Yes, i think i tried that once. It won't go all the way in the pcie slot because of the case so it's sketchy and display output locations may cause issues, but i think it can be made work.
Hello! I have an HP ProDesk 600 G3 SFF with a 180W power supply, and I plan to make some modifications. That's why I wanted to ask for your advice since I've seen that you have a lot of experience handling SFF computer modifications. You see, my idea is to buy and install a Quadro M2000 (it's the graphics card that best fits my budget and doesn't require additional power pins) with an average power consumption of 75W according to Technical City. However, I've heard that PCIe slots are limited to 35W. Besides that, I would need to modify the case since it's a high-profile card, and I don't have PCIe extenders. Do you think it's worth going through the whole process? My only concern is that the graphics card may not be able to function due to the 35W power limitation. I've done the calculations, and in theory, I should have enough power to tolerate the installation with the average consumption of 75W. Thank you very much for your attention.
Hi, i have only worked with Prodesk/Elitedesk G1 SFF PC's, and the G3 SFF is completely different model so i can't confirm anything i haven't tested. You can never assume anything learned about the previous model carries over, G3 has a completely different motherboard and as you said, PSU. I have no idea if the pcie slot is actually limited to 35w on that model, i would try to google if someone has installed a GPU into that specific model. A new model (especially when it has a new kind of mobo) unfortunately means learning about what works and what doesn't work with it starts from scratch.
The case is also completely different from G1, so i can't say whether modifying it in that way would be possible/worth the effort. If i upgrade a ProDesk 600 G3 sometime in the future i'll sure make a video about that, but until i work on one of those, i can't help with that model.
ive had some isssues with games stuttering on newer 2.5 inch hard drives i have resorted to an older one i took out of a good ol reliable 5 inch hdd from an optiplex 5040 it works wonders
Yes, 2.5 inch 5400rpm HDD's are not ideal for gaming, with cheap SSD prices, it would probably be better to just get a 1tb SSD or something. I am just building PC's with the parts i have on hand at the moment, have to make use of a few 2.5 inch HDD's somehow.
Dell optiplex 7020 22.9gb ram 512gb ssd Gt 1030 but I have a 1050 just a full size card working on NES cartridge like dock pcie riser for top cover for a solid bracket almost any card doesn’t matter if it’s bigger then case solution
How much power does the 1050 draw from the slot? I have a dell with basically the same config except the hdd and i was planning on buying either a 1050ti, 1650 or a2000 since theyre all about the same price and im just wondering if the pcie slot can handle 70w graphics cards safely. Also how does beamng drive run withput AI Trafffic?
1050 is a 75w card and the one i used had no additional power connectors, so it draws all power through the pcie slot. I have heard that some dell PC's don't conform to the standard pcie spec of rated max 80w of power delivery (on some dell mobo's it says that on the mobo next to the pcie slot i think). However i don't think i have ever come across issues with pcie power delivery with the dell PC's that i have worked on, maybe i've just been lucky. I haven't used them myself for long though, so can't say if it's possible that there could be issues that only appear after long-term use.
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 ah thank you so much, I hope everything works for me since I found a sweet deal on an a2000 (which is like only 70 more in my country used than a 1050ti for over 3x the performance) and hope it will work
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 yep i5 3470 for now but I'm hoping for an upgrade to an e3 1280 v2 (higher clocked i7 3770 without igpu) and I hope it all goes well :3
I really enjoyed this video, many thanks from the uk
I do heatsinks and paste or thermal adhesive for the whole power and ic chips then south bridge chip soak and ipc intel chip heatsink add on etc,
That little square with a shiny rectangle or square… put a pad and heatsink on it , changes the whole mobo NITR0 style
Didn't really follow... Are you saying i should install a southbridge/chipset heatsink?

Quick question: could i just put normal sized gpu in the sff, with no extender cables and leave the case cover open?

Beamng.drive usually runs around 5-10 fps better with no traffic, don't have this PC anymore so can't say exactly.

It is running great better to have gpu then not having one
