Question about motherboard

[axilleas_k20]

Hello I have a problem that I do not know the name of my motherboard, I have downloaded the speecy and other such applications for the specifications and they all tell me that I have the MSI 0AB8 (Socket 775), but above the motherboard is written ms 7352 (ver 1.0 )...
which of the two is ultimately my motherboard ?

I'm not sure why it offers the second number. Are they both outside of parentheses? Screenshot(s) help.

. Shows mine. My motherboard is the first one. MSI Z97 PC Mate. When you are replying you can look above the text block and see a Polaroid icon. Click that and paste a direct link to a pic sharing site. I used https://postimg.org/. The address needs to end with a pic extension. I used https://s5.postimg.org/n70ircu9j/image.png. https://example.jpg and https://example.bmp would also work.

The motherboard also has the name stamped on the board. I can look below the CPU socket and see MSI Z97 PC Mate.

This mobo is from a branded machine, HP probably, right?

I could only find this, it seems like it fits the description and model name:

No. Apparently it's MSI 0AB8.

If you have a HP Compaq dx 7400 I would side with what Speccy is telling you. Obviously finding the name on the board is the only way to definitively answer your question.

You can also give HWiNFO a try. It has both 32/64 bit versions and also has portable version which does not require installation. I have used it personally and it's quite accurate.

If you like you can try that and see if it gives you any more information.

You can find both installation and portable versions here:

what happens is a manufacturer in this case MSI made a board with HP specs, meaning they changed the Bios and called it something else.. Asus was famous for this, for example my board on my office pc is an Asus P5ql/EPU (markings on board) and Speccy reports it as Asus P5QL/WXC, which is basically a modified Bios or simply a part number for HP repairs.

what I am getting at Basically your board is MSI Z97 PC Mate with a possible bios flash from HP.

That's interesting. That explains the name change. Boards are adopted too.

Motherboard
Manufacturer MSI
Model Z97 PC Mate(MS-7850) (SOCKET 0)
Version 1.0
Chipset Vendor Intel

is what is shown if I click on motherboard within Speccy.
