cobuman will a evga gtx 1060 6gb mini superclocked fit?
No sir, only low profile versions as listed above. I wish, because 1060 is much faster.
gtx 1030?? that's crazy, IS GT 1030 :)
@@phrog.4809 - if you have a sff pc like mine that I got Refurbish back in 2013 = the best Gpu : Gtx 1050 ti low profile 🎮 Great for 1080p Gaming even in 2019 while using stock HP 240 Power Supply ...... And its OverClocked ( No Voltage !! ) Since January 2016 with Zero issues 🎮
NIce machine. I have been using one for the past year.
One caution. It has a 240 watt power supply.
Keep that in mind when adding high end video cards and extra drives.
I use an NVidia P400 (30 watts) but that limits what else I can stick in there.
You make good points Lewis. I found that most people have no issues using up to GTX 1050 ti video cards in these computer.
I looked up the specifications for the HP 8300 SFF (DA-14268 Version 20 - 12/4/2012):
The PCIe X1 slot is rated at 10 watts.
The PCIe X4, PCIe X16 and PCI slots are rated at 35 watts.
The other point of note is that the first two (blue and light blue) SATA connectors are rated at 6GB/s.
The other two are rated at 3 GB/s.
I think my power problem may have been a USB 3 card that I had in the PCIe X1 slot.
Very good research. Thank you for this information.
To owners of the SFF (Small Form Factor) model of the HP Compaq Elite 8300 computer:
These machines (and I believe the other SFF models of the 8000 series, i.e. 8100, 8200, etc.) utilize a rare PSU (Power Supply Unit) form factor of CFX. The only CFX power supplies I have found are all 240W and are light weight for most graphics cards. The number of low profile graphics cards that will fit into the SFF machine have increased considerably in the past few years. In addition to half height profile, you must check the card length against the space from the rear of your machine to the taller components towards the front. If the card is half height and not too long to interfere with other machine components, you can install it.
However, power is another matter. While some lower power graphics cards will work with the stock 240W power supply, if the card has a separate power connector or draws too much power, it is not an option for the stock PSU. Fortunately, a PSU upgrade is possible, but requires a non-standard installation of a higher power PSU that will physically fit in the computer case even though not designed to do so. Two other PSU form factors may fit into the space taken by your existing PSU. The narrow portion of the PSU case location, which is deep and tall enough to accommodate a non-standard PSU, is approximately 100mm wide and 85mm tall. Common ATX and SFX PSUs will not fit in this space. The Flex-ATX form factor power supply is 81.5mm wide and only 40.5mm tall, so it will easily fit in the space, even if there is a secondary hard drive immediately in front of it. These PSUs are available with up to at least 350W. The other possible form factor is TFX. These PSUs are 85mm wide and 65mm tall, so they also will fit in your machine, but not if you have a 3.5” secondary hard drive immediately in front of it in the secondary hard drive location (the problem is that the TFX PSU will need to sit on top of the secondary hard drive, causing the top of the PSU to interfere with the top cover of the computer case). TFX PSUs are available in capacity of up to at least 500W. Depending on the height of its mounting hardware, a 2.5” secondary hard drive may be short enough to permit a TFX PSU to sit above it and not interfere with the top cover.
However, neither of these form factor PSUs have the ability to physically mount into your case like your existing unusually shaped CFX PSU. The simple solution is to mount the new PSU with double faced tape to secure it in place.
The next issue is connecting the new PSU to the motherboard and peripherals. Most Flex-ATX and TFX PSUs come with a 24pin or 20/4pin connector, a 4pin CPU power connector and some array of 4pin Molex, SATA and floppy drive power connectors. None I have seen have the KF2510-6P female plug found on your PSU. Also, these PSUs provide the now standard +5vsb (standby), not the +12vsb required by your motherboard. Fortunately, many sources provide an adapter cable that plugs into the new PSU's 24pin or 20/4pin connector and provides the 6pin main power plug and the KF2510-6P plug required by your motherboard. An eBay search for "ATX 6pin 2port supply cable" will bring up a host of sources for this adapter, which includes a DC voltage converter that converts the new PSU's +5vsb to the +12vsb you need. The new PSU's 4pin CPU (Central Processing Unit) power connector is connected to the motherboard at the same location as was the identical plug from your original PSU.
However, the flat 6 pin in-line KF2510-6P female connector on many of these adapters is not wired correctly for the HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF machine. Looking at the wire end of the connector with the raised guides pointing up and the rectangular holes facing down, the left most wire position is Pin 1 and the right most wire position is Pin 6. The adapter has 4 wires going to this connector of various colors. Because they are not standard, the wire colors are not important, just the Pin numbers of the 24 Pin receptacle and the KF2510-6P connector they run between. One wire connects to Pin 16 of the 24 Pin receptacle, the PS_ON or Power Supply On pin. The other end of this wire should go to Pin 3 of the KF2510-6P connector (the same location as the green wire on the original power supply connector). The wire that connects to Pin 8 of the 24 Pin receptacle (the PS_OK or Power Supply OK or Power supply Good pin) should connect to Pin 4 of the KF2510-6P connector (the same location as the grey wire on the original power supply connector). The other two wires connected to Pins 17 and 18 of the 24 Pin receptacle (or any other ground pins) should go to Pins 5 and 6 of the KF2510-6P connector. These locations have no wires connected on the original power supply connector. If the wires on your adapter are not connected correctly to the KF2510-6P plug, move the wires to the correct locations described above. To remove a wire from the plug, place a needle or other small pointed object like a toothpick gently into the small rectangular hole on the plug at the location of the wire you wish to remove. Press the needle gently inward and upward to release the metal wire connector and pull the wire and connector out of the plug. If the tiny tab on the metal connector is no longer bent away from the body of the connector, use the needle to push it out slightly so it will snap into the rectangular hole at the new wire location into which it will be placed.
