MN12DOTNET There you go. whatever works man. I might get a older xw series for a file server. you can get those super cheap amd I already have a couple 3.0Ghz quad core Xeons to put in it.
I'm probably off topic on your video, but my Z820 died as a result of the cable harnesses insulation cracking, and shorting to chassis. This is most at risk with the main power connector (to the MB) as there is a sharp bend here leaving exposed cables right next to lots of metal surrounding!

Although probably not so much of a risk of a short circuit here, but i was surprised to find all the cable insulations cracked exposing the wiring. Despite going over everything I wasn't able to get the PC to work. I decided that the MB must have died? Was only when I remove it I discoverd the broken exposed cables, esp. at the MP connector!

@ducter2001 Good to know, my PSU went out on mine. I still want to use it as a server even though since this I built a gaming PC. I'll pull the motherboard before I replace the PSU and check everything out.
Very nice system. I did have a Intel Skull Trail rig, Dual QX9775 with 8GB of RAM. It was a monster that need a lot of fans, made a lot of noise, and consumed a lot of power. I've since built a new Silver Lake i5 rig but miss my Skulltrail, which has been donated to my younger brother.
Sounds great. I might well get one myself, and see what it's like. The sounds of the cooling in my Skull trail system was a little loud. I've since bought an i5 Skylake system, and wondering if your rig is more powerful than Skylake.
Thats why all the compartments are seperated on the Z800. Stays nice and cool. Never had a problem with heat, even when I was running it as a folding machine. It would run the cpus around 90 percent and the gpu around 80 percent all day.
I know this is old, but still these are great machines for the money once they are off lease they can be purchased for a fraction of the original cost. I purchased the Z620 it came with two E5-2650v2 8 core CPU's one SSD and one iTB HDD plus 96 gb of ECC ram. It also has Win 10 Pro for about 600 dollars. You can upgrade it from there to have 2 E5-2697v2 12 core CPU's and 784 or 786GB of Ram I just can't quite remember what the max is. The next one I get off lease will be a Z8 with 3TB of ram and two 28 core Xeon's but that may be a while as they are still very new. Give it 5 years and it will be the same cost. I love getting high end enterprise gear for cheap. Also p/u a Dell Poweredge T620 Server with dual V2 Xeons as well. That one will run Free Nas. The Z620 is used to do WU's for World Community Grid for cancer research. Love to use my machines for a worthy purpose.
Nice job in your video. I may build myself a little workstation PC to edit video, since my 11 year old ThinkPad, while still good for all my other needs, just can't handle HD video. My MacBook does an okay job, but it takes forever to render.
nice I have the same one, never had to close a window I could toggle games, audio editing, internet, and video editing........thing is a 8 core 16 threaded beast. and for the time they are still pretty decently power efficient.. unless im bench marking all the time the bill is not bad.
Sweet, do you have any videos on yours? If you do post me a link here to check it out. You can not beat these Z800s for the price to performance you can get out of them.
Nice vidoe , before 6 month bout this z800 , mijn has 24GB ram memory and cpu 2x-x5690 , my question how many GB ram memory you had before updating them ?
Excellent! On your earlier video, you rendered out this 24 min video in about 17 min when using Media Encoder. How fast is the rendering using this new setup? For video rendering, which is faster, the GTX 970 or Quadros? Thanks.
+TheEdge008 When it comes to rendering video like gaming or 3d rendering it uses your graphics card, and for me it is not cost effective to use the newer quadro cards vs the GTX because of the price. To encode video like in my video it mainly uses your processor/processors. With the original 2.67GHz processors it took about 12 to 14 minutes to encode a 10 minute 1080p video that was 30fps and rendered at the highest quality. With the new processors that are 3.2GHz it takes 6 to 8 minutes for the same video.
Good job. I am thinking of buying an old workstation HP for graphic intensive work (Not gaming). Is there any significant differences between Z600 (That I am considering buying) or Z800? On the same topic, what about the newer versions Z620 / Z820? Are they very much superior? The price difference could be slight, depending on what is offered for sale so do I need to be picky on the newer versions or any other spects such as CPU type or amount of RAM that they ship with?
The difference in the Z600 vs the Z800 is space inside for drives and extra stuff. I believe it doesn't have as many pci slots and memory slots also. Yes the Z620/820 is superior because of the newer processors and SATA 3, but they are also still expensive and the processors for them are really expensive still. Thats the only reason I didn't get one. The Z800 is still very powerful compared to a normal single cpu desktop and is really cheap.
Thanks a lot for the rapid reply. That was exactly what I needed to know. Repped. You have one more follower and subscriber. The system that I am looking at is a Z600 with dual X5650 2.66GHz, all filled ram slots, two, TB hard drives, ATI video, etc for $450. Am I looking at right deal or should I look farther? Thanks again for all the good job you do.
I just found it. It's called rainmeter. It's a program that gives you different widgets to monitor performance and temps. I just use CPUID and select the option to show the temp and CPU usage in the notification area now. Not as cool but it works on my main pc and laptop without taking up a bunch of my screen on my laptop.
Nice video Not So Samurai. I am looking for a HP Z800. In the local commerce, I found a good option (dual xeon hex-cores, 24 RAM, 2 TB HDD, Quadro FX 1800) for $600 USD. I want this machine for video editing, 3d render (V-ray), gaming sometimes, internet, home media center... but I am worried about the power consumption (PSU 1100 watt). What is the minimal power consumption (idle) of a Z800?
I have the hpz820 my specs are intel xeon e5-2643 v2 3.5 ghz 32gb ddr3 ram quadro 4000 2gb 500gb SSD Im asking for a GTX 1060 founders edition 6gb for xmas and Im going to put 62gb ram and later on a i7-4790k. im going to add 3 tb hdd and 2 512GB SSD
I have got the Intel Xeon E5645 Processor and 48 gb of ram. I use the PC for gaming only. It runs every game without problems. My question is what GPU would you recommend me buying? (At at fair price) :) Thx
Hello I have for workstation Z800 a Intel Xeon X5500 Processors 12 v You posted several years ago. I see a newer list of processors listed in HP forums. Will a intel Xeon X5690 3.46 ghz work? Here is my unit: hp z800 workstation model: ff825av The mainboard is Hewlett-Packard - version 786g5 v03.21 / Chipset Intel 5520 / model - OAECh Thanks!
I have the 003 motherboard. I found info on which cpus you can use with wich motherboards but I can't remember where. Do some searching and Im sure you'll find it.
HI. GOOD PC MAN. CAN YOU TELL ME IHAVE A Z600 WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM CPU COULD I INSTAL IN IT IS IT GOOD TO KEEP MY Z600 OR DO I HAVE TO GET A Z800 OR 820?
DDR3-1333Mhz. I would go with used ECC memory from ebay. It is way cheaper than buying it new. I just scored 48GB of memory for $28 on ebay. 12 x 4GB ECC registered memory. Then I bought 2 spares for another $8.
***** Yes I use a LSI SAS9212-4i4e host bus adapter/raid controller card that gives me 6GB/s and I can run drive in raid of I need to. I got it on ebay for $70. I will be doing a video about it and other upgrades I am doing on the Z800 soon.
Too bad you had to turn on air. I was hoping to get an idea of the noise all those fans make as I am getting a Z820 myself. My impression in your vid is that the Z800 was not audible over the air conditioner?
Good vid. Just ran across one of these and thinking about getting my paws on it and doing some tweaking. What wattage is your power supply? I think these base out with 850 watts but had some higher wattage options. -Also, what do you think about graphics card upgrades? I think there are two free 6 pin connectors for GPU on this?- Edit: Just saw your vid of you adding the 970. Thanks!
SirtubalotTX They have 2 options for the PSU. 850 watt and 1100 watt. I have the 1100 watt. You need the 1100 watt for 2 high watt processors and more then one high wattage graphics card.
Not So Samurai Thanks for the reply. Do you think two X5690s would run ok with an 850 watt as long as there's no heavy GPU? I have those CPUs on the way and was hoping that I could put off getting the 1150 watt until I put the bigger GPU in. Will be running a 750ti until then. The 750ti I have has no power connections whatsoever and runs entirely off the PCIe bus.
SirtubalotTX I dont know if it will run those or not. I guess just try them. Those cpus are supposed to have the high performance heatsinks or water cooling kit also.

I know that this isn't a CPU question, but you seem to know a lot about the HP z800. I have one and just tried to install two WD Black 6TB hard drives in the 3rd and 4th bays. It will only give me 1.5 TB each. I changed the initialization to gpt but that didn't change anything. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
It should work fine as ling as you are not trying to raid them. I had a 4TB drive in mine by it self. Do you have the bays connected to the SATA or SAS controller? Also go into your bios and make sure its not in RAID mode. After that then go into your disk management in windows and see if the extra space is available as unallocated space.
Hi .. because of you I bought one Z800 with great options, but I notice when I'm using Photoshop there is a delay between each time I press new order and BTW it came with windows 10 .. My question do you think if I install windows 7 will be better and smooth .. I have HP laptop and way behind Z800 option and still smoother with Photoshop. Please advice me where is the problem. My Z800 spec are Twin Quad Core 3.2GHz Intel W5580 CPUs with Hyperthreading, A Massive 96GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX 5800 with 4 GB. Hope get a response from you and thank you in advance.
Hello there! What is the best MOBO I can buy to replace the one that comes with the z800? I want it to support DDR4, and intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz CPU. Any Suggestions on MOBOs that will fit this case?
I wouldn't even try it. The case, motherboard and power supply are proprietary and have proprietary okugs and such. You might as well get a new case and start from scratch.
Why would we laugh. Thats a nice deal. Great job on that man. When you get it make a short video showing it offand drop a link in the comments so I can check it out bro.
Though I am having two problems with it, it occasionally freezes up and I get these two error messages before I start up. Error codes: 0xc0000428 and 0xc000000f \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Hello , trying to do the same here and max out bang for the bucks , Have you checked your "Boot Block date" appearing on the start of your Z800 machine doest it says 11/10/2009 or 01/30/2009 ? I have read that only the latest 11/10/2009 could support X56xx CPU upgrade but i also heard that ... not always. thanks
Im currently wondering how your temperatures are on the cpu? with a little load my xeon x5550 goes to 80 degrees in 2~3 mins on the stock cooler even with 100% fan. Do you have the same experience here or is my heatsink broken?
frank124444 Check out my water cooling video. It shows the temps my stock heatsinks got up to and the temps the water cooling kit I installed gets. it is amazing.
with water cooling you get 65 degreeC okay i got that but what where the max temps with original cooling solution? couldnt find those in your video's. just since i want to verify the origanal cooling solution is inadequate of mine is broken .
hi there. i just acquired a z800 and looking to upgrade the memory to 48GB ram for editing. the ram im looking at is the Crucial 4GB 240pin PC3 - 12800. will this work? also i have quadro 600 graphics card, are the new GTX1080s compatible with the z800? thanks!
Yes a GTX1080 shoulsd work just like my 970. I would get the proper memory for it. It uses ECC memory. You can get it pretty cheap on ebay from re sellers. I got registered ECC memory.
thanks! how did you power up you 970 i dont see any 6pin pice power connectors. Are they tucked away somehwere? Also the being HP the power supply is proprietary. Any ideas? as for memory, i found this: www.amazon.com/Hynix-PC3-10600-1333MHz-Registered-HMT351R7BFR8C-H9/dp/B00HJCSWHA or www.amazon.com/HP-PC3-10600-DDR3-1333-Registered-500205-071/dp/B00A8WQKTU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1470348680&sr=8-2&keywords=8gb+registered+ecc
Hai i have a Z800 with 2 hexcore X5675 @ 3.07GHz / 49136 MB triple Chanel 1600mhz reg ram /850W PSU. Will a GTX 980 work ok in my machine? is there anything specific i would need to do or just slip it in n conect the two 6pin connectors. thanks
+qosdevelopment Check out my other videos on the Z800. I have more details on the add in cards on those. I got them from Amazon and I get about 515 MBps read and 375 MBps wright speed with the SSD I have in it, which is around its max speeds.
When I upgraded my CPU's to 5690, it booted up, did not recognize CPU change, and crashed. I think windows needs to be reinstalled or else certain system level files will be set to expect the old CPU and it will either crash or not run at full core clock or count.
Check the quick specs to see compatible processors. For the 125w processors you have to have the 1100w power supply and the high performance heat sinks.

