Thank you for this video. I picked up an Elitedesk 800 G1 and have been using it as a docker host for 2 years, but only being able to use 1-2 hard drives is too limiting, so I'm going to buy a larger ATX case, follow your video, and move into a larger case with more space.

Yea, it's kind of interesting because the older 8000 series has a different orientation mobo which does not align with standard ATX case. But, newer models though. I bet HP got a better deal on parts by deciding to go with ATX standard.

I actually did this with my HP Elite Desk 800 GI SFF I ran into a problem with the Intel Heatsink not fitting on my board so I had to use the old heatsink, to get it to stay onto the motherboard due to it not having the support from the case anymore, I had to go to Wal-Mart and buy machine screws 1/2 inch and attached the washers to the back of the board this remedied the issue perfectly! Although it did cause quite a bit of frustration. Also had a hard time figuring out where the front connectors go onto the board! If you do this definitely take your time! I had never worked with computer parts in this way and managed to get everything working with patience and double checking everything before going ahead. Overall I am extremely pleased to have upgraded my computer in this way, it ended up being way cheaper than I exected and definitely worth trying. Thanks for the help!

[@Cobuman]

Sure thing. Thank you for sharing your experience. 👍

[@deamondeathstone1]

That motherboard looks the same size as the one in the broken Prodesk 600 g2 micro tower I have. I could just make life easy and put one of these in there. The IO part on the back looks identical and the power suply has the exact same connectors. Also this one has a better chipset, right?

Hello, I plan to buy the HP 800 G1 Tower soon, and I want to move everything to a new case, I'm not sure if the motherboard is of standard dimensions, more precisely if the screw layout is the same as on a regular micro atx board (micro atx I think), so my the question is, can I transfer all my components (power supply and motherboard) to MS Cyclops V. I'm worried about the layout of the screws on that motherboard. Thanks

I managed to figure it out for the rest: If you look at the header from above: xx -> pin 1,2 xx -> pin 3,4 -> power switch x -> pin 5 xx -> pin 6,7 xx -> pin 8,9 In order for the HDD LED to work, it should go in pin 7 and 9 (align the small arrow on the header). The Power led - should go in pin 6 and the power led + in pin 8. Pin 5 is not used. I'm not sure if the reset button works on this motherboard, as it does not work in my case

Awesome video! I just started fixing up, upgrading and selling some OEM pc's lately, but I have been buying Lenovo's and they have power limits on the PCIe ports. So that limits the types of GPU's I've been able to put in them. I'm guessing the HP Elitedesk 800 doesn't have that kind of a power limit on the motherboard, so the only thing you need is a new PSU.

Thanks, In most situations people don't even change the PSU if adding a low profile card in to SFF case.

Well I needed that video yesterday. I just cutted the CPU cooler holder out and screwed it on the MBU. For the USB and audio error I plugged the yellow USB in and actually used the 3.0 USB and 2 hubs. No new power supply needed and did it the same way in the video with double sided tape additionally. Biggest problem is the length of the cables. I was able to disassemble the original switch on compartment and use the original LEDs and switch in the aftermarket case. G2 600 805D board with 32gb ram and 6gb GPU. 1tb ssd 256gb nvme on expci Works fine but the mbu and cpu is not really made to be upgraded this much.

[@yaaaboiflexi7114]

Power Button configuration for computers without split leads This is almost exactly the same as my HP prodesk 600 G2. the only difference I see is the CPU cooler and mine only has 2 slots for ram. the insides aren't the same but the mobo are the same. the main issue I had with my case transplant was the Power Button. HP, of course, had to make theirs proprietary and block pin 6 rather than pin 1 like normal PCs. My case doesn't have the Power supply leads split so I had to do some wacky wiring. Using your guide and this h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/pin-assignment-for-Power-On-off-Switch-led-Cable-710821-001/td-p/7458720 I basically put in the power button 90 degrees to what it should be. Normal cases have pins 8 and 6 being the power switch to I spanned those across what you have shown. HPs power switch is pins 7 and 8 so making putting pin 8 on the wire where pin 7 is on the motherboard and putting pin 6 on the wire to where pin 8 is on the mobo it works fine. Power light doesn't work but who cares lol. For the cooler I just used the stock cooler and some nuts and bolts to hold it in. Thanks Here is a diagram Mobo is • • • • • ☻☻ • • top left is pin one and to right is pin 2 ☻☻ is the power switch connectors on the mobo. normal Power connectors are ♦ ☻ • ☻ • ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ☻ is the power buttons Basically needs to align these. in the end, it should look something like this Mobo • • • • • ♦ ♦ ☻☻ ♦ ♦ ☺☺ ♦