With just this adapter, correctly wired, your computer will work with your new PSU. The drive power connectors from the new PSU can be connected directly to your drives, replacing the cable currently connecting your motherboard to the drives' power connectors. Not only does this reduce the current flowing through the motherboard, it also eliminates much of the +12v to +5v conversion currently performed by your motherboard with the original PSU.
One minor disadvantage of this PSU upgrade is that your computer will seek a "PSU fan on" signal when it boots. Since Flex-ATX and TFX PSUs do not provide this signal, you will get a 515 error message (Power Supply fan not detected) during the boot. Just follow the screen instruction to ignore this false warning by pressing F1 and the boot will continue.
This error can be avoided by connecting your CPU cooling fan to Pin 2 of the KF2510-6P PSU adapter connector (the same location as the white wire on the original CPU plug). This requires adding a 5th wire to the KF2510--6P connector on the adapter. Snap-in crimp connectors for this additional wire come with any KF2510 female connector, so you can buy a KF2510-2P plug and use one of its 2 crimp connectors for the new wire on the PSU adapter plug, leaving the Pin 1 location empty (the same location as the white with red stripe wire on the original PSU connector). The other end of the new wire is connected to the TAC or SENSE lead of your CPU cooling fan by spicing it to the appropriate fan power plug lead. This lead is usually a green wire but in any event it is the wire that connects to the #3 pin of the fan power connector which is the second closest to the side of the cabinet. With this arrangement, upon booting your motherboard sees the TAC or SENSE signal from your CPU cooling fan and reads it as coming from your always on new PSU fan, thus avoiding the false boot error entirely.
While this upgrade may appear intimidating, it really is not very difficult. Due to engineering changes by HP, I cannot guarantee this will work with your machine and like always, you proceed at your own risk. I did it with a 500W TFX PSU in my HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF machine to support a new graphics card and future peripherals and it works very well. My hard drive is a single 2.5" Solid State mounted in the main hard drive location below the DVD drive, so there is no drive immediately in front of the new power supply in the secondary hard drive location, allowing me to install the TFX profile PSU without interference. Good luck!!!
Thank you for this information.
Hello, can I get a link to the adapter and 500w PSU? And how would you recommend I mod the case for it to fit?
Typed a novel
Actually..... the tiny but quality 240w oem power supply CAN handle most any low profile cards - Any card with no pcie power and even ones requiring a PCIE 6-pin with adapters in most cases using 2 sata>pcie adapter - as long as you limit other draws and only use 2 drives (preferably SSD's). There is a of course a limit to this and having just done a Frankenstein build transplanting a 8300 tower mobo into a aftermarket case with PSU adapters (including re-pinning z200 adapter), etc it's a PITA and fair to say it's worth trying not to do if you don't have to...
@@EdgarC701 Hey HEY.. is there a suitable transferable bigger CPU case for this kind of motherboard that Hp Elite 6200 and or the 8000's series has?? or does any large CPU case will do for transffering?
I did this like 2yrs ago and as long as you are aware what you are getting into, like NO upgrade path what so ever, then go for it. I found a 8200 with i7 3770, 120gb ssd and a 16gb ram like $300, added a $150 1050ti and it was off the races, or games. Got two years out of it and it was working fine when I traded it for a lot, a lot of very good um, medicine, yeah, for my glaucoma, yeah.
🍃🍃
I have 8300 Full tower pc . i5 3570 +inno3d gtx 1050 + 16 ram + 1tb WD blue . Playing all new games within high graphics 60+fps (Depends on game _ DOTA 140 fps , CS GO up to 300 , PUBG 60 fps , u can check video tests )
+Kap Evil Very nice.
I just ordered an 8300 SFF off of eBay for $95. Now I know how to install my SSD into it when it gets here.
Nice, that's a good deal.
I need this video.been planing to buy a small form desktop for exchange to my old laptop
I have a HP compaq 8200 Elite MT(microtower) but I cant open the side panel.The lever works but I am afraid to pull hard incase it breaks.Any tips?
It sounds like you have a bent case. Under the lever it sort of slides back and forth and if you had something to push it...maybe it would work. When you lift the lever, it pushes it away from the back and probably just needs a little more to open. Use something skinny/metal/long to help you out. Just take your time.. :) Good luck.
If you hold it out in front of your face at eye level, let go and drop it on the driveway or sidewalk, it should pop right open.
Thanks for this video
How can I be sure that the hardware that I want to buy to upgrade is compatible with it, if you please guide me. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video man. I appreciate it
Could you change all the parts from a hp to a bigger gaming pc without having to buy anything to but to fit
Yes, but not this model. Some newer ones you can. Like this: ruclips.net/video/C70nmtTFPuw/видео.html
Hola cobuman, deseo saber si podemos cambiar el disco duro principal de 500Gb por uno de 2,3,o 4 TB? a un modelo HP8200 LK582LT con procesador i5 , gracias .
I have one of theses. They are very easy to work on and upgrade. By the way I subscribed to your channel.
I agree. Thanks for sub! :)
I can't open it idk why 😭!!

