I'm guessing this applies to the Hp Pavilion gaming desktop w Ryzen 5 3500 and Geforce GTX 1650. My exact model number is TG01-0018. I don't know if you have a Hp close to those specs but does this video go for both versions of the Pavilion. Love ur Videos! Do you think doing a precision boost on Ryzen Master would be worth it? I know the Bios is locked on Hp that's why I was wondering if using the auto options on Ryzen Master where safe or if it would really even make that big of a difference. I also installed another stick of Crucial 8gb 2666DDR4 ram so it's running in DUAL CHANNEL now. It is a very good beginners gaming computer. Also is it worth overclocking the gpu?
Thank you for making these awesome videos! I'm digging the new setup and 4k upgrade! Can you explore cooling upgrades for the TG01? After upgrading to a R7 3700X and 2060 Super the case gets much hotter. I've been looking at some Noctua CPU coolers, but HP doesn't make it easy. They apparently use an Intel screw pattern (LGA1151) for the AM4 socket.
Just bought the ram upgrade! Have had one of these for the past week or so and it only came with 1 8gb of ram. Bought the 2×8gb of ram(OLOy) and can't wait to see the difference between single and dual channel
him talking in military code reminds me of when my dad tried to sign me up for the boys and girls club and they asked for his email and started spelling it in code and they actually thought it was his email
I purchased the TG01-1070M and fully maxed it out with the 2060 Super 8Gb, Ryzen 7 4700g and I went cheap on the ram because I bought a b550 micro tax with 32gb of 3600 vengeance rgb pro, an amd wraith prism cooler and a 700 watt psu, all the ram case motherboard power supply and peripherals are in, just waiting on hp to ship it out!
Yeah I mean it is a good deal. For just the parts when it is on sale. I need to do a case swap video for the 690 and TG01 it is not all that hard. Good luck .
@@TNW1337 it’s a very good deal for 1,080$ my man, all it really needs is a cooler a case and mobo in my opinion! And then ram! Best of luck to you my friend 💡
Hi, I think I watched all your videos. Still of course some questions. - What is the highest CPU (Intel) I can use. - Can I use a Corsair 850W PSU or other standard form PSU, you seem to say yes or no depending on OEM installation but if not OEM can a standard PSU be installed??? . - Can I use a NVMe PCI(!, NOT SATA). Thanks!!
Can you recommend a Intel 10th gen Motherboard for the case replacement upgrade, I'm not that clued up about motherboards xD by the way your a legend! literally the only youtuber who's been upgrading this model
Great video! Do you need to upgrade the 400w power supply if you add a 3.5" HD? I just ordered the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1070m that has a Ryzen 5 and an RTX 3060. Thanks for the helpful videos!
Hey TechNitWit, I am obsessed with your videos, its amazing what this small 699$ PC can be converted into. I have 2 small questions, will the 500w PSU be enough for Core i7-10700F, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 2 Noctua coolers + a gaming keyboard and mouse and a 144hz screen? And do I need any adapters for 2060?
Hello, i was wondering what is the maximum power supply these TG series will take? I currently have one and it has a 400w supply, i plan to eventually upgrade the GPU to a 3060, but im not completely sure 400w will be enough to support the new GPU when i manage to get it.
I bougbt the TG01-1020 about a year ago and bave only added more HD space to it. I'm gonna be upgrading the ram and then hopefully the graphics card. I've been coming to your channel and really appreciate how helpful it's been. Thanks, dude. Would tbe OLOy DDR4 be a good upgrade for the ram?
@@TNW1337 thank you so much. One final question; What if I purchased the same 8gb ram stick that it already came with? I was able to find the product number of the single 8gb ram that is already in my computer. Would that work?
I would look at a 1440p 300mhz or 144mhz monitor. If you can swing it or if you want to go nice 4k. But the hp with out a rtx3000 will not really due 4k gaming. But this is all going to change soon. I will have a new video showing how you can do 4k gaming with a nice Gpu in the Tg, 690 And 590 software pc's.
@@TNW1337 I found this monitor, "LG - UltraGear 27" IPS LED FHD G-Sync Compatible Monitor with HDR" and it's on discount rn on best buy here in Texas lol. It has 1920 x 1080, g-sync, and 144hz 😮
Hello. I don't know if this chat is still very active but I also have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super, Intel Core i3-10100, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Home. I have a 400W PSU. I have already upgraded to 16GB of RAM, 1 HDD and 1 SSD. I see post about the MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. Its the exact one linked in the description of the video. I would love to get it and upgrade from my 1650 Super since I am getting into Unreal Engine 5 development. My concern is that 400W is not enough but I am seeing people in the comments ask and the response is yes I can upgrade. I would like more confirmation on this since it's a big purchase and the Amazon link in the description says you should have at least a 550W PSU. To add to this. If I do need a bigger PSU which exact GPU can I get on 400W that would be best? Links in the description say RTX2060 Super 8GB Amazon (as stated in the video) but when I click the link in the description it takes me to an RTX2070. I'm just a bit confused as which is wrong? The video or the link? Again this is incase I can't get the RTX 3060 that I want.
