I got the more harder to upgrade HP Prodesk 400 G4 SFF. Bought it super cheap since my company do tech refresh. Stock specs: Intel Core i5 7500 4GB DDR4 2400 RAM 500gb HDD.

I have a G3 elitedesk with i5-7500. It's pretty decent though and i got it extra cheap too. My upgrade was: -Samsung 990pro 1TB Nvme (boots in 5 sec) -Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB RAM (useless but cool) -Nvidia GTX 1650 4GB low profile (but i had to saw the HDD holder to let it in) The system works just fine and play games quite good, the cpu is always cool with genuine fan (around 60/70°C under pressure), totally a good machine. The major weakness is the cpu, i would upgrade with 7700. Would be better 7700k but it's not cheap and need a cooling and PSU upgrade as well.
I think that HP’s decision to position the M.2 slot facing outward is indeed unique. Maybe It serves the purpose of preventing users from changing or swapping cases easily. Additionally, this design accounts for potential obstructions caused by case walls or the lack of proper standoffs. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Brother but can i use other PSUs that aren't strictly made by HP for this PC, can't I just buy a good local PSU and install it on my pc? I got the elitedesk 800 g4 twr btw
I've considered doing a project like this.I do have some questions.Is there a way to power another fan?I would like to install a drive bay fan in the front to bring in cool air.Also,did the install of the video card require you to mod the drive cages in any way?Great video.
The HP EliteDesk 800 G3 uses a PWM fan header for both the CPU fan and case fan. If you’d like to install one or two additional fans, please consider using a PWM fan splitter cable and connecting it to the case fan header or CPU fan header. If you plan to add many fans, I recommend using a PWM fan hub that utilizes a SATA or Molex power cable. This way, the fan hub can supply enough power for multiple fans. Thank you!
Hi, Im going to upgrade a Prodesk 600 G5 MT PSU, however since I do not have the pc with me yet, i cant pry open and check the P2 cable before purchasing the upgrade. Hence Im unsure whether it uses the 3 or 7 wire variant. Appreciate your advice on this.
Installing an RTX 3070 Ti on a 230W PSU (power supply unit) isn’t recommended. Even the standard RTX 3070 Ti alone consumes around 290W. So, if you’re eyeing that beefy graphics card, consider upgrading your PSU to handle the extra power demands. Safety first, right?
The CPU cooler’s screws are designed to fit its CPU mounting backplate that comes with the cooler. However, the screws included in the CPU cooler box don’t always perfectly match the mounting holes on the OEM PC case. The compatibility depends on the specific cooler you’ve selected.
No, you cannot use any PSU other than the one from HP. As you can see, the PSU is completely different. It has a different size, screw holes, and cable connectors.
I perused the HP forum at this link: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Wanting-to-upgrade-a-ProDesk-600-G3-MT/td-p/8625562/page/2 . There, a user had uploaded pictures of the HP ProDesk 600 G3 power supply and motherboard. Interestingly, it appeared to be the same PSU (power supply unit) that I used in my video. However, since I haven’t personally laid hands on the HP ProDesk 600 G3, I cannot definitively confirm whether the PSU model I featured in my video would work seamlessly with your specific HP ProDesk 600 G3. Thank you for your understanding.
@@itggearwhat happened if I put this psu with the P2 connector 3 cable into my prodesk p2 7 cable? Is only an advice or the psu fun will not work properly? Thank you
If you connect a 3-wire PSU to the originally 7-wire P2 cable, you might encounter a BIOS error message indicating that the PSU fan is either not detected or defective. Despite this, rest assured-the PC will continue running normally. Thank you.

In fact, OEM power supplies on Amazon can be quite expensive, but we can find more affordable PSUs on Alibaba or Taobao. There is a link for a PSU on Amazon: amzn.to/4cNslTt.
I’ve also updated the link to the item I used in this video in the video description. If you’d like to search for the HP 500W PSU mentioned in this video on any other store, such as eBay or AliExpress, use the keyword: DPS-500AB-32A. Thank you!
Absolutely! The system, with an i7-7700K and an RTX 2070, should handle 1080p gaming and streaming quite well. The i7-7700K is a capable CPU, and the RTX 2070 provides excellent graphics performance. Just make sure the PC have enough RAM (16GB or more) and a stable internet connection for smooth streaming. Happy gaming!
Swapping out the HP ProDesk case is such an interesting idea. However, I find it a bit challenging because there’s currently no 24-pin cable adapter that works seamlessly with HP ProDesk motherboards. Additionally, the I/O shield is non-removable. So, if we decide to proceed with the case swap, we’ll need to stick with the original power supply and get creative by crafting our own motherboard I/O shield.
Yes, P1 and P2 are labels for each cable to avoid misplugging them into the motherboard sockets. For example, P1 corresponds to the 4-pin motherboard cable, and P3 corresponds to the 4-pin CPU cable.