i have a prodesk 8300 and i need to swap the case, but the motherboard is btx instead of atx, ¿any case recomendations?
I'm not aware of any BTX aftermarket cases to use with that. If anybody else knows please let MUSK know.
@@Cobuman Thanks :)
Does Power Supply 240W can handle 8GB RAMS?
Yes it does, and here is RAM for 8200: amzn.to/3qeYSdk
hi
can i connect a second monitor on this machine without make changes? I want to connect the second monitor on the display port.
Sure thing. It works fine.
Hello! Asking if this HP Compaq 8100 Elite SFF has extra power supply slot. Planning to add SSD if still possible. Or if not, possible to replace HDD by SSD to speed up the computer. THanks
I think it does and yes you can use SSD.
@@Cobuman thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@SniperAss
great vid, i have 8300 elite. 16gb ram i5-3470. would a nvid k2000 2gb low profile card fit and improve gfx performance?
Hi, i have 8100 and want to upgrade to ssd. I saw a vid that suggested to visit the hp support first to know if it supports my desired size of ssd. And it only indicates 64gb. Wonder if 120gb ssd would still work?
Yes, it should support pretty much any size of SATA SSD. Ervin
Cob... would you recommend the NVIDIA T600 for a HP 8100?
thanks man
Hey, I heard it is possible to put in an extra SSD or HDD, if it’s true, where do I put it and what size? Sorry, I’m kind of new to building or upgrading hardware on computers.
Sure thing. You can install 1 additional HDD or SSD; however, you can install additional 2 HDD/SSD if you decide not to use the built in CD Rom. If you go for an SSD any standard sata type would work . The newer M.2 type will not work. There is space for additional HDD under the power supply unit (you just lift up PSU to see it). In this laptop upgrade video you can see an SSD type that works: ruclips.net/video/wNd2u862FU4/видео.html
hey cobuman, have you ever measure the power draw of this pc, especially when idle??
i want to make a small NAS server with this, but still doubt about the power consumption for running 24/7
can you test it with wattmeter or something?
I want to upgrade the case and motherboard for my pc so I can put in higher gpu in there. I want to use my current gpu,hdd,ram with my new case is that possible and can you recommend my a new case
As far as I know it's not work to transfer computer parts from 8000 series HP to another case. Different type of motherboard will not work.
I've got an 8200, with the hp1494 motherboard.
For around £200 for the pc and upgrades , I've now got an i72600k , 16gb of the ddr3 ram(it can apparently go up to 32gb) , a usb3.0 pci expansion card, Nvidia 710 and am planning to add a SATA SSD in addition to the 1tb HDD it came with as they're getting cheaper.
PSU is proprietary, so not too easy or necessary to upgrade. Likewise if I wanted to change the mobo, or upgrade fans I'd need a new PSU .
brother will this GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2G Computer Graphics Card work in Small form factor desktop?
Like this one: amzn.to/3zY0psd ? Yes, pretty much any Low Profile card will work.
@@Cobuman thnx so much for replying brother
@@tearzon9431 sure thing.
Also what the rams name and deatils?
Hey mate can I use a aftermarket heatsink/fan? But supports the LGA1155
Is there a way to upgrade thw psu to 1 with more power ? How would i do that
There is no PSU upgrade that I'm aware of for this system. If you are worried about GPU using to much power... check out this external adapter: ruclips.net/video/qedWzkcTnjY/видео.html
Hey Cobuman, I just got an Hp Compaq 8200 elite sff and I want to upgrade it so it would be able to run better games and I dont know everything about pcs but I know the basics thanks to your videos and alot of others and I was wondering what parts I would be able to use to make it alot faster for a better gaming experience. It would be so helpful if you replied
Here is my video on that: ruclips.net/video/EDau98FCzaA/видео.html
Hey could you please let me know that if i put a gtx 1650 (without any 6 oin or 8 pin connectors) would the power supply support it just by using the pcie x16 slot dont worry about the fact that the gpu wont fit because when i buy mine (i7 2600 16gb ram 1tb hdd 128gb ssd) i would buy a pcie x16 extender and cut a slit just to the size of the extenders another end and then connect the gpu to the extender outside the case and would keep my pc horizontal so that the gpu stays vertical or glue the gpu horizontal onto the case (let me know if it is safe meaning that tell me that my glue wouldn't sort out the gpu) and walla!! my gaming rig is ready
It would probably need the pin connector for extra power... But, your idea should work fine just be careful when running computer with exposed components. I made a video that does the same using an adapter that I used to sell: ruclips.net/video/tj2ws0mTm6E/видео.html Sadly, I no longer sell the adapter but check out the video.
@@Cobuman ok i get it but you used a radeon hd 8800 which is a big boy and needs external power but a gtx 1650 doseng need any external power so i think i can run my pc without any problems if i use a 1650 even if i have a 240w power supply
i have an HP COMPAQ 8200 Elite SFF PC, any advice? i mean Video card, (it have Win 7) With Intel i3-2120.
You can pretty much add any low profile video card in there. The best low profile card is GTX 1650 like this: amzn.to/3c4bNXa but you can install other LP cards as well. It comes down to how much you can spend.
Great Video. Is it possible to add a second Hard Disk into Elite 8300? I mean is there enough space?
+Hassan Bilal Thanks, you can have 2 Hard Disks. One under the power supply and second under the CD ROM.
Thanks cobuman. I forgot to mention Small Form Factor. Can we add another HD in 8300 SFF?
Great vid man! Im about to get the 8300 but what optical drive adapter should i use? i want to use an ssd for boot and music samples and hdd for games
Thanks Mike, inside this computer there is room for 2 HD + 1 optical (CD). You don't need any adapters unless your SSD or HD does not come with serial cable.
Ok, thanks
Can the little box be knocked out to add ports?
Hi i have 8300 and i wonder gtx 750 ti (double fan) will fit in there u know like is it gonna work normaly ?
Is possible to change original HP PSU 240 Watt with an auther more powerfull but with same format? I couldn't find it because the format is different and is not good for case HP 8300 SFF.
I have almost the same PC (it is actually a 8100, Core i5-650) can I put a GeForce GT 710 without having to replace the PSU?
Yes, just make sure it's the low profile type like this: amzn.to/2PSO1p9

