I bought an HP Z440 on eBay in 2021 for $230 Au. E51620V3 32g ddr4 k2200 Quadro. I put an HP Turbo pci-e nvme adaptor and nvme in. It's blazing. The Turbo pci-e adaptor cost $29 Au as did a brand new HP 256g nvme. Great video bro.
I think throttle-stop allows the w3690 to be overclocked a bit. Also adding PCI-E to Type C USB 3.0 PCI Express Expansion Card and SATA PCIe Card 6 Gbps SATA 3.0 cards
I got a dual m.2 card with sata and nvme on the same pcie card. Using a small sata drive for clover I got it to work. I did the windows install on a different pc then had to alter the bootloader config by booting into a recovery win10 usb and opening command prompt. It was a pain. Windows likes to take over the bootloader so it had to be done in a fixed order for it to work. You have to make a efi partition on the clover sata ssd. diskpart. create part EFI size=512. Format quick fs=fat32. Make it writable by assign letter=x in diskpart. quit diskpart and in commmand prompt type C:\windows /s X: /f UEFI. After reboot clover should see the mbr on the extra partition on the sata drive which points it to the install on the nvme.
Thank you for sharing this. Wow some great lengths to get that to work, I couldn't imagine trying to do this haha but really cool to hear it does work.
An enterprise intel p3600\p3700 NVME drive will work as a boot device in these old systems. I use a 1.6tb p3600 in mine that boots the OS. If you look around you can even still buy them new despite being around a decade or so old at a not silly price.
@@latedreams5188 try 4.00ghz, if it's not stable go for 3.9ghz, keep going down until it gets stable. Then maybe start increasing them again 1 core at a time till you find a sweet spot
Bit of a waste to be playing fortnuts as this pc is much better than econobox sff hp thinkstations that can run this silly game. Stick ms❤ flight simulator on that beast!

nicely done! mmmm x5690 westmere is nice. i sold my x5690 and kept a w3690 for my last x58 system.
Thank you 😊 I originally wanted the w3690 but they were notably more expensive, great CPU
Since i have this pc with 0 upgrades yet and thinking to, i actually loved each second watching this video 👏🏼 great content
Thank you it means a lot :)

Nice! Sounds like a great system
I'm using one right now. I am using Z400 since 2019

love your videos man !!
Thank you so much :)

w3680
im running z400 bare stock and if you just maintain it it works great for reliability, when i put aftermarket parts on it reliability drops tho
Interesting, what kind of aftermarket parts can make the reliability drop?
lol

Thank you so much for this information

@@Carrington1961 throttlestop, there's tutorials on RUclips
mine crashes at 4.1 ghz what i do ? i lowererd it to 3.8 ghz

Awesomeness
what gpu did you use
GTX 1060 3gb
Nice video
Thank you 😊
Love my Z400. I bought it new in 2010 and use it daily. Of course did a lot of update (CPU, SSD, USB-3, Graphic card)
It's a great computer!