I was hoping you could help advise on what I need to buy to improve my computer's performance. I have HP Pavilion TG01 - 182 Ryzen 5 / 16GB RAM / 1024GB SSD / GTX1660S I don't know know much about computers, but when I play Half Life Alex in VR, or anything that is more demanding on the pc, I start noticing frame rate issues. What parts should I buy to give my particular pc optimal performance? My question has probably already been answered in this video, but I am computer illiterate...
All good no question is a bad question. You will want to do 2 things. 1st upgrade the PSU to the 500w if you do not have one. 2nd Upgrade to a RX 6700 XT Or RTX 3070 Or RTX 3060 TI. VR Games use a lot of Vram. Vram is the GPUS Ram. Like the Ram you Have for the CPU, so the more the Better Normally. 1660 only come with 6GB and for VR it start to push past that and needs more like 7Gb or 8GB.
Hey technitwit thank you so much for this video and amazing video as always! I have one question when I get my 2060 super. Would my razen 5 3500 be compatible with it or would it be the bottleneck?
They are going the cheap route they could stick 2x 4Gb dims in. But you are right there is no reason that any newer Cpu/Build would not come with a dual channel ram setup.
Hey I'm not knowledgeable about upgrading these but I wanted to take your advice and purchase more ram. I've already set up the computer for my son's to play their games. Is it still ok to go in and add another stick of ram? Should I remove the one that's in there and put 2 new ones? Or do you keep the one that's in there and just add another one? Will it reset all the setup I've done so far? Thanks if youre able to respond
if you signed up on the HP site with your model number it can tell you what parts came with the PC. Mine is compatible with DDR4 up to 64GB Ram. if I'm being honest I tried looking into upgrading mine and for all costs of the upgrades I'd rather build a new one or buy a newer prebuilt.
I just bought the R5 ver. so i got a stick of A-Tech 8GB PC4-25600 Desktop DIMM DDR4 3200 MHz Non-ECC 288 Today. Would it be better to get a pair of Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL16 instead? Also if I upgrade the Nvme M.2 will I need to clone it or can I just put a fresh copy on it. Thanks for the great video.
You can put a fresh copy. The ram may work if they both clock at the right speed you should be fine. if it does not boot then remove it the new dimm, And you will have to get the pair.
Im seriously considering jumping to pc gaming over the new series x and your support of the TG and its upgradeability has given me hope i can convince my wife the extra $$$ over the console will be worth it! Thank you!
I wonder if i Can upgrade to another motherboard and cabinet? I think i just might need to upgrade other stuff to do that? I have a: Hp Pavilion tg01-2421no
Which would be better with a 400 watt PSU and AMD Ryzen 5 3500 the "ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 6gb"or "MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB" both GPUs are recommended in your description but I was seeing a lot of recommendations online for the PSU to be over 500 watts for both. It looks like you quit responding to comments on this video, but I thought I would try anyways. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I am planning of buying this exact same one soon. Is still worth it in 2022? And the only thing that I am planning to change short term is the ram. Does it handle 2 of 16gb of ram?
Hey did you ever hunt down a compatible hp power supply sku for a 600w? I got a zotec 3070oc dual fin and just wanna make sure I'm gonna be ok. I've got the 500w tracked down for about 200, which feels like a lot but if it's what it is then that's what it is haha
I'm so regretting this stupid hp right now. Was about to get a 3070 but learned about this size and propietary bs before I got it. Looking at a board switch or maybe just waiting and building one when i have the money. Can't afford a board and case switch with the 3070 though
Hey man I have an HP pavillion desktop with an Amd 5600g & radeon 5500x. Could I upgrade the 5600g to a ryzen 7700x processor? Would that be any better or do you not recomment paring a ryzen 7700x with a Radeon 5500x graphics card
Hello. I have a basic question, you may roll your eyes..... I’m stupid. I have a TG01-0023W. I have upgraded the ram to two 8GB sticks of 2666. I play MW but not war zone, only multiplayer. What is a basic modification that will yield the best results without taking me down a rabbit hole of having to mod the next component. I do not possess the money or knowledge for a new GPU. They are ridiculously priced.
Hey. I'm completely new to building PCs and have the TG01. I want to buy a new case and motherboard and basically move all the old parts (cpu, gpu, ram, ssd) to the new motherboard. Just wanted to ask what to look out for when choosing a new case, motherboard, and psu to avoid any compatibility issues with the old parts?
Hey man that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I bought the nzxt h510 case and for the motherboard I got a GIGABYTE B460M DS3H V2 and for the psu i got 500w evga...I’ll let u know if it works
@@convolx2495 Hey, thanks for listing me your setup. pcpartpicker helped me pick parts, gonna pick a different motherboard since my tg01 came with a 9th gen i7 (guessing yours came with a 10th gen). The thing I'm most nervous about is whether ill need new cables/screws or whether I can just reuse everything, and then applying new thermal paste which I've never done. definitely lmk how it goes for you
@@GTBKS so I build it😁...but now I have to install the drivers and all that fun stuff but over all the building process went well and was fun and time consuming
@@convolx2495 Thanks for letting me know! Im glad it went well for you. I think I’m only gonna end up using the old GPU(cause new ones are impossible to buy), storage, and WiFi chip if possible. Going for a fresh Ryzen 5600X build.
