Yea but these days most companies know how to liquidate without a price drop. Say like Nvidia and their in-genius way to sell old hardware last year. From 1998-2006, I'd literally sell my rig right before new product launch to retain value. Then just build a new one and just wait 2-months for launch. I haven't been able to that in a decade+.
HP ProDesk, nice! That is my daily driver, with an i7-4770, 16GB RAM and upgraded to a SSD. Great top with cutting up the cooler backplate to secure the HP heatsink. On my machine ESC accesses a general menu from which you can then select boot menu, BIOS and other options.
does hp prodesk 400 g2 ms1280 ver 1.2 motherboard support xeon e3-1230 v3 aka i7 47xx ?thx in advance PhilsComputerLab i am your regular subscriber and love your clips ;)
@FluffyWolves Hi, i know this comment is very old but I am thinking of doing the exact same thing. Were there any problems when mounting the CPU cooler?
I recently put together a solid deal i am proud of. I7 920, 12GB of ddr3, evga x58 sli motherboard, r9 390, 120gb ssd, 500gb hdd, 750watt psu, and a decent case for 200 $USD.
MrAgentGrover Well I just put together a really good pc for the money as well. AMD Phenom ii X6 1075t, 8gb adata gaming series ram in quad channel, R9 390, 120gb adata ssd, 500gb 7200rpm HDD, 650 watt 80+ bronze PSU, and a $70 case that I got for $40 and this all cost me $210
Get x5675 Xeon on Ebay for $25 and overclock to 4.5-4.7 ghz, and it will smoke i7 920, and will be close to i7 4790k at 4.5 ghz. Plus you will get 6 cores instead of 4. Prior, update bios on motherboard. If you brick your cpu overclocking, you got another $25 bucks to spend
HP ProDesk 600 PSU Main Power 24-Pin to 6-Pin Adapter Cable (30cm) using Top quality UL1007 18AWG Suitable for most HP models, e.g. HP ProDesk 600 and related models. This adapter cable will make any standard ATX power supply works with your HP ProDesk 600 workstation. ProDesk 600 workstation power connectors
yes thats what i used. well, mine was for an 8300 but basically the same thing. i later realized that all it does thats special is up the 5V standby ATX uses to HP 12V standby. so you could just wire it up yourself from the old plugs and a tiny board with a stepper if you know basic electronics and soldering. and this applies to any proprietary psu. most all have the needed 12v, neg12v, 5v, and 3.3v. some are multirail so in that case you want to make sure your cpu and gpu are on different rails.
11:47 That has to be a problem on the power meter's side. It's electrically impossible for the PSU to effect a (wall socket side) power meter in such a way and still work normally. From the PSU's perspective, the power meter doesn't exist
Might be using ground as a neutral and/or has the HOT and NEUTRAL inverted. Therefore bypassing entirely the power meters method. With no ground, it shouldn't work at all or it should actually measure the usage. more than likely the hot is inverted though.
Where are you ? In my country - 10:30 am :))))) also because I am in another part of the world australians usually uploads videos like in the morning XD and americans like in 4 am XD
I'm 16 and i just started to be able to get decent PC's from selling for profit and then building a better system so on and so on I first got interested in PC's when I was 11 I saw my half brothers PC and it had blood red water-cooling it was so bad ass and ever since I've discovered your channel I've learned alot from flipping PC's and such so one day I will have a bad ass PC like my half brothers thanks!
I always love the OEM hustle videos. You get the rigs for a great price, make a few bucks, save a pc from the landfill, and clue us into what systems work best for gaming. For instance I had no idea that Sandy Bridge era HP rigs had trouble with newer graphics cards.
how new of cards and what rigs? i have an HP 8300 board with a 2550K and RX480 8GB. technically its an Ivy Bridge mobo (q77) so maybe thats the difference? i can play new games like Warzone and The Outer Worlds that are reasonably demanding on 1080 max and stay at 60 locked. RX480 is overclocked to just under 1400.
Got a hp dc5800 pc from the dumster Its nice could try to reinstall windows clean it then sell it Lets give it some tech yes loving *starts playing i wish i was a mad man*
@@noamseitz3521 That 1150 one should be worth quite a bit depending on what you do with it. I got an HP EliteDesk 800 (almost the same one in the video) though it's a standard Micro ATX size (still figuring out and hoping it fits standard MATX boards inside) with a 4590 and 8GB RAM. Threw in a PNY 120GB SSD and an RX 460 and it's running well so far. What I'd like to do is get an LGA 1150 board that's MATX and transplant the CPU, RAM and GPU to the new board, and then fit it in the case with a new PSU.
I just finished with a build close to this. I was on the fence about buying another XBox/Playstation anything. I started out with an HP Desk Pro 600 G1 SFF that I had for a couple years and it worked well as a surfer/streamer and a crummy Music Work Station. The first thing I did was swap the HD for a Samsung 850 Evo SSD at $90, a whole world of difference. I swapped out mem and replaced with 32 gigs of crucial 1600mhz DDR3 that I got for $75 on Ebay and put a GTX1060 in it I also found on EBay for $150. I couldn't close the case after that and I had to get a second PSU, jump the power to ground on the ATX connector to provide power for the GPU because there was no 6pin PCI power on the HP and at 260 watts I doubted it's ability to power the GPU. I also got a Sound Blaster XAE5 cause I make music on this thing too. World of Warcrafts played great at all resolutions, and then I started looking into other games. I noticed that CPU and GPU were maxed out while playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3. And then the 1060 died at the same time the cheap PSU I bought for $30 fried, probably related, sad. So I got a Corsair 850Watt PSU NEW realizing what I would have to do in the future. I replaced the GPU with a GTX 1660 TI new from Micro Center $300. GPU utilization dropped but CPU was still maxed. I replaced the I5 4560 with an I7 4790K also from Ebay for $250 from China but had to turn turbo off in bios due to over heating and current throttling (always make sure you are running the latest BIOS version). At that point I realized that the motherboard was the bottleneck and simply not sophisticated enough to provide stable power and thermal management for the new CPU. So I bought an MSI Gaming 5 on Ebay for $150, it took almost a month to arrive from China but worth the wait. I then purchased a Corsair Chrystal 460 case cause NEW I was tired of the Pi look. A Corsair H100i $130 and a Corsair Commander Pro for $70 at Micro Center cause I like my lights to sync. And a Crucial 1TB NVME M.2 I think it was around $100. I de-lided the 4790k and Conductonaut under the IHS and Kryonaut on top. And another 32 Gigs of mem only Hyper X Fury at 1860mhz ebay, about $200. Now everything runs great! CPU overclocked to 4.6Ghz and stable with temps never above 62c. I tried some overclocking on the 1660 TI and saw some really outstanding benchmarks but found things ran a great deal smoother without overclocking when actually playing games. (I wanna' get a 2080 super maybe). I also de-lidded/Condutonauted the 4560, put it back in the HP, left the Crucial mem in and the 850 Evo put the lid back on the case and gave it to my wife who works from home and had another HP but older with an Athalon (YUCK!!!). so in short, this can work but you will find that the MB and PSU of the original HP will be sorely lacking in performance, management and features. It's kind of like putting a super charger on a Ford Pinto. And don't be afraid to buy cheap stuff from China, it's worked out great for me. Oh and one more thing, those USB 3.0s on the HP you know the blue ones, aren't. They are "USB 3.0 Supported" in HPs world that's the same, it's not. They will recognize USB 3.0 devices but will only 'speak' in legacy USB. So NO VR support with the HP board. It was the purchase of an Oculus Rift S that made me buy the MSI motherboard. I did this over the span of about 9 months so the cost was very stretched out and manageable.
@@MasterReaperSID his photo is a troll of that game. People with his photo are actually fortnite fans that support a UA-cam called "maximilianmus". It's all a troll, don't believe whatever "blah blah blah deus ex Denton this" bullshit.
That's cool. I'd probably 3d print an extension cover for that PSU which has that bit gap in the back. I think 3D printing offers a lot to the PC community, especially the used parts community that might be pairing gear from different machines and generations. Considering the low cost of 3D printers and the relative ease of designing functional parts, I'm surprised it isn't used more frequently.
I got a Hp ProDesk G1 600 for $20 barebones. With an i7 4790k, gtx 1650 low profile, and 32gb ddr3, the whole system came to $440. For that spec, I think it's a great price.
Thank you Tech Yes City! Your videos and channel inspired me to do what you did and it turns out that it was a thing that I love doing, flipping PC’s, building gaming PC’s from second-hand components bought cheap!
@@ruhankarsten7352 Your and Fadi Joestar's comments makes no fucking sense, why will we dislike a VFM used parts PC build when most of enthusiasts here do the exact same thing? Only a rich spoiled brat living in US who buys the latest hardware will dislike YESman's videos, also everyone here is on Windows 10 because piracy I'm Indian and have a decent PC I built with a GTX 970 3 years back, not everyone in the world lives in US where they get PC parts for cheap, PC hardware is overpriced in our country because they travel all the way around the world from US to come to our country even though China is right fucking next to us and also we have high import duties
I have the HP Prodesk 600 G1 SFF. It’s a decent PC. I suggest popping in an SSD, 8 or 16GB of RAM and a low profile Graphics card. The bios key is F10 The Boot menu key is F9 And overall great system. Love the design of the case. I’ve taken all the parts out and into a better case so I can fit a better graphics card in. With all that, an SSD, 8GB of ram, and a much better graphic card. You can play Minecraft, GTA V and even fortnite
cool lol im getting a refurbished hp pro desk 600 g1 for only 90 dollars has a i5 4570 a 8 gb ram 240 psu and im ordering a gt 1030 low profile its my first pc so im excited im not expecting to play 4k raytracing triple a games im mainly getting it for small indie games and possible mine craft im gonna upgrade to a gtx 1650 low profile when i can and a 16 gb ram soon
Bryan, you can find a proprietary PSU cable adapter on eBay and that way use any PSU on an OEM HP system, try searching for (24pin to 6pin hp OEM) should come up, I've used it before and it does the job, though it looks sketchy and I would not recommend going over 500W with that adapter cable.
I actually have the adapter with my elitedesk 800 g2 mini system as i move all the parts to a new case and bought a new psu and a rx580. It works but i need to change the pinout for the 6pin cable because there are different pinouts for different hp motherboard. If u are interested in it u could just google and find the pinouts online.
Wouldn't recommend going over 500 watts....? The adapter doesn't really care how big your power supply is or what GPU is connected. With the OEM dell optiplex computers they need a adapter similar to this and all it does is converts the 5volts standby power to 12volts.
Recently put together a PC for my sister using a Lenovo Thinkcentre Edge I5 3470s, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD + 512 HDD, GTX 750Ti, Thermaltake power supply and a 19 inch monitor for $220 Prebuilts, especially Lenovos are quite easy to work with (less proprietary parts) and generally cheaper compared to the likes of Dell Optiplex or HP (at least in Malaysia).
I would be very weary of a sata to pcie 6 pin adapter. I would definitely change the psu instead of doing this just to save a buck. (and to have a gaping hole in psu area)
There are wiring harnesses that you can buy on Amazon for relatively cheap that will allow you to use a non proprietary power supply with an HP motherboard. I'm in the process of building a NAS for my ESXi cluster using an old HP ProDesk 800. The 320w power supply isn't enough to run 16 drives, a RAID card and RAID expander card.
This is practically what I did, I took my shitty HP prebuilt (HP Pavilion 580-199ng) and moved it into a new case (be quiet Pure Base 500DX) and now it's like a brand new PC with perfect airflow, I love it. Some parts (GPU, PSU, RAM etc.) were upgraded by me in the prebuilt though, but I got tired of the shitty "airflow" in that case and moved it.
@@lunchie80 and your supposed to run the system under load at HALF the psu rating, so sorry your math dosnt add up power supplies are rated at 50% load for thier bronze/silver rating ,running a psu at 100% will end in sorrow very very quickly EDIT i just run this system thru seasonic psu calculator LOAD WATTAGE = 299 WATTS amd also recoomend a 450w psu it seems your math is very wrong mate unless of course you know far more than amd and seasonic (seasonic of course being the worlds foremost power supply company) and as said before if your using a gold rated psu to get that gold efficiency you need to have it running on load at 50% of its wattage rating the thing is your making comments declaring it as a fact ,and this is terrible incorrect ,and misleads other people into making incorrect and bad decisions please think before posting an opinion that is bad as a fact
I did this with a Prodesk 600G1 (i5 4590) a couple of years ago. I used an HP server adapter to change the 6-Pin and 3 Pin PSU plugs to a 24-pin which allowed me to put in a 500W PSU and a GTX760 (which I recently upgraded to a 1060 when I put a 1080Ti in my Main build). I did have to change the order of the 3 pin on the adapter to match the config of the 3 pin that came from the original PSU, but that was simple enough, just poked the headers through the plastic housing of the connector, and pushed them back in the correct order for the PC. I also used a Low profile USB3 adapter to solve the GPU overhang problem. These HP pc's are great value for money now days! The only issue with using a custom PSU is that you have to press F1 every time you boot it because it can't detect the PSU fan. But everything works perfectly! I recommend it!
Well if the front panel headers are all separated it should be really easy, just hook up each connector to the right 2 pins. However if you have one large front panel connector you should cut it off and add your own separate headers
Lookup an XPS 700 series LED re-wire thread. There are a couple out there, I've done multiples and hardwired all the multicolor LEDs to single colors. Including all the front panel and fan connectors/headers. It's just current and wires, check my channel for my Dell AIO power supply hack. Put a 300w regular power supply into a Dell all in one after the compact power supply burned out.
@@Brandon-uy1uv Nah, you can just repin the connector using a needle to push in the tabs on each pin and reseat them into the connector. Or you just cut the end off and wire in new standard front panel ends to the old wires. In a lot of cases, you don't even need to change anything because most is still the same. An Acer I just reused the case on, the front panel is one connector, but it lines up perfectly and i didn't have to rewire anything, just plugged the whole cable in and everything was fine. Less chance with Dell, but they usually have pinout listed somewhere, or some dude like me figures it out and posts it on a forum.
I did the same thing with the last computer I had except the power supply was proprietary so I changed the case on that to and had to put jumpers in to short the two grounds on the front USB and audio that wasn't used otherwise it'd bring up an error that it wasn't connected.
I just moved a HP elite desk 800 G2 into a HP pavilion 500 pc series case(can’t find the specific model number) and I tried to find the cpu heatsink screw oles and there WERE NONE, until I realised I needed a bracket or a intel lga 1151 OEM cooler that just clips in
I've scored a huge deal in germany. Got a i5 3550 with an Asus Z77 Motherboard, case and psu for 2€ 😂 Next used price to performance PC in the works, while I'm watching your Video 👍🏽
Really enjoyed this video. I myself got my grandad’s inspiron pc with a i5 2400 inside. Took it all out and put it in a new case. New fans, SSD and PSU with a 1050 ti. Works a treat.
Take a dremmel tool or a grinder with a metal disk cutter and cut out that portion where the heatsink screws into the original case. I have done that in the past and it works well.just sand down the rough edges afterwards to prevent cutting your hands while handling.
I made a build similar to this about a year ago using an 800 g1 tower, ended up pretty similar to this, you can use a standard atx power supply with this motherboard
What size can can I use for that q87 express motherboard? I'm trying to get the smallest one, but because it's 12"x9", does that mean I have to use a mid tower?
it's 2024 im running a prodesk 600G4 upgrading the PSU to a 400w and adding a 1060 3g this coming week ill let yall know how this works if it does thanks
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!
To get around your watt reading issue. Buy a clamp meter of some description. Then you need and extension lead with either the active or neutral apart from each other. Rough way use tape, or not so rough use heat shrink. That will give you the current. Then is just ohms law from there. So Australia is approx 240 volts. W=VxIxPF, assuming PF is close enough to 1, you should have about 1 amp max on you clamp meter. 240 x 1 x1 =240watts.
There are PSU adapters out there that can make use of a standard PSU, like the ones for HP Z420. It would be good to see if these adapters work, given the HP power supplies have a non-standard 11-volt rail.
The watt meter issue is odd. I have a 600 G1 SSF under my workbench. I put a 1050 Ti in it and on my watt meter I measured a max of 125 watts from the wall for a full system load. It worked just fine for me, and I have that same PSU in mine.
I gutted a dell Optiplex and used most of the parts to build a pc for my daughter. Even taught her how to build a PC in the process. I love videos like this.
That HP uses just a 6 pin as its motherboard power i tried transplanting it to a new case and it was a nightmare EDIT: I remembered that i tried to install a second power supply but it ended up setting my monitor's power cable on fire lol
If anyone is having/Modding this HP System and want to use even a higher wattage GPU like RX580 or GTX 1070, so want to upgrade the Power Supply with a aftermarket ATX power Supply like one from EVGA or Corsair .......... you just need a HP ProDesk 600 PSU Main Power 24-Pin to 6-Pin Adapter Cable (30cm) like this - www.moddiy.com/products/HP-ProDesk-600-PSU-Main-Power-24%252dPin-to-6%252dPin-Adapter-Cable-%2830cm%29.html
try putting it on an extension cord with something else connected to the extension cord, plug extension into your kiliwatt tester and subtract what the other items uses!.
I have US$ 2000 parts in an office pc case. My friends asked how the hell i can play a game. When i opened up the side of the case, they were surprised lmao.
Nice looking end product Bryan. You can get adapters for hp motherboards so that you can use a standard power supply. Good work making this system run. Cheers, Mon from Brisbane.
@Deadpoppin no way. just search rx 570 power consumption. techpowerup has the sapphire pulse rx570 4gb at 180w peak power consumption. i have an nitro+ rx 580 and typical gaming load is around 160w with peak load at around 180w according to afterburner.
I have the same power reader. Sometimes it does that for no reason. Disconnect it and try again and eventually it works. Happens to me from time to time
Love your content. Just built a dirt cheap itx rig with q67 intel (second gen restricted), i5 2500, rx 470. For 1080p gaming it works just fine and we are talking 2011 mobo and CPU. Sharkoon QB 1 case, a perfectly quiet powerhouse in 2019.
I have used an dell motherboard from an xps desktop and put it in my beige hightower. At first indeed i couldnt start it because of that proprietary on/off switch. After some (multimeter) " research " i figured out if i bridge 3 pins i could use just an regular switch to start the pc. I made an jumper out of an old ide-data connector and its working fine. If your interested i could share that information (not shure it will be the same on every dell system)
the esc command works, but you have to press it before the missing hardware press f1 to boot screen appears, and then once selected you have to press f1 to boot to bios.
Hey man, I used to rebuild dead Dell XPS 700 series as overkill media centers with tiny HP DC5850 BTX boards and even hardwired all the multicolor LEDs, front panel cables and fan connectors. Nothing was standard in those XPS systems way back when.
@@SaintInix Xps are nice systems, but your standard office brick are petty hard to get something useful out of, other than parts. That is just in my opinion
@@Vorper Yeah, my pops uses an older HP desktop for his 3d printing, but that was back in like 2010 that i was doing the thing with the XPS systems. Wouldn't do that now of course.
Hey Tech Yes City can you make this build into tutorial because I’m am curious to see how you transform into a big case and figure where the power button connected to the hp motherboard from the front panel and fitting on the case.
can you not get a Little Devil PC-V10 case and you can lose the cooling fan but the install will require using conformal coating and kneeded eraser to keep the moisture away from the electronics, then the relay in said case will start the system up when the cooler head reaches -70 degrees below zero.
I love my little HP EliteDesk 800 G1. I purchased it with a 4th Gen Core i5, 500GB HDD, 4GB of DDR3 and Windows 7 and on-board USB 3.0 for about $100 USD about 18 months ago off E-Bay. It now has a Core i7-4790 running the stock cooler, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 24GB DDR3, a low profile GeForce 1050TI., and a dual band add-in WIFI card running at 5G. It's hooked up to a 44" 1080p smart TV for a monitor. I can play most gaming titles without too much trouble at relatively descent FPS (40's to 80's). All the components were used or 'open box' items and I've got about $350 USD in the whole system (minus the TV) Oh... and I forgot to mention, all this is being run on the original proprietary 280 watt PSU! Very fast, very stable system with no hick-ups or problems yet for about a year now.
I usualy use molex to fan header adapter for prebuilds like this to power the fans at 5V. THat usualy makes them silent and you can stuff some cheap things in the build, yet still have enough cooling effect. I have an Core2Quad 9300 I think run with a tiny cooler and a 90mm fan. It runs with 5V, keeping the CPU under 68° while under load. Crazy to think how much room for cooling it still has, if being a bit louder. If only I could regulate with temperature.
I took a Lenovo E73 tower and found a midi tower with more room and cool fans, change the powersupply with a a adaptor 10 pins to 24 found on amazon 6$, and midi tower 35$ and I had a 1060 Ti graphiccard, a ssd and 8 gb of ram, look liked a dream insted of an office pc, I sold it 2 hours after putting it fore sale, the pc run good and the client is happy, I made som money on what i had laying around.
I have a similar power meter and some times it lock up and the reading on the display don't change. If you disconnect it from the power it will reset and will work correctly again. The battery also must be removed temporarily.
I just fit an Antec 500w power supply to run my HP 8300. If you know what you're doing and know how to solder it's easy just a real pain in the pants. Also handy is a crimper and some crimps for the motherboard and CPU plugs. Also you will need a voltage booster for the 5vsb to raise it to 12vsb. I mounted it on a piece of an old psu case I cut to rivet under the Antec. All the cable ends are custom fit so there's not any excess wire. I used the psu wires for all the peripherals so as not to overbear the HP feeds from the motherboad, and routed some excess wires for the usb3 power feed with a soldered together molex connector for that card. The sata connectors are reusable with a punch down tool, so it looks so good Its a shame to put the cover on it, but now I'm ready with two 22 amp rails divvied up to the motherboard and the video card 6 pin socket , All I need now is a good cheap video card and then I will start to learn gaming to pass the covid time. Just patting myself on the back here................................Mike
I know this may be a dumb question, but what is the name of the pc case that’s used at the end of the video? I’m actually building my first gaming pc, and I really like that case that’s used at the end of the video, but I just have no idea what the name is and I would love to buy one.
I built one of these with a Cullinan MX case and a 1650 to make a fortenite box for a buddy best part about the Zotac 1650 is that it doesn't require additional power it just runs off of the PSIe slot which makes things a bit easier. Thinking about using another one of these I found for free (it's all messed up and doesn't work) to use the heatsink to fabricate brackets to maybe try and mount a Hyper 212 to it but if not it's fine it would just be nice to have the RGB heatsink that also works as well as that one does. Cheers.
Is there a heatsink bracket i can buy so i can use any heatsink ? Since the holes for the heatsink isnt like the usual LGA 1150.. Please answer i kinda need em so i can use better heatsinks
Brian, got some knowledge to share. Most HP business computers do support newer nvidia graphics cards. HP 4000/6000/8000 series are good for cheap gaming builds. If you have issues just update bios to latest version. 3000 series are not really businessmodels, they are closer to HP's consumerlineup. No bios updates. Newer models work fine too. HP 400/600/800 series. Speaking from experience, I've put together many 6000/8000 series HP computers with nvidia GPU's. GTX 750/750ti/950/960/1030/1050/1050ti/1060 3gb. Just update the bios before. I'm currently typing this on a HP Elite 8000 SFF, Q9450,16GB, GT 1030 low profile. HP's consumer computers with clarksdale/lynnfield/sandy/ivy bridge are a nightmare. MSI has AMD r9 200 series with bios switch for legacy. Sapphire nitro has it on both 200 and 300 series.
Those HPs actually work great with a 1050ti low profile as it runs off just the PCIE power. I had one in an HP 8300 for a while as I was building my main system (which weirdly used almost exactly the glass case you used here).
I've just finished 2 of these builds with a 1060 6gb and 450w psu's. Power cable adaptor from atx 24pin to 6pin + 4pin plug. Just brilliant price performance!!
Love these videos Bryan, would have been cool to see maybe a bit of aluminium off the old case as a cover to the power supply backing and cover the hole. Keep it up!

HP ProDesk 600 PSU Main Power 24-Pin to 6-Pin Adapter Cable (30cm) using Top quality UL1007 18AWG
Suitable for most HP models, e.g. HP ProDesk 600 and related models.
This adapter cable will make any standard ATX power supply works with your HP ProDesk 600 workstation. ProDesk 600 workstation power connectors
yes thats what i used. well, mine was for an 8300 but basically the same thing. i later realized that all it does thats special is up the 5V standby ATX uses to HP 12V standby. so you could just wire it up yourself from the old plugs and a tiny board with a stepper if you know basic electronics and soldering. and this applies to any proprietary psu. most all have the needed 12v, neg12v, 5v, and 3.3v. some are multirail so in that case you want to make sure your cpu and gpu are on different rails.
11:47 That has to be a problem on the power meter's side. It's electrically impossible for the PSU to effect a (wall socket side) power meter in such a way and still work normally. From the PSU's perspective, the power meter doesn't exist
Might be using ground as a neutral and/or has the HOT and NEUTRAL inverted. Therefore bypassing entirely the power meters method. With no ground, it shouldn't work at all or it should actually measure the usage. more than likely the hot is inverted though.

4 lga 775 1 lga 1150 and one 1155
@@noamseitz3521 That 1150 one should be worth quite a bit depending on what you do with it. I got an HP EliteDesk 800 (almost the same one in the video) though it's a standard Micro ATX size (still figuring out and hoping it fits standard MATX boards inside) with a 4590 and 8GB RAM. Threw in a PNY 120GB SSD and an RX 460 and it's running well so far.
What I'd like to do is get an LGA 1150 board that's MATX and transplant the CPU, RAM and GPU to the new board, and then fit it in the case with a new PSU.
@@noamseitz3521 i got 8gb of ddr4 in unknown condition
Update the bios and install linux mint. Ive done it.
I just finished with a build close to this. I was on the fence about buying another XBox/Playstation anything. I started out with an HP Desk Pro 600 G1 SFF that I had for a couple years and it worked well as a surfer/streamer and a crummy Music Work Station. The first thing I did was swap the HD for a Samsung 850 Evo SSD at $90, a whole world of difference. I swapped out mem and replaced with 32 gigs of crucial 1600mhz DDR3 that I got for $75 on Ebay and put a GTX1060 in it I also found on EBay for $150. I couldn't close the case after that and I had to get a second PSU, jump the power to ground on the ATX connector to provide power for the GPU because there was no 6pin PCI power on the HP and at 260 watts I doubted it's ability to power the GPU. I also got a Sound Blaster XAE5 cause I make music on this thing too. World of Warcrafts played great at all resolutions, and then I started looking into other games. I noticed that CPU and GPU were maxed out while playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3. And then the 1060 died at the same time the cheap PSU I bought for $30 fried, probably related, sad. So I got a Corsair 850Watt PSU NEW realizing what I would have to do in the future. I replaced the GPU with a GTX 1660 TI new from Micro Center $300. GPU utilization dropped but CPU was still maxed. I replaced the I5 4560 with an I7 4790K also from Ebay for $250 from China but had to turn turbo off in bios due to over heating and current throttling (always make sure you are running the latest BIOS version). At that point I realized that the motherboard was the bottleneck and simply not sophisticated enough to provide stable power and thermal management for the new CPU. So I bought an MSI Gaming 5 on Ebay for $150, it took almost a month to arrive from China but worth the wait. I then purchased a Corsair Chrystal 460 case cause NEW I was tired of the Pi look. A Corsair H100i $130 and a Corsair Commander Pro for $70 at Micro Center cause I like my lights to sync. And a Crucial 1TB NVME M.2 I think it was around $100. I de-lided the 4790k and Conductonaut under the IHS and Kryonaut on top. And another 32 Gigs of mem only Hyper X Fury at 1860mhz ebay, about $200. Now everything runs great! CPU overclocked to 4.6Ghz and stable with temps never above 62c. I tried some overclocking on the 1660 TI and saw some really outstanding benchmarks but found things ran a great deal smoother without overclocking when actually playing games. (I wanna' get a 2080 super maybe). I also de-lidded/Condutonauted the 4560, put it back in the HP, left the Crucial mem in and the 850 Evo put the lid back on the case and gave it to my wife who works from home and had another HP but older with an Athalon (YUCK!!!). so in short, this can work but you will find that the MB and PSU of the original HP will be sorely lacking in performance, management and features. It's kind of like putting a super charger on a Ford Pinto. And don't be afraid to buy cheap stuff from China, it's worked out great for me. Oh and one more thing, those USB 3.0s on the HP you know the blue ones, aren't. They are "USB 3.0 Supported" in HPs world that's the same, it's not. They will recognize USB 3.0 devices but will only 'speak' in legacy USB. So NO VR support with the HP board. It was the purchase of an Oculus Rift S that made me buy the MSI motherboard. I did this over the span of about 9 months so the cost was very stretched out and manageable.

That's cool. I'd probably 3d print an extension cover for that PSU which has that bit gap in the back. I think 3D printing offers a lot to the PC community, especially the used parts community that might be pairing gear from different machines and generations. Considering the low cost of 3D printers and the relative ease of designing functional parts, I'm surprised it isn't used more frequently.
Finally all of the i3/i5 stuff is starting to get into my price range, instead of just C2D era. This is going to be fun.
I got a Hp ProDesk G1 600 for $20 barebones. With an i7 4790k, gtx 1650 low profile, and 32gb ddr3, the whole system came to $440. For that spec, I think it's a great price.

Bryan, you can find a proprietary PSU cable adapter on eBay and that way use any PSU on an OEM HP system, try searching for (24pin to 6pin hp OEM) should come up, I've used it before and it does the job, though it looks sketchy and I would not recommend going over 500W with that adapter cable.
I actually have the adapter with my elitedesk 800 g2 mini system as i move all the parts to a new case and bought a new psu and a rx580. It works but i need to change the pinout for the 6pin cable because there are different pinouts for different hp motherboard. If u are interested in it u could just google and find the pinouts online.
Wouldn't recommend going over 500 watts....? The adapter doesn't really care how big your power supply is or what GPU is connected. With the OEM dell optiplex computers they need a adapter similar to this and all it does is converts the 5volts standby power to 12volts.
For the BIOS of the HP one you have to press escape while boot up until the f1 screen appears and then press F1
Tech yes city, yes great to see you do some hustling and doing HP 4 Gen rebuild with RX 470😎
Recently put together a PC for my sister using a Lenovo Thinkcentre Edge
I5 3470s, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD + 512 HDD, GTX 750Ti, Thermaltake power supply and a 19 inch monitor for $220
Prebuilts, especially Lenovos are quite easy to work with (less proprietary parts) and generally cheaper compared to the likes of Dell Optiplex or HP (at least in Malaysia).
I would be very weary of a sata to pcie 6 pin adapter. I would definitely change the psu instead of doing this just to save a buck. (and to have a gaping hole in psu area)
Its safe. This is very good quality supply and processor with an "s". You would probably replace it by some junk psu just for genuine 6pin connector.
I’m just doing one of these builds, you can buy an adapter to use a standard power supply for around $15 USD.
Love your Frankenstein builds, always learn something new.
There are wiring harnesses that you can buy on Amazon for relatively cheap that will allow you to use a non proprietary power supply with an HP motherboard. I'm in the process of building a NAS for my ESXi cluster using an old HP ProDesk 800. The 320w power supply isn't enough to run 16 drives, a RAID card and RAID expander card.
Hey curious, what did you do about the i/o plate? The dell/hp rebuilds have it built into the case so not transferable idk
This is practically what I did, I took my shitty HP prebuilt (HP Pavilion 580-199ng) and moved it into a new case (be quiet Pure Base 500DX) and now it's like a brand new PC with perfect airflow, I love it. Some parts (GPU, PSU, RAM etc.) were upgraded by me in the prebuilt though, but I got tired of the shitty "airflow" in that case and moved it.
how on earth are you using a rx 470 with 240watt psu?
Stock an Rx470 draws 120w. That leaves 120w for the cpu(and that's a low power 65w cpu) leaving 55w to power a couple of 2w fans and a 10w hdd.
It seems fucked up, but It isn't
@@lunchie80 and your supposed to run the system under load at HALF the psu rating, so sorry your math dosnt add up
power supplies are rated at 50% load for thier bronze/silver rating ,running a psu at 100% will end in sorrow very very quickly

LOAD WATTAGE = 299 WATTS amd also recoomend a 450w psu
it seems your math is very wrong mate unless of course you know far more than amd and seasonic (seasonic of course being the worlds foremost power supply company)
and as said before if your using a gold rated psu to get that gold efficiency you need to have it running on load at 50% of its wattage rating
the thing is your making comments declaring it as a fact ,and this is terrible incorrect ,and misleads other people into making incorrect and bad decisions
please think before posting an opinion that is bad as a fact

I did this with a Prodesk 600G1 (i5 4590) a couple of years ago. I used an HP server adapter to change the 6-Pin and 3 Pin PSU plugs to a 24-pin which allowed me to put in a 500W PSU and a GTX760 (which I recently upgraded to a 1060 when I put a 1080Ti in my Main build). I did have to change the order of the 3 pin on the adapter to match the config of the 3 pin that came from the original PSU, but that was simple enough, just poked the headers through the plastic housing of the connector, and pushed them back in the correct order for the PC.
I also used a Low profile USB3 adapter to solve the GPU overhang problem. These HP pc's are great value for money now days! The only issue with using a custom PSU is that you have to press F1 every time you boot it because it can't detect the PSU fan. But everything works perfectly! I recommend it!
How do you get the standard front panel headers to connect to a dell oem motherboard if they are different?
Magic.
Well if the front panel headers are all separated it should be really easy, just hook up each connector to the right 2 pins. However if you have one large front panel connector you should cut it off and add your own separate headers
Lookup an XPS 700 series LED re-wire thread. There are a couple out there, I've done multiples and hardwired all the multicolor LEDs to single colors. Including all the front panel and fan connectors/headers.
It's just current and wires, check my channel for my Dell AIO power supply hack. Put a 300w regular power supply into a Dell all in one after the compact power supply burned out.
You probably have to solder them in following a pin diagram from the internet
@@Brandon-uy1uv Nah, you can just repin the connector using a needle to push in the tabs on each pin and reseat them into the connector.
Or you just cut the end off and wire in new standard front panel ends to the old wires.
In a lot of cases, you don't even need to change anything because most is still the same. An Acer I just reused the case on, the front panel is one connector, but it lines up perfectly and i didn't have to rewire anything, just plugged the whole cable in and everything was fine.
Less chance with Dell, but they usually have pinout listed somewhere, or some dude like me figures it out and posts it on a forum.
I did the same thing with the last computer I had except the power supply was proprietary so I changed the case on that to and had to put jumpers in to short the two grounds on the front USB and audio that wasn't used otherwise it'd bring up an error that it wasn't connected.
Hey Pam which of the 4 grounds did you short for the front usb? Assuming that it is the frontal 3.0 you talking about. Thanks!

To get around your watt reading issue. Buy a clamp meter of some description. Then you need and extension lead with either the active or neutral apart from each other. Rough way use tape, or not so rough use heat shrink. That will give you the current. Then is just ohms law from there. So Australia is approx 240 volts. W=VxIxPF, assuming PF is close enough to 1, you should have about 1 amp max on you clamp meter. 240 x 1 x1 =240watts.
There are PSU adapters out there that can make use of a standard PSU, like the ones for HP Z420. It would be good to see if these adapters work, given the HP power supplies have a non-standard 11-volt rail.
The watt meter issue is odd. I have a 600 G1 SSF under my workbench. I put a 1050 Ti in it and on my watt meter I measured a max of 125 watts from the wall for a full system load. It worked just fine for me, and I have that same PSU in mine.

Hey Tech Yes City can you make this build into tutorial because I’m am curious to see how you transform into a big case and figure where the power button connected to the hp motherboard from the front panel and fitting on the case.
That's exactly what I want to know
Here's a drinking game. Every time Brian says "Hatche Pee" take a shot.
4/4Bassics rightt
24 pin to 6pin adapter with a couple wires on the 6pin end moved around can allow you to use aftermarket ATX power supplies.
Sorry im late

You are the first comment
Hi Late I'm Marko
Do you still have the size of the nuts used for the cooler??*
When I have the hardrive plugged in it turns on and loads into windows but when I plug in my SSD it won't load? Any suggestions
can you not get a Little Devil PC-V10 case and you can lose the cooling fan but the install will require using conformal coating and kneeded eraser to keep the moisture away from the electronics, then the relay in said case will start the system up when the cooler head reaches -70 degrees below zero.
You could try getting PSU adapter for proprietary motherboard connectors from hp and Dell
I love my little HP EliteDesk 800 G1. I purchased it with a 4th Gen Core i5, 500GB HDD, 4GB of DDR3 and Windows 7 and on-board USB 3.0 for about $100 USD about 18 months ago off E-Bay. It now has a Core i7-4790 running the stock cooler, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 24GB DDR3, a low profile GeForce 1050TI., and a dual band add-in WIFI card running at 5G. It's hooked up to a 44" 1080p smart TV for a monitor. I can play most gaming titles without too much trouble at relatively descent FPS (40's to 80's). All the components were used or 'open box' items and I've got about $350 USD in the whole system (minus the TV) Oh... and I forgot to mention, all this is being run on the original proprietary 280 watt PSU! Very fast, very stable system with no hick-ups or problems yet for about a year now.
What case is that? I have a prodesk g2 sff and I wanted to do this? Can you send me a link or atleast the name of that specific case? :)
I usualy use molex to fan header adapter for prebuilds like this to power the fans at 5V. THat usualy makes them silent and you can stuff some cheap things in the build, yet still have enough cooling effect. I have an Core2Quad 9300 I think run with a tiny cooler and a 90mm fan. It runs with 5V, keeping the CPU under 68° while under load. Crazy to think how much room for cooling it still has, if being a bit louder. If only I could regulate with temperature.
I took a Lenovo E73 tower and found a midi tower with more room and cool fans, change the powersupply with a a adaptor 10 pins to 24 found on amazon 6$, and midi tower 35$ and I had a 1060 Ti graphiccard, a ssd and 8 gb of ram, look liked a dream insted of an office pc, I sold it 2 hours after putting it fore sale, the pc run good and the client is happy, I made som money on what i had laying around.
I want to know how to connect the rgb fans ?????? Plz tell me
I have a similar power meter and some times it lock up and the reading on the display don't change. If you disconnect it from the power it will reset and will work correctly again. The battery also must be removed temporarily.
Might be cool to get a 3D printer so you can print mounts for CPU coolers when you have a proprietary one.
I just fit an Antec 500w power supply to run my HP 8300. If you know what you're doing and know how to solder it's easy just a real pain in the pants. Also handy is a crimper and some crimps for the motherboard and CPU plugs. Also you will need a voltage booster for the 5vsb to raise it to 12vsb. I mounted it on a piece of an old psu case I cut to rivet under the Antec. All the cable ends are custom fit so there's not any excess wire. I used the psu wires for all the peripherals so as not to overbear the HP feeds from the motherboad, and routed some excess wires for the usb3 power feed with a soldered together molex connector for that card. The sata connectors are reusable with a punch down tool, so it looks so good Its a shame to put the cover on it, but now I'm ready with two 22 amp rails divvied up to the motherboard and the video card 6 pin socket , All I need now is a good cheap video card and then I will start to learn gaming to pass the covid time. Just patting myself on the back here................................Mike
Got one of these Hp prodesk 600 G1'S and put an i7 4790k, gtx 1650, 1tb ssd, and 32gn ssd. Works like a charm, only spend arround $600 on it!
Something I noticed, many of the times, the proprietary backplate is glued on and with some force can be removed
I know this may be a dumb question, but what is the name of the pc case that’s used at the end of the video? I’m actually building my first gaming pc, and I really like that case that’s used at the end of the video, but I just have no idea what the name is and I would love to buy one.
I built one of these with a Cullinan MX case and a 1650 to make a fortenite box for a buddy best part about the Zotac 1650 is that it doesn't require additional power it just runs off of the PSIe slot which makes things a bit easier.
Thinking about using another one of these I found for free (it's all messed up and doesn't work) to use the heatsink to fabricate brackets to maybe try and mount a Hyper 212 to it but if not it's fine it would just be nice to have the RGB heatsink that also works as well as that one does.
Cheers.
They sell adapters for regular power supplies. And there are many places to find the pin outs for the fans etc....
I've got about 15 HP Prodesk 400 G1's-G3's around my office collecting dust. Maybe I've got a new project to work on.
deam0 I’ll have lne
Is there a heatsink bracket i can buy so i can use any heatsink ? Since the holes for the heatsink isnt like the usual LGA 1150..
Please answer i kinda need em so i can use better heatsinks
Brian, got some knowledge to share. Most HP business computers do support newer nvidia graphics cards.
HP 4000/6000/8000 series are good for cheap gaming builds. If you have issues just update bios to latest version.
3000 series are not really businessmodels, they are closer to HP's consumerlineup. No bios updates.
Newer models work fine too. HP 400/600/800 series.
Speaking from experience, I've put together many 6000/8000 series HP computers with nvidia GPU's. GTX 750/750ti/950/960/1030/1050/1050ti/1060 3gb.
Just update the bios before. I'm currently typing this on a HP Elite 8000 SFF, Q9450,16GB, GT 1030 low profile.
HP's consumer computers with clarksdale/lynnfield/sandy/ivy bridge are a nightmare. MSI has AMD r9 200 series with bios switch for legacy. Sapphire nitro has it on both 200 and 300 series.
Those HPs actually work great with a 1050ti low profile as it runs off just the PCIE power. I had one in an HP 8300 for a while as I was building my main system (which weirdly used almost exactly the glass case you used here).
I've just finished 2 of these builds with a 1060 6gb and 450w psu's. Power cable adaptor from atx 24pin to 6pin + 4pin plug. Just brilliant price performance!!
Love these videos Bryan, would have been cool to see maybe a bit of aluminium off the old case as a cover to the power supply backing and cover the hole. Keep it up!
just a recommmendation. if its a standard usb 3.0 header they sell 90 degree adapters on ebay for 5 dollars. Details about 1Pc 20pin USB 3.0 Male to Female Extension Adapter Up Down Angled 90 Degree GVU
Hello!! Im currently building a hp pro desk 400g1 Mine came with a i5 4960 3.5ghz
(I bought it refurbished so i dont know if it comes with that or not, glad it did tho)
Upgrades:
-SSD upgrade for OS and essential apps and games
-Radeon power color 480 (4gb)
-Still haven't upgraded the ram (im going for 16gb 1600
-Running on 2 power supplys cause i cant find the adapter in my country (wish I knew this before hahaha)
In using a crappy case because it will be wall mounted.
I haven't found any info on the power consumption of my GPU after seeing this, im curious if just the stock power supply will do
