I still have my 5850, an ssd, quad core phenom 2 and 8gb ram are cheap upgrades that make a great pc. I've a 1050 ti in mine and it can play anything thrown at it in high settings. They're small, quiet and easy to take apart. Hack out the front fan shroud behind the front panel, tape over the cpu air flow tunnel (there's a small hole, you'll see what I mean) and remove the rear pci slot covers for better airflow. If you find a good low profile cpu cooler that fits let me know :) This pc will last you forever :)
I got a Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB 128Bit GDDR5 for a hp compaq dc5800 with a core 2 quad q6600 that can be overclocked by a gain of 24% by covering one or two pins. What do you think too ambitious for this rig? I looked it up and it said this was probably max with the cpu and power supply which is a 250 watt. I also popped in 8 gb over 4 sticks hyper x ram. Crossing my fingers it boots and works decent. I also downgraded to win 7 as the nvidia card I have in it now didn't work with 8.1
i have the microtower variant but the interns are the same. i had the same problem with the cpu, but ince i updated the bios it was fine. so it's very much possible to upgrade.
Hello, i got a question, ive got the exact same pc, with the only difference being an hd 7470 as gpu and 8gb of RAM, the current cpu is a Phemon X3 8600b, and i was wondering if i could change it to a Phenom II 1035t, is it possible?
Hi dudes. Does anyone have experience with fitting MSI GT710 in this machine? On the internet, half of the people I've seen on forums are saying that 710 won't work because DC5850 is legacy BIOS only, while GT710 is UEFI only. Thanks.
Hi, did you still use the original power supply unit? I think mine's showing some strange problem, the fan of the PSU recently runs at full speed for unknown reason, I don't think there's anything overheated, but when this occurs, it means the system is about to crash. Any way to fix this PSU other than replacing one? My DC5850 still runs original AthlonX2 5000B CPU, I only change the display card to GT1030, and add a Audigy FX soundcard, I only one hard drive installed, rest components are original, I think.
hey there, do you happen to have the original CD recovery that came with the computer? i got the same model and i have lost the disc, maybe you can create an ISO image of the disc and upload it to google drive thanks
I have this motherboard with intel 2 duo with gtx 720 with 4g ram... This build is great for playing mobile game using x86 android os likes prime os and phoenix os... Well not too shabby its cool for my younger brother enjoying play pubg mobile... Hahhahaha nice review btw
i have this pc but mine is a AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor 3.20 GHz but it gets really hot, CPU temp is 65c when in use for example running youtube vids in 1080p it does sometimes reach 70c and its not exactly dusty or clogged up because i clean it once per month so is there any chance that i can change the fan settings to higher fan speed or not to make it cooler? i need to buy a new pc really but a gaming one.
If you are talking about overclocking your CPU, I doubt you can do it in this system. I played around with the BIOS on mine, and saw no overclocking options. For the Graphics Card, I would have to say a GT1030 or GTX1050

hi guys, i tried to put a gtx 1060 3Gb with a hp dc 5800, black screen. Is it necessary to manipulate the bios or they are simply not compatible?

Unfortunately I do not have the disc. You may be able to find it on HPs website.
If you're interested I have an AMD Phenom II 840 3.2GHz Quad Core for free you can put in your HP.
That would be awesome :D

3:50 This machine doesn't adjust the fan speed according to its temperature? You need to manually do it?
I think it ramps up the fanspeed when the CPU gets too hot, but I have not tested it on this machine.
It would be very weird if it doesn't ramp up automatically the fan speed.
My best guess is that this BIOS setting is just for fan speed in idle mode.
