I literally just bought that same victus from the same seller about 2 weeks ago.
I upgraded it to a 6600xt and added a stick of ram because of your other videos.
This is my first pc and I'm very happy. Thanks toasty
W upgrade
Good move!
omg really ? i got one as well and want to upgrade it or return it but im scared if i sell and buy another same price i wont get the same preformance
Have you had any issues with the PC such as overheating?
we are upgrade twins! First I put in a 1660s, that was great, but then I found a local 6600 which turned out to be a 6600xt. TOTAL WIN. Not gonna need to upgrade for a long time.
.I would love to see a high end desktop pre-build video sometime soon as it's been a while. Keep up the great work guys. Love from 'The Land Down Under' !!
2:24 “looking pretty good at the front… a little lackluster on the back”… they just described my ex 😂
Bruh lmao
those motherboards are custom designed for those cases. The front usb ports are apart of the motherboard itself. I have no idea why hp switched to this design, but at least with older hp cases you could swap out the motherboard and still have front usb port connectivity since it was a connection and not apart of the motherboard itself.
I’ve been looking at this exact ebay listing considering it because I do have the parts to make it a little better and this video finally made me make my decision
I've got a SFF OptiPlex 7010 with a gen 3 processor and I'm pleased with the gaming performance, which is about mid-range. My GPU is an RTX A2000 (I got the build idea from you guys).
You guys make great pc reviews
I have this exact pc, works like a beast currently waiting on my 1x8gb ram still to come in Friday
What can it run??
HP (or one of their major resellers, usually Costco with Microcenter deals) dumped a ton of these refurbished units into the market a couple months back. Keep an eye on Micro Center to catch one cheap too.
Found a good deal, these exact PCs for only $275 in my state at a mom&pop PC shop. Gonna pick one up for my sister’s first PC and at this price point- I can’t rationalize spending any bit more for the power returns I’d get finding something for any bit more. Not a shabby little PC!
Love you toasty bros keep up the amazing content ❤
I have a HP Victus Gaming laptop, I did a ram upgrade and a SSD upgrade. Byfair the best windows machine I've ever had!
Thats great to hear😅
Picked mine up last week, added 8gb ram and picking up a rtx2060 today. Hopefully good enough for warzone and maybe a stream
Walmart currently has this exact same HP Victus computer on clearance for $399. The only problem with this computer is the RX 6400 video card. When tested on PCIe 3.0 there is a sizeable drop in FPS with the RX 6400. While the RX 6400 isn't all that impressive it still outperforms older cards like the RX 560.
Not really, try looking at some recent benchmarks, isn't as big a difference as you think. Newer drivers has seemed to narrow the gap.
Yes I bought mine at Walmart can't beat it for $399 brand new
@@traitoR142 The 6400 definitely still suffers from pcie 3.0. The issue is the 6400 is a pcie x4 card, and at 3.0 speeds is slow, driver updates can't fix that. While the 6400 may run games surprisingly well in a 3.0 system, it would undoubtedly be noticeably faster in 4.0 system.
@@canaan3764 So the Toasties later used a RX 6600 XT pcie 4 in this pcie 3 system? This is normal?
@@Minnesota.Highlander the 6600XT is pcie x8, there isn’t a much of a difference in performance on gen 3 vs 4 for x8 cards. You’ll only run into issues with pcie x4 cards on gen 3.
I was able to get a really good deal for this 600$ for the desktop but it was maxed out and it is amazing
Love the consistency
I have a 3070ti with a 5600G and it performs wonderfully
I have heard you have to use pc4-3200aa ram to get the full 3200mhz. I have also heard it just has to be 1.2v. Are either or both of these things true? If so, which one?
This week mass sale eBay for 230 dollar after tax for Victus 15L rx6400 this was a freakin steal
These older cpus can definitely use some help from Frame Gen
After checking the price for a HP victus 15L which comes with ryzen 5 5600G and a gtx 1650 with a memory of 512gb ssd and 8gb ram. I realize for the same price I just bought a ryzen 4 4500 with rtx 3060ti memory of 1tb ssd and 2 tb of hdd and 32 GB of ram
How well does it keep cool under high loads? That tiny screen of holes doesn't look like it would allow much air intake when your CPU/GPU are going full speed.
Will I be able to use a Dell Optiplex monitor with this.Or is there an adapter I'd need to buy,or not compatible at all?Thanks.
I have a HP victus and it had been amazing
This is the exact pc I have. I currently have the same specs and all! Pretty good pc! Pretty decent for gaming. The only thing i hate is the low amount of storage
Well you can always upgrade as SSD are extremely affordable especially the m.2 now
@testing448 Yup, that's what im planning to do currently alongside a graphics card upgrade :D
Storage upgrade is really easy to do so you are fine there
Add 1 more stick of ram dual channel will be always better than single channel.
