Hi - I'm assuming this is probably your post? www.reddit.com/r/pikvm/comments/18hfzlh/hp_g1_mini_and_pikvm/ Would be neat to do but messing with the power connector might not be worth it.
I’ve got a laptop that uses m.2 SATA that are identical in appearance to the NVMe drives. I could not for the life of me figure it out, it’s a 7th gen Intel CPU even. After reading the manual it only accepts the SATA drives. It is an Acer laptop so that may be why.
I installed a new NVme drive, formatted. I cloned Windows 10 to the NVMe, but it does NOT boot up. I can only use this drive as a data drive. Do you know how I can make this boot up? I know its NOT a cloning issue, I have cloned dozens of times. I think it’s a Bios boot up issue. In Bios, the NVme does not even show, but it does show up in partitions.
Just a tip, you dont need to spread the thermal paste, just use a pea sized amount in the middle of the cpu and then replace the cooler. The pressure of the cooler will spread it out for you.
I really don't think it's necessary to do a cross pattern when putting in a fan as it does not have any thermal paste. The reason why you should do a cross pattern when replacing a heatsink is to distribute the thermal paste evenly on the die head of the CPU, but that's not really critical. You shouldn't put more than a pea sized portion of thermal paste on the CPU because it will make a mess by spreading all over the processor and socket and you waste so much more than you really need. The G1 has a design flaw. The fan is positioned in back of the heatsink which means the fan has to suck the heat away from the CPU rather than blow it through!
Yeah - me and thermal paste don't get along too well - still trying to get a handle on how much to put down. I look at other folks and some do the "frost the cake" and some just do a couple dots. Which have you found to be the better one?
That was enough thermal paste for about 4 CPUs. 😆
Would have been more but I got some on my hands. 😉
you can use intel xeon low power on it like e3 1265L v3 or 1275L v3. Is a blast this PC running Windows server 2022 on it and it performs really great
That might be an idea for a future video. Thanks!
Hello, do you know if this computer has the ATX control pins available so I can install piKVM? Thank you.

I'm assuming the SATA has two notches vs the traditional single notch for the NVME?
@@handmedowntech not always, they both can have the single notch. I thought the SATA only had 2 notches as well.
So some SATA are single notched?
@@handmedowntech yep and to make it even more confusing some of the SATA slots only work for SATA and won’t work with NVMe.

Want to confirm that this is a G1?
Thank you for your kind reply. Yes its is a G1.
I think I have a solution that works in my testing. Putting together a video showing the steps.
Latest video shows how to boot from NVME. Thank you for the idea.
I need u help, what wireless card.. can use for this model ho elitedessk 800 g1
You can checkout the video I did on upgrading the G1 wifi. I used one from a G2. See if that helps
boot up only from 2.5" connector, not from m.2 SATA
That's pretty much my standard way of booting all my units now. The two G1 units I have running 247 are running solely off of 2.5 inch SATA.

Thx. Just waiting to see the next time I need thermal paste so I can redeem myself 😀
@@handmedowntech No drama, I also learnt the hard way.

I have a new 8500T coming for my new G4 so I'm hoping to be a bit more conservative with the paste 😄
This pc takes nvme i have one in mine.
Do you boot from it?
@@handmedowntech before I used unraid yah I just used cloverboot
why when he opened the mini pc up i smelt dust😂😂
Like Indiana Jones opening up a tomb to find the hidden treasure
@@handmedowntech 😂😂
J pas pc chez moi
Avec quelque chose d'aussi bon marché, vous pourriez en avoir un.
to much cpu paste
wtf........

pea size would do
