Hi,

 

These are the techncial specifications for the HP HPE h8-1240t.  The specifications make this PC a "giant" killer.  The Intel socket is probably the 1155 as it also support the i7-2600.

 

The below image is the "Formosa" motherboard.

 

Formosa motherboard.jpg

 

PCI-E x16 3.0

4 SATA III ports plus 4 SATA II ports

RAID capable

Up to three hard drives

USB 3.0

Power supplies up to 600 watts

Pump fan connector --- water cooling but the configurator doesn't show that option

Up to the Radeon 7950 in the above techncial specifications but the configurator doesn't show the 7950

 

Downsides:  Where is the support for 32 GB using 8 GB dimms? How about 1600 MHZ dimms?

@Frank,

 

Good post! :generic:  The HP Business Center must get the information before the consumer side.

I looked at this for another poster concerning his h8-1240t and he only ID'd the board as being made by "IPMMB-FM". I recognized this as motherboard model, searched it, and the only references were to HP TouchSmart 610-xxxx all-in-one computers. This threw me, as I thought the board was a custom design for an AIO and it shouldn't be in a mid-sized desktop.

Thanks for such a quick as well as accurate response. I had spent several hours trying to find that info on my own.

HP Recommended

Thank you. I received a similar response, but your photo of the MB is much clearer, as it labels all the connectors. Very helpful and much appreciated. 

HP Recommended

That image shows that it has 2 SATA 6.0 gbps ports and 4 SATA 3.0 gbps ports, however the HP specs for this board just show 6 SATA 2.0, which only supports 3gbps.

 

Can anyone confirm there are actually 2 6.0gbps ports?

HP Recommended

I tried to connect my SSD drive to port 4 (red) - it is definetly SATA II according to drive speed test.

When connected to port 1 (white) I got maximum speed for my SSD, so I believe this port is SATA III.

Looks like this motherboard has same specs as IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) motherboard http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/ipisb-ch2/ .

 

I didn't test, but if this is true SATA ports are:

4 * SATAII 3Gb/s connectors
SATA 2/3/4/5
3Gb/s transfer speed – Supports four SATAII ports  (Orange/Light Blue/Black/Red Color)
RAID: 0/1/ Support
 
SATA 0/1
2 * SATAIII 6Gb/s connectors
6Gb/s transfer speed- Supports two SATAIII ports (White/Blue Color)
 
HP Recommended

The colors you listed don't seem to match up with what the diagram says. It says the SATA III ports are the red and black.

 

I have my SSD plugged into SATA 0 (which is the dark blue one on the diagram -- I think mine matches up) but haven't tested the speeds yet. What did you use to test?