I know this is an old video but maybe I can get an answer I looking to upgrade my ram I have the 8100 and 4gb ram wanna upgrade to 8gb.. I clicked what u recombined do I wanna get the 8gb kit(2) 4gb or do I wanna get the single just 8gb?
You can just get a single 4GB to make it total of 8GB. Here is the link: amzn.to/33iVnrI
cobuman is there a benefit to getting the two or an I able to get the two or it doesn’t matter?
So I can just buy a single 4gb and add it to what’s in there already ?
@@jstokes4025 Doesn't matter, You have 4 slots so it would add extra RAM if you buy any extra.

Hi guys, I have this exact machine and want to add HDD mechanical drive because it came with SSD. Can you show me a link how to do this please?
Under the power supply unit you can install another HDD; see here: ruclips.net/video/agViKHvMkb0/видео.html *after just connect the cables* if you don't use the CD Rom you can disconnect and use those cables with the new HDD.
Thank you
How do you open the case? when I try to open it it almost feels jammed closed, please reply
If pulling the lever does not work it's probably stuck or broken. I've had that happen as well. I ended using a screw driver to pry open. Try not to break anything while doing so.
@@Cobuman actual legend, cheers

@@Cobuman any tips btw?
Most useful video!
Glad you think so! 👍😁
I bought one of the sff and also an ultra slim. Right now I'm only using the ultra slim. It's just so SMALL! But you can't upgrade the video. My sff is just laying around for now. It seems huge. 😃
does it work with normal ddr3 and pc3 ram
Yes, but it has to be unregistered and unbuffered and non-ecc like this: amzn.to/2PU27J2
*scroll down to pick size*
can i upgrade the power supply in a pc like this?
Great question. Not really; however, this PSU can support additional GPU like GTX 1050 *low profile* like this: amzn.to/2YPaJQx
then only having these 3 connectors in a power supply can be connected to the PC?
Aside from 3 connectors and power supply I'm not sure what you are asking. Please be more specific and I'll gladly answer your question. :)
I mean, if I have a power supply with those three connectors, can I power this PC?
Would a 1650 sff work in this ? I have one with an i5 5600 cpu and would like to run a little vr in it. I'm hoping a gtx1650 will suffice for this.
I wish I watched this video because I broke the black thing on my gpu slot but it still works
Bro can it's motherboard support i5 3rd gen plzz reply
Great question. Depends which model you have.. if you have 8300 it has Intel Q77 Express chipset which does support 3rd gen intel CPUs like this: amzn.to/2NvWJJd . *other models do not*
Which power source (psu) can I get for this computer
You can get a replacement like this (original psu): amzn.to/2Wgxw6l
Hey, cobuman! Thanks for the super informative video.I bought Elite 8300 and installed GPU (GT 710) but have not yet installed SSD.What I found out was that I need a 4 pin ATX to 15 pin SATA power cable to use optical, HDD and SSD all together.I haven't lifted the optical part up yet but is there a hidden power cable that I can use to connect SSD?Should I buy one for this purpose?Thanks for your support in advance!
Sure thing, there are 3 SATA power connectors in total. It sounds like your optical drive has a 4pin ATX connector which makes me think it was added later. Original CD, HDD and expansion are all 15pin SATA. Keep in mind that you have extra space under the PSU for that extra HDD. ;)
Thanks for the reply! what I remember is that there is a HDD installed underneath PSU, not under optical drive. Hopefully there will be a SATA power connector available under optical drive. I will go check it out soon after work. Thanks again, cobuman! :)
No problem. I'm sure it's there. Good luck! :)
Ok I want to say first GREAT Video! I want to get 8300 version on Amazon and buy 1050ti gpu. However reading all this psu issues, I have a question, since it comes with 240 watts which is not enough according to you. Can I take this power supply and replace with new one like 300-400 watts??? Will it fit??? And if so could ypu recomend me which one should i buy on Amazon.
i was about to ask the same thing
Unfortunately, I am not aware of a power supply stronger than 240 watts that would fit. I did find that some lower end video cards don't require a lot of power. For example RX 550 or 1030 GT on full load only use around 49 watts which makes it a possible upgrade without having to buy a new PSU. They are not fast cards though...just an option. :)
It will work for a while. But for how long is the question. There are other factors that may come in to play. For example different games have a different load on GPU which may kill the PSU immediately after you start the game.
I think I would just save money and build my own powerfull pc, around 500-700 half new/half used parts.
I INSTALLED A GTX 750 TI TO ME WHAT ITS CONSUMPTION IS 60 W LESS THAN THE GT 1050 WHICH IS 75 AND GOES GREAT
Go to Hp and download the user manual for your elite model 8000, 8100, 8200 & 8300. The manual provides specs and part numbers with options for the various cases offered at that time. If you have a sff with the 240w PS the best video card you can do is a 75w low profile GTX1050TI as of 09/2018. Those that own the mini-tower 320w PS can do a 120W GTX1060 using a two sata power to a six pin adapter. The 8000 series uses a proprietary HP power supply and there is no drop-in upgraded power supply in the marketplace for any case style. The 8000 series will last you for years as long as you don't need the latest and greatest game machine for AAA games.
Awesome information. Thank you Vince! 👍
I just made a video about similar EliteDesk that talks about transferring everything to a full size PC case which allows for big PSU: ruclips.net/video/C70nmtTFPuw/видео.html
Is it possible to move this motherboard to a bigger case?
It looks possible by simply looking at it (not 100% sure though); however, the backplate where peripherals connect is not detachable. So, even if you transfer the mobo to another case you could not transfer the backplate... there would be a hole in the back. There is also the problem with heatsink that is designed to only work with this case. Sorry :( Good luck to you.

