Will any LGA 1155 socket type mobo supports all LGA 1155 processors?
I am confused by ivy bridge processor on Sandy bridge Mobo.

I've been all over, even looking to custom bios flash. Seems HP has locked out any possible user upgrades to the point where even some Intel cpu's are not usable. It's a form of proprietary, if you want better you gotta buy better, you can't do better by yourself. The only possible way around it would be to find a model that uses the Leon board, h61 chipset with the same Ivy cpu you want and flash that bios. If that doesn't work, however, you'd be totally out of luck and the whole pc would be useless as I can't even find an original bios, nevermind an update. So, if you are ready to throw the pc away, it couldn't hurt, but if you plan on keeping it, I'd not try that route. It would be an absolute last ditch, all or nothing, hail Mary...

Lga1155 is an oddity. A hybrid. Sandy-Bridge cpus are gen 2, Ivy-Bridge are gen 3. Lga1155 accepts either. You can use an Ivy-Bridge cpu on a Sandy-Bridge board, or vice versa, the only requirement possibly being a bios update to allow the older Sandy-Bridge bios to recognize newer Ivy-Bridge cpus.

Did you go to HP support and type in the HP model, OS etc? Or did you just try the wj5? It's highly doubtful there were no bios revisions as the Leon was used in several models with several different cpus,all of which were not in production at the time of original bios, requiring an update somewhere. It's there, just follow the steps according to your pc model, not the motherboard.

HP basically designed those AIO pc's to be used, then thrown away when no longer viable.
