Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.

The processor upgrade info can be found on this link. You can remove the processor.

You're very welcome.

But, do you know if you can use cpu´s with socket 1151 v2 on this motherboard? Such as intel core i3 9100F.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

No.

I just checked the BIOS updates for your PC including the revision history and no support is added for new processors.

You can only install the processors listed on that link I posted the other day.

is mATX or eATX the same as uATX?

Ill also add, just to back up what Paul has already said.

LGA-1151 and LGA-1151 V2 is not cross compatible. You cannot take an i9 CPU and make it work in an 1151 V1, even though the pin-outs look the same. There is no bios update that can fix that.  Its a difference in chipset's.