I would have i5 2400, one of these GPU and 16 GB DDR3 RAM
I allredy have GT 1030 that im selling and from that money and my other parts that i sold to make one OK gamig machine. Will that be possible?
Will MSI GT 710 Passive Silent 2GB fit in the case (2 x 14.7 x 7 cm)? Or could you recommend any compatible PSUs and GPUs? I am looking to buy a refurbished one then upgrade some parts.
Pretty much any Low profile card will fit. GT 710 is kind of slow so it may not be a big upgrade. If you can afford the GT 1030 it should be a bit better. Here is one: amzn.to/2DLCwqY When it comes to PSU there aren't really any better ones that would fit inside that case. However, it appears that most people don't have any issues running these cards on 240w PSU. Recommended is 300w PSU.
Thank you for the reply.
Sure thing buddy. :) Good luck.
What 400w power supply would you recommend for a sff computer
They don't sell them at that power.
Dear Cobuman, i want to connect my E8300 to the TV but can't make the D-PORT audio work (via d-port to HDMI adapter). can you please help?
Sure thing. If possible test D-PORT to D-PORT connection to see if there is any audio (if yes, then HDMI adapter is bad). I'm assuming you have audio to begin with so there should be no driver issues but just in case double check in Device Manager. Let me know the outcome to help you further.
@@Cobuman OK, thank you. Apparently i used a cheap D-PORT adapter cable. I went to the store and the seller suggested a better high-end adapter and all problems solved! thank you so much.
Nice! :) I'm glad you figured it out.
Exciting day indeed! *This new computer will help produce more video content and gaming experience* . I'm super happy about it. :)

if i want to use a heavy gpu like gtx960 can i use a separate power supply only for the video card ??
Definitely, you just need to jump the signal wire on the external power supply to turn it on. I have a video on how I did just that. ruclips.net/video/UGMC8iAfIa8/видео.htmlm47s When you do it, just make sure it's more of a permanent pin jump/more secure. I've done it with this computer as well. Also, when using an external power supply you don't need a super powerful one either because recommended video card power supply take in the account of the whole system draw. For example; GTX 960 recommended is 400w PSU for the whole computer... if you have an extra 300w PSU it would work just fine only used by the video card. Good luck.
Hey man I don’t know if you still check comments but you would help me a ton how good is Intel i5 Quad Core 3.20 GHz with a 1030 and 8gb ram for an 8100 if you think I should replace the Intel i5 Quad Core 3.20 GHz what would you replace it with? Thanks

