Something you may not know is you need to use very specific RAM called 3200AA for these HP Victus PCs, otherwise it will run at 2133mhz rather than 3200mhz, which means you'll lose a good chunk of performance. You usually can find an 8GB stick online for like $15-20. Also make sure you don't get laptop RAM on accident; the desktop ram is longer and shorter than laptop RAM.
Thanks for that info. It's running at 2400mhz currently. I never thought to check to see that the speed changed. I appreciate the feedback!
I just want a double check that this is accurate. I was two seconds from buying a Ram kit. I admittedly have no idea what I'm talking about. I haven't tried to build or upgrade a PC in 20 years, probably.
Here are two links to find a 16gb set or just a single 8gb stick to add to the original. These work without slowing down the ram speed! Hope this helps!
A-Tech 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 MHz UDIMM PC4-25600 (PC4-3200AA) CL22 DIMM Non-ECC Desktop RAM Memory Modules a.co/d/gCyuGhP
A-Tech 8GB RAM Replacement for Crucial CT8G4DFRA32A | DDR4 3200MHz PC4-25600 UDIMM Non-ECC 1.2V 288-Pin Memory Module a.co/d/2l4vscW
@bradfordskeldorado I've been googleing like crazy for a while now. I can't find anything about 3200aa and victus. I did find a video saying the victus line uses 1.2v ram slots. So to use 1.2v ram. Also found that ddr4 above 1.2v is basically factory overclocked. So if hp limits the ram slots to 1.2v. Then that makes sense. Why the higher voltage ram can't hit it's basically overclocked spec. Just like adjusting the voltage to overclock a cpu. Just a thought. It makes a $50 difference for a 2x16 kit.
So something with the AA ram causes it to be set to 3200mhz. The factory bios is default to that speed amd cannot be chNged so if you put the 1.35v stick that is ECC ram then it will reduce the speed. The ram in the link I commented above is non-ecc that is the same as the factory stick that HP puts in so it will run at 3200mhz and not reduce down to 2400mhz.
I am glad you touched on the ventilation. On mine I added a case fan over the vent and I got a better heatsink and fan, it definitely made a difference. Overall a great budget gaming computer or starter. Seems like HP wants you to add upgrades.
It definitely seems that way. I'm sure for the cost of this pc, they cut as much cost as they could but also allows for early wear, so you come back in a couple years to buy the next generation pc 😄
Same! But only a 80mm fan fit the side panel. I re-thermal pasted, added a side fan, and the system stopped randomly rebooting during game play.
Nice! I would like to see about some options for a different cooler but I haven't dealt with this pc in a couple weeks
Awesome video, just bought this one for my 12 year old as his first Gaming PC for Christmas. Your video really puts me at ease and also let’s me know I can tweak this thing if need be. Subscribed!
Perfect for a first pc and your kid can learn how to do some easy upgrades like ram and storage install that's cheap and makes a big difference! Let me know if you want some links to the beat products for cheap!
thanks! Great video, it was helpfull keep up the good work 😄👍
Thanks for the review! it would be awesome if you could test the average fps on rust. I plan on playing it a lot when I get my hands on this pc
Nice video - i recently added an noctua 92 mm fan on the black bracket and the case is much more cooler now :)
Nice! Every little bit helps with this small case!
I just picked one of these up from Walmart on clearance for $175 I'm really excited cause this PC is decent stock, a few little upgrades and it's a steal!
That's insane! $175! Great buy!
Thanks bro -- extremely helpful! I appreciated the details on removing the GPU!
Great video! Looks like a cool setup at a good price.
It's an amazing deal for someone just starting out and getting into pc gaming! 😎
Yo my guy you are the first review of this pc that I’ve actually like. All my f the other reviews I’ve seen have been with games that don’t stress anything. I do have a question as for a suggestion. Have you tried dead by daylight? I would love to see what you have to say about that games performance.
I've never played DBD... but I could definitely check it out and see how this thing does! I typically like to find games that have a built in benchmark but I'll post an update soon with some numbers! Thanks for the compliment and input!
Just got one on my local fb market place with 32 gb of corsair ram for 200 bucks! Barley used as well! Super excited! Going to add a 2060 to it down the line, or if I can find the hp 500 watt psu I might add something a little stronger!
Hi thanks for the review👍 would like to know if will run warframe in high settings
Mine Was 600$ overall it plays pretty great 👍🏽 I upgraded the RAM to Corsair 16 gb ram DDr4 and it went from great to phenomenal im happy with my purchase
I got lucky with a holiday sale but this pc is great for everything you get. Especially compared to the $500-$700 range of pcs you get on Amazon! 🤣
@@bradfordskeldorado with the 16 gb it's phenomenal tbh 😆 can every play every single heavy game without spending 1500-2500$
That's the single best upgrade you can do and it's cheap! I'm a huge fan of it. Along with the ability to upgrade the gpu and having the 8 pin connector along with the additional hook ups for additional storage is so nice.
