Wow what a transformation. I'm currently running a RX 6600 with a Ryzen 5 5500(undervolted) and it really is decent value especially in esports titles. Greetings from South Africa
@@brokeandtired just get a 5700X3D as it's virtually the same as 5800X3D only a 100mhz lower clock. Stock is also better because amd can produce it in large scale while 5800X3D is an early bird cpu which made supply an issue
i love this kinda thing - taking a system and really upgrading it - anything from a Ryzen system like this down to something really old from the early 90s and just shoving a truckload of RAM, SSDs, better CPU and GPU at them and seeing the system go from a snail to er... a very fast snail.
Gave it a totally new life. If it wasn't for stumbling onto the PSU like I did it would have totally different. I linked to the PSU in the description if you ever need one, has been great so far even if a little expensive.
There are actually a lot of power supplies you can use. I have that same 400 watt power supply in an HP Z2 G4 SFF system. They used a lot of the same power supply pinouts on most of their systems. There's that 180 watt, a 250, 310, the 400, and a 550 watt. There might even be others. And that RX 6600 is a 110 to 120 watt GPU. The 400 watt has WAY more than enough power for an RX 6600, so the stuttering in Stray and AW2 was not because of the power supply. Also, you can swap the cooler with zero modifications to the case. Something like the Thermalright Silver Soul 110 would likely fit perfectly... without the HDD cage and can bolt right up to the stock mounting points for very little money. If you want to keep the HDD mounting, the ID Cooling IS-55 is an excellent choice. Even most of Noctua's coolers would work. At worst you might have to supply some screws or drill out the mounting holes on the Intel brackets and use the AMD mounting screws, as this clearly uses Intel 115x mounting and HP tends to like to use 6-32 for the mounting screws, which is what AMD uses. Regardless, it is much simpler to add a cooler to one of these than you think. Anyhow, what a cool little sleeper build. It's a shame you can't toss a 5700X3D in these.
Finding the right PSU's is the issue really. It's hit and miss with listings and many have picked up ones that look perfect but turn out to have different wiring configurations so I played it safe.
Great video, I love seeing these guides of how to really soup up a cheap little PC! I wonder if a newer BIOS exists that it could be flashed to this? probably playing with fire there though. Really cool to see the PSU solution as well, shame those are so expensive. I am wondering if there's enough demand to hardware hack some sort of solution for these and similar machines, it seems to me that the proprietary-ness of them might be able to be overcome but who knows. I guess even if this was worked out the problem of weird connectors would still exist, I'm pretty sure HP and Dell have used a variety of nonsense over recent years as well. Out of curiosity, is the motherboard power just 12V? it seems quite similar to some modern server PSU setups where there's just 12V and everything else happens on the motherboard. I'm also guessing that the 400W HP PSU was used in some of their higher end workstations?
Unfortunately I can't find any newer bios's than the one it's using which supports up to that 2700. Many people have told me they run GTX 1050Ti's from the 180w PSU fine so that might be an option or there does seem to be quite a few of the 310w PSUs about so that's another one if they can be found cheap enough.
Thanks :) Currently looking for an old Dell or something to playa round with and upgrade as people have asked from this video. Will see what I can find.
Well done. I think you did a great job with this one and the upgrades even though they were not very cheap, they are still reasonable. And this from someone who can't afford a new mouse. Nice.
If they use the same mounting as HP, it uses standard Intel skt 115x despite being AM4. Again, if it is like HP you just need between M2 16mm-20mm screws to mount the cooler to the backplate. On the HP with the ERICA mainboard I used a Noctua U12S. Could not close the side panel, but it was just for proof of concept. Worked perfectly other than being too tall. Great to see the Patriot ram worked well. On the HP it only liked one Geil kit of 3000MT/s with Samsung chips, out of the 4 kits I tried. Everything else gave audio error codes for bad ram.