I have not hear of that or checked it when it starts up, but I do know the motherboard revisions. Bases one the serial numbers they always end in 001, 002, or 003. Those are revision 1, 2 and 3. Revision 1 and 2 only support the 5500 Xeons and the revision 3 supports the 5500 and the 5600. When I was looking for my Z800 I did a ton of research on It an found this out and made sure mine was a revision 3 board before I bought it.
ok i have heard its not so systematic, despite what HP staff is saying everywhere , or maybe i just hope ... i bought one onlinne without checking and got a pair of X5672 that i might have to store forever ... or try to sell on the internet .It will be a bit the lottery here i guess. ... here is the thread on HP support web site : h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Workstations-and-Point-of-Sale-Systems/Z800-Upgrade-for-2015/td-p/5067136
Just tried to install the same on the same workstation Z800 but it won't even boot and the rear fans gone mad and went on over drive, do I need to update the BIOS before I install the X5675 ?
You have to make sure you have a revision 3 motherboard. Revision 1 and 2 will only use the 5500 series processors. Google it and you should find the info on it.
@@Notsosamurai1 Thanks for the reply, I believe the CPUs faulty as I updated the BIOS and every attempt of boot up came with errors, blank black screen or frozen windows start up screen, already ordered the same CPU replacement from a different supplier, should be here by the weekend and I'll update you 😊 cheers

