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.
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?
HP Envy 17", i7-8550u,16GB, 512GB NVMe, 4K screen, Windows 11 x64
Custom PC - Z690, i9-12900K, 32GB DDR5 5600, dual 512 GB NVMe, gen4 2 TB m.2 SSD, 4K screen, OC'd to 5 Ghz, NVIDIA 3080 10GB

@Frank,
Good post! 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.

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?

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:

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?
