You need to find a 4.1 or 5.1 to test your cpu board.

if you put your board in a 5.1 the fans will go full speed, this is ok.

Maybe try to get a W3520 CPU to test it out? They are like ~$5 on eBay. Probably easier and more efficient than trying to find someone willing to let you test theirs out. Also probably much cheaper than getting a new CPU board. Heck I just found a matched PAIR of then for $1.28 with $3 shipping!