Power connector is a 4pin... the new poer supply i bought has a 8pin. Have to buy an adaptor. 8pin female to 4 pin male adaptor (Your links product wasnt available.) Also had to get a molex to 3 pin adaptor for the fans in the case. Harddrives connect to the outside/side-back of the case. The heatsink/fan i ordered (your link) they sent me the wrong one or it wasnt right for my hp. So i used the original but ripped the aluminum screwholes off of the old case.(wasnt difficult) waiting for new power adaptor to show up to.orrow.

[@MatthewLenz]

@cobuman, did you just assume the G3 would work or did you test it? It's a different motherboard after G2 and doesn't use a 6-pin connector. It uses the flat connector (PWRCMD) and a 4-pin (PWR). Guess it's too late now since I'd already ordered a G3. No pre-made adapters. :|

[@Cobuman]

Depends which G3 you mean. If 800 G3 then you are correct. But if it's for example 705 G3 then it's the same. Sorry about confusion. Anyway, if you need extra power to run a large GPU you can also use a 2nd PSU just for that. Here is my video if interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpuVqKZmormgbKc around 5min mark I show how to connect it.

[@MatthewLenz]

@@Cobuman I think they still use that flat 7 pin (and actually has 7 wires instead of just 4) for PWRCMD. But they switched to using a 4-pin 12-volt (I think it's 12 volt) for the PWR. I've been trying to find the pinouts for the power supply on the elitedesk G3 but I can't really find anything.

[@Cobuman]

@@MatthewLenz Yea, I didn't find anything either. It seems like it was a limited model or something. Are wires colored like yellow and black? If so you can check using volt meter and possibly reuse the connector by connecting to power supply source. Like connecting it to extra SATA power cable. Of course, be careful if you decide to do so. :)

[@ermitchell2004]

@Matthew Lenz did you ever have any luck with the G3 ?

[@theintentionalnovice7718]

I did this following Cobuman's instructions here, and it worked perfectly. Used a new PSU and the suggested adapter and it runs great with my AMD Radeon Vega 56. I also added a new wifi/bluetooth card and NVMe PCI-e adapter with 1GB M.2 drive. The system does well for middle-of-the-road gaming and other desktop tasks. I would like to go back and replace the motherboard at this point, however, just to have more options for PCI-e space, etc. Cobuman, do you have a recommended motherboard to use in place of the OEM board? My EliteDesk had the i5-6500 processor.

[@Cobuman]

The socket for 6500 is LGA1151 so any motherboard with that socket should support it. However, for some reason the newer motherboards with same socket only support 8th and 9th gen intel... really bizarre imo. Anyway, there would not be much of performance boost if you get a different (older version of socket 1151) mobo because 6500 cannot be OC which is one of the main reasons you'd want to upgrade. I hope that helps.

[@theintentionalnovice7718]

@@Cobuman absolutely. The layout on the OEM board is just really cramped, and I have more space with the Corsair case, so I’d like to upgrade if I can find and affordable board. Finding one that uses the older Intel processors will be the trick.

hi, I followed all the steps you have described in the video and it worked, thanks for that! but at the very end I came up with a problem - how can I connect case fans to this MB? Looks like there is only a CPU fan slot and that's about it... any ideas?

[@Cobuman]

You can add another system fan through unused sata power with an adapter or hard wire.

