[Phantom Miner]

Sorry, but that does not look like the normal spacing (regarding the holes in the motherboard) for the typical AMD CPU bracket. I would assume HP/Compaq uses a proprietary mount.

However, it does look surprisingly similar to an Intel mount pattern, not that this will help mounting the AMD heatsink. Do you have the heatsink that was originally used with the motherboard? Also, what CPU are you mounting to this?

Yes i do have the heatsink that came with it and the CPU is an AMD A10 7890k

In that case, you may have no choice but to use the HP/Compaq OEM heatsink. Hopefully, it is capable of handling the heat of the A10. What CPU did you originally have in this system?

I had an A10 8700 do you know any motherboards that can fit in my PC http://store.hp.com/us/en/mdp/desktops/envy-desktop--1

The motherboard you initially linked is a mATX motherboard. Both mATX and mini-ITX motherboards will fit in that case/PC.

Keep in mind that your system has only a 300w PSU (unless you upgrade it). This will limit your options for what video cards (GPU) you can use.

Are you just wanting to swap the motherboard?

BTW, you'll likely need a new Windows license (technically) as well. The OEM install you are likely using is tied to your motherboard.

Yes, it should fit just fine.
