Great, now motherboard prices might be next to spike thanks to component costs increasing by up to 50%

Motherboard prices are expected to rise as production costs increase. According to Board Channels, manufacturing costs have climbed by at least 10%, while August price adjustments averaged only 3%. The primary drivers are PCBs, with price hikes between 15% and 50%. Additionally, capacitors have increased by approximately 50%, and Wi-Fi modules have risen by 10% to 20%. These bill-of-materials costs exclude manufacturing and logistics, suggesting further price increases are likely for brands like MSI.
