SPIDER_1 · Jan 15, 2016

i need a mobo that can support an fm2 to swap for my foxconn 2a8c because it's not really working really well so i need to change the mobo and pls tell me if that motherboard can fit on this pc http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/compaq-presario-cq3000-desktop-pc-series/3942826
this is my current pc right now that i need to change the mobo on

Judging by pictures, it's some kind of irregular MB, upside down comparing to normal configurations. Doubt that any off-the-shelf mobos would fit.

so i cannot upgrade this?

I'm afraid you are stuck with HP/Compaq replacements unless you are willing to change case too. Should be able to keep everything else.

so first i should buy a case compatible to the fm2 board that i am getting? right?

Right just decide on MB size first. Smallest ones are mini ITX, a bit larger micro ATX, than full ATX etc. Case and MB should kinda go together because of different sizes.

but what if i find a size the same as this one foxconn? can i just put it in and install it?

CountMike · Jan 19, 2016

There are ATX standards for sizes of MBs and cases too. So, let's say you want a mATX (micro ATX) MB, you need a case that has same designation or larger.
