Alternatively, try a Linux Live CD and use CLI commands to determine the chipset. For a more extreme approach, take off the chipset heatsink to get a rough idea of the motherboard type.

03-10-2016, 05:12 PM #12I’m looking for a chipset that can recognize components, but the only one I’ve seen that might have been functional was the i3-2120. If things get worse, I’ll consider another model. It’s puzzling why manufacturers don’t include model details.

03-11-2016, 12:13 PM #13I decided to follow the suggestion from grss1982 and removed the chipset heatsink. The notes were minimal, but it confirmed the board uses a Q67 chipset. I’m planning to purchase an i5-2500k to get the system running. I’m eager to test its capabilities. I value all the feedback, support, and suggestions you provided. I’ll keep sharing updates once everything is assembled and working. I still worry about locating all the board drivers, but now I have a clearer picture of the chipset—better than before. Thanks again!
You're absolutely correct, and I appreciate your honesty. My goal is to secure a suitable CPU with Windows 10, so most drivers will install automatically. I plan to use a profiling tool like CPU-Z to assess the board and proceed from there. For the thermal pad, I’ll need to replace the one I used during cleaning since the original was partially removed. The heat sink’s attachment area was exposed, and I filled the gap with standard thermal paste temporarily. Anyone have suggestions for a replacement pad in such a situation? I should note this was my first time handling a chipset heat sink... lol.

03-15-2016, 01:53 AM #16I recall this has been a long time and you likely figured it out, but back then I owned around 25 of these compact desktops in a doctor's office. They were ideal for wall mounting even on the monitor back. Most had a Pentium G630 at 2.7ghz, though some ran faster. Now I only have one left in my junk drawer. The circuit board uses the FCLGA1155 socket and supported many processor speeds.
