The absolute irony that I’m pretty certain this image was generated by AI. πŸ™„

    That's on par with regular stock photography.

    What's that smell? Are you cooking chicken?

    The initial smell is more like burning hair.

    Hm I've had motherboards that only tab open from one side, but I haven't seen memory slots positioned so far away from the CPU socket. Maybe on a server board.

    Definitely is.

    • Memory latches look immovable
    • That memory stick has two solid conductors / β€œpins”. The notch is huge, but missing from the slot.
    • Left side of ATX 24-Pin is garbled. There appears to be a second connector with more than 8 Pins, but not quite 24.
    • Memory slots are always right next to the CPU socket. In this image, it’s offset.
    • Right hand appears to be pinching against a second memory module.
    • Right pinkie is doing something real weird

    The fins on the radiator are the giveaway.

    Not that the radiator is in another zip code from the RAM? :D

    Any particular reason you feel that way? I'm not seeing any telltale signs that most AI generated photos have. Not saying you're wrong, just wondering what you're seeing that I don't.

    The most obvious one to me is the missing notch in the RAM slot. And this is more vague, but AI struggles with complex perspective in images like this and the whole proportions are just a bit β€˜wavy’? β€˜Wonky’? Not sure what it is, but things just don’t quite line up sharply like they do on a real motherboard.

    I missed the notch. Good point. I did go back and looked closer after my post and the weird hard cutoff on the focus on the heatsink is giving weird vibes too. If it were just focus I'd expect a smoother transition. I can't fully discount that the lack of pixels is to blame, but the notch definitely is missing. As someone else pointed out, the ram position is odd too in relation to the mobo.

    Thinking about it, the power connector is in a weird spot too. Never seen one in that orientation. Usually it's vertical towards the edge of the board.

    I definitely spent more time looking for malformed shapes and details then I did component position. But at the same time, I think of that stock photo of a lady pretending to solder, but she's holding the iron by the hot part. It would be weird to not use a real mobo for a stock photo though.

    Not the same person, but look at the CPU cooler placement..

    On real motherboards the CPU is right next to the RAM. At least I don't know any exception to the rule.
