[SOLVED] Looking for a specific motherboard.

[Haymayjay]

I’m looking for a motherboard that has AM3+ with support for the FX-4300, and also has 4 Slots DDR3 RAM.

I’m kind of a newbie when it comes to motherboards, but I’m pretty sure a lot of them can’t fit in specific cases. I’m looking for one that can fit in the HPE-112Y Elite chassis case. Couldn’t find the specific dimensions of it.

Nothing too expensive.

Thanks in advance!

According to HP, the motherboard that comes in that tower is Micro-ATX, so a replacement must also be micro atx.
Also, the stock motherboard seems to use a standard 24 pin and 4 pin so the factory power supply will also be compatable with most replacement boards.

Here is a replacement:
ASUS M5A78L-M Plus/USB3
$64.99
This supports 4 sticks of ram and the FX4300. It is M-ATX so it will fit.

This board also supports onboard graphics in case you do not have discrete graphics.

Does the HPE-112Y Elite use conventional front panel connectors? The stsock motherboard looks like a standard Foxconn AM3 board, but always good to check.

Not a tech wiz, but yeah it’s a Foxconn AM3 board for sure, not sure what “front panel connectors” are though. Like the panel on the chassis that lifts up to reveal USB/Audio/Microphone ports? If so yeah.

Yes, The cables and their connectors that come from the devices on the front panel (bezel) of the case.

Besides the 4 DIMM slots, did you want the board to be suitable for overclocking? Need any other 'specialties'?
My other question is... was your old board dead? It seems you are looking for an exact replacement.

My old cpu. Cooked, and since it was old (2.8ghz Phenom) I was just going to get a new one!

This one would be a close AM3+ replacement to what you have now. You can also pick it up "open box" for a few dollars less. And they are all over the place used on ebay if you want to go that route.