Hello I have this machine and recently I had to delete all of my data and reinstall windows because I got a virus but now only one cpu works (before the reinstall both worked) I've been searching for a solution for about a day also I asked the hp support forums but didn't get an answer so now I'm asking here
Here's a question I hope someone can answer. Can this machine support a single i7 or i5 Processor? I am running 2 x5560's but I want to do VR and these Xeon's don't have the AVX instruction set. I know guys have put Xeon Procs on Intel i7 boards with success, does it work the other way around?
Hi, Are there any problems you faced with this build, or something you'd do differently if you done it again. I'm interested in doing something like this build. Thanks for already helping me with previous videos. :)
Its a proprietary hot swappable PSU. Look up some videos on the Z800. There are some down sides to it but there are a lot of up side to it also. You can swap out the power supply in second if it goes bad. Although it will probably never go bad because its built like a tank.
when looking for a new cpu do i just need to find the slb number on the chip and 1366 ? i found set of x5660 SLBV6 LGA 1366 but he dont know what they came out of
just bought my Z800 with dual Xeon x5675, 32GB RAM and a GTX980. But all the fans are rotating at around 1500RPM on idle, also the CPU's get around 75 degree celcius when I open up a game. Is this normal for a Z800?
Hi. A guy in my Country are a selling a Z800 Dual XEON e5620 with 48gb ram...quadro FX ( that I will throw away) for about $1.500..(converting).I know..I nkow to expensive..but unffortunetly, I don´t live in US... land of low prices. This is a good machine or better buy a i7 7700 with 32GB DDR4 with the same configuration?.
Jota Oliver It depend on what you want to do. In that config the i7-7700 would do better with everything. If you upgrade the processors in the Z800 it will do better with video editing but not gaming.
In finland they selling before other shops too that same card. I put that (and SSD) about one year ago to my old DELL PRECISION T3600 workstation (Xeon E5-1620. 16GB DDR3) and still playing very easily every game :)
Ts2 Channel Under full load with how my machine is setup in my later videos it was around 680-700 watts. That aas with synthetic test running the cpus and memory at 100 percent.
Hola tengo un servidor HP z800 el estaba trabajando perferto ahora de la noche a la mañana tu lo prende y se apaga como si desconectara cable de alimentación aveces se demora y aveces lo hace rapido
@@cmj20002 As far as I know you cant overclock these Z800s. I tried when I was upgrading it and it didnt work. The only way would be to use software to overclock and none of them worked for me.
@@Notsosamurai1 Some you can't, but I have not looked at the BIOS yet in mine to see if it is possible. I may be able to get more out of it, but it just may not be worth it in the end. I have seen some do it, but it can damage the CPU and mine has V2 Xeons in it and they are not what I call super cheap yet, so If I try it I will be very careful indeed. These CPU's are locked however the older gen Xeons are not, but some are. I found a list somewhere that showed which ones were unlocked. I have my I7 OC'd pretty high, but it gets really hot, so again not really safe to do it unless it is a 20 cpu and you don't care if you damage it.
Ich habe in meinen HP Z600 2x den XEON X5660 eingebaut, aber der Rechner lässt sich dann immer nur jedes 5-8 mal starten. Ich habe dann jetzt wieder auf die XEON X5550 zurück gebaut. Dazu habe ich auch Videos auf meinem Kanal, aber in Deutsch halt. Vielleicht ist ja hier jemand wo mir helfen kann und weiß warum die XEON X5660 bei mir nicht richtig laufen.

I am actually looking at the X5680 hex cores. I can get a set from ebay for $150 to $220 depending on when I look. I just ordered the water cooling kit from a guy on ebay for $140, brand new never used.
do you have to get water cooling system for this CPU? Do you think the stock coolers will keep it stable and cool enough? I was looking at the x5675 or even going all the way with the x5690 or x5685 just a matter of catching a good deal on ebay. Definately going to get the LSI card for the 6gb disk throughput instead of the 3gb.
Oh, I will have to get in their and get a picture of it later.If I don't by this weekend remind me bro. Send me a message on Facetube or Youbook or what F ever.

@ducter2001 Good to know, my PSU went out on mine. I still want to use it as a server even though since this I built a gaming PC. I'll pull the motherboard before I replace the PSU and check everything out.
Thank bro, love your clip
Very nice system. I did have a Intel Skull Trail rig, Dual QX9775 with 8GB of RAM. It was a monster that need a lot of fans, made a lot of noise, and consumed a lot of power. I've since built a new Silver Lake i5 rig but miss my Skulltrail, which has been donated to my younger brother.
+Matt Auckland I like this one because its a beast and nice and quite,
Sounds great. I might well get one myself, and see what it's like. The sounds of the cooling in my Skull trail system was a little loud. I've since bought an i5 Skylake system, and wondering if your rig is more powerful than Skylake.
+Matt Auckland If your editing and stuff it will be. The more threads of cpu power the better.
Oh, that chassis is packed. I am running a Z600....and she is much better for cooling....better air flow design. Thanks for the video.
Thats why all the compartments are seperated on the Z800. Stays nice and cool. Never had a problem with heat, even when I was running it as a folding machine. It would run the cpus around 90 percent and the gpu around 80 percent all day.
Josh Smith Great to know, Josh. Thanks.
I know this is old, but still these are great machines for the money once they are off lease they can be purchased for a fraction of the original cost. I purchased the Z620 it came with two E5-2650v2 8 core CPU's one SSD and one iTB HDD plus 96 gb of ECC ram. It also has Win 10 Pro for about 600 dollars. You can upgrade it from there to have 2 E5-2697v2 12 core CPU's and 784 or 786GB of Ram I just can't quite remember what the max is. The next one I get off lease will be a Z8 with 3TB of ram and two 28 core Xeon's but that may be a while as they are still very new. Give it 5 years and it will be the same cost. I love getting high end enterprise gear for cheap. Also p/u a Dell Poweredge T620 Server with dual V2 Xeons as well. That one will run Free Nas. The Z620 is used to do WU's for World Community Grid for cancer research. Love to use my machines for a worthy purpose.
Thanks a lot for the video!
Nice job in your video. I may build myself a little workstation PC to edit video, since my 11 year old ThinkPad, while still good for all my other needs, just can't handle HD video. My MacBook does an okay job, but it takes forever to render.
+Sebi's Random Tech Thats why I got this workstation.
Nice video. I just bought a Z600 and a pair of X5675s. Will be quite a nice rig for about $400 :)
Nice score. What are you going to install as far as graphics?
Not So Samurai thanks I thought so too :) I was thinking maybe a GTX 1060 as they are 6-pin pci-e natively or an Rx 480 4GB
I would go for a GTX1070 minimum. THats just me though. You can get a 6pin to 8 pin if you need it for a few bucks. That whatI use for my GTX970.

