may or may not be a part#; it does appear to be a factory sticker with barcode referencing as such
Always confirm from your seller that they do in fact have an Intel x58 socket 1366 motherboard capable of running an I7 9xx cpu, since some of these used/eBay items appear to be going by the R2 designation (which means P55 skt 1156 motherboard i7 8xx etc). Find your part#, but the 1st two boards are for the R1, either will work. Test your CMOS coin-cell battery for 2.5v - 3v, try one memory stick at a time, follow the troubleshooting guide, good luck & Cheers.
Cass-Ole, thank you for the quick reply. I have swapped the battery mentioned. But the above information is very helpful if I can find a board anywhere. Ive plenty of R2..R3....boards, but none R1 at all. If anyone knows of a source please advise. BTW its looks most like the 4VWF2 board.