So, I was thinking of upgrading my gpu to an RTX 2080 or 2080 ti. But they are 10,5"... are you saying it abolutely won´t fit? I currently have a gtx 1660 super, 32 gb ram and amd ryzen i7-3700.. need the 2080 to eventually run the HP reverb g2 at max resolution.. I will ofc upgrade my psu berfore/while i uograde my gpu. thanks m8! grear channel!! :)
Hey. So I have recently purchased the tg01-1008na it comes with 2 sticks of 4gb ram. I was wondering is it worth getting a single stick of 16gb ram and replacing one of the 4gb to take it to 20gb? Or is it more appropriate to just replace both 4gb sticks with 2x8gb(16gb)? Bit new to the pc installs
Hello. I see in the drop down list, there is a Motherboard listed! AMD MotherBoard ASUS Prime B450-M-A AM4 What procedures or steps are required to get one of these working since the Erica MB seems to be proprietary with other components? would changing the MB require a full fresh Windows Install etc. All of HP's info is on the NVME SSD right ? Sorry I am a little confused as to how to do a MB Swap
The Nvme would move to the new board. Nope the old windows should work. If not I would get a Ebay key. one of the cheap ones, under 20$. You can do the swap in to the new case you will need a PSU, Mobo and case.
I just got a HP Pavilion Gaming PC, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400F Processor, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, Wi-Fi 5 & Bluetooth 4.2, 9 USB Ports, Pre-Built PC (TG01-2040, 2021) what the most Max I can upgrade to ?
I have a TG01-1305ng with the 10400F. My Question is, does a GTX 1050 Ti work in it and does the motherboard (Baker) deliver enough power for it without using the 6 pin connector from the psu?
Hopefully you can see this, but can you use both nvme and ssd? Also is it necessary to have a hard drive for editing, ir can you only use the ssd/nvme? Thank you.
If I were to swap cases I would have to change PSU, Motherboard, and Case right. second thing I would be able to get any power supply and not an HP one right?
I have a TG01-1160 with I5. Is the motherboard able to take a newer Samsung NVMe? Amazon - Samsung 990 PRO Series - 2TB PCIe Gen4. X4 NVMe 2.0c - M.2 Internal SSD
This guy seems very smart and knowledgeable but I could not get over all the acronyms that he was throwing at me for the first two minutes of the video. Just a little bit too much 😁
The problem is HP sites do not allow you to link past the front page. Thta's why I have not done it. you have to Navigate to the HP Site type you model number in then if it is supported. it will be there. It only unlocks the page after Your modle number and S/Number is typed in. I know it is really stupid.
@@TNW1337 I went to ho websight and I tried to install the latest bios .. cpu would not let me said I am running the most current one .. I then changed the fabric timer and the ram timer “ or what Ever it’s called to 1600 on ryzen master and it worked but when I played a couple of games after a bout 4 minutes my computer crashed
I do got a question I got a friend mentioning some of the upgrades and I told him about the 500 watt, but got someone who could give or sell, worse case I can find similar pricing online, for a 750 watt power supply. It may not so I can consider switching it to a better case, but I do ask if you can test it and see if it can work by chance for a pc like this. Thank you if u find this
This help a lot because I was planning on getting one as my first time getting in to gaming pc the one question I ask is when ordering the PC is it a good idea to automatically just spend a little bit more money and upgrade from a 8gb of ram to a 16gb of ram from the factory or should I just leave it stock. I can't really figure out if I should do that or not because I probably well have to leave it stock for a good while until I can upgrade the pc.
wait a minute! Just found this video! I could've swapped the mobo and PSU to Thermaltake SMART 600W and B450 - A in the same TG-01 case???! It would've been more cost effective than paying $220 for the HP 500W PSU. I'm so annoyed right now!
try editing afterwards to put the model numbers up on the screen. Doing this in place of listing out the model number will shorten the runtime. Also, try to get the runtime under 15 min.
Great video very informative. Quick question. I have a TG01-1120. I definetly want to do some upgrades. I have a 400 PSU, can I upgrade to an Nvidia RTX 3050? Thanks in advance.
@@TNW1337 lastly for rhe TG01-1120, for air flow can I purchase one if the cases in your description you put with my 400w PSU or will I need more power to power the additional fan that appears to come woth the upgrade case?
@@TNW1337 I have a question. So like I said I have the TG01-1022 and for some reason it only shows that my 1650 super as having 2.83 GB of VRAM. Is HP somehow limiting the VRAM or is there a way to get the full 4GB out of it? I just got it and was wondering why COD was showing less VRAM then what the GPU has.
If i were to upgrade my cpu to the 3700x, would I have to change the cooler? I checked the mother board and it doesnt look like it can take a stock amd cpu
along with an evga 600w external psu, I ordered the 500 w from hp as well good looking on that news, but I got the 3070 coming, as well as corsair 32gb for this thing
Depends on the board you have. If you had a normal AM4 board you could use 2nd gen 3rd gen and 5th gen ryzen. Only thing is you would not get Pcie4 you need a different board. Hp does have a AM4 board that could support Pcie4.
@@TNW1337 Thank you for the feed back!! So I couldnt take a screen shot of hps spec sheet for the Erica6 so I could only copy paste since I'm on the cell , AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (Cezanne) 3.8 GHz base clock, up to 4.6 GHz max boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache, 8 cores 65 W

