It's drawing alot of power I wish I had a way to measure it accurately. If I was to leave it the setup as it is it would probably need the 1100 watt upgraded power supply hp has for the system. Obviously not a Ryzen alternative system but more like if you had this z800 this is what you could do with it.
I used to have one of these systems as my main. With dual Xeon X5660, 176 GB DDR3, and a GTX 1080 8GB, the peak power draw I could get it up to was 600w. Idle was about 180-220w and normal gaming loads were about 300-400w. Though power consumption figures can vary greatly depending on your GPU(s), CPU(s), RAM, and drive configurations. Take an example of a low power consumption figure. The Z800 in this scenario is powered by a single E5620 Xeon, 4 GB of RAM, Quadro FX 1800, and a single HDD. Idle was 90.4w and load was 157w.
Budget builders are the best bang for your buck. I've got all the parts needed to do the first of 2 builds. Will get pics, and as much video as possible. Have a wonderful day brother Modstek.
I love mine, I've had mine since 2017 I ordered a refurbished one with dual xeon x5675s which will be getting swapped with X5987's, 48 gigs of ram and I replaced the puny Quadro 2 gig card with a GTX 1070. Also found a 1.6tb PCI SSD from 2012 for 75 bucks
I have a Z820 with dual E5-2690v2 and dual 1080ti cards. I use it as a rendering computer and used it often for FAH and for other applications - it just runs 24-7 full tilt, no problems EVER. I think I paid 1/20th of what it was worth originally.
Glad to see you upload a new video, i always look forward to what mod you are going to do next. I got into pc modding and console modding because of you, keep up the great work man!
I've have a Z820 for 5 years and love the old thing. I watched the video to see the paint job. Yours was in rough condition at the start. My case is still almost pristine so I don't need to paint it, but I love the way your 800 looks after painting. But man, you are an artist with a can of spray paint. No way I could do that, but I think I could find a local auto body shop to paint it for me.
They are great machines! I think the power supply rating might be a bit off mine was supposed to be 800watt but bogged down quite considerably. No shame in messing up a paint job I've resanded many because of runs or what not. Feels good looking back man I did that 😃 thanks for the comment
My dad gifted me one of these (used to work for Avid). The specific desktop was used to do some of the rendering for Toy Story 3 as well as edit all the 2010 mens olympic hockey footage. Instead of selling it for pennies on the dollar I’d love to upgrade it into a nice gaming PC. Wondering if it’s worth it.
❤ I have the following: HP Z400, Z600, Z620, Z800 (dual processors in the z6x0 & z800 models). These machines never stop working. Compatibility with new tech is the only issue, strong for most things but not NVME in the Z600 and Z800 (you can use clover or something like that to boot and use NVME). In reality, the real limiting issue is the SATA2 bus but there are ways around it ... and in most real world needs it isn't necessary ... a SSD drive does fine. That was a lot of work painting that unit. I like it! Yet I wouldn't do it just because I (try) to keep the covers the side. If you do an NVME adaptations please post a video. 😀
Like the work a lot, I've got the same Workstation as a second PC and it's running smoothly. The only things I'm quite bummed about are the costs per upgrade: - You wanna upgrade/substitute the PSU? That's a bummer, an OLD / refurbished PSU goes from 245 - 345$ (from 880w to 1100w) - tho if you're into soldering / PSU hacking there are cheaper alternatives by using another PSU inside the old one. - RAM, ddr3 is going back in price, if you wanna max out the available ram, well. That's pricey 35 - 40$ per slot (8 gigs) - CPU, if you wanna go for a high-end CPU (x5690) unless you buy a refurbished CPU from china (which still costs 50$ per CPU) you won't really be able to find good deals. - Motherboard, if you have faulty ram buses (i got 2 faulty buses) and you wanna consider a refurbished one, well. Expect to pay from 140$ to 200$ So.. even if you got it for free, unless you just wanna upgrade a little bit it might get kinda pricey. Last but not least, I do like a lot the cyberpunkish vibe, sadly you won't be able to see it as the aluminum panel will be covering the side (i might consider adding a custom cut plexiglass panel) with extra plastic mounts (still need to think the design tho). May I ask which components you decided to sand?
Yep, mine was/is a z400, got it for under $200 4 years back as a refurbished unit, crashed it during the big winter storm in February, rolling power cuts really jack with stuff Some great refurbished on Amazon still www.amazon.com/dp/B07NGVQLD3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_EXB5SGY87NBE0N5Z4C02?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Not affiliated, no money involved for me, but great deal, add in a 1060 and ready to go
I have a dual 8 pin RTX 3090 that I'm trying to install but it's not working with the 6pin adapters. Computer is beeping and flashing red on the power button at startup. How did you install the Sata adapters?
Can you control all the fans with that controller? Or just the new RGB ones? Mine is a bit noisy. Can control the CPU fans in Speedfan, but not the other ones.
Dude I'm getting this, this week and looking forward to it, ( Dual processors Intel Xeon X5677 @ 3.47GHz - RAM 48GB, Videocard NVIDIA QUADRO FX 3800 @ 1GB) getting the 1000 some odd what PSU too, QUESTION... what GPU upgrade would be best at this moment in time, kinda budget?
Thanks another amazing PC job :-) you can use WD-40 on fan bearings to give them a second life just run them full speed out of the PC to get rid of excess WD-40 once done it's safe to use them again.... I started playing Building PC simulator as i like fixing PC's so much
Not under normal use - only when the processors are running at near full speed. I have the following: HP Z400, Z600, Z620, Z800 (dual processors in the z6x0 & z800 models) - None are noisy unless you start to push them ... and that is mostly air flow noise (with fan of course) ... at least we know they stay cool and work nearly forever. :)
I would experiment by removing any baffles in the interior, the baffles made sense earlier but now they seem to be interfering and causing noise issues
Hey can you point me in the fire tion for where to grab this graphics card or one that would work well with the 850 watt power supply? I'm new to modding but just need an upgrade to what I got in my z800 thanks
I have a Z800 with two Xeon X5650. I want to change one of the cpus with a Core i9-12900KF and change the second with another Core i9-12900KF next month. Is this going to create problems for me in the build? is there any compatibility issues hardware or software? thank you
Am getting z800 with dual x5660 with k2000 graphics and 32gb ram for cheap. Is it a good buy for gaming and other stuff as of 2021? I don't plan to upgrade cpu tho, i hope they will be fine as of now.
How difficult is it to sell computers that are custom painted like this vs the normal office colors? Like does it make it easier to sell? I wanna know because I'm struggling to sell a decent gaming pc that doesn't have much in the looks department and I can't just case swap it.
You're slackin buddy. No on-screen scrubby dubby or side panel mods? By the way, normally I get notifications when you upload. Not this time. Kinda dig what you do with old pc's. Now if gpu prices could come back down to earth, with a reasonable availability, the Modstek world would be a happier place. For the record, I got an HP Pavillion 500-336 for free last summer. Came with an i3-4130. Hp was nice and specifically listed all the cpu's that will work in this system. I'm eye-ballin an i7-4790...do you think the stock cooler would be sufficient from i3 to i7? It's an 84w processor. I keep looking at the gtx 1650 low profile card for this system but if you find one for sale, yeah, it's a little overpriced so I'll wait a bit longer. I know a psu upgrade would be a good idea because stock is 250/300w.
Can you try turning hyperthreading off since most of the games don't utilize 24 different tasks at the same time and 12 threads all real cores might increase the performance
Hi sir , i have an HP z800 workstation with 2 xeon w5580 3.4ghz processor and i have 16gb ram and right now I have an Nvidia Quadro k2000 graphics card in this workstation,... Now I want to go for a GTX 1650 super 4gb gddr6 ? Please help me and it's okay for me - if it makes a bottleneck because I will use the graphics card on another PC in future but right now is it possible to play with this new card with at least 720p 60fps? In my HP Z800 workstation? Please help sir , I'm searching for it everywhere for a budget friendly gaming solution , because right now i only can afford a graphics card but not for a new Custom PC 🙏🏻❤️Pls Help❤️🙏🏻
I am very inspired by your videos and tried to emulate you. However, my HP 8200 elite (tower) does not want to download Windows 10. Is a Bios update enough? Or do I have to download an old version of Windows?
