Hi, this computer is for sale on a nameless auction site. The seller does not identify the motherboard or CPU.

It is clearly an Asus board and appears to be fairly modern as it has USB 3.0 and SATA 6gb/s. It is probably from 2009 to 2012.

I did a Google search for blue Asus motherboard and could not find this exact board.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The cooler looks like an athlon II stock cooler, likely one of those without coper inlay. I do not know exactly for which models this one was used (mine was from an athlon II x3 435), but it is not a phenom II or fx, their stock coolers have heat pipes (and are incredibly loud).
