The is a Micro-ATX motherboard commonly found in Acer Veriton series business desktops, such as the X4610G and X4618G. It features the Intel Q65 Express chipset and utilizes the LGA 1155 socket, supporting 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Technical Specifications Form Factor : Micro-ATX. Processor Socket : LGA 1155 (Socket H2). Memory : 4x DIMM slots supporting DDR3 1066/1333 MHz. Storage Interface : 4x SATA II (3Gb/s) connectors (typically black). 2x SATA III (6Gb/s) connectors (typically red/white). Expansion Slots : 1x PCI Express x16. 1x PCI Express x1. Rear I/O Ports : Video: VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort.
If the motherboard emits a series of short satisfy beeps and refuses to display an image, it usually indicates a . Remove all RAM modules, clean the slots with compressed air, and test the system with only one stick of RAM in the first slot. Graphics Card Compatibility (UEFI vs Legacy)
While Acer never published a standalone , everything you need is here or in the service guide of a related Veriton or Aspire system. Bookmark this page for pinout diagrams, BIOS settings, and troubleshooting steps.
The board supports 4GB DIMMs per slot. However, double-sided 8GB DIMMs may not be recognized. Use only low-density 2Rx8 DDR3 modules. Also, re-seat your CPU cooler – overtightening can bend pins in the LGA1155 socket, disabling memory channels.
Pin 1 is Positive (+), Pin 3 is Negative (-).
: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) enabled header for controlling the primary CPU cooler fan speed dynamically based on temperature.
: Includes 5x SATA ports (typically 4x SATA II 3.0Gb/s and 1x SATA III 6.0Gb/s). Expansion Slots : 1x PCIe x16 (2.0). 2x PCIe x1. 1x Legacy 32-bit PCI slot. Input/Output & Internal Headers
Confirm that the 4-pin ATX_12V auxiliary power cable is firmly seated alongside the 24-pin main power cord. Check that the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU_FAN header, as many BIOS versions will trigger a safety shutdown if no fan RPM signal is detected. Finally, verify the thermal paste is fresh and the heatsink is clamping down evenly. Issue 3: New Graphic Cards Give Black Screen
This 9-pin header allows you to use the headphone and microphone jacks integrated into the front or top of your PC case. It complies with Intel's HD Audio standard. MIC L (Microphone Left Channel input) Pin 2: AUD_GND (Ground circuit) Pin 3: MIC R (Microphone Right Channel input)

A common challenge when migrating this board to a new case is the proprietary 14-pin front panel header. While layouts can vary slightly, the standard configuration for this series is: Pins 1 (+) and 3 (-) Reset Switch: Pins 5 and 7 Power Switch: Pins 6 and 8 Power LED: Often pins 2 and 4. Note: Pin 10 is frequently missing as a key. 3. Internal & Rear Connectors
: SATA II (3Gbps), suitable for optical drives or secondary storage. Front Panel Connector Pinout