Nice vidoe , before 6 month bout this z800 , mijn has 24GB ram memory and cpu 2x-x5690 , my question how many GB ram memory you had before updating them ?
Lisa & Orik together Mine came with 12GB of memory. It was 6 x 2GB stick of unregistered memory. I updated it to 24 then 48GB of memory.
Excellent! On your earlier video, you rendered out this 24 min video in about 17 min when using Media Encoder. How fast is the rendering using this new setup?
For video rendering, which is faster, the GTX 970 or Quadros?
Thanks.
+TheEdge008 My bad, I wanted a comparison of rendering speed when using the old processors vs. the new ones on the workstation.
+TheEdge008 When it comes to rendering video like gaming or 3d rendering it uses your graphics card, and for me it is not cost effective to use the newer quadro cards vs the GTX because of the price. To encode video like in my video it mainly uses your processor/processors. With the original 2.67GHz processors it took about 12 to 14 minutes to encode a 10 minute 1080p video that was 30fps and rendered at the highest quality. With the new processors that are 3.2GHz it takes 6 to 8 minutes for the same video.
Good job. I am thinking of buying an old workstation HP for graphic intensive work (Not gaming). Is there any significant differences between Z600 (That I am considering buying) or Z800?

The price difference could be slight, depending on what is offered for sale so do I need to be picky on the newer versions or any other spects such as CPU type or amount of RAM that they ship with?
The difference in the Z600 vs the Z800 is space inside for drives and extra stuff. I believe it doesn't have as many pci slots and memory slots also. Yes the Z620/820 is superior because of the newer processors and SATA 3, but they are also still expensive and the processors for them are really expensive still. Thats the only reason I didn't get one. The Z800 is still very powerful compared to a normal single cpu desktop and is really cheap.
Thanks a lot for the rapid reply. That was exactly what I needed to know. Repped. You have one more follower and subscriber.
The system that I am looking at is a Z600 with dual X5650 2.66GHz, all filled ram slots, two, TB hard drives, ATI video, etc for $450. Am I looking at right deal or should I look farther? Thanks again for all the good job you do.
Sam Sen Thats pretty good, I wpuld grab that and slowly upgrade as you can. Start with video card if its an old one.
Thanks a lot my friend for your priceless advise. Appreciated.
Sam Sen No problem.
nicely done
+bev burton Thanks!
Great Job my friend .. so , what is the name of software you are using for Computer performance ? is it a must to see it from another screen or not ?
I cant remember the name of it. It's a widget type program I found. I dont use it anymore but I'll see if I can find it again.
I just found it. It's called rainmeter. It's a program that gives you different widgets to monitor performance and temps. I just use CPUID and select the option to show the temp and CPU usage in the notification area now. Not as cool but it works on my main pc and laptop without taking up a bunch of my screen on my laptop.
Nice video Not So Samurai.
I am looking for a HP Z800. In the local commerce, I found a good option (dual xeon hex-cores, 24 RAM, 2 TB HDD, Quadro FX 1800) for $600 USD. I want this machine for video editing, 3d render (V-ray), gaming sometimes, internet, home media center... but I am worried about the power consumption (PSU 1100 watt). What is the minimal power consumption (idle) of a Z800?
Don't know the numbers but this makes a lot less heat than the older HP I have next to it. I think the power demands are pretty low in general use.
I have the hpz820
my specs are
intel xeon e5-2643 v2 3.5 ghz
32gb ddr3 ram
quadro 4000 2gb
500gb SSD
Im asking for a GTX 1060 founders edition 6gb for xmas
and Im going to put 62gb ram
and later on a i7-4790k.
im going to add 3 tb hdd and 2 512GB SSD
Sweet, Someday I will upgrade to a 820 or 840.
I have got the Intel Xeon E5645 Processor and 48 gb of ram. I use the PC for gaming only. It runs every game without problems. My question is what GPU would you recommend me buying? (At at fair price) :)
Thx

Have you checked compatibility with this processor - intel X5690 ?
Ya it will work if you have the 1100w psu and high performance heatsinks or the water cooling kit.
Nice!
I have the 003 motherboard. I found info on which cpus you can use with wich motherboards but I can't remember where. Do some searching and Im sure you'll find it.
HI. GOOD PC MAN. CAN YOU TELL ME IHAVE A Z600 WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM CPU COULD I INSTAL IN IT IS IT GOOD TO KEEP MY Z600 OR DO I HAVE TO GET A Z800 OR 820?
Ya they are fine to keep. I believe the best cpu you can use is the Xeon X5660 six core
whats the fastest ram the hp z800 can handle? thanks! great video !
DDR3-1333Mhz. I would go with used ECC memory from ebay. It is way cheaper than buying it new. I just scored 48GB of memory for $28 on ebay. 12 x 4GB ECC registered memory. Then I bought 2 spares for another $8.
***** Yes I use a LSI SAS9212-4i4e host bus adapter/raid controller card that gives me 6GB/s and I can run drive in raid of I need to. I got it on ebay for $70. I will be doing a video about it and other upgrades I am doing on the Z800 soon.
man, where are you gone?
Can you make a video showing game performance, Overwatch and other games.
I don't have overwatch. What other games are you looking for?
Too bad you had to turn on air. I was hoping to get an idea of the noise all those fans make as I am getting a Z820 myself. My impression in your vid is that the Z800 was not audible over the air conditioner?
Air is fine , but his heat sinks have just 2 heat pipes , that is way to low ! i have those with 5 heat pipes and it is very silence
I have my Z820 now and, yes, even under full load it's very quiet. My max clock is 3.1 GHz but at 40 threads they kick ass.
Good vid. Just ran across one of these and thinking about getting my paws on it and doing some tweaking.
What wattage is your power supply? I think these base out with 850 watts but had some higher wattage options.
-Also, what do you think about graphics card upgrades? I think there are two free 6 pin connectors for GPU on this?-
Edit: Just saw your vid of you adding the 970. Thanks!
SirtubalotTX They have 2 options for the PSU. 850 watt and 1100 watt. I have the 1100 watt. You need the 1100 watt for 2 high watt processors and more then one high wattage graphics card.
Not So Samurai Thanks for the reply. Do you think two X5690s would run ok with an 850 watt as long as there's no heavy GPU? I have those CPUs on the way and was hoping that I could put off getting the 1150 watt until I put the bigger GPU in. Will be running a 750ti until then. The 750ti I have has no power connections whatsoever and runs entirely off the PCIe bus.
SirtubalotTX I dont know if it will run those or not. I guess just try them. Those cpus are supposed to have the high performance heatsinks or water cooling kit also.
Nice video Not So Samurai.

I know that this isn't a CPU question, but you seem to know a lot about the HP z800. I have one and just tried to install two WD Black 6TB hard drives in the 3rd and 4th bays. It will only give me 1.5 TB each. I changed the initialization to gpt but that didn't change anything. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
It should work fine as ling as you are not trying to raid them. I had a 4TB drive in mine by it self. Do you have the bays connected to the SATA or SAS controller? Also go into your bios and make sure its not in RAID mode. After that then go into your disk management in windows and see if the extra space is available as unallocated space.
Hi .. because of you I bought one Z800 with great options, but I notice when I'm using Photoshop there is a delay between each time I press new order and BTW it came with windows 10 .. My question do you think if I install windows 7 will be better and smooth .. I have HP laptop and way behind Z800 option and still smoother with Photoshop. Please advice me where is the problem. My Z800 spec are Twin Quad Core 3.2GHz Intel W5580 CPUs with Hyperthreading, A Massive 96GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX 5800 with 4 GB. Hope get a response from you and thank you in advance.
Sent ya a reply on my other video. My photoshop works fine with windows 10. I;d get ahold of adobe and have them help you troubleshoot it.
very owesome video thanks it can run all heavy game pls tell me
If you have decent cups in it and a good graphics card ya it will.
Hello there! What is the best MOBO I can buy to replace the one that comes with the z800? I want it to support DDR4, and intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz CPU. Any Suggestions on MOBOs that will fit this case?
I wouldn't even try it. The case, motherboard and power supply are proprietary and have proprietary okugs and such. You might as well get a new case and start from scratch.
I just got a Z800 from eBay! Dual X5675 CPU, 48 gigs of RAM, Quadro 4000....Before the laughing and mocking begins, I got this for 630 dollars!
Why would we laugh. Thats a nice deal. Great job on that man. When you get it make a short video showing it offand drop a link in the comments so I can check it out bro.
Though I am having two problems with it, it occasionally freezes up and I get these two error messages before I start up. Error codes: 0xc0000428 and 0xc000000f \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Reinstall windows.
Hello , trying to do the same here and max out bang for the bucks , Have you checked your "Boot Block date" appearing on the start of your Z800 machine doest it says 11/10/2009 or 01/30/2009 ? I have read that only the latest 11/10/2009 could support X56xx CPU upgrade but i also heard that ... not always. thanks
Im currently wondering how your temperatures are on the cpu? with a little load my xeon x5550 goes to 80 degrees in 2~3 mins on the stock cooler even with 100% fan. Do you have the same experience here or is my heatsink broken?
frank124444 Check out my water cooling video. It shows the temps my stock heatsinks got up to and the temps the water cooling kit I installed gets. it is amazing.
with water cooling you get 65 degreeC okay i got that but what where the max temps with original cooling solution? couldnt find those in your video's. just since i want to verify the origanal cooling solution is inadequate of mine is broken

