9010 was Ivy Bridge, 9020 is Haswell, but as you know it is not as roomy as HP. I can also recommend fujitsu Esprimo e920, nice haswell machine too, with expandability options and six sata ports onboard. It is hosting ws2019 for two years now down in my lab den.
Interesting, I assumed the G1 bios would have an issue so I didn't bother trying out without disabling the 3.3v line but it sounds like it wouldn't have had an issue anyway
@@Sawickipedia Could you do me a favor and let me know the size of the screws you used to Mount the ssd? I have it taped right now but I want to mount it where its supposed to go.
I think I reused the screws that were originally holding in one of the hard drives, it isn't actually screwed into the chassis as there are little channels that it slides into. As it's constantly powered on inside my tv cabinet I would need to disconnect everything to pull it out and check
@@Sawickipedia No problem. I bought some from eBay which I'm hoping will work. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll keep an eye out on your channel for more videos!
have this model and have added a PCIe 2.5 GBe Network Card and PCIe NVME Adapter. Both work very well. My Hard Drive with the OS is a Samsung SSD 500 Gig for fast loading.
I have one of these laying around. I stuck a spare 240GB SSD and am waiting on 3 x 4GB DDR3-1600 sticks to bring the max RAM up to 16GB. I tested a Xeon e3-1271 v3 in it and works fine and intend on maybe putting a low profile GTX 1650 in as well. Any idea on how to lock the quadcore turbo as "fixed" so it always runs at the max quadcore turbo speed? I tried Intel XTU and Throttlestop but cannot seem to get it to set the CPU.
@@Sawickipedia Thanks. Yeah, don't know. These HP machines are pretty locked down. I have my main desktop running the Xeon locked at its max quadcore turbo speed (3.8GHz), but it is a consumer board with the option to run the core ratio/speed as "fixed". Not sure if having the HP just run the CPU as is would really hurt it and it is likely a machine I will sell as an entry level gaming machine anyway.
There are 4 but one is used by the optical drive so it needs to be removed. I don't remember if it runs at full speed so best to connect your slowest drive to that one
Hi there, for some reason I can't get more then 2 HDD's working on this machine. In the bios it just shows 2 drives even though I disconnected the dvd drive and plugged those cables into the 3rd hdd. In disk management i can see the 3rd disk but it's offline and won't go online. Am i missing anything into bios options to get 3 hdds working?
The bios automatically detected all 4 drives for me. Something is not right, have you tried using different power and SATA cables for the affected drive?
So after a couple of months, can you comment on power draw, idle noise&temp and whether it would be acceptable to have as always on idle pc? Thinking of running nextcloud and using as a docker host in combo with home media streaming
System has been rock solid. Currently using it as a media server, video editor, and file downloader, it handles everything without being throttled due to high temps. It lives near the main tv and I can't hear it unless it is dead quiet in the house.
I got one of those but mine only has 3 Power cables for the drives. The one for the dvd won't work as it's like half the size. What did you do to get power to the 4th drive? I have 3 1tb drives I want to use, plus the ssd that'll be boot for a truenas build. Mine is running an i7 4790 and 16 gb of ram.
Hmm, I can't remember if mine was the same and it's a bit tricky to get to at the moment. Best bet would be to use a Y splitter cable to break up a single power connector into two
@@Sawickipedia Gosh, why didn't I think of a splitter before LoL. $10 fix from amazon... thx man. Now I gotta get me a metal cutoff wheel for my angle grinder so i can hack away. Thx for the reply
Can u tell what the difference between hp G1 600 vs hp G1 800 sff and I want to use 2 hdd and dvdrom and if possible 1 add. Maybe add low gpu for hdmi port
Hi i too have the HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF. Mine has a Core i5-4570 3.20ghz + 8gb (4x2gb) Samsung ddr3 ram. Currently i have the stock 500gb hdd + a 8tb hdd (shucked from seagate backup plus hub). 1. Can i also use the stock slim dvd drive and add a 1tb sata ssd? 2.Has an extra could i add the Zotac GT710 2gb (19w tpd)? Or something a little better? I want ideally for the pc to have 1 ssd for the os and 2x 8tb hdd for data management/backup. Slim drive to rip my disc collection. As for gaming the pc by itself is strong enough to run games like Fallout 3/Fallout New Vegas at ultra high by default but the games cannot reach gameplay because of the Intel HD gpu (incompatibility). So i really just need a gpu to launch the games the PC is more than enough for them. Thanks!
You should be able to run 2 8tb HDDs, plus the SSD and the optical drive no problem. Also on the video card, pretty much anything that comes in a half height should be fine as they generally require less power than their full height counterparts
Lo siento, no he hecho esto yo mismo. Creo que la mejor manera sería cortar el enchufe de la fuente de alimentación original y conectarlo a la nueva fuente de alimentación. Pero tendrías que averiguar qué cables van a dónde ...
Does the build still hold up after a year? I got a prodesk for 50 dollars and was wondering if could handle two drives and a low profile gpu even with the 240w power supply
Yep, still going strong. It's currently got an i7 4790, GTX 1050, 3 HDDs, 1 SSD, 3 out of the 4 ram slots occupied, and a couple of USB devices attached and it hasn't missed a beat.
@@Sawickipedia So you tell me that you didn't need to upgrade the motherboard? Because some other guy said that you need to upgrade it because the bios version is too old
@@Sawickipedia Wait, so would the motherboard fit on an ATX case or will i need to make adjustments? I already have a different Thermaltake 700W (LP-700AL2NH) to substitute for it.
@@ssirsalt The motherboard should conform to the micro ATX standard size, but the power supply on the motherboard has a non standard connector so you would either need to use the original PSU or modify the thermaltake one

Glad to know this build is working so well! I have the exact same HP on the way :) planning on making similar upgrades.
How do you install the drives without showing them.
Just bought this PC and I'm going to use it as a Plex Media Server and wanted to do the same build with the Storage. Amazing, thank you!
Yeah it's perfect for Plex, and with the gtx1050 it also handles transcoding to other devices without any issues.
The internet is amazing. I was looking for a computer for almost the same reasons.

PS. Imho anything older than Haswell is waste of money on electricity unless you are looking for heating appliance 😁
I can't even get my pc out the bootsystem its a 2tb hdd seagate not sure what to do
I took out an 8tb wd from its external casing and put it on my prodesk 600 g1. I didn't modify or covered the pin and its working perfectly.

Where can i find the screws to mount the 2.5 ssd?
That's a small form factor?! I have a DOS machine with an AWE64 Gold and a modern gaming rig that, combined, are smaller than that!
There's a form factor called USFF (Ultra-Small Form Factor) that's smaller than this class of PC

I might get around to one, I've also thrown in a i7 4670 so should get some decent fps
Whats the motherboard on this? I'm wondering if I can screw it into a different case like a thermaltake super cheap one.
Probably not worth the effort. The PSU is non standard so you will not only need to fit the mb but also the PSU in the new case
