Hi,

I believe the motherboard is gone in my son's computer The computer is an Alienware Aurora R4 x79. Intel core i7 quad core. What motherboard is required for replacement?

Thank You!

Hoo boy, if it is this computer https://www.cnet.com/products/alienware-aurora-r4-mdt-core-i7-3820-3-6-ghz-16-gb-2-tb/specs/

Then you're gonna need a used LGA 2011, anyways I started looking and the motherboards get a bit convoluted, in any case those motherboards aren't manufactured anymore, It's either find used or get a new PC
