Hello, HMDT. Hey my HP Elitedesk 800 G1 USDT arrived with an Intel i7 4790S cpu. I have never owned or messed with an "S" series CPU before. Ever. After cleaning off the old hardened up thermal paste and a good cleaning then, new thermal paste and an good cleaning of the fans and everything else inside, it runs great! Now I'm trying to figure out which graphics card I can install that's better than the 4600 graphics installed. Hope you are doing well. Really enjoy your videos.

do you know what card will work in the G1 that has WIFI plus Bluetooth, the one i have does not have bluetooth.

bro can you test 2230 vs 2280 power consumption with this watt meter at idle and copy?

I am using 800 G3 i5 6500 Want to upgrade which cpu should be used can use 8/9 generation?

Hallo sar I am using 800 G3 i5 6500 Want to upgrade which cpu should be used can use 8/9 generation?

The reason that second NVMe option interferes with the 2.5” caddy…. The battery holder is taller than a “standard” M.2 connector… so that second M.2 connector was picked as a taller model, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE 2280 drive to clear it.

The one watt, if configured, with be the Intel AMT. As the NIC has to be alive for it to work. If you have a full blown IPMI/iLO/iDRAC. That will pull around 5-10 watts when the machine is off. For busineses, the admin ease is worth the vampire draw.

The difference between 0.9 and 1.0 watts while off is huge if you are a government agency or something like GM and run 10k of these things 24/7

Love these vids.. make me go out and buy more Elitedesks

Great review. Can a 2nd ethernet port added to either for pfsense/opnsense?

Thanx for the video but there are far easier ways to upgrade from Win 10 to 11 on non supported machines.

Garbage product for brainlets

I did the same experiment with a g4 i7-8700t and had similar results. There was a 3-4 degree difference between the heatsinks, which was really disappointing. I've also enlarged the intake vents at the front cover and I didn't notice a difference. I like to add Tessa tape between the fan and the heatsink, between the heatsink and the case, and over the #2 screw void. I don't know if really makes a noticeable difference, but it creates a bit of duct like effect, lessening the amount of hot air that goes back into the system.

I modified hp 800 g3 to gaming pc with amd gpu add on and it's working really well i really like this pc for people poor like me stil can play mid end game with low budget

I know Windows 11 doesn't support 7th gen and lower processors. So how did you get yours running? Also Microsoft will stop supporting windows 10 October next year. So if you're a windows user, you might not want to buy this.

The only diff between the 8th and 9th are few 100 Mhz of clock speed.. no other difference at low to mid range. At high end they have added extra threads to combat AMD but you will not use these in the G3/G4.

what wifi card that compatible with mini pc HP Prodesk 600 G3 sir

Is it possible to put nvme into wifi slot if space isn't the problem?

Wow, seems to have made a nice improvement! Btw, just purchased a G1 from Ebay, HMDT. Can't wait to receive it and get to knowing the unit and how everything functions in it. Nice videos you are making. Really enjoy them. PS. Besides the HP Support Assistant, I usually download the Intel Driver Device Updater as well. I let it scan my system and many times it find old drivers and offer new updates to your system. Just a bit of info for you if you've never used the Intel tool. Take care.

The main cpu impact on general use esp in office and browsing is core speed. 2 cores with high ghz will be better then 4 slow cores..

Seems like a nice G3, HMDT. I have 2 of the M.2-2230s ordered right now. Great video.

G1 - tell me your an over thinker without tell me your an over thinker. :)

Just a guess about the inability for the UEFI to self update. The G1s were launched in 2014. HP split into HP and HPE in 2015. Its possible the embedded URL to call home has been turned off or changed during the changeover, since then. If you really want to change the URL to the same as the G3 etc. You can do that with the HP BIOS util. Run it on a G3, write down the update URL. The run the util on the G1 and copy the new URL into it. A faff to do for lots of machines. Which still may not call home correctly if "home" says go away you are too old.

When cleaning fans. Either hold it still with a finger or stick something in the fan to stop the blades turning. Fans dont like been blown about at high speeds. Especially in the wrong direction.

What if that applyed after ? Or hp may have planned to release Gen 2 with customer feedback considering these are intended to business and government's .

So am curious with all these g1,g2 and g3's do you have a plan for oct 2025 next year and what direction you will go with these? As only the G4 and newer will be supported by windows 11. You thinking of going linux? Maybe ltsc 2019? Really curious as there are tons of machines out there that will not make the cut to windows 11.

