I have the same pc and I am about to change the cabinet and the graphics to an rx 580 with 8 gb of vram, for that I need to change the power source to one of at least 550 watts. I really like how careful you have it (sorry if something is not understood, it is translated with google translate)
It seems possible indeed, with a 24 pin to 6 pin adapter. I need more research on this topic though. Budget wise going for a 75w GPU may make more sense

nice video, also you can install and boot from an NVME SSD. I did upgrade some of these pc`s already. always working. just look in the web for : Install and boot from an NVMe SSD on a HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF
Hi! Since you mentioned you have experience with upgrading HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF, maybe you can share some knowledge? The thing is that I need to upgrade CPU from i5 3470 to i7 3700. Initial configuration has 2 RAM sticks (M378B5173QH0-CK0, Samsung DDR3 1600Mhz 4GB) which perfectly works with i5. After switching to i7 it does not boot (5 short beeps indicating RAM issue). If I leave only 1 RAM stick, the system boots. I mean either stick number 1, or stick number 1 - if there is 1 slot occupied, the system boots. If more then 1 slot, then is does not boot. I tried different combinations - it appears that 1 stick is OK in any slot (all 4 were checked), but 2 sticks don't work no matter if in A-slots, B-slots or A+B slots. To exclude possible socket damage while switching CPUs I switched back to i5 - it still works with 2 RAM sticks. Tried updating BIOS to the latest version (02.90 => 03.08), but no luck. Unfortunately I don't have neither any spare 1155 MoBo, nor other DDR3 sticks to test. Have you ever encountered something like this? I would have assumed some CPU deffect, but there is a guy on HP forum claiming he has tried 4 different 3770 CPUs with no luck (but he does not specify if he has multiple RAM sticks, unfortunatelly, though I suspect he does have). Would be very grateful if you share some thoughts on this.
@@andrewerohin2459 Hi Andrew, unfortunately I do not have a mentioned CPU to try. I have read your post in HP forum, it would not be likely that all cpus are defective. More likely would be an incompatibility with the mainboard. However, I do know I7 is working in 8300 Tower, with all 4 dim slots populated, but that has another mainboard. So I conclude the cpu is not compatible with the sff mainboard.
Hello, i have the same configuration; it is possible put a gtx 1070 and doesn't change the power source (320w) . I have change the memory to dual channel memory (2*8gb) viper patriot 1600mhz thank you for you video
I have bought the version with i5-3470 for my windows xp 32bit build. I plan to put a GTX750ti on it and my biggest concern is if the power supply will be enough, it is also not easy to upgrade the PSU, since they used a special motherboard connector. Did you have any problem with this GTX1060? I am having some driver problems too, some of the drivers on HP website for win xp are not working.
I have same exact pc as yours. I am trying to install gtx 1650 oc but I am getting no video on the screen. Do I need to change sth on bios?? Bios is default settings. Thanks for the video.

Is rx580 run with this pc?
As far as i know you cannot easily change the power source
Tal vez sí, con un adaptador de corriente de placa base ATX de 24 pines a 6 pines para HP.

Thanks for the video
works normally on a standard power supply

I have change the memory to dual channel memory (2*8gb) viper patriot 1600mhz
thank you for you video
You need a bigger PSU, at least 450W.
Thank you for your answer, did you change the power supply because you put a 1060 6gb that consumes about the same as mine. 120W yours and mine
i would say a 1650 super or a 1650 ti, sorry for my mistakes
@@thibautg6270did you succeed? (The 1070 with a 320 watt power supply)
@@thibautg6270It is said that you need a dual sata to 8pin for that to work
If I put a additional 8 gb rams the fans are going crazy so I quickly turned it off
Corrupt ram or one of the ram slots is not working properly

Hi just wondering I have a hp 8300 MT with a i7 3770k could I fit a i7 7700k in or higher thanks
No sorry only intel second and third gen cpu.
Can i use a 1060ti?
What connector did you use to connect the 1060 in order for it to work? I'm trying to know because I'd like to add a 1050ti to mine
Thanks
Sata to 6 pin or 8 pin depends on the GPU.
do you use low profile gpu??
No
Great✌✌✌
I have same exact pc as yours. I am trying to install gtx 1650 oc but I am getting no video on the screen. Do I need to change sth on bios?? Bios is default settings. Thanks for the video.
no, just plug in the graphics card and install the drivers
Do you have the dvi cable???
When I installed my gtx 1650 i had black screen too.then I realized you have to connect a dvi cable to your monitor and the graphics
@@smokemanicwhat were you connect the other end to ?
Hello, I got the same rig: do you think I could use an i7 7600K or 7700K? Thanks for answering regards
No sorry you need another motherboard for intel gen 6
We can use only 3rd generation chip?? In this motherboard?
@@hetsolanki_13i think it is only compatible with 2nd and 3rd gen cpus.
Thanks,and what about to ad a MSI Geforce 1050 2GT LP (75W),will it be OK?
Hola .Una pregunta .Puedo hacerlo la misma cosa con un HP 8000 intel duo?❓❓❓
It is not compatible with this hardware that i used in the video.
