Greetings @PSU007 

Welcome back to the Forum.

The best MB replacement option for your PC is a HP: like-kind MB.

What is your intent? 

Are you replacing a dead HP MB or looking at an after market MB upgrade?

I'm not familiar with your PC's case. But HP can modify front panel: power button, LED, and USB pinouts.

You may be able to do an after market uATX MB upgrade or you may have: front panel/USB problems. You will, most likely, lose HP case RGB stuff using a retail MB.

A different Forum member having hands on experience could give you a definitive answer to your question.

I want to replace CPU with Ryzen 7 2700x but my MoBo is Higos not Higos2 and also it has the problem of the new 16gb RAM replacement. I have to reset the RAM after booting

The omen 880-020's case has a I/O problem for the MB that i found.  I want to know if one could find a right MB.

Thank you

So you can't use the 880 case with a retail MB because of an I/O problem.

I thought you might have an issue using a non HP MB in the 880 case.

I checked HP Part Surfer and cannot locate the Higos2 MB part number. I also could not find a Higos2 MB on eBay.

You would probably have to do a new PC case if you want an aftermarket MB and the 2700X.
