I built a liquid cooled rig a long while ago. Stll have it, don't use it...can't remember why...motherboard went bad I think. CAN'T GET replacement parts anymore. At least not certified and new. If I had time, I would learn about (test for) what sorts of things go bad in motherboards over time and if I can just replace a capacitor or resistor or something, or if I can even get the more complex chips from somewhere and solder them in myself. Seems like everybody just throws them away though.
You can't GET them anymore (I couldn't). Course I spent $3K to BUILD my PC and when done, in 6 months you could BUY my rig's power off the shelf for $800 (no liquid cooling). JUST ONCE cured me of wanting the biggest rig on the block. Poop timing on my part as far as product cycles go. 8 years later...you CANNOT GET the motherboard (NEW form factors or something). You COULD find them from skeezies on ebay. but WHO would buy one of those?

Seriously, my build is a budget build for sure. I put her together for $1300 with a very nice 32" monitor. Hell my card still sells for $1000 on Amazon right now! She's a budget build which can game ultra 4k at 60+ fps. Not bad for a low end rig.

Motherboards are pretty cheap, even for really good ones

It's not going to help your shit tier build. Just burn it. You wasted your time. 🤣
