Best Fried Motherboard locations in ARC Raiders
The Fried Motherboard spawns randomly in areas of Technological nature. You can find such areas across all four maps, but I have found the highest success from Dam Battlegrounds.
The Dam Battlegrounds map has several locations that are tagged as Technological areas. My favorite spot, and where I have had the most success, is the Research and Administration building. Located in the central part of the map, this colossal building has plenty of containers to breach and loot. You can search every floor to increase the chances of finding a Fried Motherboard.

The location is pretty popular for finding keys as well. Keys in ARC Raiders allow you to access locked areas and offer valuable loot, items, and blueprints. The keys spawn randomly across the map, but I have found a bulk of them from the Research and Administration building.
As a secondary choice, I have had some success from the Space Travel building in Buried City. Located in the northern part of the map, the building has helped me with a few Fried Motherboards. Finally, you can always gain them randomly (with low chances of success).
