I personally don't like the sound of a motherboard that smells like it's been cleaned with chemicals. It may however, just have sat for a long time in someone's home who uses a strong laundry detergent that lingers in the air. It would make sense that the dust particles in the fan particularly have a strong scent.
The only thing I would use on electronics is denatured alcohol, which evaporates quickly and shouldn't leave a smell. If the smell is more like an abrasive chemical cleaner and strong across the entire board, I personally would return it. Even small amounts of liquid can cause corrosion that manifests problems later down the road.

Thanks for that info Patrick i am agree what you have said . well i will chat the seller of this motherboard.. so i can ask for refund. the reasons why i brought this because i want a built in 3G on my netbook and its hard to find a 3g motherboard here on ebay at cheap price.. well i will observe this and try to use it continuously to test if will cause a problem soon.