I believe that when HP designed the first mini computer, Dell and Lenovo were in development as well! So like all good production businesses HP anticipated upgrades and redesign features to the mini's hardware. So they decided to label their units with GENERATION 1, followed by GENERATION 2 and on. Generation 1 of the mini PC had some serious design flaws that were corrected in Generation 2. After Generation 2 unfortunately things didn't get any better, they should have left well enough alone. I have several G 3 mini's and, as you know, they removed the thumb screw from the case and rearranged the drive caddy with the SATA cable screwed to it, so in order to take out the drive caddy you have to remove screws from the SATA cable, that's a bummer. G 3 mini's also have a cheap plastic front bezel and if you ever tried to install WiFi in a G 3 it's not easy, the internal WiFi antenna does not fit in the case well. So, long story short...HP should have just rebranded the G2, G3, G4, G4 etc.

I have multiple T cpus in a box.

HMDT, I use an i7 10700T in my 35W 800 G6. It is an 8 core processor with 16 threads and it is awesome! Nice power for only a 35W unit. And, in my 800 G4 65W, I have an i7 8700 CPU and it is very powerful. Even in 2024. It's runs Windows 11 Pro just as easy as Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

Nice video! I put an i7 6700 CPU, 16gbs of DDRM SODIMM 2133mhz ram, and a 256gb Ediloca EN605 M.2 NVME drive in my 65W version of the 800 G2 and trust me, it is quite a little powerhouse! I'm not a gamer, period. However, anything else I want to do with the little PC does very well. And, it's pretty darned fast! Great videos HMDT.

Why not go ahead and put an i7 7700T in it? 4 core and 8 threads. Mine is the 65 watt version and I put an i7 7700 in it and it is quite powerful.

why when he opened the mini pc up i smelt dust😂😂

What is the idle, idleish power draw of these mini pcs? (T cpu, 1 RAM, 1 nvme ssd 1 SATA HDD)

I noticed you blew the dust out of the heatsink! There looks to be quite a bit of dust on the fan as well!

Thank you for this research! I am intereated in some of these mini PCs and sometimes it is hard to compare them.

i do like your videos and i picked up a Lenovo m720q for £110 on Facebook and have restored it using the Lenovo recovery image for testing went well even did the windows 11 update this one is going to be imaged with my works image for my works stuff but this pc works so well I'm going back to the same guy to buy another one for my main pc the hp computers I have will be donated to needy kids for school work i have 3 of them i will also say the Lenovo will take an NVidia t100 card

Sur mon 35W J'ai mis le processeur + radiateur en cuivre + le ventilateur du HDD + le couvercle avec des trous du 65W et je vois ne vois quasiment pas de difference de temperature c'est minime comparer au 35W d'origine que j'avais conserver les paramètres pour comparaison

You should always clean and reapply thermal paste between testing. Mating 2 sides with paste already applied can trap air bubbles, skewing your test results.

Replace the CMOS baterry - a weak or dead battery can cause a lot o weird booting problems. Also often a good idea to clear/reset the BIOS settings by leaving the battery out for a while to drain the CMOS. The G4 also has a reset jumper.

Does the bios allows to boot without cpu fan connected?

I wonder if the copper cooling would have improved more if thermal paste was cleaned up and reapplied.

I suggest you clean the fan! It's really easy. I can see the dust and dirt buildup from the video. I watch a lot of your videos, btw. And I did notice after reminding you the the arrows line the cpu up that you installed it the correct way. Take care. Like the videos, btw.

finally 😂

I'm running my G4 with proxmox and 3 drives. To increase network performance I added a USB-C network dongle and bridged it in proxmox. So it has two nics. Made a big difference with bandwidth performance. I have a graylog logging server and some other databases running on it so it gets a fair amount of traffic during the day. Here is the usb nic I used from Amazon: Plugable 2.5GB USB Ethernet Adapter for Laptop, 2-in-1 Cable, USB 2.5GB Ethernet Adapter, USB-C and USB Compaitble, USB-C to RJ45 2.5 Gigabit LAN Ethernet, Compatible with Mac and Windows

This was extremely helpful and worked.

I love these mini-HPs.

Bonjour, j'ai un processeur de 800 g2 i5-6500 3.4 mhz 65W peut-on le mettre sur un autre PC a la place du 800 G2 i5-6500T 2.7 Mhz 35W, j'ose pas le faire j'ai peur de faire une gaffe, merci
