i have recently picked up a couple of Sabertooth motherboards that i want to put in "mothballs" for at least a few years. is there any possibility of capacitors going bad through not being used at all? the boards have been tested and put away in their boxes, so they are not connected to any power supply. also, they are in a climate controlled storage area. i no longer plan to ride the constant upgrade merry-go-round. i like this specific board, and want to just have spares for my current build that uses this board. am i being overly optimistic, or is it reasonable to assume that the capacitors will remain in pretty much their current state? thanks in advance for any insights and info.

If you don't, there's a high chance the battery will get drained and you will have to re-enter the BIOS settings regardless, so no point in keeping it in the motherboard. Besides, after a few years, you will probably forget what BIOS settings you put in originally anyways. The battery itself should be fine too if it's out of the motherboard.Comment
