Ms7860 Ver 12 Motherboard Specs

Engineered around Intel’s 4th Generation "Shark Bay" architecture, this board balances commercial-grade stability with reliable office performance. Below is a deep dive into the official specifications, architectural layout, and upgrade pathways for this platform. Core Technical Specifications Specification Details MSI (OEM for HP) Model / Version MS-7860 Ver:1.2 HP Part Numbers (Sparing) 718772-001, 718775-001, 718775-002, 780323-001 Form Factor Micro-ATX (uATX) compact (244 mm x 244 mm) Chipset Intel H81 / H87 (Intel Lynx Point) CPU Socket Intel LGA 1150 Memory Support DDR3 / DDR3L SDRAM (Dual-Channel) Max RAM Capacity

The MS7860 VER:12 is a reliable, industrial micro-ATX board. It is not fast, pretty, or flexible. But if you have one in a dusty HP tower, treat it as a solid foundation for a Linux server, a child's study PC, or a classic emulation station.

Earlier revisions (VER:6) used a 4-pin ATX 12V for CPU. VER:12 sometimes uses a smaller 2-pin + 4-pin combo—check your PSU plug before swapping boards. ms7860 ver 12 motherboard specs

The board is built on the Intel chipset. Unlike the higher-end Z68 or Z77 chipsets, the H61 is a value chipset, meaning it lacks native overclocking features and RAID support.
