This is the "gotcha" with the IPIMB-AR. While the board features a standard and a 4-pin CPU power connector , Acer power supplies are sometimes built to slightly non-standard efficiency curves.
The IPIMB-AR offers a range of upgrade possibilities, which is one of the main reasons people search for its documentation.
Such is the case with the . Often found housing the silicon brains of Acer Aspire desktops (specifically models like the Aspire X3900 and X3900G) and Veriton business towers, this board is a capable LGA 1156 platform that has baffled many upgraders. Acer Ipimb-ar Rev 1.02a Manual

This board has known capacitor aging issues (typically the 1000µF 6.3V units near the CPU). If you have soldering skills, it’s repairable. Otherwise, used boards sell for $15–30 on eBay. The manual does not provide a capacitor map, but you can use the board’s silkscreen (CE101, CE102 labels).
The Acer IPIMB-AR (Rev 1.02A) is a proprietary Motherboard Layout Code (MLC) manufactured by Pegatron for Acer desktop computers. It is most famously found inside the Acer Aspire AT3-905, Predator G3620, and Veriton series desktops. Because it is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) board, Acer never released a standalone retail manual.
The integrated rear I/O shield exposes basic workspace and peripheral connectivity:
The Acer IPIMB-AR uses an , not the more common AMI or Award. The manual provides minimal detail here, but advanced users need to know:
