Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This HP MH-40 project motherboard, documented under board number GAB6600-B130A and document H710DI1, is built around the Intel Huron River Sandy Bridge platform with a PGA988B socket supporting 35W dual-core and 45W quad-core processors. The platform is paired with an Intel PCH Cougar Point MH M65 Express Chipset. Graphics are handled by an AMD GPU in a Muxless Hybrid Switchable configuration, with options for Seymour XT 15W or Whistler XT 35W discrete GPUs. System memory consists of two DDR3 SODIMM slots operating in dual-channel mode. The embedded controller is an ITE8518, and the system BIOS is stored on a 4MB SPI ROM, with a separate 512KB SPI ROM for the EC. Audio is managed by an IDT 92HD80 codec, with amplification provided by TPA3111D1, TPA2012, and TPA6130A2 amplifiers. Networking includes dual Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit LAN controllers and a half-size MiniCard socket for wireless. The charging circuit is built around a BQ24735 IC. Additional peripherals include an RTS5209 card reader, a NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 hub controller, a Validaty VFM5131 fingerprint sensor, and an OVT 9726 camera sensor.
Technician FAQ
Q: What BIOS and EC flash configurations are used on this motherboard?
