- Taking a look at the oddball EliteDesk 705 G3 Mini. Took a barebones unit all the way to running Windows and updating the TPM to 2.0,

I have looked at the earlier AMD offerings and, as I think you have found, felt that apart from initial cost they had no significant benefits over the similar Intel variants and didn't have the same grunt for the power consumption - disadvantages outweigh the advantages really. I have recently got my hands on a 805 G6 with a Ryzen 5 pro 4650GE in it and, for the price I paid, that promises to give more advantages over a similarly priced Intel box ... but that's to be tested.
Let me know how that works out. I grabbed that G3 because I was intrigued with how odd it was and I figured a cheap way to check out an AMD unit.
I have a 705 G4 with a 2400ge, I got it off ebay and it came with the RX 560 gpu installed, I don't think they knew what they had but I'm a happy camper. about to upgrade to a G5 with a 3400g since I found it "cheap", so why not. (should be able to swap over the gpu and I gain an extra nvme slot)
Now that's the kind of eBay purchase I'd like to have. Do you use the GPU for anything?
@@handmedowntech I use the system as a bedside computer on my nightstand lol. it's a nice to have for the occasional gaming, minecraft, palworld, dreamligth valley. but mostly I just watch youtube.
Perfect!
Interesting. The CPU has been swapped out. As the 705 G3s have 9 series CPUs officially listed. Top CPU is the AMD PRO A12-9800E with AMD Radeon R7 graphics. You will need a 6th Gen is you want to try a Ryzen. The G3 does not support them.
a shame they (seemingly) lock it down to certain cpu's in software, my G4 should be a normal b350 chipset so slapping a 5600(g) in it would be amazing.
I doublechecked o HP Partsurfer and product number 1GG27US comes with an A6 but my specific serial number did come with a PRO A10-8770E (8th gen??)
Thanx for the video. Wht do these organizations junk these units?? I thought because of win 11 but I see your one was running it.
Lots of companies don't want to keep things past a couple of years - most of these come with 3 year warranties. I've used Windows 11 (and received updates) and G1 to G4 - with my main machine being a G3
@@handmedowntech Thanx. The last company I worked for kept their stuff until it died.. Same here with win 11 on non supported gear.
Inside I have one memory plate 8GB DDR4 2133 all ok .
I would like to replace it with another memory with a different frequency, for example 2400MHz ,2666MHz ,3200MHz.
pc will work better or not?
Couple things. How fast the memory can operate is based on the CPU so if the CPU can only handle 2133 then a 3200 is not worth it. For the best performance I'd just get a second 8gb stick so you have 16gb of dual channel memory.
I just bought one with a 500gb hdd and an 8gb ram, just for some lightweight gaming
Does yours run hot? That was one thing I found with mine.
@@handmedowntech no I don't think it does
Oh good. What type of AMD processor did it come with?
@@handmedowntech an amd a6 8750e
test power consumption on amd version please
Got about 1.3w at power off and sleep. After logging into windows it was at 38w and on heavy load, 100% it averaged in the 50w range with spikes up to 61.
@@handmedowntech It's also high, I've never used the amd version before
Which is your main HP mini PC you use?
I use an HP EliteDesk G3 Mini with an i5-7500T, 32GB of Ram and 512GB SATA drive. The top cover is vented and comes from a 65W unit as well as the copper heatsink
@@handmedowntech Basically you have a G3 65W, which OS you're running in it?
You can put and NVMe in it and a regular i5 7500
Win 11 pro. I've come to like the SATA SSDs because I can move them from unit to unit pretty easily. This same drive was in my G2 65W.
@@handmedowntech You have a 65W unit so why you didn't put an i5 7500?
I have a 35w unit and changed out some parts from a 65w unit to get better airflow and cooling. I talk about it in a video comparing the two kinds of heatsinks.
dude use a paintbrush 10:49
That was suggested before - hard to break my routine :)