But if u have the money maybe go for quad channel maxing out that average mobo to it's limits.
Bro, fn same lol
Dang this is just 247 usd yesterday and sold out as new! Refurbs can be had for 227 usd. Bought two what a deal.
I bought a new one a few days ago. From one moment to the next the front light "V" no longer turns on. How do you turn that light back on or did it burn out?
3:15 i order a lot of HP workstations, many of them have GPUs in them, none of them have ever had an anti tamper sticker on it btw
Can you guys do a video putting an rx 6600? I've had this exact pc for a while and was looking for a gpu upgrade and have been scared to upgrade due to its psu. I keep reading that minimum wattage for 6600 is 500w but Jackson said it's possible to put one in that system
Good video 👌
I have an M01 system with the 4700g. Your biggest issue in your system is the single stick of ram; that cuts system bandwidth in half. A second problem is that the CPU only has 16mb of cache (better than the 8mb a 4700g has, but only half of what a 5600 would have). Also, these boxes don't have a lot of room; I am considering dropping in a 5700X and a better cooler than the one HP used, which seems to use intel standard mounting? saved them money on parts, but unexpected for the ryzen processor.
The motherboard supports the 5700x?
@@krgp the northbridge chipset is the B550A -- which is a marketing term for B450 refresh. PCIe is limited to version 3, and other limitations.
HP doesn't really like DIY, so they don't publish much in the way of specs; but the case and the same board were used in their "gaming pc's" from the same design era (ie, before B550 was released). It depends on whether HP wants to bother to update the bios to support the later generation.
I do know the bios was updated twice while I was using it. Check with an actual HP support person; I was going to try it anyway, but never got around to it.
I have this same PC but I found a hp 700watt power supply that fits perfectly
Picked up a refurbed Ryzen 7/32GB RAM/RX 6600 XT card for $600 from Microcenter. Heck of a deal
I ended up picking up one of those Lenovo P520 Thinkstation's from Ebay last week and just installed a 512GB 2.5" SSD and an RX 580 8GB. Sold it for $375. Thanks for the heads up on those and now they are even cheaper! I thin this build is a much better value though than the Victus.
Ppl are actually buying that? With that cpu?
@@sinosoul The world is a big place and there is always a use for anything to someone. Just because it's of no use to you doesn't mean it isn't to anyone else.
I had to go get that pc once I saw that deal, and I did. I just want to upgrade it
i really love this build and was wondering if i could take the parts out and put them in another case i plan on upgrading the ram psu and gpu
Erm no not really it's an hp the power supply is small form factor and has none standard motherboards/connections basically hp want you to bin while system when you want to upgrade
@@RK-zf1jm ive seen people upgrade it is it possible to put a new gpu and psu ram in? maybe not the case
@@RigbieMultiyou can most definitely upgrade the psu, ram, and gpu
I got this refurbished, sold the RX6400 and got an used RTX 3070 for it. Added a ram. So I got 5600G + 16GB + 3070 Combo for around $400 total (got a really good refurb deal on this HP). 350W can handle a RTX 3070 FE version fine only if you undervolt it (total power consumption of entire PC when heavy QHD gaming hovers around 250-280W with Undervolting). And 3070 FE card only needs one 8 pin power. Also, I overclocked the Ram to 4000MHz using Ryzen master. Blazing fast gaming PC for $400 + deal hunting time/effort. Note that SAM/ReBar is ON by default yay.
Is the infinity fabric clocked at 2000Mhz on that setup? A 2:1 ratio is best for performance and most of these struggle to go over 1800Mhz, making Mem clocks of 3600Mhz optimal for performance.
Gay
@@JosMyOpinion No, I am at 1:1. 2000MHz FCLK. MEMCLK is doubled hence the name DDR
@@dukeyin1111 Damn, you got a stable 2000Mhz FCLK... That's awesome!
@@JosMyOpinion Cezanne CPUs have really good memory controllers. I could overlock the rams higher than my 5800x without WHEA erros
Do you guys stream apex gameplay on twitch?
I found on on ebay same specs whats the max ram you can put in it? does it have dual slots?? ive got 32 GB 3600 ddr4 ram i can put in.
for $189.00 i should probably snag it!!
