• Octek SHARK 1S

Known issues:

• DALLAS RTC coin cell empty

The motherboard's Real-Time Clock (RTC) chip contains a coin cell that may have drained, causing the loss of CMOS settings. This can result in an inability to save settings, causing system instability or failure to boot. To fix this, the RTC chip can be replaced with an equivalent or repaired by cutting into it and soldering on a new external coin cell holder. Replacement guides are available at https://github.com/necroware/nwX287 or https://github.com/necroware/nw12887, depending on the actual chip used.

• VRM module required for expanded CPU support

Without an add-on VRM module this motherboard supports none or only a limited selection of processors. With the installation of a VRM module additional voltages can be added which allows this motherboard to support a wider range of processors.
