motherboard upgrade for hp Compaq 6005
HP Compaq 6005
HP Compaq 6005 Pro Minitower
HP 3047h Motherboard
Form Factor: MicroBTX/small form (10 3/4 x 8in)
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/275192/Hp-Compaq-6005-Pro.html
320W BTX power supply
AMD Phenom II X4 B97 Processor 3.2 GHz

Is there an upgrade motherboard (microBTX - mounts on the left side) that I can
obtain (buy on ebay or equivalent) to upgrade the CPU (faster than 3.4 GHz) that
you know of. I have searched and the fastest I found is 3.4 GHz.
I like the hp 6005 case and have installed additional cooling (more fans) as most
computers can use additional cooling. I want to upgrade this if possible.
Thank You

BTX, microBTX are obsolete form factor designs. Balanced Technology eXtended) is a form factor for motherboards, originally intended to be the replacement for the aging ATX motherboard form factor in late 2004 and early 2005. Future development of BTX retail products by Intel was canceled in September 2006 following Intel's decision to refocus on low-power CPUs.

Initially, only Gateway and Dell offered computers with the new format, later HP and Fujitsu-Siemens (now Fujitsu) also offered some BTX-based computers. The handful of manufacturers who did adopt BTX for some products did so for only a few years after 2006. Today little or nothing using BTX form factor is available.