PCs are becoming cheaper and cheaper by the day despite prices actually rising. I saw a fully built new 3070ti pc being sold for 750 the other day
Buy it for me bro
Well the 30 series are starting to become a bit old now but $750 for a 3070 ti build is sketchy asf
so I just got this exact computer at Walmart and I’m new to all things PC related so I’m just kinda learning on the way. What things can I add to this PC to make it run great. Are the only two things I need to change are the Gpu and ram ? Pls any help

Are all these cheap videos for beginners it is it good for a mid range? I would love to see more good deals on the mid range gaming PC s
I’ve had this pc for awhile. Upgrade the ram and you got a solid pc. I upgraded the gpu to the rx 6550 xt. It’s great for sure

Certainly! "The Lord of the Rings" is a fantasy trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien. The story is set in the fictional world of Middle-earth and follows the epic journey of a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins as he sets out to destroy a powerful and evil ring. Here's a summary of the trilogy:
Book 1: "The Fellowship of the Ring"
The story begins with the discovery of a mysterious ring by Bilbo Baggins, an elderly hobbit. This ring, known as the One Ring, was created by the Dark Lord Sauron to conquer Middle-earth. Bilbo leaves the Shire, his home, and entrusts the ring to his nephew Frodo. With the help of the wizard Gandalf, a fellowship is formed to take the ring to the fires of Mount Doom in Mordor, the only place where it can be destroyed. The fellowship includes Frodo, Samwise Gamgee, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn (a ranger and the true king of Gondor), Legolas (an elf), Gimli (a dwarf), Boromir (a man of Gondor), and Gandalf. They face various challenges and dangers along their journey.
Book 2: "The Two Towers"
The fellowship is split after an attack by Saruman's Uruk-hai, leading to separate storylines. Frodo and Sam continue their journey to Mordor, while Merry and Pippin are captured by orcs and later rescued by Treebeard, an ancient Ent. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli pursue the Uruk-hai who have taken Merry and Pippin, eventually joining forces with the kingdom of Rohan against Saruman's forces. Meanwhile, Gandalf is revealed to have survived and returns as Gandalf the White.
Book 3: "The Return of the King"
The various storylines converge as the battle for Middle-earth intensifies. Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom but face a final struggle to destroy the One Ring. Meanwhile, the Battle of Minas Tirith takes place in Gondor, with Aragorn leading the forces of good against Sauron's armies. The hobbits and their allies face numerous challenges, and Frodo's strength is tested as he is tempted by the ring's power. Ultimately, Gollum, who had been following Frodo and Sam, bites off Frodo's finger to claim the ring but falls into the fires of Mount Doom, destroying the ring and Sauron's power. Middle-earth is saved, but Frodo and Sam are rescued from Mount Doom and returned to the Shire.
The story concludes with the hobbits' return to the Shire, only to find it under the control of Saruman and his ruffians. They lead a rebellion to free the Shire and restore peace. The trilogy ends with Frodo, Gandalf, and many others departing Middle-earth for the Undying Lands, leaving behind a transformed world.
"The Lord of the Rings" is a tale of heroism, friendship, and the struggle between good and evil in a richly detailed and imaginative world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Can upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5800X and can I upgrade to a 3060TI?
What can we buy to make this pc even better?
Ok so I am a console player who desperately wants a gaming pc and I was wondering since this is cheap is it good quality does it run at 60 fps or higher and 4K can I play Xbox or PlayStation games or stuff and does it come with the graphics card and all that stuff cuz idk how to insert or set it up
The stock 6400 or 5500 video card is only good for 1080p at lower settings, if you get one with 6600xt that's good for 1440p with higher settings on games like fortnite, if you want 4k you need a completely different system with larger power supply and 4070 or better. Twice the price range or more for 4k.
Are there any budget PCs that are able to run the likes of Hell Let Loose anyone could suggest?
can you do a ibuypower pc or cyberpowerpc review but make it a custom pc?👌
Walmart has them on clearance for the same price. Not sure if it's in every area however
They are new or refurbished 🤔
New sold by Walmart pick up in store
Can you do the Ryzen 7 5700g Rx 6600xt version?
Can y’all upgrade the cpu and gpu for this configuration. I seen y’all did it for the intel one but I couldn’t find if y’all did it for the ryzen one as well.What cpu and gpu would you recommend and would you have to upgrade the fans?
I'm guessing You can upgrade them but rn I can't think of any budget alternatives but if price isn't a problem I recommend the Nvidia 3060 +the i13 or i12 since it's still a good option just not necessarily cheao
Or you could get the Nvidia 4090 but there's really no point since they are both nearly the same and you can run any game better than great with the 3060 but if Ur really looking for the best one you can get them the 4090 but if Ur on a budget and can't afford a 10k GPU then yk the 3060 or maybe the 2060 idk (it's fine if U can't afford it I don't think anyone in these comments can tbh like tf they think we make 7 digits a month like 💀💀) anyways I don't really know much about PC's but you could also go do some digging I'm sure you can find some better alternatives for a better price
love this videos
Is there a reason y’all never test any on warzone?
