Hi
Ideally the Main Board decides, mine is an 8130...
So with the System Board ID: SSID 8130 there may be alternates.
So the SKU and the SSID may help.
I cannot see the picture so I am guessing quite a bit...
Choice of three, and only the correct one is to be used.

Can't help you without more info.
ESC and then F1 and give the board SSID.
Try Belarc Advisor or Piriform Speccy.
