G20bm motherboard

[Slipsen]

Hello!
im in need of some help.
i have the G20bm nr001t desktop.
it comes with a A68m-e g20bm motherboard, or G20bm_a68 according to CPU-z.
the problem is that i cant find any info anywhere on this MOBO? nothing at all att ASUS site, on the G20bm asus site, it only says it comes with a A58 mobo.
im trying to find info on supported CPU's as i would like to upgrade the FX770k, fm2+ socket. im looking at the new athlon II 880k and A10 7870k.
im also intrested in if theres any bios updates, currently running 0402 version.

And a funny thing; i just upgraded the RAM to 8gb x2 Kingston HyperX 2133mhz, and to install them i had to remove the heatsink, and when i lifted it, the CPU followed! must have been badly installed from factory since its suppose to be locked in place! haha!

THX for any info 😃

have you taken your pc apart? the cpu socket is printed near or on the socket, FM2+ FM etc....?

I see that it says A58 , I think u have an Asus Hybrid motherboard, in off the shelf PC towers they add a modified Mother borads to save costs, That's my guess u could PM Bahz @ asus maybe he can help hes the asus rep in these forums . My G30AB is a hybrid motherboard , 87 chipset
