The motherboard is built around an and is powered by the Intel Q85 Express chipset . This configuration was specifically designed to support Intel's 4th generation Core processors (codenamed "Haswell"). While it was commonly paired with mid-range Core i5 CPUs like the i5-4570 and i5-4590, this platform also officially supports other processors in the lineup, including the more powerful Core i7 chips, offering a path for substantial CPU upgrades.
The board features four DIMM slots supporting DDR3 technology.

If you power on the PC and see a red light on the motherboard and the fans spin loudly but there is no video: The motherboard is built around an and is
Intel Core i7-4770 or i7-4790 (non-K versions are recommended for stability, as the H87 chipset is limited for overclocking). RAM Upgrade: Maxing out to 32GB (4x8GB DDR3/DDR3L 1600MHz).
Standard Audio Jacks (Microphone, Line-in, Line-out). Networking: RJ-45 LAN (Intel I217LM Gigabit Ethernet). Legacy: PS/2 ports for keyboard/mouse. 7. Power Connector The board features four DIMM slots supporting DDR3
The board uses a standard 24-pin ATX power connector and a 4-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector. This makes it compatible with most standard power supplies, though HP often ships these systems with 300W or 460W units. Cooling is managed by a standard 4-pin CPU fan header and at least one 3-pin or 4-pin system fan header. Summary for Upgraders
The motherboard likely features various system monitoring tools, such as:
