Upgrade Guide

Give your computer a new motherboard, for the ultimate performance boost.

Remove the Old Motherboard

Most motherboards are held to the case by six to nine screws. Carefully remove the screws and set them aside in a container.

After you take out the screws, you can remove an ATX motherboard by sliding it slightly forward and pulling it upward. AT motherboards are sometimes secured with plastic brackets, and you must slide the motherboard sideways to release these brackets from the (hidden) slots underneath.