Turn off security features like data execution prevention and system security it should work. If all else fails use a hard drive with windows 10 already installed. I do that alot.
Here in the uk one of those is between 500 and 700 pounds which is probably somewhere between 650 and 1000 dollars and that’s without a gpu and the current state of the market surrounding Gpus is atrocious it just makes PC gaming not even a viable option any more, not when you can get a ps5 for 400 pounds or 550 dollars, there isn’t a chance you could build a pc that will rival the ps5 for anywhere close to that price, in fact I challenge you to do a video on it, don’t get me wrong I’m a pc gamer myself but for the time being until the market sorts itself out console is the way to go
Nice machine, but I guess what you saved on price compared to modern hardware (except for the graphics card, maybe), you'll pay back in energy consumption.
I have this old bastard with 12gb DDR3 ram and some cheap 2gb Radeon gpu. GTA 5 max settings 1080p +50fps. Great PC for older games like GTA 4, Skyrim, battlefield 4, The Witcher 2. I can just add more ram, find better GPU and it could run cyberpunk 2077 but I'll probably buy Xbox series X for new games instead.
But it's a cool card. Collectible I'm told and a supposedly a beast overclocker. Someday I might have a flagship card with a semi current date I hope but for now I'm having fun with what I got.
How much watt it draws during the tests and running a built in game test?
It's drawing alot of power I wish I had a way to measure it accurately. If I was to leave it the setup as it is it would probably need the 1100 watt upgraded power supply hp has for the system. Obviously not a Ryzen alternative system but more like if you had this z800 this is what you could do with it.
@@modstek Watt-o-Meter and alike.
300-350 with a 75w GPU.
I used to have one of these systems as my main. With dual Xeon X5660, 176 GB DDR3, and a GTX 1080 8GB, the peak power draw I could get it up to was 600w. Idle was about 180-220w and normal gaming loads were about 300-400w. Though power consumption figures can vary greatly depending on your GPU(s), CPU(s), RAM, and drive configurations.
Take an example of a low power consumption figure. The Z800 in this scenario is powered by a single E5620 Xeon, 4 GB of RAM, Quadro FX 1800, and a single HDD. Idle was 90.4w and load was 157w.
Got a z400 with 24 gig ram. With a 1060. Not hitting 75% cpu with 1080p high res and 120hz. Great inspiration from your vids!
Lol
That column of CPUs in Afterburner is worth the price of admission. Epic.
How does this man not have over 100k subscribers. Inspirational stuff as always! Love this build-great work.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
My god I love this so much I want to start building old office PC'S into high end gaming PC'S.

Someone else that knows the magic of power cycling. Fixes so many 'faulty' computers after a few boots.
Custom clear acrylic side panel would rock on that
Kick-Ass as always man keep up the great work
This is pretty awesome. I'd love to see comparing benchmarks, before and after. Love the channel
I like this channel,you always make some cool looking computers that are good for gaming.
Nice work! Another sharp looking restoration/case mod!
Awesome work. We could build anything here like that here in Turkey to expensive. AWESOME.
I think that's one of the best bang for the buck PCs I've seen.
you should get some brushed aluminum vinyl to cover those side panels, mnpctech even has machine turned ones, that would look dope
what a beast! kill all dust bunny! awesome hardware/paint upgrade!

I have a similar PC. HP Proliant ML350 G& in use with Games and Editing.
We have the same machine, I have no idea where to start
these are also the computers that made the dreamworks movie monsters vs aliens
Why are the side panels always beat to absolute hell like that
