HP Compaq 8000 Elite Upgrade SSD/CPU/GPU/RAM/CMOS 2023

In this video I will be upgrading this HP Compaq Elite 8000 small form factor desktop computer.
The parts that I upgraded are:
The CPU from Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 to Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400,
I replaced the 250GB Seagate mechanical disk drive with a 120GB solid state drive,
I replaced the one stick DDR3 2GB RAM with 4 sticks of 2GB each of RAM in total 8GB of the same frequency quad channel RAM,
I added an Nvidia Quadro K620 2GB DDR3 graphics card since it worked on an Intel integrated graphics card,
I replaced the CMOS battery 2032 which was gave the PC and error every time it boots into the Windows OS,
And finally installed a fresh copy of the Microsoft Windows 10 Pro operating system and I installed the necessary drivers from snappy driver installer origin and the necessary applications from Ninite.com like browsing the internet and office stuff.
This will be a great multimedia computer or an office PC since it's not going to do well for a gaming PC some old games can work great even though it is a very old.
Thanks for watching and hopefully this video helped you in some way also have a great day.

I can't access bios or even press F1 for it to load defautls and boot, because the USB keyboard is not turning on until i boot to windows......does it require a PS/2 keyboard?

[@ApkHeaven]

try the f10 or del button sorry for the late reply.

[@vitgerivaz]

@@ApkHeaven solved the problem by just borrowing a PS/2 keyboard. USB keyboard does not turn on at all until windows boots. And all USB ports are enabled. Might be a small issue with an old BIOS or something, but either way, i took care of it.

Can i put a gt 1030 grafic card on the exact computer

[@ApkHeaven]

Yes

[@asapdelivery7067]

Hi I now own this exact computer, what do you recommend for a HDMI GPU card??🤒

[@ApkHeaven]

low profile nvidia geforce gt 1030 ddr5 would do good for this old computer.

@@ApkHeaven thanks, ill hunt one down

​@@ApkHeaven goma desde España amigo. Tenemos esos ordenador en muchos colegio públicos. Se nota mucho cambiar del procesador E8400 dual core a ese?
Considera que ese ordenador usado aquí no vale más de 50€ y tal vez no merece la pena gastar tanto en RAM, gráfica, SSD sata y microprocesador....

[@Blukach_Bilyy]

Will it work without a video card if you replace only the processor? I don't have a video card.

[@ApkHeaven]

Yes

Is it possible to put this motherboard in another case?

[@ApkHeaven]

Not really and I wouldn't recommend it since it has a lot of special proprietary parts.

[@vfarthur18]

​@@ApkHeavenHi bro, mine is equipped with a Pentium E6500 with 65w TDP, what do you think about the cooling for the Q9400? Is that cooling system enough?

[@K-Kratos]

OK
