I'm just getting blown away by these Minis. I worked in computer in my career and we always had rooms full of equipment. Years ago when they moved the footprint to desktops that was huge. Now it's really small. I got a mini for my wife and when I connect it the cables are heavier than the computer. I still use a desktop but I am considering one of these to replace it.

[@roylu1398]

I'm excited. The 15th gen CPU will soon come out and the power consumption will the same good as apple. The size will be smaller and no longer need metal case to distribute heat.

Pretty much as long as I'm not doing any gaming this will do what ever I need it to do?

[@slewbp]

For some reason I've heard this doesn't have Wi-fi receptors, can I play an online game on this without Wi-fi antennas?

[@jeffnew1213]

The EliteDesk 800 G3 is available with both 6th and 7th generation processors. I recently (December, 2022) bought a G3 with an i7-6700T (35w) processor in it. The top of the unit was not perforated like the unit in the video. Also, there was a "bump" on the rear containing the Wi-Fi antennas. There were no antenna connections or antennas on the rear. Lastly, mine came with a third Displayport port added in the expansion space on the rear.

[@David-nh7px]

Most of these machines that you find on eBay do not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Ones with large external antennas like in the video are extra rare. The ones with WiFi and Bluetooth usually have the bump in the back by the display ports. And another antenna is in the front under the speaker. If you want to add Wi-Fi to one that didn't come with antennas of any kind. Try to find a kit with large rear antennas because there's no mounting holes for the front antenna on units that never came with WiFi.

[@nassim99345]

​@@David-nh7pxin a unit without wireless connection: is installing an internal wifi card enough? Or an external antenna is required too?

[@RandomTeq]

Not Required, HP sells it as an add-on. It will help with signal strength, but wifi card should be sufficient, make sure you route the cables to the designated area in the back.

[@David-nh7px]

@@nassim99345 internal antenna kits are sold online. You will have to remove the motherboard and CPU heatsink to install it. Make sure to get one that is not Intel V pro compatible, as those have poor compatibility. You can use double sided tape to secure the front antenna, that's what I did.

[@MsNIKITA]

You don't normally get a perforated access panel with 35W TDP processors, those tend to come with the hotter 65W TDP which also has a copper fin heatsink. The GPU is actually on the processor, not on the motherboard or chipset.

Underneath your 2.5" SATA drive, there should be an empty slot for an M.2 NVMe drive. When you lift up your 2.5" SATA drive, is there a fan there to cool your storage drives?

[@haroldmclaughlin8015]

Every time I see one of these and people don't lift out the drive cage and put an nVME drive in, or at least point out it HAS ONE, it kinda drives me a little nuts. lol. The fact it can take an nVME drive is one of the best features of these little PCs, IMO.

[@michaeldullaway746]

Great video, thank you 😊 did you get this working with a faster speed of ram (3200)? And are you using 2 x 8gb sticks? Thanks

[@RandomTeq]

2x8GB, there's a limitation on the RAM speed as stated by the manufacturer. You can get upto 2666hz, even if you do get a fast stick, you don't gain any performance past a certain point.

[@jessegreen5464]

You can change the fan speed in the bios settings

[@Zinchux]

You cannot change it per se - you can set it to be faster than default at idle which is usually is not what someone is looking for.

[@bryanminugh9680]

the H-VEC movie decode Intel has in G530 GPU is great for moving images, yes. All Intel GPU is located inside the socket with the lift-rod latch ..and the CPU under the same fan block.

[@eduardoalmontemieses4842]

Nice video. I purchased a replacement motherboard to rescue my fried 65W. I transferred all components to the new motherboard and am happy to say I'm back online. But, as it turns out, the board came from a 35W. As far as I can tell, everything is operational, even with two drives are installed. Is there anything I should be aware of? Is flashing the 65W bios worth it?

[@RandomTeq]

You risk bricking the motherboard with BIOS update, I'd say, finding it safer to find a compatible 35W charger. Watch out for any weird smells or behavior. I suppose because there's not a big difference in power between 65W and 35W, the board is still operational, but you can't be sure how it behave long term.

[@MLK-KAEFENTERPRISES]

Hello, does this 65w PC support the i5 7600t CPU? I bought a barebones HP Elitedesk Mini 800 G3 65w and was wondering if I could use that processor with it (I know it supports the i5 7600). Thanks.

any "T" CPU is under-clocked, so it can't make more than 35Watts of waste-heat for the cooler. any mini model "65W" option VRM circuit can use any CPU. All are 65Watts or less.

You certainly can, these models don't come with SSD from manufacturer, but swapping an HDD with SSD is one of the easiest upgrades a one can do at home.

under mechanical HDD support frame, you insert a green strip "naked" SSD to the black socket. It is a PCI (parallel) path, so dramatically faster than a serial-connected (S-ATA) legacy SSD in the metal HHD cage. Communication protocol "nVMe" is very-much-more efficient than AHCI

I hate mine,and I don't see anyone talking about this issue, and I've had to use one at work for about a year now. The fan is very loud and runs pretty constantly and pretty hard. Because the grid for the fan is facing up it collects dust constantly and is hard to keep clean enough. Also there is almost no airflow on the bottom because the most surface area is nearly flush against a surface. So unless you can rig it up for better airflow, it's gonna be loud.

[@RandomTeq]

Yes, the 65W models have a more powerful and therefore louder fan than the 35W models and there is also two of them (extra for for the nvme drive) compared to only one on the 35W models.
