Hp Fxn1 E93839 Motherboard Specs Info

Installation note: Access requires removing the back cover of the AIO. One slot is often directly under the CPU fan/heatsink.

The FXN1 motherboard uses the LGA 1155 socket. While it officially supports 2nd generation Intel Core (“Sandy Bridge”) processors, many revisions (especially those using the Q65 chipset) are not fully compatible with 3rd generation (“Ivy Bridge”) without a BIOS update that HP rarely provided for OEM boards. hp fxn1 e93839 motherboard specs

Tested working CPUs:

Warning: Do not install an i7-3770 or i5-3570 unless you confirm the specific BIOS revision via HP’s system ROM. Installation note: Access requires removing the back cover

A major drawback for modern users is the lack of an M.2 slot. You cannot install an NVMe SSD directly. However, you have SATA ports to work with. The FXN1 motherboard uses the LGA 1155 socket

Workaround for NVMe: You can buy a PCIe-to-M.2 adapter card and install it in the PCIe x16 slot, but you cannot boot from it because the HP BIOS lacks NVMe boot support. You would have to use a Clover bootloader or use the NVMe drive only for data storage.