hi there. i just acquired a z800 and looking to upgrade the memory to 48GB ram for editing. the ram im looking at is the Crucial 4GB 240pin PC3 - 12800. will this work? also i have quadro 600 graphics card, are the new GTX1080s compatible with the z800? thanks!
Yes a GTX1080 shoulsd work just like my 970. I would get the proper memory for it. It uses ECC memory. You can get it pretty cheap on ebay from re sellers. I got registered ECC memory.
thanks! how did you power up you 970 i dont see any 6pin pice power connectors. Are they tucked away somehwere? Also the being HP the power supply is proprietary. Any ideas? as for memory, i found this:
www.amazon.com/Hynix-PC3-10600-1333MHz-Registered-HMT351R7BFR8C-H9/dp/B00HJCSWHA
or
www.amazon.com/HP-PC3-10600-DDR3-1333-Registered-500205-071/dp/B00A8WQKTU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1470348680&sr=8-2&keywords=8gb+registered+ecc
andre rubang That HP 8GB is not to bad. The 4GB DIMMs are kind of expensive. I would look on ebay. And yes there are 2 6 pin connectors.
I'm guessing you can't install an i9 processor on one of these?
No, Xeon only.
Hai i have a Z800 with 2 hexcore X5675 @ 3.07GHz / 49136 MB triple Chanel 1600mhz reg ram /850W PSU. Will a GTX 980 work ok in my machine? is there anything specific i would need to do or just slip it in n conect the two 6pin connectors. thanks
It should work fine. I believe with the 850W psu you can use a card that draws 225W max.The GTX980 is supposed to only draw 165W according to Nvidia.
what is the controller SATA 3 model that you use? I search one actually for my z800, do you have good perf with ssd on it ?
+qosdevelopment Check out my other videos on the Z800. I have more details on the add in cards on those. I got them from Amazon and I get about 515 MBps read and 375 MBps wright speed with the SSD I have in it, which is around its max speeds.
Does your z800 take a few minutes to boot after installing the x5672? Rebooting on mine can take up to 3 minutes.
It will take a little longer when installing new hardware sometimes.
When I upgraded my CPU's to 5690, it booted up, did not recognize CPU change, and crashed. I think windows needs to be reinstalled or else certain system level files will be set to expect the old CPU and it will either crash or not run at full core clock or count.
Question: For a HP Z800, with a 2.4Ghz proc, can you upgrade it to 3.6/3.8 Ghz?
Check the quick specs to see compatible processors. For the 125w processors you have to have the 1100w power supply and the high performance heat sinks.
Hello , trying to do the same and max out bang for the bucks , Have you checked your "Boot Block date" appearing on the start of your Z800 machine doest it says 11/10/2009 or 01/30/2009 ?

or any 6Cores CPUs upgrade basically.
I have not hear of that or checked it when it starts up, but I do know the motherboard revisions. Bases one the serial numbers they always end in 001, 002, or 003. Those are revision 1, 2 and 3. Revision 1 and 2 only support the 5500 Xeons and the revision 3 supports the 5500 and the 5600. When I was looking for my Z800 I did a ton of research on It an found this out and made sure mine was a revision 3 board before I bought it.
ok i have heard its not so systematic, despite what HP staff is saying everywhere , or maybe i just hope ... i bought one onlinne without checking and got a pair of X5672 that i might have to store forever ... or try to sell on the internet .It will be a bit the lottery here i guess. ... here is the thread on HP support web site : h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Workstations-and-Point-of-Sale-Systems/Z800-Upgrade-for-2015/td-p/5067136
Those are the CPUs I have now. I want to upgrade to the X5690s but they going for around $350 a set on ebay.
Do the CPUs not work in your Z800s? Thos are not bad CPUs.
hey what motherboard do you have 460838-003 or 460838-002 because im wondering if on 460838-002 you can install dual e5645
Ok thanks
Just tried to install the same on the same workstation Z800 but it won't even boot and the rear fans gone mad and went on over drive, do I need to update the BIOS before I install the X5675 ?
You have to make sure you have a revision 3 motherboard. Revision 1 and 2 will only use the 5500 series processors. Google it and you should find the info on it.
@@Notsosamurai1 Thanks for the reply, I believe the CPUs faulty as I updated the BIOS and every attempt of boot up came with errors, blank black screen or frozen windows start up screen, already ordered the same CPU replacement from a different supplier, should be here by the weekend and I'll update you 😊 cheers
nice, im doing something similar.
Cool, let me know how you set it up. Make a video if you can and throw me a link.