@@bradfordskeldorado I have an 1tb internal SSD portal hard drive connected so I don't have to worry about storage 😂
It's fantastic, I'll be waiting for your test with the rtx 4060 and if you can, do a stress test with occt
I've never heard of OCCT but I'll definitely test it out!

Here is the new test with the RTX 4060!
The upgrade you did want big enough for me to consider upgrading
Are you talking about the 2060 gpu and the ram? The 300w power supply has its limitations, so with the pc, there isn't a lot of head room to upgrade a lot.
@@bradfordskeldorado I'm only seeing a 18ish fps gain on the harder to run games. The AAA titles will very and the Rx card is running them at high rates already. Then your running into heat issues with the 2060? Probably best to game it out for a year or two then sell it for 300 and with the money you saved in those years get a better pc
The whole aim was to show that you have the ability to upgrade with the power cables that are included. It was a gpu I had laying around. I purchased this pc just to test it, and show the capabilities. This is not a pc I use daily
Great video bro keep going
Thank you for watching and support! Have a good one! 👏
hi! liked and subscribed. very good video. great that you tested all of those games. pretty decent numbers, I guess. but, I don't have any of those games to compare to. the only game I play is Medal of Honor multiplayer and nobody uses that for testing nowadays even though it's been revived and remastered. so, I usually look for some benchmark tests. there are some free, really good, fun, interesting and super informative tests out there. I wish we could all just agree on one or two instead of 10 to use, for easier comparisons, but oh well. personally, I like the Cinebench R23. it's quick, easy and offers some other rigs to compare to. so far on that one, I laid down a highest of 16,625 for multicore and a 1,400 single core with the Game boost(basically 1click overclocking offered by most aftermarket mobos), activated. the results seem to vary with every one of these benchmark apps, tho. and I noticed a tiny drop in numbers when I record the test in the background. so, the tests that I've posted on my channel show lower results. I like the 3D Mark Time Spy a lot, too. that thing tells you a ton of stuff. my score on that averages about 9,900. CPU average is about 12,000. the GPU scores average about 61 FPS. Unigine Valley 1.0 is fun, too. average score about 9,000. min FPS about 54. max FPS about 345. Unigine Heaven 2.0 is fun, too. scores averages around 7,300. FPS about 286. min FPS about 68. max FPS about 862.
my set up was about twice the cost of yours, of course. I spent $1,118 for parts, shipping and taxes. I have a video on each part cost and also video of the complete unit. I'm not sure up I'm a game nut or a computer nut, lol. my rig isn't high end, per se, but, it's upper middle with my Intel i9 10900k, MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge wifi mobo (supports up to 4800mhz RAM and a i9 11900k CPU), EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti SC GPU, Corsair Pro RBG 32GB 36000 Mhz RAM, Vetroo S210 ATX MTcase w/6 RBG fans, Vetroo Lurker V240 CPU water cooler, Rosewill 1200w PSU. it runs super cool. I just finished it. I'm about to start doing some testing on overclocking the GPU, but, I'm hesitant because the built in FPS counter in my Medal of Honor, blips up to 3,000 FPS! but! that makes my low internet symbol flash like a strobe light. I have to keep turning down my max FPS setting in console to about 400 to quiet down that light from having kittens 😸
I have terrible turtle wifi that's free with my stupid apartment. getting high speed internet is, so far, not available in the rough neighborhood, that I live in, hhhhhhhhh.
I guess, to summarize. how about a benchmark test or two, also?
I will look to see what other videos you have. don't forget!? Medal of Honor is still around, free to download(mymoh.tk)
remastered, no CD needed. I have how to videos on how to download skin, blood and HD mod, too. I am Ober Gilstrap 88 and I approve this message.
I have only ever messed with unigine heaven as far as benchmarks but I would totally be down to do a short and get cinebench numbers on this prebuilt! I truly appreciate the sub and the detailed input in your responses. A 1080 in my opinion is still very relevant for gaming and paired with an I9 10900k is a monster gaming pc! I'll be sure to stop by and check out your channel! I'm still learning the flow of making the videos and always appreciate the input that people give on my content! Thank you sir and have a great day!
