ghz
Gtx 1070
16 gb ram
512 gb ssd.

The mobo is an hp mobo if that helps.

PSU and gpu are a year and a half old

Download HWInfo check the temperature, CPU Usage, if it's Fine, nothing to worry. Every Mobo, has their own Durability, and i believe if it was Prebuilt PC, all fine, since they must be pick the good Hardware for their systems.

They hold much longer than cpu can handle workloads. usually mobo ( if no capacitor leak happens is fine 10+ years) if maintained (dust cleaned, etc) 20+ should be easy. All depends on initial quality of all parts. and if you count mobo with busted integrated sound card as still "working". I still have core 2 duo from 2006 working without any issues.
most problems happens either from bad quality PSU or no maintenance.

Still using my ga-ex38-ds4 from Feb 2008 with a Q9550s and 4 x 4GB ddr2. I did have a problem with ram a year ago. Mobo beeped like crazy one day, wouldn’t boot. Found out I couldn’t keep the ram voltage at 1.9, so I had to back it down to 1.8 and couldn’t overclock the ram anymore, so it’s at 800mhz now. Otherwise it works fine for me.

my siemens nixdorf slot 1 is still powering up every day and running for 10-14 hours for 20 years.
