Identification notes
What is known
ACCESSION 003. The motherboard silkscreen directly identifies an ASUS ROG Maximus VI Impact. The photographs show a mini-ITX board with an empty LGA1150-style socket, open retention frame, two red DIMM slots, rear I/O, onboard Start control, and installed vertical daughterboard assemblies. No CPU or memory is installed. Loose fibrous or dust-like debris is visible near the upper daughterboard and power section; its nature and extent are unverified. The official ASUS specification identifies the Maximus VI Impact as an Intel Z87, LGA1150, mini-ITX motherboard with two DDR3 DIMM slots. On August 15, 2026, the operator recalled that this platform may have used an Intel Core i7-4790K but explicitly expressed uncertainty. No processor is present in the current photographs, and no processor object is assigned from that recollection alone. The current photographs do not establish the exact PCB revision, straight socket pins, complete accessory set, clean electrical condition, successful POST, BIOS state, or any functional result.
Restoration relevance
Why it remains connected
accessioned / model identity verified / socket inspection and bench validation pending. Disposition: unassigned / operator decision pending. The object remains associated with LE RÉDEMPTEURE / X99 Recovery Dossier.