@@bradfordskeldorado wow, thank you! you, sir, are too kind. awesome. the only game I play is Medal of Honor. and nobody ever uses that for any benchmark testing. so the only way I can compare anything is if they do the Cinebench R23, the Heaven 2.0, or the Valley 1.0. some guys use a Heaven 4.0 and that isn't free so, I'm not sure what they're thinking. I can only imagine a handful of people that would use the paid one, when several great free ones are available. I wonder what their target audience is. or do they do it so most of us can't tell what a piece of crap they just built? a video the other day had a guy showing off a rig that he built to show off how great he was with building a pc with a $1,000 budget. I thought ok, perfect. my build was $1,118 including taxes and shipping. well, my machine crushed his. I had about double his Cinebench R23 score and 2,000 more on another one. and his groupies were writing in, saying how awesome he was and one guy wrote in say how he had built 25+ computers and how impressed he was at this one thousand dollar build. I'm thinking what a bunch of knuckle heads. I trashed the "pro" making the video with my first try. I had only been studying pcs for 7 months, bought all the parts and bada Bing bada boom. killed the guy with 50 how to videos. anyways, on my Medal of Honor built in FPS counter, I've seen it briefly blip up to 3,000 Frames per second. I'm not kidding. but, my low internet light is having a stroke it's flashing so hard. like a strobe light. I have terrible free wifi here where I live. so to get my game playable, I have to keep turning down my FPS until that light stops flashing. earlier for some reason the wifi was happy and I opened up the throttle to a high of 800 FPS and it was awesome. I was kicking ass. I beat up 2 guys at once. but, later on the wifi got bitchy, so I had to turn it down to 400 to play. I'm going to do some testing, comparing the FPS on my stupid 60Hz refresh smart tv to the monitor that I just bought with a 180mhz refresh rate. I'm looking for to that. then, I'm gonna kill myself to find some freakin high speed internet on the rough part of town that I live in. they've all said, oh no, we don't have any lines in that neighborhood, yet. we'll put you on our list when we do, we'll let you know. ya, right you will. do you play MOH?
This is actually a solid PC at that price point. Would be a great entry level setup for someone.
That B roll was looking Clean my dude! Miss you homie. Hope all is well. Glad to see your still out here killing it man!
Thanks man! This PC is truly a great deal for someone that's just looking to casually game and not break the bank! I have been doing great brother! How is the media stuff going for you? I hope you're doing great my man!
@@bradfordskeldorado been insanely busy actually. Stopped doing videography and am doing photography solely these days.
I’ve had the itch to get back on the UA-cam grind though. Crazy enough was thinking about doing pc builds and then wa la… I see my boy Bradford in the space 😂😂. I subbed homie. Looking forward to more videos man! Hit me up any time on discord or Ig or whatever bro!
Pc content is fun but can get pricey. If you get into it then we need to hop in the cord and chat about some ideas. Maybe collab and do something together!
@@bradfordskeldorado absolutely bro!!! Yeah that’s kind what worries me about it 😂. I’ve considered opening a shop locally just due to there’s zero computer shops in my area and I’m in a pretty fast growing city. Thought if I could do custom builds through the shop I could afford it that way… we are way aways from that though. If that ever goes down though I’ll definitely be hitting you up.
I really appreciate the video. I’m waiting for this to arrive. Got it for my 10 year old son.
I just got a victus 15L. With the i7 12700f rtx 3060 and 16 gigs of ram for $460. I added a 8gig stick of ram and a 1tb ssd . So now it's 24gb 3200 ram 1tb hhd, 256gb nvme, 1tb sata ssd 12th gen i7 and a 3060 all for $500. Got the deal af a lifetime.
😳 Yo! That's an amazing deal! It's not often you come across something like that but when you do... you strike! Good stuff!
Where did you find that deal?!!?
I know a lot of people come off of ebay but I have seen that more with the 5600g and the rx 6400 around $300
Hey im using that pc rn lol it's a really good pc I just upgraded the ssd and ram but good video!
It really is a great pc! You really get a lot of good stuff with the ability to upgrade it very easily. What games do you play and have you had any issues so far?
@@bradfordskeldorado no issues but also had to upgrade the ssd cuz of some issues like files not Saving so I added a hdd and a new ssd since it was when I just got it. I was wondering if it can run a 2060 with the 350w psu?
Absolutely can run a 2060! I had one on the 300W power supply and I didn't have any issues at all!
@@bradfordskeldorado alr well thank you so much!!!
Very good review and demonstration. This pc was on my list in my budget to replace my 10 year old one. Small question, would it be ok to buy a single 8gb stick of ram to add to the pc or do I have to buy 2 new ones like you showed in the video?
You can find single 8gb sticks but I have found that a single stick from stores like Best Buy sell them for $40. It's easier to get a dual stick set on Amazon for $40 so I went with that and they are RGB so I was hoping they would glow through the side ventilation a little more haha. Thank you so much for the compliments! I enjoy feedback no matter good or bad so thank you!
@@bradfordskeldorado Thank you. It was $600 at my walmart but still seemed like a good deal so I bought it.