I’ve been looking at a stgaubron rtx 3070 32gb ram(1090$ version ) pc for my first pc I’d like to know what people think and if the 3070 is still decent , I’m looking to be able to run games in high quality and record .
Do a refurbished i7 12700 refurbished prebuilt from Target
What do you think would higher the fps on Fortnite because I’m choosing between this and a ps5 and if I buy a pc I would want it to run a higher fps then the ps5 “buying new if I do”
These are $400 at Wally World new.
I got the Pavilion version with the rx5500 for $200 when they clearances them out.
These use a newer revision of the same basic MB with the only significant difference being 2 of the front panel USB ports are faster.
You should try upgrading this to the most powerful GPU the power supply will support.
Yup. Went on sale on the 4th. Had one left yesterday but I wasn't sure if it was worth the 400 right now or if I should wait till the inevitable Black Friday sale November for something better.
I miss the HP Pavilion gaming PC/Laptops
Walmart got it new for 399 just bought on plan on a rtx 3060 and ram upgrade
I just bought one five days ago new from Walmart for $350 USD. And I just found this video.

What can you cha ge out on the victus
when i put everything on performance mode and when i put unlimited fps i hit 400fps on this hp victus pc
Good video
I don't really appreciate showing the gaming PC on Free Games and since I saw it struggle with Cyberpunk I'm worried about Games like DayZ, Ark, GTA V, FiveM
my build.
CPU: ryzen 5 3600
MOTHERBOARD: Asus Prime b-350m-a
RAM: DDR4 Kingston 16GB dual channel
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX980
Total cost Price $400
I have reason to believe this is better than the pc in this video but i want to know if i am right in believing this.
The benchmarks also seem to suggest that my build is slightly better... let me know please people.
You’re not including PSU, Case, Storage or OEM copy of windows.
Your build prob closer to $600 - $650
Yeah, but you're kinda lopsided. Ram should cost no more than $40. An A320 motherboard works too and can be cheaper even if you have to buy a pre Ryzen AM4 to flash it. The 980 is an ok starting point. But new RX580 8GB were going for $45 on AliExpress (only 2,000 something processor edition, but still ok). GTX 1070 can be had for $80. But RX5700 or 6600 is good deal for $100-150
I bought this exact PC from Walmart on Clearance for $200
link? was this in person or online? i’m trying to get something like this but there’s a bunch of listings but all are $500+ so which one actually is it
what ram does it use
Which graphics card is better for this computer, rx6400 or rx5500 ?
Definitely rx 6600
Lol, 5500 or 5700, but yeah 6600 is only $150 if you find a deal.
I would like to see this last machine! Victus by HP TG02-2003nl
The question is whether the full R5 5600 gets you PCIe 4.0. definitely splurge up from the 6400. It is terrible value because you are paying the Low profile and new card tax. Cards you can get for the same price that perform better: RX5700, RX6600. Get one of these barebone with at least 16GB ram and a r3. Then put in the card and a non APU processor. Not sure if its a good propsition otherwise. But you can get systems like this on trash day when people mess up their windows install or a component dies.
I bought a similar victus with a i5 10500 and rtx 2060 16gb ram for only 400 off ebay not sure why yours was so bad
Test these PCs running Euro Truck Simulator 2 in terms of games please
I have this exact pc but I don’t get as much fps on Fortnite even on low settings please tell me how I can get nore
I have an r3 version of this , price is decent , they can keep the video card $100 rx580 runs better .
That 6400x is dog shit lmao, can't even overclock

Thank you. I wanted a new budget pc so than I can record with OBS and play roblox on a good amount of graphics.
It's a badass little PC but the upgrade part is the difficult part. The PSU needs to be upgraded big time; however, from what I read, only certain PSU's can be used. IE HP only. They don't make the 500w one anymore from my research. I don't think you can just put any PSU inside it. Just really keep that in mind before buying this PC.
Why can’t you change the Psu? Wouldn’t the ports be the same?
You can change it, but from what I read it can only be an HP PSU. I am not sure if you can just put any PSU inside.@@tiago.moreira28
@@tiago.moreira28it's proprietary and has its own special connectors.
Does HP Victus 15L have extra ports to add more M.2 SSD ?😄
Not sure why? Get a single 2TB M.2, they are like $60 rn. Or $80 for a 5,000MB/s PCIe 4.0 or 3,500MB/s PCIe 3.0 with cache. Also you can get an M.2 to PCIe card and put it in the x1 slot if you really needed another M.2