Hello! I was curious if your available to help! I have the Hp pavilion Tg01-1003NA with the i5 and a 1660 Super, Would i be able to put a rtx 3060 in the case and what would you recommend if so? New to pc gaming but would love to spend another 500 and get ray tracing 😅
Great video. I have the tg01-0023w. I want to upgrade ram to 2x8gb 3200 ram. You mentioned with AMD will need to update the BIOS. How do you update the BIOS and is it worth it...? ... Meaning is there any negative outcomes with updating this particular BIOS?
Not really, Going dual channel will be the best thing you can do. You a nice jump depending on your Gpu and Cpu. I-7 with a 3070 I seen almost a 45-75 Fps gain. Also depends on the game as well. So most will see a 20-40 Fps gain depending on hardware. going from 2666Mhz to 3200Mhz is like a 5-15 Gain. I mean if you can do dual channel and get the speed it is you best bet. But not all of the systems can do the Bios update. It will depend on the motherboard your TG has they have 2 or 3 that they put in the TG AMD Hp's. You will want to google your model number and go to the hp support site not the normal Hp site FYI. When you google look at the site below in green Look for support.hp. Dot some thing.
@@TNW1337 Model via CPU id is 8643. X570. Does that mean anything to you? If not no worries. Should I just install the 3200 2x8gb sticks and not worry about updating BIOS or should i update BIOS and try for some extra FPS? I think i just answered my own question lol, but being a dam tech enthusiast, curiosity remains.
I have a TG01-0299 (Intel based CPU) with the stock GTX 1660 GPU. I cannot get my hands on a more powerful HP PSU, so I am stuck with the 310 Watt stock PSU. Am I also stuck with the stock GPU, or can I upgrade? If I can upgrade, what to?
I have a tg01-1070m with a ryzen 5 4600g and I'd like to upgrade the RAM to 2x8gb, but I've been reading that if I buy a DDR4-3200 kit that uses xmp to reach that speed, the hp erica motherboards don't allow the overclocking? I am very new to this so maybe I'm confusing something there. Basically what I've been reading is that people buy 3200 RAM but their HP desktop only runs it at 2600. Is this something I should even be thinking about? Is this cleared up with the AMD bios upgrade you mention in the video?
If you want to be a 100% sure that you get that speed, you have to buy hp ram. I have gotten some kits to work. But other have had probldems. The benefits you gain over a single stick out way the speed decrease of the ram. With dual chanle ram, your gaining 30-50 fps in some games. Going from 3200 to 2666 is like 3-5 fps Loss. Also you will see Throughput gains on drive speed, clock cycles, gpu latency & more. The new cpu are ment to be dual channle, Not even sure why hp sends there pcs out with single sticks. They should split it to 2x 4gb sticks for 8gb. Also to get the most out of new titles, 16gb is the sweet spot. Some games use more now, if you give it to them. Memory/ram is like a fast access path way. look at it like this if you live in a big city and the freeway was one lane of traffic it would move pretty slow? What happends when you add a 2 lane ect. Dual channle is like adding 4 lanes for traffic Things start to move a lot faster.
@@TNW1337 Thanks for the reply! That helps me feel okay about getting some RAM and letting it run at the slower speed. Of course, its annoying that hp is setting their system up to prefer their RAM, but I'm more happy with the good low price I got on the prebuilt. Hopefully in the future I'll have more money to spend on a custom pc (and maybe the GPU market will have calmed down too, haha).
Thank you for the videos, I am interested in putting a gpu in my hp pavilion, it has the 400w psu from hp and also a ryzen 5 5600g. I have also put two 3200 8gb ram sticks in and overclocked it to 3200 with ryzen master.

