Hello,
due to a failure of my motherboard, I'd like to replace it with a new one.
Is it possible to find a motherboard that has almost all features of the Hygos 8309?
I was looking for some motherboards that exclude some features of this.
In particular I need one that supports USB-C connector, sd card reader, 2 usb (to be connected to the motherboard, not those integrated), 3 fan connectors, wifi card slot, bluetooth card slot, eventually some rgb connectors and a microphone and headphone with microphone connector.
Otherwise, can you tell me what motherboard could be just fine with some of these features missing?

Hello
it may be very complicated to change the motherboard for another model
But why exactly do you want to replace it?

it s this one ?
- Amount: 16 GB
- Speed: PC4-19200 MB/s
- Type: DDR4-2400
you have one or two memory modules
If so, have you tested with one then the other?
If only one module, maybe it would be worth testing another one, in order to verify?
you can not go to a professional?
It would be a shame to change the motherboard for a simple faulty memory module, right?

yes, that’s m’y configuration.
I’ve tried to boot the pc with one module and then the other one, but still gave me the same beep error (3 longer and 2 shorter, repeated 5 times).
I’d prefer not to go to a specialist.
You think it is a memory problem? But then what is the “intermittent” failure that the guy from the post I linked to you was talking about? I’m actually confused now…. Is RAM or Motherboard so?
Wouldn’t it be useful to use a motherboard tester? I found it out on some forums and some say that identifies the fault among all the components. (Mine is just a supposition)

i dont know what you are talking about, which motherboard tester exactly?
You have two options at least, for one reason or another you would be out of luck and two HS molds if tested in each slot one by one.
Or indeed, the motherboard, or maybe just the damaged bios
Personally, I prefer to tell you, to try to have the motherboard tested by a professional with a new module, you will be fixed.
Replacing an hp motherboard is often a failure, format problem, connectors are not the same etc.
you may also no longer be able to use windows!
in most cases, it is better to buy a case with a motherboard

I’m actually going to buy a new ram module and try it so that if it works I’ll use it, otherwise if the ram won’t be the problem I’ll simply add a module of ram to my pc.
You think could be a good idea?

Why not, if the module does not work, you can probably return it to the seller