If you’re considering upgrading to an Intel Core i7 7th generation CPU, here’s the scoop: The i7-7700K is an unlocked processor with a 91W TDP (thermal design power), which means it requires a larger CPU cooler and more space. However, if you’d like a smoother transition without changing your existing cooler, I recommend opting for the Intel Core i7-7700 (the non-K edition). This CPU has a lower TDP of 65W and should work seamlessly with your current cooler. Thanks for tuning in!

I think that the RTX 4060 (128-bit, 115W) is more efficient than the RTX 2060 (192-bit, 160W). So, if your system runs well with the RTX 2060, it should perform even better with the RTX 4060. Thank you

The HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Tower works with Intel Core 6th gen and 7th gen processors, but it won’t work with Intel Core i9 9th gen processors. If you would like to install an Intel Core i9-9900K, you need the HP EliteDesk 800 G5 series. Thank you.

If you choose a consumer motherboard, the Intel 300 series such as H310, B360, H370, Z370, B365, and Z390 motherboards should work fine with your CPU. However, if you buy a prebuilt PC from brands like Dell, HP, or Lenovo that supports your i5-8400, it won’t work with a 9th gen Intel Core i9-9900K. Thank you.
@@Koldex-vt8il The CPU support depends on the motherboard you are using. Until I know which motherboard you have, I cannot confirm which CPU will be compatible. Generally, pre-built PCs that support 9th-gen Intel CPUs also support 8th-gen Intel CPUs. However, a PC designed for 8th-gen Intel CPUs may not support 9th-gen Intel CPUs.
Currently, I don’t have an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 to test the CPU cooling solution. However, since you have one, you can try the following steps: Remove the CPU cooler heatsink and then experiment with the Intel screws. If they don’t fit, try the AMD screws to determine which one works best for your setup
If your PC supports the Intel Core i5-7500, it should also support the Intel Core i7-7700K. However, since your PC has only a 180W PSU, I recommend choosing the Intel Core i7-7700. It’s a powerful CPU in its product line, and it has a 26W lower TDP than the K version (65W vs. 91W). This way, your PC won’t stress out the PSU too much. Thank you!

I got the more harder to upgrade HP Prodesk 400 G4 SFF. Bought it super cheap since my company do tech refresh.
Stock specs:
Intel Core i5 7500
4GB DDR4 2400 RAM
500gb HDD.
So with SFF body,there's not much I can do. Here is the upgrade so far and don't judge me,i use this component as upgrade because this the only thing I could find in Malaysia.
Upgraded stuff:
2.5 480gb Kingston SSD
1TB Toshiba 7200rpm HDD
Nvidia GTX 1050Ti
16GB 2400 RAM (8gb x 2 )
Future upgrade:
Maybe fit aftermarket cpu cooler
Add intake and exhaust fan
Upgrade cpu to i7 7700
But to be honest this is really hard to upgrade.
I do what i could and if you guys interested,give some likes and i will do video about the upgrades. This machine for casual gaming on my living room. Nothing serious to play AAA title. Enough for me to play forza horizon 5 and some fifa. I tried battlefield 5 and they run super great
I have a G3 elitedesk with i5-7500. It's pretty decent though and i got it extra cheap too.
My upgrade was:
-Samsung 990pro 1TB Nvme (boots in 5 sec)
-Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB RAM (useless but cool)
-Nvidia GTX 1650 4GB low profile (but i had to saw the HDD holder to let it in)
The system works just fine and play games quite good, the cpu is always cool with genuine fan (around 60/70°C under pressure), totally a good machine.
The major weakness is the cpu, i would upgrade with 7700. Would be better 7700k but it's not cheap and need a cooling and PSU upgrade as well.

Not going to lie, that nvme placement on the board is the jankiest stuff i have seen coming from a manufacturer as of late.