I'm sure with Thermalright there are a couple of affordable options that will work in that case for CPU coolers. Maybe some thin 92-120s on the front of the case without the drive and it's bracket. Could be awesome sleeper build. Kinda reminds me of my situation with the ThinkCentre M910t. I bought a Thermalright Assassin X 90 SE for 17 bucks and it dropped temps by 10 degrees in demanding games, also it has a 65 dollar proprietary PSU I'm going back and forth about getting lol. Almost seems stupid when I could just build a whole new PSU for that price for another PC Lol, but it would be a fun project like this. Great video.
I think that has to be the tightest fit of a GPU in a case I've ever seen. I seriously thought the video was over before that point. Nice upgrades to a prebuilt that at first glance didn't have much potential. Way better performance tho in the end. Thanks for sharing. :)
Just came here as just bought one of these off eBay for £47.50, arrived thursday this week! I've already upgraded the GPU to nVidia GTX 1650 OC by ASUS, going to toss in another 8gb DDR4 to bring up to 16gb. came with the 128gb Sandisk Ultra SSD... so going to grab a 1tb Samsung EVO 850. About to check your video so hyped there is already a video on upgrades on this wonderful pc! Mine came with the Ryzen 3 2200G hoping to see what my options for CPU upgrade are here, but so far running Space Marine 2 nicely so very pleased! :D
This is a really fun little build. Ive got a spare b450 tomahawk (non-MAX version sadly) and a 1700x that ive been thinking about turning into a cheap pc. I may end up selling it as i want to build a budget small pc as a entertainment unit.
Its great that your giving this a new lease of life, but the cost of that stuff does not make it worth it. Total cost £523.92 If you could get PSU cheap and get some used parts might be worth it.
GREAT VIDEO, i love doing stuff like this as a hobby, I've subscribed hit like button and will recommend your stuff to my friends , keep up these type of videos my friend
Holyshit that was fast! Glad to see that pc psu is replaceable (despite it's hard to find one that can fit) , and I'm sorry to see that upgrade isn't as cost efficient as old optiplex upgrade that I seen. Now i understand why people said "those kind of pc were never meant for upgrade". It's not impossible to gives it a second life, it just might not worth the cost and effort
Yeah, the cost can be silly and mostly down to that PSU. I am pretty sure people could get all the rest for cheaper on the pre-owned market or if they shop around.
Will give them a bit of thinking, might need to mod the case a bit to allow for mounting positions and additional ventilation for airflow. Thanks for watching :)
@@zeroturn7091 yeah. very unfortunate. In my eyes one of the great appeals of the AM4 platform is the fact that you physically can slap the big boi 5800X3D in there. the software side of things might be different. Guess HP just wants you to buy a new system...
Good find on the 400w proprietary PSU for that system and nice pairing on the CPU and GPU. Is that RAM stable at 3600 with the R7 2700 or did you have to drop it a bit maybe?
Yeah, PSU saved it :D Ram wasn't running at full speed more down to the motherboard support tbh, they really do lock these down and give you barely anything to play around with, in fact the bios it self looks like it was made in the 90's lol. I will get a SS next time it's on for Discord to show you.
So far they are "ok", not great but manageable as long as you aren't pushing the system to hard. It could definitely do with an intake fan or maybe an upgraded exhaust fan in the rear but the CPU cooler seems to be holding on quite well.
@@TechLabUK The issue is that because of the tiny gap between the GPU and the lid, the hot air produced by the GPU fans can't go anywhere near the exhaust fan. The PSU can't help much, because they have very low rpm fans. So after a couple of hours of gaming everything inside the case will boil, GPU mostly. The solution could be to either perforate the lid or use a lower power ITX style GPU with a single fan, like 1050ti. I'd also check the nvme temps, because where it is placed, whatever airflow from the exhaust fan it has, is blocked by the huge sticks of memory. I have an older HP g200 minitower and I played with the idea of throwing a gpu in it, since it doesn't have any weird power connections or sensors on the motherboard and you can put any PSU in it. But because it is BTX, available space is even less than yours, so I gave up and I use it as a media PC, because it is so quiet.
