      Power supply is definitely a concern, but you can snag an ok one for sub 70 bucks. These aren't meant to be a replacement necessarily to a custom pc, and oem parts will always be limited opposed to building. But for some they get the job done and that's all that matters. You hit a brick wall definitely modding these and making an upgrade path. But some don't need those features or expansion and just want a simple solution for their couple games they like to lpay

    Smart move to go with Intel, since Ryzen based ones are locked out of SAM. Another thing to look out for is although you can upgrade to higher speeds of RAM, they run at JEDEC timings CL22🤢. You can get really creative with adding storage:
    A 3.5 can be mounted behind the front fascia, a 2.5 underneath the black metal tray that was removed, or go with an NVMe via expansion cards. Of course fans can attach to those same points.

      TDP is not directly reflective of the actual power draw of the chip, I think the 6600 is based on a mobile chip so it runs on very low power draw hence AMD suggesting it can run safely on a 300W PSU compared to the 450W they suggest for the 6700.

    Great video for those out there who might be intimidated by upgrading a PC or of course building their own, though as a personal preference I like the double-line Thermal Pasting method for Alder Lake as well as the criss-cross mounting though for this cooler and a locked CPU it shouldn't matter a ton. I also felt more suspense than I should've when watching Jack and Matt barely squeezing the RX 6600 into the PCIe of that practically SFF chassis. I gotta say even though I despise the torx-flathead screws HP uses I gotta hand it to them for putting in efficient PSUs that have enough wattage to handle any sort of reasonable upgrades as opposed to Dell and the piddly wattage on their Inspiron lineup for example.

    • @darthwiizius
      @darthwiizius Рік тому +1

      Having an 8 pin PCIe cable in a budget friendly prebuilt also helps, no need to jerry rig power from the SATA connector so you can still add in a 2.5 SSD. By the time you sell off or reuse the old parts this cheeky upgrade makes for an affordable and pretty nice and tidy looking gaming PC for 1080P AAA gaming. It's more or less the same as my PC except I'm on Zen 3 and use a 2060Super. I anyone is worried about the PSU they can always put in a small undervolt to lower consumption a bit but AMD only suggest a 300W PSU for this card anyhoo so there's enough headroom in the fitted PSU to be confident it'll last for years.

      If it's the same speed and timings it should work regardless of branding and it would still be better than running it single channel, it's best to stick with identical pairs because outside of the XMP boost speed base speeds and timings can vary. The dual channel part is the most important part but AM4 systems are a bit sensitive to RAM speed so below 3200mhz you do get a bit of a drop off, though not normally as much as running single channel.

    If you're planning to go with HP Victus, get a model with RTX 3060 Ti already built-in. Then you only need to upgrade RAM and SSD in the future. However, be warned that the motherboard and PSU are both fully custom: the non-standard motherboard has all the front I/O directly on the board including the power button and PSU is HP custom design with is not ATX nor ATX12VO compatible. Instead, it seems to be always turned on and output 12 V to multiple molex 12 V connectors on the board.
    I guess it's possible to use ATX12VO power supply in theory if you do some custom wiring to keep the PSU always powered up. Unlike ATX power supplies that can be turned off by the operating system, this custom PSU seems to be always powered if you have grid power connected to it.

    Great upgrade tutorial, I was surprised the PSU didn't have to be upgraded but was pleasently proved wrong. The intel F chips and the 6600 are both energy efficient.
    I agree that the upgrade parts you used were as far as I would go, looking at the GPU temps in some of the gameplay it was getting a bit toasty (see what I did there!). The cooling is one poor aspect of the prebuilt that you can't really do anything about. For this reason any further upgrade would need both a PSU and case upgrade as well, in which case you are upgrading so much you might as well sell the computer and build a new one from scratch.