Nice! Still a great deal for everything you get!
i got one of these and dropped a 3060 in this with 32gb of trident ram. it screams and i can get ultra settings on CP2077. Also i changed out the back fan with a noctua NF-A9 92mm fan to pull more heat. This is was a great deal and a fun little PC
Sounds like a ripper! Did you get a two fan or a three fan modle? I'm a fan of this pc for sure!
2 fan, im actually impressed with this littel thing. on 1080p with 144hz im getting a 100+ FPS. i was shocked@@bradfordskeldorado
@gawrysh1975 I have a shorts video testing a 4060 and it really woke this little pc up. I haven't tried cp2077 yet but I bets its a lot better than the 20fps I got with the rx6400 lmao!
i have one, it works perfectly, if you are on a budget get this, and if you want a little more performance i recommend you get another 8gb stick, i added a 2tb wd blue hdd to the pc.
I got mine with an intel arc 380 and so far for what I game it does everything. I love how I been able to play Mario Kart 8 and let’s go pikachu at 1440p without lag. As far pc game I think I can stick with demanding games on my ps5
I was looking at the newer version with the intel gpu because I haven't owned one of those gpus yet. That extra memory and performance is probably a huge improvement on the RX6400! Thanks for stopping by!
what kinds of graphics cards would you recommend for upgrading aside from the 2060? I've mostly been searching around for good budget options for an upgrade but don't know as much about PC building yet.
Check out the short I did on the 4060 for $299. It is a bigger purchase but you always want to buy nice or buy twice. The 4060 is is super efficient for the 350w psu and it provides great performance!

Hello i just watched your video and i like it.. however i want to buy this exact same model with gtx 1660 super and ryzen 5 5600g do you recommend such a purchase for the long run ? Is it good to use it for some heavy gaming.. and would there be any issues with the setup considering that the motherboard is not for gaming at all .. pls i am really stuck here 😞
My only concern for the 1660 super version is that some that I have seen only have 1 hdmi hook up and a dvi port. The reference card they use is very limited. I don't know exactly what you have in mind for heavy gaming. I just did a quick test on the games shown and haven't used the pc much more since testing. All of the components are suitable for gaming so I don't think you would have any issues and you always have a little room to upgrade in the future! I hope this helps
add more ram, should give you some extra performance, lots of games like Cyberpunk 2077 say 8gb ram minimum and 12 recommended but by just making it 16GB or 32GB Ram you'll see the responsiveness of the PC improve from a tiny bit to a lot depending on the app or game you're running, Games are loaded to your SSD so that's already way better than even the fastest Hard Drive, I have Exos and they are almost as fast as 2nd Gen SSD but nothing beats that NVMe M.2 Looking to buy one tonight as I type, on sale for $399.00 great video
Managed to get this pc from Walmart clearance for $280. It was such a steal honestly
Nice! That's a great deal!
Nice I have one sitting on clearance at my store by me for 399$ maybe if I wait a little longer it’ll go cheaper ?
@joshuamullent313 that's not a bad price but I have certainly seen some good clearance deals on this pc.
hey thanks for this guy :) i have two but like to upgrade the gpu also did you upgrade the psu ? for the RTX 2060 ?
No, the psu is still the same 350W unit that came with it. I don't recommend this gpu in this pc. I am about to release another short testing the new RTX 4060 and you would be much happier with this. At $299 this gpu brings this little power house to life! Also, the 4060 has a power consumption of 110W vs the 2060 being 165W so less power better performance!
ua-cam.com/users/shortst6Pn6k-kEDA?feature=share
This is the test of the RTX 4060!
I’d buy it for sure!
I just picked up another stray
You advise me which power supply on amazon in 500w for this box because it is small ... ( + RX 6600 8 GB )
Regarding CP 2077, I think downgrading the settings to Medium or Low would yield significantly better results. High graphics tends to have diminishing returns compared to medium settings, and the CPU is more than capable of pushing 50-60 fps without the GPU bottleneck.
I agree you would have better numbers with reducing the settings but doing a benchmark on high shows that the pc can handle the game without stuttering and also its only up from where I tested it. If you want to lower settings, you at least know your system can run it. I personally get tired of seeing people lower settings just to get high fps as a measure vs a good quality graphics and game stability! I appreciate the feedback!
@@bradfordskeldorado so would you say this pc is worth buying?
If you can find it on sale for $500 or on ebay then I would totally recommend this for a budget pc with a little room for upgrades!
@@bradfordskeldorado thank you. I was trying to find some Benchmarks on this because I am curious if it could run battlefield 2042 which is mainly what I want to play on the pc
I probably should buy that game to include in benchmarks for future vids 🤔 Do you have a budget you're trying to stay within? This pc is good for a cheap prebuilt but future upgrades like the psu, motherboard and case will limit you. I would recommend piecing together a pc for about $700-$800 and you can get an overall better pc with the ability to upgrade over time!