@@petros1815 Luckily with the card we have installed all of the air flow is pushed towards the rear of the card through the IO shield / Vent and through the front where there is a decent gap for it to flow upwards into the rest of the case. We were quite fortunate with this one which is why I think it's holding on. The air pumping out the back is quite warm though lol
@@Seven-fd4wf Sorry I thought this was another video lol. This is a Ryzen based system so depends on the CPU. The Ryzen 7 2700 we used in it has a base clock of 3.2GHz and a boost clock of 4.1GHz
Interesting choice of ram. On such a platform which would have a better effect? A larger amount of ram at slower speed or smaller ram at faster rates? Seeing that it's only one stick. A pity these proprietary boards and power supplies are not easily compatible with off the shelf parts
In this system due to the board the ram is quite limited in speed anyway so we just overfilled it in terms of capacity. The new ram would be much faster anyway compared to the original one stick just because it's now running in Dual Channel anyway.
That's weird. I assume it was a compatible PSU with the proprietary connections as it's working so weird it wont fit, unless they did PSUs that worked with this motherboard but were different sizes.
@@TechLabUK actually I was unable to find out power suply for that form factor....the ones of hp was only in second or third hand market which I wasn't at all buying...
Not that I can find, even if you cut up the case and find an adaptor the PSU communicates with the motherboard which you can't replicate, or not that I have seen.
@@TechLabUK I wonder if it's just a simple 12v signal it sends or if it's digital information like a playstation DRM system. Is it possible you could use a voltmeter to check? It's okay if not
Any chance you could do a case swpa im considering buying this i flip pcs and this is the cehapest decent one, im unaware if this uses a standard atx powersupply and if the motherboard is matx
Not as bad as I thought it would be tbh, slightly higher than what you saw in the video but there's a lot of heat pumping out the back so it does really need some extra air flow somehow.

@@theanglerfish There are bios updates for them, a bit of a weird thing to do on these but the latest bios only seems to go up to supporting the 2nd generation. I assume it's because they don't want you to upgrade after that, they want you to buy another one lol
@@TechLabUK ofc expected HP behavior confirmed 😂 but i like these really tool-less everything not just from HP Fujitsu as well and probably more of them but what really standa out are HP monitors they are amazing
I'm really sorry about this, with your accent and my bad hearing......I don't actually know what the name of the 3rd game you tested as it looks like a cool game. Could you tell me what the game was please?
I have the worst HP pc ever its a nice small case think its a bad Intel Celeron N3060 and the CPU is always 100% wonder what kind of new platform I could put in. it looks like it can fit a mini atx or bigger
What's the model of the system? If you want some advice from a number of people feel free to join our Discord server (Link in any video description) and there's loads of people there who can help, including me :)
Gave some impressive results, I actually ran Tomb Raider once it was installed to make sure it was working ok and had to double check the performance like 3 times to see if it was true lol 30FPS to 300-400FPS is a big jump LMAO

Try and cram a rtx 4090 in that case for the lol's
I'm really sorry about this, with your accent and my bad hearing......I don't actually know what the name of the 3rd game you tested as it looks like a cool game. Could you tell me what the game was please?
No problem. The games tested here were 1. Stray, 2. Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart and 3. Alan Wake 2.
@@TechLabUK Thank you very much
I have the worst HP pc ever its a nice small case think its a bad Intel Celeron N3060 and the CPU is always 100% wonder what kind of new platform I could put in. it looks like it can fit a mini atx or bigger

Impressive… most impressive…
Gave some impressive results, I actually ran Tomb Raider once it was installed to make sure it was working ok and had to double check the performance like 3 times to see if it was true lol 30FPS to 300-400FPS is a big jump LMAO
For your upgrade the ASRock RX 6600 Challenger ITX would be a better option factor space and would look more comfortable, greetings good job.
Yeah, an ITX card would be a much better choice. I only have this 6600 on hand though.
The hold a premium price. Difficult to find in UK region.