I have an Elitedesk 800 G4 SFF i7-8700, 32GB RAM DDR4 but video card is really bad. I was looking for something like this video, because I want to do it with mine. Do you know if is possible? Best regards from Chile

Fantastic Video. Was enjoyable and helped at the same time.

[@robclarke3369]

Done this BUT you get a message on bootup about front usb 3 is not connected as it's slightly different to normal.usn 3 headers on own cases. Also the rear case fan, if not connected the. You get a message about that also. I used a prodesk 490 mini tower pc.

Hey cobuman I'm wondering how to plug in led,reset and the rest of the control panel onto the motherboard?

[@Cobuman]

I'm not sure on the pin outs for those. You can probably figure out with trial and error; however, you can also trace the wires on the original case to see where they lead. Afterwards just match connections. *If anyone else has the diagram for solution please let him know*

cobuman hello pls I have a 6200p sff would this work and can I add gtx 950 on the micro tower I want to upgrade to pls reply

[@EdgyShooter]

@@Cobuman Here's the pin layout that worked for me on the G3, all credit to David Oosterhuis for this: "I managed to figure it out for the rest: If you look at the header from above: xx -> pin 1,2 xx -> pin 3,4 -> power switch x -> pin 5 xx -> pin 6,7 xx -> pin 8,9 In order for the HDD LED to work, it should go in pin 7 and 9 (align the small arrow on the header). The Power led - should go in pin 6 and the power led + in pin 8. Pin 5 is not used. I'm not sure if the reset button works on this motherboard, as it does not work in my case"

[@yousnoerd]

I wanted to do this with an Elitedesk 800 G5 SFF, but that has the front usb ports and powerbutton directly on the motherboard, instead of with wires, so it was basically only made for that case, which is a shame, but I got it really cheap, will sell it with profit, learned a lesson and will buy some other motherboard and cpu :)

[@ThibaudVanHissenhoven]

Very nice, I'm doing the same with two Prodesk 600's, however the 3d print holes are 4mm too high in my ATX case. Is there a template available where I can move the holes down 4mm, I can't do it with FreeCAD.

[@willi234ify]

Hi Cobuman, I would like to ask you if you can show the structure of how the front panel pins are positioned. I am lost in that aspect

[@Cobuman]

From what I can tell based on testing: If you look at the header from above: xx -> pin 1,2 xx -> pin 3,4 -> power switch x -> pin 5 xx -> pin 6,7 xx -> pin 8,9

[@willi234ify]

@@Cobuman thanks cobuman but how do i locate the other connectors? I have these connectors: hdd led two pin reset sw two pins Power LED + one pin Power LED - one pin

[@Cobuman]

@@willi234ify You can trace back the front panel wires on the original and see where it goes. For LED it will lead to LED under the power button.

Great video! The case you're mentioning now is now an expensive $110 with shipping on amazon. Do you think the newer CORSAIR CARBIDE 275R Mid-Tower could work too?

[@Cobuman]

oh wow! That is way too expensive. Pretty much any Mid-Tower should work though.

[@muen1842]

cobuman awesome. Thank you for your help. Last question: Do you think an I7-4790 is a significant bottleneck for the rtx 2070 non-super?

[@Cobuman]

@@muen1842 Depending on resolution and fps expectations. For example, if you expect 140fps on 1080p but you get 100fps the bottle neck would be the CPU. However, on higher resolutions like 4K it becomes more GPU reliant at which point 2070 would do 90% of the work anyway.

[@muen1842]

cobuman right! It’ll be gpu-bound from there. Perhaps the better question then is: could this motherboard or its slower (1600 mhz ram) bottleneck modern gpus significantly?

[@muen1842]

Trying to decide whether I should just take the i7 out and make another pc with a more capable motherboard. :3

[@shrishpotdar343]

Can you tell the case name?? I have the same system and I wanna get the custom i/o panel on it too

[@Cobuman]

Link in description.