Very helpful video @bradfordskeldorado, thx. Does this PC support dual monitors out of the box? Looks like it has 1 HDMI port and 1 DisplayPort. I have little experience with DisplayPort and think my monitors support only HDMI and VGA. Would I need a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter?
Also, if I heard correctly it sounded like you said this PC has Wifi 6 but everything I have read online says this model has Wifi 5. Can you confirm yours has 6? Thx in advance if you're able to respond!
It does support dual monitor and you can find a cheap display port to hdmi cable for around $10. Also, I just know it has wifi, I don't know what kind of wifi to be honest lol. I will try to verify to see if it is 5 or 6
Hi, Brad! I have a intel i7, 6400, 32 gigs of raM, a WD NVMe, an amd rx580 and my boss wants my computer. Will this victus model lag behind it or will it be an upgrade? Thanks a lot for your wonderful review and ANY Help you can provide, and thanks agaIN.
So the computer you currently have would probably out perform the victus. The difference is the intel cpu you have is a 4 core vs the 5600g being a 6 core. So the 5600g would have more cores to process games or programs but the rx580 is still a stronger gpu even though it's about 5 years older. But you could possibly save time and money by buying an rtx 3060 to swap out your rx580 and have a great jump in performance!
Bottom line, I would hate for you to get rid of what you have now to spend money on an equal performing pc. Now, the parts are newer and would have a warranty but I wouldn't expect a huge jump in performance. I hope all of this helps and thank you for the compliments!
thanks for making this video.
Can I take out the gpu and run the computer on the intgrated gpu of the 5600G ?
I dont need it for gaming, and got another use of the gpu.
This is correct on all other pcs with integrated graphics. Just to make sure, I will run this and make sure that the bios doesn't have something blocked. Other than that, there is an hdmi port and I believe an ancient port (vga). The VGA is blocked with a cap but can be removed. I'll check this evening and make sure it works from the motherboard! Thanks for reaching out!
Hi @bradfordskeldorado thank you for the video on this, just curious if you could list the 1 TB drive you mentioned at 7:14 and how many other drives could be added to this machine?
To be honest, I would recommend a PNY 2.5" ssd. You can get a 2Tb ssd for $61. This is fastener and more reliable with double the space for just a hair more.
PNY CS900 2TB 3D NAND 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - (SSD7CS900-2TB-RB) a.co/d/agC2KVY
You can add two drives because the psu has two sata power connectors but you would need another sata data cable with is only about $5-$8
@@bradfordskeldorado OK, so I have the case open, if I got 2 of those PNY drives is there room? I know the bay will hold one, would the other be hanging loose? hahaha
It would basically just be on the bottome of the case or you could have it anywhere. An ssd doesn't have any moving parts so it would be fine where ever you put it. A Hard drive has a spinning disc so they can have issues if they aren't mounted securely.
After u put the hard drive back I noticed you didn’t connect the two cords to the bottom was that done? By the way I know nothing about computers just trying to upgrade my sons pc to 16gb. Thank you!
If you have this pc I can post links to the best ram that will still allow you to keep to 3200mhz speed. Also, I did hook them up, I probably just forgot to add that to it. There are a ton of times where I miss something and realize it later or someone will mention it so I apologize and never want to confuse or mislead someone.
Hello, this video is so cool :)
1. I accidentally scratched the side of the case on the wall and got a lot of scratches... Is there any way to buy or fix the side of the case separately? I don't have any problems using it, but it just doesn't look good...
2.I got a 2060s GPU from a friend. If I install it here, will it work well without problems with the power of 350w? And I'm trying to add a 14tb hdd that is 3.5 inches. Maybe it's fan noise or vibration?
HP does have a customer cupport option to purchase replacement parts for their products. I would probably take some fine grit sandpaper (1000 grit) and sand the scratches and paint it. The 2060s should be a good addition without any issues and the 3.5" hard drive would be a huge upgrade with no problems to the pc! I hope this info helps!
Hello I just bought this same computer you have before the upgrades as my first gaming PC. Do you know if it will run star field on medium graphics?
I wouldn't recommend this configuration with Star Field, but if you upgrade the gpu and ram, then you shouldn't have any issues at all. STAR field is just a bit of a demanding game for this gpu.
Found one brand new on Marketplace for $400! I upgraded to 32 gb of ram, added 2TB ssd, and already found the 500w proprietary PSU, just gotta get better gpu now! Thinking the AMD RX 6700xt, any thoughts? This video, along with technitwits guide, have helped me understand my computer and what I need to do to upgrade! Thank you dawg
Killer find! A 6700xt would be a great addition! That sounds like a great gaming setup!
