Not on any aftermarket motherboard where you flash the bios in the bios itself off a usb stick. Flashing in Windows itself is sketchy.

I know he kind of touched on it by making a joke about UPS & Fedex but always have your machine on a battery backup solution when doing bios upgrades, that way if there is a power blip your machine should last about 10 -20 min on battery.

I also find resetting the bios to factory settings to be helpful. You never know what settings the company IT guy has on it.

Wow, I was like, "Why is the video so old? I can see the date, and DLM referenced it?" Oh, ok, this was from then... Got it. I am happy to hear it turned out well, though 20% increase almost seems 'tame' - though, honestly, the m4000 isn't a slouch - just old. The m6000 is basically a 980ti... sorta... It's one of my top list old GPUs as I had insane luck with the 980ti - I don't play FPS games, the folks who ask me for computers don't either, LOL. I love low end builds that perform, and this seemed like a good candidate for that. And, also, I don't think I've said it, glad you are doing better now brother.

Hp really loves their BIOS updates I don't actually know what they do between versions but I assume it'd have to be important for them to be updating their BIOS for over a decade after their release every few months

I wanted an HPZ 440 2 years ago but couldn't find one. I settled for an older Z620 that you can do curls with it's so heavy. I used it as a daily but lately I use it to test out used GPUs. It has an 800W PSU so I can test the most demanding cards with it. My smaller Z230 fits my needs well so I use it more. HP workstations make decent budget gaming machines in a pinch.

Build one of these up for my wife. Nvidia 1080, 128 gigs of ram, 1 TB NVME and 6 cores. All for $400-450. She loves how quiet it is. She had a high end Nuc but this thing is faster.

@@metaldragonbraveheart It idles at 65 watts or so, meaning it cost $113...per year to run it 24x7. Assuming $ 0.20 kw/hr electricity cost. People over-estimate what power costs. It spends 1/2 the day asleep so it's much less than that on average.

If you turn it off during the bios update if you dosen't have second bios chip to autorecover you will need to disolder the bios chip from the motherboart and flash it manualy with program and then put it back on the motherboard. GG

You recommend a Logitech keyboard for your test bench. Windows 10 hasn't been able to find drivers for my Logitech mouse & keyboard for months. If you're running Win 10, be prepared not to have Logitech keyboard & mouse drivers available.
