I don't have experience with motherboards and CPUs but I have seen similar things with storage subsystems. Take hard disks intended for laptop or desktop use, and spin them 24/7 in a server and you get overheating, uneven bearing wear, and faulty operation. Take a cheap Orient-made hard disk apart and find a surface rated for 500Gig used with a stepper motor which turns it into a 750Gig drive. Or a sprayed gold databus rated for 11ms switching which should be an electroplated databus rated for 6ms switching. That sort of skimping is fine on a laptop you use for browsing and email. Then you find some cheapo business organisation is using one as a server. Diagnosing the problem takes a thousand dollars of expert time that could have paid for a proper server. And a professional software developer resentful because he had to learn hardware and physics.