@@bradfordskeldorado Hey man! some bad news when upgrading
I got my low spec HP Victus 15L desktop a couple months ago (Ryzen 5 5600G, RX 6400, 8GB ddr4, 350w PSU) Upgraded Ram from 8gb to 32GB, added a 2tb ssd, and prepared to upgrade my GPU. I bought the MSI AMD RX 6700XT and thru UA-cam videos and all the research I did, I ordered the L05757-800 from eBay, (which my friends say I should not do) and when the time came, it fit! But sadly did not have 2x 8-pin connectors which my gpu needs (it only had 1 2+6-pin, and 1 6-pin). I'm sad and returning the PSU, after a little more research, realized I may need a different 500w PSU, the HP L77487-001. This PSU should have the 2x 8-pin connectors my GPU need!
1. Does the HP L77487-001 500w PSU have 2 8-pin connectors? (2x 2+6? And is that any different?)
2. Will the HP L77487-001 power my GPU that recommends a 650w PSU?
3. Why do I need to buy a proprietary HP Power Supply unit in the HP Victus 15L Desktop/TG02?
Bonus: Should I order the HP L77487-001 from eBay? Do you order parts from eBay? Should I be scared to use the 500w psu with my card?
@@Fabolotti You can just buy a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter and use that along with the other 8-pin cable. 500w will be fine, 6700xt uses 230w and 5600g uses 65w.
Like @xiido mentioned, you can get adapters from 6 pin to 8 pin its that's all you need. Also, the 500w is good enough for this gpu/cpu set up.
@@bradfordskeldorado @Xiibo Thank you both! I ended up returning the PSU and I'm gonna try building my own PC! Gonna take the cpu and m.2 from Victus, and see what I can do😎 I appreciate y'all
So you was talking about adding in a 2nd fan on the side of the case. What all is needed to hook it up and secure it in place?
The inside black bracket has holes in it for something like an 80mm fan but you would need a splitter for the fan power.
I added an extra fan on the side. It didn't really seem to help it run any cooler
I mainly did it because this little pc doesn't have but one fan in the rear. Just something you can do to pull in fresh air and depending on the fan size, I'm sure it could increase the volume. Not only that but the pc should have a set temp for the fan curves to speed up when needed.
So what else would you upgrade? Just the psu and like the cpu at some point? I need a video on how to upgrade ur pc bc Im not a computer guy😂
On this pc, I would only upgrade the ram, gpu and maybe the cpu.. in that order. I haven't found the power supplies but I can only imagine the cost of a factory replacement power supply with proprietary connectors would be expensive. I would recommend building a pc with new or used parts over a prebuilt. This would be a lot easier to upgrade in the future. I have a video on a $400 gaming build and a $150 build too. I have plans of doing a mid tier gaming build and even a pc at a $1500 budget soon!
Do you have a video doing the SSD? In this pc. I’m trying to upgrade mine
As far as installing one or adding another one?
Yo, i just got this off the hp store, and got 32 gb of ram, RTX 4060 and an intel core i5, and 1 and a half tarras of storage, i was wondering if i should also get some new fans for it, but ill do thay later on if it works when it arrives, i got it for about 700 bucks, because its 400 off for black friday, im so excited but my parents said i have to wait until Christmas to use it :( im coming from a PS5 so i hope this is good, from the videos ive watched about the parts i have it can run all the games i want to play really well
That is a killer deal! Great buy and you shouldn't have any issues with running games on high settings! I would recommend a fan upgrade but honestly, the bigger gpu fans with help with the cooling of parts more than the little fan and heatsink on the pc I reviewed.
New to computers. So once you just plug in your new ram, that’s all you have to do? Or do you have to install the device manually through the computer.
When you install new ram on this pc, it detects there is additional ram installed automatically. The ram speed is set on this computer. On other computers that don't use proprietary parts, you can adjust the ram speed in the bios. A very simple task to get the maximum speed out of your upgrade. Always check the speed on your ram! If you put a slower speed, it will default to that slower speed.
Thanks for the review! Pretty amazing for the price. Is there any reason you used 2 new 8GB sticks instead of adding one 8GB stick to the existing one?
The only reason was because I wanted them to match. You can buy single 8gb sticks but it's more common to buy a 16gb kit 2x8gb than to buy just a single.
@@bradfordskeldorado Thanks
Do not buy this dog shit pc. Games crash all the time. Some games can’t even be ran right. Even at low settings. I even upgraded the ram. Was greatly disappointed in this pc. Save up more money for a better one. Please
@Salsas Mynd I didn't have any issues with this thing and the comparison is a $499 pc vs other cheap prebuilts. I wanted to check to see how it worked and for this price I was surprised. Try unistalling the gpu drivers and reinstall them. I had issues with it before I did that and it changed the way games ran.
@@bradfordskeldorado ok sorry I’m just annoyed about it.