Thanks man!
You showed that you can put a HDD under to Cd rom which means you can install a SSD with a bracket,thanks again
My pleasure. :)
Hi guys, I have this exact machine and want to add HDD mechanical drive because it came with SSD. Can you show me a link how to do this please?
Good day! What could be the cause of a ram slot that is beeping? Thanks mate! I have that HP 8100 Elite i5 650, 2x2gb ram, gt 730 2gb gddr5 with HDD. Planning to upgrade it to 8gb but my problem is with the beep.
Hi mate, the only RAM that the motherboard supports are Ddr3
I have the HP 8300 i5 3470, 6GB, ssd 120GB, HD 500GB. What video card do you recommend? I think of the GTX 1050ti 4GB mini oc. Is it a good option?
Yea should be fine
Is the i5 2400 good for normal games?
It will work well enough for some gaming with video card upgrade.
cobuman what would be a good pair with this system?
Please help me! I have a 8200 MT and i put a 700 wat psu wotch works well with the pc and i put inside a RX 460 Strix whitch is fully functional but i cant get any display from it and when i try to install drivers it says graphic card hardware not found!!! Can someone help me please i am super lost
Check to see if it's seated properly inside pcie slot. Check the 6pin power connector. Let me know after you do that. :) I will help you as much as possible.
Yes its 100 % into the socket it even makes the sound when it seats completely and the 6 pin is working light turns white and fans spin but there is no display
The card is functional too i just tried it in a gaming pc build
Go inside BIOS and look for a setting that disables PCIe slot. I'm not certain if it's there because I no longer have this PC but it's worth checking.
Sir where is the chip set socket?
hello, watch this video: ruclips.net/video/stcuFDSUTwE/видео.html
I would like to upgrade my 8200s psu to a different one with around 400-500 watts. Is there any psu which you could refer me to which would fit and be a good replacement?
Unfortunately, there are no PSU upgrades that I'm aware of for 8200. You only replace them if they burn out.
can you replace the cpu heatshink with aftermarket cooler?
i have 8200 sff with i7 2600
Unfortunately no, because there is not enough space. Aftermarket ones are much taller and it would mess up the air flow in the case.
cobuman thanks
I just made a video about similar EliteDesk that talks about transferring everything to a full size PC case which allows for big PSU and aftermarket cooler: ruclips.net/video/C70nmtTFPuw/видео.html
I have the 8200, but with 16gb and 2TB memory. Will I be safe with the my PSU? I also have an external hard drive of 1.5TB that I use. I just don't want my pc to go on fire when I'm not at home... I plan on buying the gtx 1050 ti lp.
The most likely time to burn out a PSU is while under load. So, like in middle of playing a game. On idle, your pc will not burn out; however, if you install that video card it may be pushing its limits. What I did with mine is install an external PSU for the video card only. It's a bit of a hack though, but an option.
cobuman Oh ok. Makes sense. How did you connect an external PSU on your video card tho? I thought the 1050 uses the power of the mobo and that it has no connector.
I use an older card that has the power connector. Routed the wire outside the case and plugged in to PSU. Afterwards, jumped the green pin on large mobo connector to turn on the external PSU. I didn't know 1050s use power from the mobo, interesting.
cobuman So... Technically, you can't use the card with the PSU that came with the elite 8200 hp PC then? You need an external PSU and your PSU of 240w? Is that what I'm understanding right now? How much watts are in your external?