Can you recommend a Intel 10th gen Motherboard for the case replacement upgrade, I'm not that clued up about motherboards xD by the way your a legend! literally the only youtuber who's been upgrading this model
It really depends on how much you are wanting to spend, lemme know. Should be able to recommend one.

Great video! Do you need to upgrade the 400w power supply if you add a 3.5" HD? I just ordered the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1070m that has a Ryzen 5 and an RTX 3060. Thanks for the helpful videos!
No. Any of the sff with a rtx should have the 400watt psu they need the extra plug.
Hey TechNitWit, I am obsessed with your videos, its amazing what this small 699$ PC can be converted into. I have 2 small questions, will the 500w PSU be enough for Core i7-10700F, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 2 Noctua coolers + a gaming keyboard and mouse and a 144hz screen? And do I need any adapters for 2060?
Yes it will be you may need a 8 pin to 6+2. Dual adapter. I do llnk then in videos.
Can you do a video regarding temperatures after upgrades is there any cooling upgrades that can be done or fan additions ?
It is planned.
Thanks for the info

Hello, i was wondering what is the maximum power supply these TG series will take? I currently have one and it has a 400w supply, i plan to eventually upgrade the GPU to a 3060, but im not completely sure 400w will be enough to support the new GPU when i manage to get it.
400w for 3060 is fine, but a 500w would be better.
I bougbt the TG01-1020 about a year ago and bave only added more HD space to it. I'm gonna be upgrading the ram and then hopefully the graphics card. I've been coming to your channel and really appreciate how helpful it's been. Thanks, dude. Would tbe OLOy DDR4 be a good upgrade for the ram?
Yes just make sure it is the 1.2 or 1.25v ram, other voltage will work.
@@TNW1337 thank you so much. One final question; What if I purchased the same 8gb ram stick that it already came with? I was able to find the product number of the single 8gb ram that is already in my computer. Would that work?

Waiting for that PSU upgrade video!! I think you can run an RTX 3060 off that 400w PSU. i picked up the TG01-2003w

Hello. I don't know if this chat is still very active but I also have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super, Intel Core i3-10100, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Home. I have a 400W PSU. I have already upgraded to 16GB of RAM, 1 HDD and 1 SSD. I see post about the MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. Its the exact one linked in the description of the video. I would love to get it and upgrade from my 1650 Super since I am getting into Unreal Engine 5 development. My concern is that 400W is not enough but I am seeing people in the comments ask and the response is yes I can upgrade. I would like more confirmation on this since it's a big purchase and the Amazon link in the description says you should have at least a 550W PSU.
To add to this. If I do need a bigger PSU which exact GPU can I get on 400W that would be best? Links in the description say RTX2060 Super 8GB Amazon (as stated in the video) but when I click the link in the description it takes me to an RTX2070. I'm just a bit confused as which is wrong? The video or the link? Again this is incase I can't get the RTX 3060 that I want.