[@justbored3.14]

did the same thing but the system only has 1 fan output that's why your fan is not spinning in the video. if you want more fans have to use fan expander of cpu fan header or use ps to fan connections

[@AColWRLD]

I can do this with an hp elite 6300? Because I’m planning on doing that later down the line

[@Name.0909.]

My PC's exhaust fan is not spinning even after connecting to motherboard?

[@radovanrakovicky2655]

I have 8300 SFF, i5 3570, 8 ram , ssd, 240w psu. I added all these components on wooden plate - to add there GTX 1650 (not low profile) which is powered through pciex16. It takes 75w (like GTX 1050 LP) so I hope that PSU 230w is enough for this setup. I'm currently working on thermal things, already isolated PSU from other components. This wooden board will be mounted under main desk board, so compleyely invisible, cold air intake from front side and hot exhaust from back side. So I hope that 240W PSU will hold i5 + GTX 1650 with 75W consumption

[@Cobuman]

It should be fine. I have a couple of other videos in which I recommended using low profile version of GPU and nobody reported any issues with stock PSU.

I have also 500GB Seagate Baracuda 7200rpm but I'm not sure if this 240W HP PSU can hadle it too...so I have to make some experiments later & will inform ;-) I think that noone did some test on PSU consumption limit for HPs and Dells small form factors with specific HP 240W PSUs during max CPU+GPU load.

[@Cobuman]

@@radovanrakovicky2655 I'd be interested to know what the total power consumption is on full load. I use *hwinfo64* when overclocking CPU which shows the wattage as well. Although, the power is measured at software level which may not be 100% accurate. The other option is using one of those tools that measure power at wall socket. Now that I think about it I need to buy one of those tools.

[@henrytom5824]

@cobuman Hello will this work with a elitedesk g1 sff and Tower boards? Also is the cpu cooler able to mount regular LGA 1150 cpu coolers? I would assume the g1 is the same as the g2 thanks.

[@drpen3905]

Isn't the mounting brackets for the cpu fan non standard? I can't fit that Intel cooler on here. Am I missing something?

[@Ferbalicious]

hi mate, have you used to psu adapter? Is there any problems running the upgrade psu with the adapter?

[@Cobuman]

Some people reported wiring issues with those but as far as I know it should be fine. There are multiple brands so I'm not 100% which one might cause issues.

[@jouldalk]

Hey :) What about the front USB2.0 connector? It's also proprietary. Any adapter that one could purchase anywhere? Tx

[@Cobuman]

This is 800 G2. I'm not sure about front USB... It may work with some ATX cases, compare the connectors. To be honest I forgot to connect those in the video.

[@jouldalk]

@@Cobuman I also have the 800 g2. The usb2.0 header on the MB is 8 pins then 2 empty pins then another 2 pins. Regular usb2.0 headers are 9 pins. But there are only 8 wires on the connector. So maybe a regular usb2.0 connector would work using the 8 pins from the header (leaving the 2 pins unused) but I can not test atm... Maybe the 2 extra pins are for some kind of activity led or something. Is there such a thing for usb2.0 on the 800 g2?

[@laurikoski1049]

I just swapped mine, only thing is front usb connector is different (except usb3 connector) also i bought the psu adapter and the wires were all wrong, had to use original psu and mutilated one of the sata power cables and made it a molex connector to use new cases 4 fan rgb setup 👍

Possibly. They look very similar and orientation of mobo appears to be the same. Open it and take a look to compare if mobo looks to be the same size, shape and back I/O orientation.

[@randonneecosmique2993]

The rear is not the same though. I have another motherboard that no longer works and there are small differences, but that's okay. The most important thing is that it starts correctly when I press the button. I have read on forums, and some say it is not possible to start with anything other than the original button, but your video and there to prove otherwise.

I'm assuming you've added the r7 260x after you transferred everything? If so, it could be an issue with the card. Driver update might fix it. There is a chance that it may need more power from PSU to run properly.

If you are using the original PSU then it plugs in no problem. If you buy a different PSU you need an adapter like this: amzn.to/3CBbHoQ Original PSU will need some work to get mounted, but if you buy a different one then it's no problem (inside the new case).
