motherboard
The central main circuit board in a computer, on which the essential components such as the processor, memory, and slots for expansion cards are mounted. Also referred to as a mainboard.

When assembling the computer, you have to carefully install the processor on the motherboard.
'Mainboard' is a loanword from English. It is made up of 'main' and 'board' (circuit board, board). So it literally means 'Hauptplatine' (main circuit board).
Das Mainboard ist die zentrale Komponente eines jeden Computers.
The motherboard is the central component of every computer.
In connection with a 'Mainboard' (motherboard), the verbs 'einbauen' (to install), 'austauschen' (to replace), 'installieren' (to install), or 'montieren' (to mount) are often used.
Ich muss mein altes Mainboard austauschen, weil es kaputt ist.
I have to replace my old motherboard because it is broken.
The word 'Mainboard' (motherboard) is a technical term from computer technology and IT. However, it is also used by many private individuals who are interested in computers.
Wenn du einen PC selbst zusammenbauen willst, musst du ein passendes Mainboard auswählen.
If you want to build a PC yourself, you have to choose a suitable motherboard.
board
'das Board' and 'das Mainboard' can both mean the main circuit board of a computer in technical contexts. 'Mainboard' is the precise and clear term. 'Board' is shorter and is often used in technical conversations, but it can also mean other circuit boards. In addition, 'Board' has completely different meanings, for example in sports or in business. That is why confusion can easily occur. If you want to speak clearly about the central circuit board in a computer, 'Mainboard' is the most unambiguous choice. 'Board' fits when the technical context is already clear.