Hey man I know this video is old so I don’t really expect a response but what gpu upgrades would you recommend for this
Yo! I 100% recommend the rtx 4060. It's a little pricey at $299 but the low power consumption and the performance being a step up from a 3060, then I see this as the perfect gpu for the 350W power supply. I have a couple shorts testing a 4060 and an RX6600 so feel f ree to check them out! I always try to respond so please feel free to reach out with any questions you have!
Literally watching this video from this exact PC. Any idea of what CPU I could upgrade it up to?
You could easily do a ryzen 7 5800x but that's about all I would run. The ryzen 5 5600x was a little hot but I'm sure the R7 would be fine. More cores and threads to multitask faster but as far as gaming performance, it would be a small bump. You can find them on Amazon and at Best Buy for around $250
The cpu is the last thing I would focus on with this pc. The gpu, ram, and psu should be a big focus as well as some better ventilation.
@@smokeydabear9147 I agree the ram first and gpu second. But!... I did order a couple fans (Noctua 80mm and 60mm) to do a short on how to add more ventilation! 🤣 🤣
got mine for 641USD , 32GB ram , RTX 3060 and 512 NVME , ghood buy tbh
Dang! That's a killer deal!
Hi, a novice question, if I wanted to remove the SSD and mount it in another PC, it can be done right? Thank you.
Absolutely! I did a video with this pc and put the ssd into another motherboard. Works great!
Hey ive got a question,can I put my gtx 1070 into this bad boy? Since it has a 350W power supply I was wondering if this will be enough
The 1070ti uses about 180W of power which is a lot compared to some of the newer comparable gpus. The 1070ti if I'm not mistaken, also requires more than an 8 pin power connector. I would recommend using a different gpu if I could afford to buy one. The 4060 is a very low power draw gpu and only cost $299 but that's just what I would recommend!
Is there any problem running after upgrading the graphic card since the PSU only rated 350W? Bought the same thing over Christmas, so far I've only added an intake fan and another ram stick.
Yo Max! Not any issues so far. I have been using it of and off for about two weeks and it's pretty solid. I did look up the RX6600 and it draws less power and it a pretty substantial upgrade to the 2060!
Thanks for that! I appreciate the info!
Awesome, I didn't know about this one. First thing I did was just uninstalling all the HP software I could find via control panel.
Should I get a 1080p or 1440p monitor? I’m going to try it out of the box amd 5 5600g & amd rx 6400 8gb ram, 350w. We plan to upgrade the gpu & ram later.
I personally would recommend 1080p gaming but that's not to say you couldn't do a 1440p monitor but set you setting to 1080. If you have the money, I would say go for it but wouldn't recommend 1440 gaming until you swap the gpu
@@bradfordskeldoradothank you!
hey! i appreciate your video! ive been thinking aboutj buying this PC and this video helped a lot. Is the ventilation issue something that will be critical in the lifespan of the PC or will this PC have a decent lifetime without it? also, you say i dont need to buy 2 8gbs only one to add on to the existing 8gb ram? or did i misunderstand,, thanks again?
also, im not into any fps games i would only be playing fighting games. would i have any issues just running the default ram and specs out the box?
You wouldn't have any issues running the factory ram setup. You can add an additional stick if you want but this pc does take a specific type of ram. In the original video I wasn't aware of this but you would want 3200AA fro Atech and it would cost about $25! I'll post a link below if you decide to upgrade!

Hit me up if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!
Hello comrade the form? for the ram I wanted to know the voltage and the frequency I can put what I want like 1.20 or 1.35 it goes on this pc? and the speed also 3200 mh is good?
The voltage shouldn't matter as far as the ability to use it. Now, if you have a system that is set to 1.2v and you use 1.35v then it could limit it to 1.2v. Also if it is a 1.35v system and you use 1.2v the it will also limit it to 1.2v. So you should be able to use it and get more memory but you may not be able to utilize 100% of the computers memory frequency is you are trying to overclock. Best bet is to get the 1.35v ram and if you have a 1.35v system, then you're good to go. If you have a 1.2v system then you're not losing anything my having the 1.35v kit in it. Hope this helps!
At 5:38, I see what looks like a piece of black plastic covering some ports, maybe video ports from the motherboard. Can you tell me what's under there, and are those torx-only screws?
So this is a vga port and an hdmi port from the motherboard. The reason they cover them is to prevent people from hooking up the cable to these ports. With a gpu plugged in, these ports will not work so companies get calls with people claiming to pc powers on but has not video out. The screws are a torx or flat head style fastener, so you can use either one! Hope this helps!
@@bradfordskeldorado Thanks so much. I have an ancient Apple Cinema Display that only outputs dual-link dvi, so I was hoping there might be a DVI port hidden under there.
I know they make an hdmi to dvi adapter. This pc has an hdmi and a display port but the intel version has an hdmi and a dvi port so you might be able to fond one of these. Also, you could build one with more capabilities for a little bit more than you can get this pc!
@@bradfordskeldorado I'm going to bite the bullet on this (I found it at a nearby Walmart for $400 today, but most stores seem to be sold out). I had planned a 5600g build for about the same cost with more ram, bigger SSD, but reusing my power supply and RX 560. This will definitely save me some headaches, especially since I'll still have a functioning PC if I have problems to work out.
Wow! $400 is a steal for everything you get in this! Be sure to check out some of my shorts on this! I have a ventilation addition I did with adding a fan to the side for better air flow and also did an RX6600 gpu swap and got some serious performance out of it! Good luck and hit me up if you have any other questions!
thanks dude, I just ordered this for 200ish, for the ram, how much can I put in?
So it has 2 dimm slots for ram. After a little reading, recommended maximum is 64gb.
hello i plan getting this exact computer from walmart. do you have the link to your gigabyte 2060?
2060s are pretty pricey at the moment. I would recommend looking for a 3050 8gb card that has two fans and you would have similar performance for a cheaper price! Hope this helps!
hello comrade do you think to make a new video on this PC with even better to see if we can still gain in FPS?
I can check to see if another gpu can improve beyond the 2060 that I used as an upgrade. I have a 3060 but with the 300w power supply, I believe it would be too much. I can possibly buy an rx6600 but may take a bit until I flip some other pcs to buy it

Yes just purchased recently
Also came with McAfee protection and an xbox game pass
Does your PC have an idle hum? Whenever I start it up and not doing anything it has a noticeable humming sound.
That's definitely not something I have seen or heard. Could be a defective fan. I would submit a ticket through hp and see if they have heard of this issue.
So you cannot upgrade the ssd and no 2 nd slot for a nvme m.2 , what hard drive did you add ?
Unfortunately it does only have 1 nvme slot but you can add a 2.5" ssd for storage. The HDD I added was just a 2tb drive I had laying around and the cage is big enough to fit one but the 2.5" will mount in it too! Hope this helps

How do you like it? Did yours come with more fans installed? Sounds like a great little rig!
It’s got two fans on the GPU, cpu fan and an exhaust fan. It *technically* has a power supply fan as well.
I noticed the temps were a little high on this one but it has that small heat sink. I would like to add a fan to the side case panel but I might also do a kind of mad max theme with this and add some grunge paint and a tower cooler with a cut out in the side panel

If you're using a capture card and broadcasting from the pc then you wouldn't have any issues with this. Most of the times when streaming, the cpu gets overloaded from processing the game and trying to do the encoding of the stream. This cpu is more than capable of being setup to just run stream labs!

WHAT CABLE DO I HAVE TO BUY TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT MORE FANS AND RGB?
A fan splitter is for adding fans and I personally don't know about adding more rgb to this. It doesn't have an rgb header so you would probably just have to find some single color fans that run off of the fan power but don't change or find an rgb set that has a switch.

There is only one slot for an NVME drive, so you would have to install a bigger ssd if you wanted more storage on the motherboard.

So this is a step up from a small form factor pc so a tower style cooler wouldn't fit, but a low profile cpu coolers like the Noctua NH-L9I could possibly work.

It's not really practical with this motherboard style. It has a front and rear I/O that is specific for this case and it has proprietary connectors and a smaller power supply for this case. If you planned to buy and swap it, you might as well but everything and build the pc yourself. Adding a $60-$90 case, $80-$120 power supply and a $100 motherboard would have this pc around $800 and you can build a pretty good pc at that price point

I have this with the AMD CPU. I installed a Nvidia 1660 Super. (barely fit) I see in the Device manager an onboard AMD GPU Still shows up and loads the drivers The rear plugs for this are blocked from the factory, I can only disable it in the Device manager and not in the bios. Should I disable it? I don't understand the FPS because It only shows 60 FPS like it is hitting a limit and won't rise above that no matter which game I play., Is there a setting I can change to disable the FPS limit?

So if you're showing an AMD gpu and it says radeon graphics, then it could possibly be the integrated graphics from the cpu. I would recommend downloading and running DDU (display driver uninstaller, google DDU) to remove all gpu drivers and then install nvidias geforce experience. Once you have done all this, you can remove the slots on the back of the pc to allow the other ports to be accessible. Also, check to make sure your settings aren't capped to 60 fps and also make sure vsync isn't on. If you're running a 60hz monitor and vsync then you will be stuck at 60fps. I hope this info helps!
@@bradfordskeldorado Thanks for the info, I will try those other tips.
My monitor is 60hz but FPS does jump above 60 when I am not in gameplay, Will the monitor hold it to 60 if I don't have anything else holding FPS down?
@TheNickybocker it shouldn't. Just check the game setting and your gpu software (geforce experience) to make sure vsynce is off. Let me know of the issues is still happening!
