thank you so much! after 3 months of research, picking parts and watching video's, have i build my own pc out of a hp elitedesk 800 g1. the graphics card is on the way, so i havent installed that yet. this video gave me the motivation and inspiration to build my own pc, and im happy that i did it. it works like a charm! thanks man!
Thank you for this video. I picked up an Elitedesk 800 G1 and have been using it as a docker host for 2 years, but only being able to use 1-2 hard drives is too limiting, so I'm going to buy a larger ATX case, follow your video, and move into a larger case with more space.
I had 3 drives in mine just laying free in the case... never had any problems LMAO. Past tense because I upgraded to a G3 with the same thing +1 NVME drive... who cares as long as it works
@@IncandescentDaDno. I ended up purchasing a HP tower server off a friend a few years ago, and even more recently have picked up a 1RU Dell R240 from work that I will soon be moving to. I don't even own the Elitedesk any longer.
I tried doing this with Z series desktops, but they had a proprietary heatsink mount point layout. I'm glad that some of the older enterprise level PCs (Elitedesk and Prodesk 800 G1, G2, and G3) have standard LGA heatsink mount points.
Yea, it's kind of interesting because the older 8000 series has a different orientation mobo which does not align with standard ATX case. But, newer models though. I bet HP got a better deal on parts by deciding to go with ATX standard.
I managed to figure it out for the rest: If you look at the header from above: xx -> pin 1,2 xx -> pin 3,4 -> power switch x -> pin 5 xx -> pin 6,7 xx -> pin 8,9 In order for the HDD LED to work, it should go in pin 7 and 9 (align the small arrow on the header). The Power led - should go in pin 6 and the power led + in pin 8. Pin 5 is not used. I'm not sure if the reset button works on this motherboard, as it does not work in my case
@@davidoosterhuis1355 You sir, are absolutely amazing. Plugged everything in exactly as you said: Booted immediately with all lights working! I cannot thank you enough
I actually did this with my HP Elite Desk 800 GI SFF I ran into a problem with the Intel Heatsink not fitting on my board so I had to use the old heatsink, to get it to stay onto the motherboard due to it not having the support from the case anymore, I had to go to Wal-Mart and buy machine screws 1/2 inch and attached the washers to the back of the board this remedied the issue perfectly! Although it did cause quite a bit of frustration. Also had a hard time figuring out where the front connectors go onto the board! If you do this definitely take your time! I had never worked with computer parts in this way and managed to get everything working with patience and double checking everything before going ahead. Overall I am extremely pleased to have upgraded my computer in this way, it ended up being way cheaper than I exected and definitely worth trying. Thanks for the help!
Done this BUT you get a message on bootup about front usb 3 is not connected as it's slightly different to normal.usn 3 headers on own cases. Also the rear case fan, if not connected the. You get a message about that also. I used a prodesk 490 mini tower pc.
If you can remove the other side panel behind the motherboard, that will tell you what the stock heat sink is screwed into. If the stock one has a mounting plate that comes out, I think it could be reused until you are able to get something decent.

I have the same computer, and i followed this video to upgrade to a new case. I followed the video exactly and when i switch on the power supply the little green light on the motherboard blinks, so i know it works, but when i press the power switch on the case it doesnt boot up. Did i plug the switch into the motheboard wrong? Where am i supposed to plug it in?
15:14 That dirty heatsink kept tripping me off, you should've cleaned it when you took it apart, just spray the can of air at least, other than that great video.
I have a tower elitedesk. It come with a random standard CPU cooler size and mounting holes. Which makes it complicated to swap. I'm not sure if I could use a nut four nuts to hold the CPU cooler in place?
Power Button configuration for computers without split leads This is almost exactly the same as my HP prodesk 600 G2. the only difference I see is the CPU cooler and mine only has 2 slots for ram. the insides aren't the same but the mobo are the same. the main issue I had with my case transplant was the Power Button. HP, of course, had to make theirs proprietary and block pin 6 rather than pin 1 like normal PCs. My case doesn't have the Power supply leads split so I had to do some wacky wiring. Using your guide and this h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/pin-assignment-for-Power-On-off-Switch-led-Cable-710821-001/td-p/7458720 I basically put in the power button 90 degrees to what it should be. Normal cases have pins 8 and 6 being the power switch to I spanned those across what you have shown. HPs power switch is pins 7 and 8 so making putting pin 8 on the wire where pin 7 is on the motherboard and putting pin 6 on the wire to where pin 8 is on the mobo it works fine. Power light doesn't work but who cares lol. For the cooler I just used the stock cooler and some nuts and bolts to hold it in. Thanks Here is a diagram Mobo is • • • • • ☻☻ • • top left is pin one and to right is pin 2 ☻☻ is the power switch connectors on the mobo. normal Power connectors are ♦ ☻ • ☻ • ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ☻ is the power buttons Basically needs to align these. in the end, it should look something like this Mobo • • • • • ♦ ♦ ☻☻ ♦ ♦ ☺☺ ♦

@@morefpsgamingftw3062 what kind of power supply are you using? I read on some of the Amazon reviews that the adapters don't work but its due to it being defective.
@@morefpsgamingftw3062 you'll have to find a diffrent adapter. I have a pro desk g1 and i had to buy 2 before i found a good one.. and make sure that your using a good power supply

hellow my brother its 5 years but ur video brought me here umm i have the hp engage flex pro would it also work i really need to change mine thanks your time
Hello. I have an hp z230 SFF and I am wondering if it is possible to do the same to transfer the motherboard to a larger case. History of being able to put a larger graphics card. Thank you
Possibly. They look very similar and orientation of mobo appears to be the same. Open it and take a look to compare if mobo looks to be the same size, shape and back I/O orientation.
The rear is not the same though. I have another motherboard that no longer works and there are small differences, but that's okay. The most important thing is that it starts correctly when I press the button. I have read on forums, and some say it is not possible to start with anything other than the original button, but your video and there to prove otherwise.
I was gifted a EliteDesk 800 g2 by a friend and I plan to use it for drawing digital art, I hope I can follow this guide and make it all come together, also hope I can find the right case in pink.
Hello, I plan to buy the HP 800 G1 Tower soon, and I want to move everything to a new case, I'm not sure if the motherboard is of standard dimensions, more precisely if the screw layout is the same as on a regular micro atx board (micro atx I think), so my the question is, can I transfer all my components (power supply and motherboard) to MS Cyclops V. I'm worried about the layout of the screws on that motherboard. Thanks
Hey what if i take out the cpu and ram and put it into an atx motherboard with same socket and stuff please respond and also can you please recommend one to me. Thank you i have hp 8100 elite sff
I don't know which computer you have but this is how you find your CPU socket: ua-cam.com/video/stcuFDSUTwE/v-deo.html Once you figure what the socket is search with that number to find a motherboard. So, if you have 800 G1 the socket for that is LGA1150 and then you just search for that on Amazon. Like this: amzn.to/3dcvMGq If you find motherboards that are too expensive... at that point you might as build a new computer with better/cheaper parts.
Please help me! where should the power button and the front panel and reset button be inserted? The place you have just don't know the order! Thank you for the help!
Towards the end of video I show where to plug in. You can also use the process of elimination and test which one works. Someone in comments provided the pin out diagram as well.
Not only very informative but a very enjoyable video to watch. Your video encouraged me to choose the 600 G1 over some other SFF systems. A great job! EDIT: I got a cannot beat deal on an 800 G1 and am in the process of transferring to a new case with a new PSU. A great system for basing a budget gaming system on.
That motherboard looks the same size as the one in the broken Prodesk 600 g2 micro tower I have. I could just make life easy and put one of these in there. The IO part on the back looks identical and the power suply has the exact same connectors. Also this one has a better chipset, right?
@@bineflextv5438 I forget to be honest. Check on the motherboard for extra fan connector, it should say "fan" next to it. Otherwise, you can use one of these adapters: amzn.to/3MSa8bq
Holly crap I love you! U are a life saver I was about to buy a new motherboard because I thought I could not connect the front control panel. I love you have a amazing day man
Yes, here is a video of me just adding an external GPU: ua-cam.com/video/tj2ws0mTm6E/v-deo.html But yes, any GPU should work when used in larger PC case. Otherwise you can install a low profile card that fits inside the original sff case. Like this: amzn.to/3f05sxA
@cobuman, did you just assume the G3 would work or did you test it? It's a different motherboard after G2 and doesn't use a 6-pin connector. It uses the flat connector (PWRCMD) and a 4-pin (PWR). Guess it's too late now since I'd already ordered a G3. No pre-made adapters. :|
Depends which G3 you mean. If 800 G3 then you are correct. But if it's for example 705 G3 then it's the same. Sorry about confusion. Anyway, if you need extra power to run a large GPU you can also use a 2nd PSU just for that. Here is my video if interested: ua-cam.com/video/tj2ws0mTm6E/v-deo.html around 5min mark I show how to connect it.
@@Cobuman I think they still use that flat 7 pin (and actually has 7 wires instead of just 4) for PWRCMD. But they switched to using a 4-pin 12-volt (I think it's 12 volt) for the PWR. I've been trying to find the pinouts for the power supply on the elitedesk G3 but I can't really find anything.
@@MatthewLenz Yea, I didn't find anything either. It seems like it was a limited model or something. Are wires colored like yellow and black? If so you can check using volt meter and possibly reuse the connector by connecting to power supply source. Like connecting it to extra SATA power cable. Of course, be careful if you decide to do so. :)
I am confused about your 24pin power supply connector.. I don't have an atx motherboard, just a regular HP-Z220 motherboard. How can I transfer 24 pins to the pins that my motherboard requires.. i feel like you mention it in the video but I watched the whole video and am still confused,
Power connector is a 4pin... the new poer supply i bought has a 8pin. Have to buy an adaptor. 8pin female to 4 pin male adaptor (Your links product wasnt available.) Also had to get a molex to 3 pin adaptor for the fans in the case. Harddrives connect to the outside/side-back of the case. The heatsink/fan i ordered (your link) they sent me the wrong one or it wasnt right for my hp. So i used the original but ripped the aluminum screwholes off of the old case.(wasnt difficult) waiting for new power adaptor to show up to.orrow.
Weird. The one in video is pulled from i7 4770k which uses socket 1150... it's a standard intel heatsink so I'm not sure why it would not work for you. Unless you have a totally different PC or the heatsink you got is somehow different. Do you have an AMD PC by chance? Does it say intel on the heatsink just like in the video?
@@Cobuman My 800 g1 has an i5-4570 socket 1150. The heatsink I ordered and received was exactly like the one in the video, except my original heatsink and fan have a more rectangular mounting points and are not square as the new one has. I was at a point of no return last night so my fix was to just use my original heatsink and fan and I had to put nuts on the bottom of the mainboard and carefully tighten the heatsink down. It works and I am still happy to have the extra space of a regular size case, I hated that SFF case.
@@Cobuman Every socket 1150 heatsink and fan I look at have square mounting points. I wonder why mine is rectangular? It clearly says LGA1150 right next to the cpu on the board. Oh well at least its working. The only other issue I have is at bootup I keep getting a warning about power supply fan not installed and it says front 1 and 2 USB are not present. But I hooked everything up the way it came off the old case so I dont understand that.
@@Cobuman My Case is the exact same one in your video except mine had no external 3.5. I appreciate you responding to my questions/issue as a creator myself I have noticed most UA-camrs over 3-5k subs do not even acknowledge their subscribers in the comments. You gained a sub!
Can you tell me the exact model number of that G1 please ? Mine has the exact same backing plate and I need a cable to do a case transfer . I'm in Australia and would like to find a vendor here rather than import . Thanks
Well I needed that video yesterday. I just cutted the CPU cooler holder out and screwed it on the MBU. For the USB and audio error I plugged the yellow USB in and actually used the 3.0 USB and 2 hubs. No new power supply needed and did it the same way in the video with double sided tape additionally. Biggest problem is the length of the cables. I was able to disassemble the original switch on compartment and use the original LEDs and switch in the aftermarket case. G2 600 805D board with 32gb ram and 6gb GPU. 1tb ssd 256gb nvme on expci Works fine but the mbu and cpu is not really made to be upgraded this much.
Not after you change the case because the old heat sink is screwed in to the original case metal. I guess if you find some small screws to hold it from the other side but you may damage the motherboard like that.
I bought the power supply you had in the comments as well as the adapter and when I went to power it on, nothing happened with the only sign of power being a blinking green light on the motherboard, which turned solid green when I used the power supply that came with the hp, it also powered on then, please help ne
It could be the adapter. Reach out to that company that sells the adapter on Amazon. They are pretty good at helping. I think the issue might be related to some wire that just needs to be swapped around.
I just got the G3 version, totally different motherboard. The front USB, power switch, everything is part of the motherboard so it's too wide to fit in other PC cases.
I have hp prodesk 400 g1 sff can i change the cabinet because i made a mess and installed gtx 1050ti that stops the upper lid from closing so my pc is inside the table so that it wont catch dust pls reply
Hi there, thanks for the video. I have this same exact PC and need to do a transfer as well. The PC Case you linked on this video is no longer available. Are there any other types of casing that can still fit this motherboard? Please let me know. Thank you.
I just transferred my HP Elitedesk 800 G1 to an old HP Pavilion case, added a gtx 1650 and I'm playing Forespoken right now. Extra things I had to do: 1.) Remove the power switch and lights from the front cover button, insert into the from cover of the Pavilion. 2.) To use my Elite desk cooling fan, I had to find some nuts that fit on the bolts in the fan too attach it to the mother board. The Elit desk mother does not have built in nuts. The fan bolts into the case. It ain't pretty but works like a champ.
Thanks for responding it's the same one but i bought it at a store that sold them in large quantities and they said that they make them like that they switched the cooling system and made so you cant fit a full sized graphics card if i could send a picture i would and the motherboard is smaller sorry if i caused any trouble
Hello. No, I didn't do the conversion but the issue might be the adapter wires. If you bought the adapter from Amazon, check the reviews as they might have a fix.

Thank you my good sir. I feel so dumb for overlooking that haha
15:14 That dirty heatsink kept tripping me off, you should've cleaned it when you took it apart, just spray the can of air at least, other than that great video.
Do you Need any special screwdiver to do this
No, just the ones used in the video.
Thank you so much you helped me realy
My pleasure. 👍
My PC's exhaust fan is not spinning even after connecting to motherboard?
I'm gana do the same whit thinkcentre m82
I have a tower elitedesk. It come with a random standard CPU cooler size and mounting holes. Which makes it complicated to swap. I'm not sure if I could use a nut four nuts to hold the CPU cooler in place?
Probably can. Just be super careful when tightening them and make sure they don't touch any circuits from the back. So, use very small nuts.
Power Button configuration for computers without split leads
This is almost exactly the same as my HP prodesk 600 G2. the only difference I see is the CPU cooler and mine only has 2 slots for ram. the insides aren't the same but the mobo are the same.
the main issue I had with my case transplant was the Power Button. HP, of course, had to make theirs proprietary and block pin 6 rather than pin 1 like normal PCs. My case doesn't have the Power supply leads split so I had to do some wacky wiring. Using your guide and this h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/pin-assignment-for-Power-On-off-Switch-led-Cable-710821-001/td-p/7458720
I basically put in the power button 90 degrees to what it should be. Normal cases have pins 8 and 6 being the power switch to I spanned those across what you have shown. HPs power switch is pins 7 and 8 so making putting pin 8 on the wire where pin 7 is on the motherboard and putting pin 6 on the wire to where pin 8 is on the mobo it works fine. Power light doesn't work but who cares lol.
For the cooler I just used the stock cooler and some nuts and bolts to hold it in.
Thanks
Here is a diagram

Cobuman, is the HP EliteDesk G1 800 SFF's motherboard size an Micro-ATX?
I don't think it's classified as that because it has a kind of in between shape. At some point I did side by side compared to standard atx size.
@@Cobuman I see so most likely its still a standard ATX then
@@jinotokieda yeah, close to it.

Hey first of all thank you. Do you deal with any errors on boot (having to press f1 because of intrusion sensor for example) or any other issues since you made the video? Thanks a lot
Why did you change the heatsink? Seems it could have been reused without a problem?
hi i have a hp elitedesk g2 and the adapter doesn't work any ideas how i could make it work i bought the one in your description
@@morefpsgamingftw3062 what kind of power supply are you using? I read on some of the Amazon reviews that the adapters don't work but its due to it being defective.
@@morefpsgamingftw3062 you'll have to find a diffrent adapter. I have a pro desk g1 and i had to buy 2 before i found a good one.. and make sure that your using a good power supply
So can I pull the whole thing out and hook it up with a 600w psu and an RX 580 8gb?
Does this work with the Hp compaq 8200 elite sff?
Hey . I just got amazed by this video . I have a HP PC but that's model is different and if I want to do this , my GPU gonna stick to the top of the case so I can't . I hope your UA-cam channel grow larger 👍
Cobuman dude really help a lot by providing 3D template for io panel. Tq
hellow my brother its 5 years but ur video brought me here umm i have the hp engage flex pro would it also work i really need to change mine thanks your time
I'm not sure. The models have changed a lot.
Also good if you want a low power pc in a rack mount case. I think you could have used nuts for the old heatsink as well.
Probably. Good tips!
using nuts to attach id probably get some plastic washers between those nuts and the mobo
Isn't the mounting brackets for the cpu fan non standard? I can't fit that Intel cooler on here. Am I missing something?
Fantastic Video. Was enjoyable and helped at the same time.
Hello. I have an hp z230 SFF and I am wondering if it is possible to do the same to transfer the motherboard to a larger case. History of being able to put a larger graphics card. Thank you
Possibly. They look very similar and orientation of mobo appears to be the same. Open it and take a look to compare if mobo looks to be the same size, shape and back I/O orientation.
@@Cobuman The two motherboards are really very close. I'm just wondering, if the power supply is the same as yours on the video. I have to test.
The rear is not the same though. I have another motherboard that no longer works and there are small differences, but that's okay. The most important thing is that it starts correctly when I press the button. I have read on forums, and some say it is not possible to start with anything other than the original button, but your video and there to prove otherwise.
Could you sell the backplate at 1:04 u were talking about

Hello, I plan to buy the HP 800 G1 Tower soon, and I want to move everything to a new case, I'm not sure if the motherboard is of standard dimensions, more precisely if the screw layout is the same as on a regular micro atx board (micro atx I think), so my the question is, can I transfer all my components (power supply and motherboard) to MS Cyclops V. I'm worried about the layout of the screws on that motherboard. Thanks
Hey what if i take out the cpu and ram and put it into an atx motherboard with same socket and stuff please respond and also can you please recommend one to me. Thank you i have hp 8100 elite sff
I don't know which computer you have but this is how you find your CPU socket: ua-cam.com/video/stcuFDSUTwE/v-deo.html
Once you figure what the socket is search with that number to find a motherboard. So, if you have 800 G1 the socket for that is LGA1150 and then you just search for that on Amazon. Like this: amzn.to/3dcvMGq
If you find motherboards that are too expensive... at that point you might as build a new computer with better/cheaper parts.
@@Cobuman my computer is hp 8100 elite small form factwr lga 1156 i think thank you

@@Cobuman yes i found it! Thank you the help!

Not only very informative but a very enjoyable video to watch. Your video encouraged me to choose the 600 G1 over some other SFF systems. A great job!
EDIT: I got a cannot beat deal on an 800 G1 and am in the process of transferring to a new case with a new PSU. A great system for basing a budget gaming system on.
What is this another sff system
It is an SFF system and I ended up getting an 800 G1 with an i5 4590 and it runs surprisingly well.
That motherboard looks the same size as the one in the broken Prodesk 600 g2 micro tower I have. I could just make life easy and put one of these in there. The IO part on the back looks identical and the power suply has the exact same connectors. Also this one has a better chipset, right?
It might be the same chipset but different CPU
Hey I was wondering if I could take my G2 elite desk sff motherboard and put it in a big case with a 400w G2 tower psu without hurting anything

if you have the skill you can do anything you want.
Thanks man, does it have extra pin for extra fan, sorry im jst new to this.
@@bineflextv5438 I forget to be honest. Check on the motherboard for extra fan connector, it should say "fan" next to it. Otherwise, you can use one of these adapters: amzn.to/3MSa8bq

Thanks, take care. 😁
cobuman I do have a question tho, if I where to buy the adapter what would it change like specs I mean. Is it a worse connection?
So what do you do if you dont have a 3d printer. I have an HP Elite 8300 so how would i change that?
this is exactly the video i was looking for omg thank you so much your the best you earned my like and sub today
Did the motherboard accept the newer GPU without any problems?
Yes, here is a video of me just adding an external GPU: ua-cam.com/video/tj2ws0mTm6E/v-deo.html
But yes, any GPU should work when used in larger PC case. Otherwise you can install a low profile card that fits inside the original sff case. Like this: amzn.to/3f05sxA
@cobuman, did you just assume the G3 would work or did you test it? It's a different motherboard after G2 and doesn't use a 6-pin connector. It uses the flat connector (PWRCMD) and a 4-pin (PWR). Guess it's too late now since I'd already ordered a G3. No pre-made adapters. :|
Depends which G3 you mean. If 800 G3 then you are correct. But if it's for example 705 G3 then it's the same. Sorry about confusion. Anyway, if you need extra power to run a large GPU you can also use a 2nd PSU just for that. Here is my video if interested: ua-cam.com/video/tj2ws0mTm6E/v-deo.html around 5min mark I show how to connect it.
@@Cobuman I think they still use that flat 7 pin (and actually has 7 wires instead of just 4) for PWRCMD. But they switched to using a 4-pin 12-volt (I think it's 12 volt) for the PWR. I've been trying to find the pinouts for the power supply on the elitedesk G3 but I can't really find anything.
@@MatthewLenz Yea, I didn't find anything either. It seems like it was a limited model or something. Are wires colored like yellow and black? If so you can check using volt meter and possibly reuse the connector by connecting to power supply source. Like connecting it to extra SATA power cable. Of course, be careful if you decide to do so. :)
@Matthew Lenz did you ever have any luck with the G3 ?
I have the g3 sff 800. How would I do the power to turn it on, also the hp is 7pin how would 6 work?
14:20 you are a savior!!! figured out led hdd led are the ones past the reserved and empty pins, but maybe no reset button and pwr leds?
Hey i have got a question I'd love for you to answer but what kind of board is it and how did you connect it to the case
all I know is that it's from an HP G2.
I am confused about your 24pin power supply connector.. I don't have an atx motherboard, just a regular HP-Z220 motherboard. How can I transfer 24 pins to the pins that my motherboard requires.. i feel like you mention it in the video but I watched the whole video and am still confused,
Power connector is a 4pin... the new poer supply i bought has a 8pin. Have to buy an adaptor. 8pin female to 4 pin male adaptor (Your links product wasnt available.) Also had to get a molex to 3 pin adaptor for the fans in the case. Harddrives connect to the outside/side-back of the case. The heatsink/fan i ordered (your link) they sent me the wrong one or it wasnt right for my hp. So i used the original but ripped the aluminum screwholes off of the old case.(wasnt difficult) waiting for new power adaptor to show up to.orrow.
Ive never done this before. I WISH I TOOK PICTURES OF THE UNTOUCHED MOTHERBOARD BEFORE I STARTED. So i could see the original configuration.
Hi mr Cobuman if ably re cases my pc and it went well, thanks for your guide.
very nice!
15:08 any link to a schematic of what goes where?
Tx :)
I got HP ELITEDESK 800 G2 DM does it work with the DM there ?? What’s the difference? But I’m ok if I get answered only does it work with it
I just purchased the same heatsink and fan for my 800 g1 with socket 1150mb and the heatsink isnt large enough. Only 2 of the holes line up
Weird. The one in video is pulled from i7 4770k which uses socket 1150... it's a standard intel heatsink so I'm not sure why it would not work for you. Unless you have a totally different PC or the heatsink you got is somehow different. Do you have an AMD PC by chance? Does it say intel on the heatsink just like in the video?
@@Cobuman My 800 g1 has an i5-4570 socket 1150. The heatsink I ordered and received was exactly like the one in the video, except my original heatsink and fan have a more rectangular mounting points and are not square as the new one has. I was at a point of no return last night so my fix was to just use my original heatsink and fan and I had to put nuts on the bottom of the mainboard and carefully tighten the heatsink down. It works and I am still happy to have the extra space of a regular size case, I hated that SFF case.
@@CallMeAdam2023 It should be squared. Well, I'm glad you got it worked out. I was going to suggest the same thing you already did. Good job.👍
@@Cobuman Every socket 1150 heatsink and fan I look at have square mounting points. I wonder why mine is rectangular? It clearly says LGA1150 right next to the cpu on the board. Oh well at least its working. The only other issue I have is at bootup I keep getting a warning about power supply fan not installed and it says front 1 and 2 USB are not present. But I hooked everything up the way it came off the old case so I dont understand that.
@@Cobuman My Case is the exact same one in your video except mine had no external 3.5. I appreciate you responding to my questions/issue as a creator myself I have noticed most UA-camrs over 3-5k subs do not even acknowledge their subscribers in the comments. You gained a sub!

Well I needed that video yesterday. I just cutted the CPU cooler holder out and screwed it on the MBU. For the USB and audio error I plugged the yellow USB in and actually used the 3.0 USB and 2 hubs.
No new power supply needed and did it the same way in the video with double sided tape additionally.
Biggest problem is the length of the cables.
I was able to disassemble the original switch on compartment and use the original LEDs and switch in the aftermarket case.

Works fine but the mbu and cpu is not really made to be upgraded this much.
How to upgrade the power supply? what connector i can use for it? 24 pin? 8 pìn? how i can do it? please i need your help! Thanks!
I'm assuming you have this same PC and for that you can use any ATX PSU with this adapter: amzn.to/2QGm17C
Hey can’t we use the old heat sink?
Not after you change the case because the old heat sink is screwed in to the original case metal. I guess if you find some small screws to hold it from the other side but you may damage the motherboard like that.
I bought the power supply you had in the comments as well as the adapter and when I went to power it on, nothing happened with the only sign of power being a blinking green light on the motherboard, which turned solid green when I used the power supply that came with the hp, it also powered on then, please help ne
It could be the adapter. Reach out to that company that sells the adapter on Amazon. They are pretty good at helping. I think the issue might be related to some wire that just needs to be swapped around.
@@Cobuman ok I will try that

So you only need the power switch to be plugged in?
I just transferred my HP Elitedesk 800 G1 to an old HP Pavilion case, added a gtx 1650 and I'm playing Forespoken right now. Extra things I had to do: 1.) Remove the power switch and lights from the front cover button, insert into the from cover of the Pavilion. 2.) To use my Elite desk cooling fan, I had to find some nuts that fit on the bolts in the fan too attach it to the mother board. The Elit desk mother does not have built in nuts. The fan bolts into the case. It ain't pretty but works like a champ.
I tried this but it doesn't work with any newly fabricated ones the motherboard is different and they removed the fan
