This board supports Intel 6th and 7th gen CPUs out of the box (no BIOS update needed for Kaby Lake on most revisions).
| Best Upgrade by TDP | Notes | | :--- | :--- | | Core i7-7700 (65W) | Max safe upgrade – 4C/8T, HD Graphics 630 | | Core i7-6700 (65W) | Fully compatible, slightly slower than 7700 | | Core i5-7500/7600 (65W) | Best value for gaming/office | | Avoid | Any K-series (e.g., 7700K – board VRMs cannot handle >91W sustained load) |
Inside BIOS, press Ctrl+S or Ctrl+F1 to reveal advanced menus (e.g., XMP, VT-d, Above 4G Decoding). Acer hides these by default.

If you own a pre-built Acer desktop (Aspire TC series, Veriton X series), your motherboard is likely the H11H4-AD. This is an Intel H110 chipset board (LGA1151 socket). Because Acer doesn't publish a public-facing manual, this guide acts as your technical reference.
This is the most common reason users search for a manual for this board. If you are transplanting the motherboard into a new case or fixing a loose wire, the power switch pins are critical.
The Front Panel Header (often labeled JFP1 or simply J1) is located on the bottom-right edge of the board. The pinout is standard for Acer boards of this era.
Pinout Configuration (Top Row vs. Bottom Row):
Tip: The text on the motherboard is often tiny. Use a flashlight or your phone's camera zoom to locate the positive (+) marking for the LEDs to ensure you plug them in the right direction. Power switches are non-polar, so orientation doesn't matter for the switch itself.
Note: Acer often uses proprietary pinouts – especially for the front panel. Do not assume standard PC cases work without adapter cables.
SATA Ports
M.2 Slot (Key M – labeled M2_SSD)
USB 3.0 Header (20-pin) – standard location near 24-pin power.
4-pin Fan Headers
When unpacking your Acer H11H4-AD motherboard, make sure to handle it with care. Inspect the motherboard for any damage or defects. The package should include:
