Nice video. I am using the same k620 video card from this workstation. I put it on lenovo m78 small form factor with amd a8 apu 6500b. I bought it for 30 euros second hand. It works great for me on old games up to 2018 and plays 4k 30fps youtube videos without any problems. With a limited power supply of 240w it is a good choice, also the fan and it is quiet even at 100 percent load. Even though it has 2gb gddr3 it is much better than the built in 8570d. On 18.5 inch monitor resolution 1366x768 I play old games on high settings smoothly and with 60+ fps. Thanks for your video👍
hey man i have a question i have xeon e3 1220 v6 gtx 1660s and hp z240. I wanna install 4x8 ram sticks but bios and pc recognize only 2 sticks at the same time. All ram slots and sticks works. In Aida64 and cpu-z i can see all 4 sticks. Maybe you know how to fix this. Ram sticks all same ddr4 2133hz ecc
Great tutorial and explanation on the 240. I have a 620 and a 230 with the HP Turbo Pcie card Gen2 in each with the Samsung 951 and 256 GB AHCI M.2 SSD. Those are the only ones that will boot an OS. They are a bit slower then NVME used on the HP 240, 440 machines. I'm thinking of getting a 240. Thanks for the info. Liked and subbed.

can I use this list for non SFF model?
Thanks so much for this video! Very informative. I'm eyeballing the Z240 to use as a home Linux workstation. They're dirt cheap now.

Hi, thanks.
Thank you for the great video. I have a question, can the case/heatsinc for the M.2 SSD be reused for a diferent M.2 SSD?
I have hp z240 tower workstation desktop "i7-6700" cpu. Can I upgrade it to the 8th Gen i7-8700?

Hi I had the same issue on my gaming pc the other day. Best way is to just use 2 sticks maximum.
Great tutorial and explanation on the 240. I have a 620 and a 230 with the HP Turbo Pcie card Gen2 in each with the Samsung 951 and 256 GB AHCI M.2 SSD. Those are the only ones that will boot an OS.

can this work with i5 6600k?
Hi brother, I bought a ddr4 3600 ram memory for this computer and it didn't work for me. Do you know if there is any way to configure it?

Sometimes the ram won't work if the stick size is to high for the board to handle without a bios update. Had this happen trying to swap 8 gig sticks for 16 on a friend's PC. We though he got bad ram but once we updated the bios it recognized the ram.