Well, for the 1050 ti the recommended power supply is 300w; so, it would burn out your internal 8200 psu because the rating on it is 240w.
My external power supply is 300w, but if you go with external psu route then you need to consider the recommended watts for that video card. Good luck.
See I got this pc for Christmas from my step dad and I bought a capture card for $80. The frames are great I play league at 120 to 200 fps but for some reason I cant play games on steam like csgo or or this survival game called stay out. It loads the game but when I'm getting to a match it wont make it pass the loading screen. Idk anything about PC's seeing as this is my first one ever idk if I should get ram cards or anything but I see someone says they can run good games on it so ik its gonna be possible to run csgo and stuff I just dont know what to do to the pc
Update the drivers for your graphics card.
@@Cobuman i did that but like it wont let me load in a game it gets half way through loading and then crashes the main menu and lobbys work but cant get in games so i dont know if i need something for speed league of legends works perfectly fine tho

Can you transfer all the components in another case?
I have the hp compaq 8500 sff and I'm trying to put in a graphics card, replace the battery and add some ram sticks. The tech guys at best buy are telling me no graphic cards are going to fit in here and I really could use some help trying figure out what to buy to replace these parts
I'll be glad to help you out. Can you reply with a link to this model? I'm not familiar with 8500 nor can I find any info about it.
cobuman my apologies I meant 8200 elite IDK why I typed 8500. My brain said 8200 but fingers wrote 8500!
:) No worries. When it comes to video cards you can pretty much use anything that is "low profile" type as long is does not require additional power connectors. For example GT 1030 or 1050. Here is one: amzn.to/2DLCwqY
When it comes to Power Supply there aren't really any better ones that would fit inside that case. However, it appears that most people don't have any issues running these cards on 240w PSU. Recommended is 300w PSU. However, I found that PSU are super cheap even if it goes bad after some time (around $30).
For RAM sticks... These are pretty expensive because you need very specific type and others will not work; however, if you can find some used RAM from ebay or such specific to your model, that should work and be a lot cheaper. For example; I found some on Amazon but it's super expensive at almost $100 for one 8gb stick. Ebay is around $60 for 8gb.
*Above suggestions are for SFF version (like in the video) and not USFF which is way smaller.* :)
I bought 8300 with GTX 1050 2GB and i5 3470 8GB ram and 1TB HHD. Apporx. fps on fortnite?
That's a great question. You should be able to get solid 60fps on High settings. The closest thing I have to show similar setup is this video which is a laptop with GTX 1050 (you can expect slightly better performance) ruclips.net/video/yA2DgoBSZoA/видео.html
You have gtx 1050 2gb you can't go higher than medium settings on fortnite or correct me if you tested it
Under the PSU, would I have to get a tray for another SSD? And would I have to upgrade the PSU as well?
SSD is does not have moving parts so you can install it pretty much anywhere there is room. Even 1 screw is enough to hold it. :)
Can I run a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (Or Two 1050's) or 1 GTX 1050 4GB and maybe something a little smaller? Enough power supply?
You can run "low profile" GTX 1050 Ti 4GB or anything else below it. Power supply cannot handle more than One video card.

Can a normal size rx550 fit in a 8300 minitower and smallform factor
No, it has to be a "low profile" type like this: amzn.to/2QCNMhb *the one I linked though is way to expensive*. I suggest maybe looking at other types or brand but make sure to get a low profile either way. 😁
does it matter which slot bc i put mine in the bottom white slot
Not really. Both slots should be pcie x16. I found that bottom works better simply because of extra space for the card. :)
oh thanks
what CPUs do you recommend i upgrade to on a 8100
Check HP web...u can see many various cpu can put in 8100
I have a HP Elite 8100, can I upgrade the power supply ?
no

That issue is not specific to 8200 but to wifi adapter and your network settings.

It helps push the air out if you have one.

Thank for this video. I do have this 8100 model, i7 with Windows 7 32 bit. Is it possible to update this to 64 bit Windows (either Windows 7 or Windows 10)?
Sure. I would recommend installing an SSD storage to help it run faster. You should be able to use your Windows 7 key to install 10 for free. Good luck.
I did it! I was able to update on a 64 bit version using my old windows 7 key :)
hi all, please if anyone can guide me regarding which video card (2GB for 3-4 displays) would be compatible with HP Elite 8300 SFF. Also which PSU would be needed as the one I have is rate 240 Watts.
Thank you
Would it be possible for me to move the components of my hp 8300 elite into a new case? My whole setup is rgb and the pc kinda ruins it. I added a gt 1030 so i can run games but the case is ugly lol. Is there any rgb cases maybe with side panel windows you know of?
I hear ya... that case is pretty plain/ugly. :) You can transfer components over but you would have to change Motherboard and Power supply as well because of PSU size and different connections. At that point you may as well build a new computer. I suppose it would be possible to physically *rig* everything but that would be super ugly.
cobuman ok, thank you :)

Hi cobuman.
I have this HP elite 8300 i7 desktop. Can I use quadro 600 graphic card in this ?
Possibly, you may need a "low profile" bracket. It's possible to just trim it but I leave that up to you... :)
@@Cobuman
I trimmed the plate and it fits completey very well but no display coming.
You may need to install video drivers first.
@@Cobuman the driver can be installed without the hardware plugged in ?
You can install the driver with quadro 600 card installed... if you have no display signal.. plug in the monitor to standard display... this way you can go inside the Windows OS and see if quadro 600 is visible at all; if so... install the driver.
Doesn't the model have a 32 bit Windows 7 OS? I thought that only supports about 4 gb of ram.
If so, Is it compatible to upgrade to a 64 bit version of windows 7?
This computer has a 64bit processor which supports up to 32GB of RAM. Yes, you can install a 64bit Win7 or Win10.

I have an 8100 with an i5 650 and a gtx 1050ti lp. Can I and will I be able to update the CPU to a Xeon X3440
It would not help much. i5 650 is better for games.
But a Xeon is a quad core and an i5 650is a duo core
But than your for your reply
Good point, There are a couple of things that in my opinion are better with i5 650: Newer technology, faster single core processor speed (better for games). It does have 2 cores, but it has 4 processing threads for games that support it.
Also, I don't think this motherboard would support Xeon x3440 at BIOS level.
If you can find a super cheap Xeon and decide to test it, I would be interested in benchmark results. :)
Hey HEY.. is there a suitable transferable bigger CPU case for this kind of motherboard that Hp Elite 6200 and or the 8000's series has??
None that I'm aware of. Why do you ask? I'm just curious because most people want more space inside for full size GPUs...
yea for bigger GPu (i cant find a gtx 1050ti loe profile around my country) and for a fan. cause gpu heats up quickly.
I'll have a product soon that allows for adding an external any size GPU to Desktops.

Good question. Yes, this card will work fine. When it comes down to buying a compatible video card for this PC; just make sure it's "low profile" type. :)