I don't know know much about computers, but when I play Half Life Alex in VR, or anything that is more demanding on the pc, I start noticing frame rate issues. What parts should I buy to give my particular pc optimal performance? My question has probably already been answered in this video, but I am computer illiterate...
All good no question is a bad question. You will want to do 2 things. 1st upgrade the PSU to the 500w if you do not have one. 2nd Upgrade to a RX 6700 XT Or RTX 3070 Or RTX 3060 TI. VR Games use a lot of Vram. Vram is the GPUS Ram. Like the Ram you Have for the CPU, so the more the Better Normally. 1660 only come with 6GB and for VR it start to push past that and needs more like 7Gb or 8GB.

I did not but. But I did order every thing to do it. It is still planed.
I understand budget builds. But the companies selling 'gaming' rigs with single channel RAM seem almost predatory
They are going the cheap route they could stick 2x 4Gb dims in. But you are right there is no reason that any newer Cpu/Build would not come with a dual channel ram setup.
Hey I'm not knowledgeable about upgrading these but I wanted to take your advice and purchase more ram. I've already set up the computer for my son's to play their games. Is it still ok to go in and add another stick of ram? Should I remove the one that's in there and put 2 new ones? Or do you keep the one that's in there and just add another one? Will it reset all the setup I've done so far? Thanks if youre able to respond
if you signed up on the HP site with your model number it can tell you what parts came with the PC. Mine is compatible with DDR4 up to 64GB Ram. if I'm being honest I tried looking into upgrading mine and for all costs of the upgrades I'd rather build a new one or buy a newer prebuilt.

For the storage , could I upgrade it to a Corsair MP600 Core M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 3D SSD?
Well it is only PCIe 3.0 but you will still get about 85% the speed on the label. there is no reason it would not work.
try editing afterwards to put the model numbers up on the screen. Doing this in place of listing out the model number will shorten the runtime. Also, try to get the runtime under 15 min.

Not really, Going dual channel will be the best thing you can do. You a nice jump depending on your Gpu and Cpu. I-7 with a 3070 I seen almost a 45-75 Fps gain. Also depends on the game as well. So most will see a 20-40 Fps gain depending on hardware. going from 2666Mhz to 3200Mhz is like a 5-15 Gain. I mean if you can do dual channel and get the speed it is you best bet. But not all of the systems can do the Bios update. It will depend on the motherboard your TG has they have 2 or 3 that they put in the TG AMD Hp's. You will want to google your model number and go to the hp support site not the normal Hp site FYI. When you google look at the site below in green Look for support.hp. Dot some thing.

I am very new to this so maybe I'm confusing something there. Basically what I've been reading is that people buy 3200 RAM but their HP desktop only runs it at 2600. Is this something I should even be thinking about? Is this cleared up with the AMD bios upgrade you mention in the video?
If you want to be a 100% sure that you get that speed, you have to buy hp ram. I have gotten some kits to work. But other have had probldems. The benefits you gain over a single stick out way the speed decrease of the ram. With dual chanle ram, your gaining 30-50 fps in some games. Going from 3200 to 2666 is like 3-5 fps Loss. Also you will see Throughput gains on drive speed, clock cycles, gpu latency & more. The new cpu are ment to be dual channle, Not even sure why hp sends there pcs out with single sticks. They should split it to 2x 4gb sticks for 8gb. Also to get the most out of new titles, 16gb is the sweet spot. Some games use more now, if you give it to them. Memory/ram is like a fast access path way. look at it like this if you live in a big city and the freeway was one lane of traffic it would move pretty slow? What happends when you add a 2 lane ect. Dual channle is like adding 4 lanes for traffic Things start to move a lot faster.
@@TNW1337 Thanks for the reply! That helps me feel okay about getting some RAM and letting it run at the slower speed.

Thank you for the videos, I am interested in putting a gpu in my hp pavilion, it has the 400w psu from hp and also a ryzen 5 5600g. I have also put two 3200 8gb ram sticks in and overclocked it to 3200 with ryzen master. I have been looking at getting a rtx 2060 super or gtx 1660 super, I would rather the 2060 super but when I research it mostly everyone says that i need a bigger psu. What are your thoughts?
hello how did you do for the psu pls
Hi TechNitWit! I have a HP pavilion TG01-0023W do I need to upgrade my power supply to install the ROG STRIX 6600xt I just got?
500watt is better