Hello I have this machine and recently I had to delete all of my data and reinstall windows because I got a virus but now only one cpu works (before the reinstall both worked) I've been searching for a solution for about a day also I asked the hp support forums but didn't get an answer so now I'm asking here
Make sure have the Pro version of windows installed not the home version. Also make sure it show both CPUs and all your memory in BIOS.
Here's a question I hope someone can answer. Can this machine support a single i7 or i5 Processor? I am running 2 x5560's but I want to do VR and these Xeon's don't have the AVX instruction set. I know guys have put Xeon Procs on Intel i7 boards with success, does it work the other way around?
Never heard of it being done or that it can be done. No idea man.
Hi,
Are there any problems you faced with this build, or something you'd do differently if you done it again.
I'm interested in doing something like this build.
Thanks for already helping me with previous videos. :)
+Robert Stephens The only thing I want to change is getting 2 of the 6 core cpus and some larger hard drives including the SSD.
what type of PSU does the z800 uses , is it a regular psu or its HP proprietary
Its a proprietary hot swappable PSU. Look up some videos on the Z800. There are some down sides to it but there are a lot of up side to it also. You can swap out the power supply in second if it goes bad. Although it will probably never go bad because its built like a tank.
Is the ecc ram good for gaming ???
i have hp z210
- Xeon E3-1240
- 8GB Ecc ram
- nvs 300 512 MB
- 400W PSU
Can i buy the gtx 1050 ti for this psu ????
It as good as normal memory its just more stable because its error correcting and made to run at full speed for long periods of time.
when looking for a new cpu do i just need to find the slb number on the chip and 1366 ? i found set of x5660 SLBV6 LGA 1366 but he dont know what they came out of
kriss fly it doesn't matter what they came out of as long as its the right cpu. Which those are for a Z800.
sweet! thank you
just bought my Z800 with dual Xeon x5675, 32GB RAM and a GTX980.
But all the fans are rotating at around 1500RPM on idle, also the CPU's get around 75 degree celcius when I open up a game.
Is this normal for a Z800?
Thats not bad.
What is the performance of it in editing?
Hi. A guy in my Country are a selling a Z800 Dual XEON e5620 with 48gb ram...quadro FX ( that I will throw away) for about $1.500..(converting).I know..I nkow to expensive..but unffortunetly, I don´t live in US... land of low prices. This is a good machine or better buy a i7 7700 with 32GB DDR4 with the same configuration?.
Jota Oliver It depend on what you want to do. In that config the i7-7700 would do better with everything. If you upgrade the processors in the Z800 it will do better with video editing but not gaming.
What version is that GeForce Card?
It is the reference Nvidea Geforce GTX970. YOu can only buy them at best buy for some reason.
In finland they selling before other shops too that same card. I put that (and SSD) about one year ago to my old DELL PRECISION T3600 workstation (Xeon E5-1620. 16GB DDR3) and still playing very easily every game :)
mine had the pny quadro 2000. 5gbs of graphics
Why would you not build your own machine?
Arbi Amiri Because for the performance per dollar you can't for this cheap.
I bought an entire machine for the price equal to just the motherboard or the case. Not to mention the Z800 case is really nice.
I am about to buy Z800 now. Am I too late?
No they are still a good system for video editing and stuff like that.
@@Notsosamurai1 Got mine delivered today!
How many watt for your power supply?
Ts2 Channel Under full load with how my machine is setup in my later videos it was around 680-700 watts. That aas with synthetic test running the cpus and memory at 100 percent.
hello sir . please i need to know if i play game at HP-Z800 the 2 CPU will work or single CPU ?
Ya it uses both CPUs.
+Not So Samurai thanks sit
i will get 2 xeon x5670 will it be better than i5 ??
+-HeMa2111- sir**
even 1 x5650 is better than i7 (4 core) on gaming by its low cpu usage.

Mine came with an 1100w PSU.
can you overclock your cpu in this motherboard?
No
@@Notsosamurai1 You can to a point, but you have to know how. Plus not all MB will support OC. In the case of these it really isn't needed as well.
@@cmj20002 As far as I know you cant overclock these Z800s. I tried when I was upgrading it and it didnt work. The only way would be to use software to overclock and none of them worked for me.
@@Notsosamurai1 Some you can't, but I have not looked at the BIOS yet in mine to see if it is possible. I may be able to get more out of it, but it just may not be worth it in the end. I have seen some do it, but it can damage the CPU and mine has V2 Xeons in it and they are not what I call super cheap yet, so If I try it I will be very careful indeed. These CPU's are locked however the older gen Xeons are not, but some are. I found a list somewhere that showed which ones were unlocked. I have my I7 OC'd pretty high, but it gets really hot, so again not really safe to do it unless it is a 20 cpu and you don't care if you damage it.
Can it run Crysis?
Nothing can run crysis, lol.
Ich habe in meinen HP Z600 2x den XEON X5660 eingebaut, aber der Rechner lässt sich dann immer nur jedes 5-8 mal starten. Ich habe dann jetzt wieder auf die XEON X5550 zurück gebaut.

Hi. You should choose X5660 cause ther have six cores 12 threads :P

I am actually looking at the X5680 hex cores. I can get a set from ebay for $150 to $220 depending on when I look. I just ordered the water cooling kit from a guy on ebay for $140, brand new never used.
do you have to get water cooling system for this CPU? Do you think the stock coolers will keep it stable and cool enough? I was looking at the x5675 or even going all the way with the x5690 or x5685 just a matter of catching a good deal on ebay. Definately going to get the LSI card for the 6gb disk throughput instead of the 3gb.
what motherboard is that?
It's the the stock motherboard that the Z800 comes with. Or do you mean which revision is it? If thats what you meant its a 003.
Not So Samurai I meant the model number
Oh, I will have to get in their and get a picture of it later.If I don't by this weekend remind me bro. Send me a message on Facetube or Youbook or what F ever.
