For those interested in going dual-channel, I got the Crucial CT2K8G4DFRA32A 16gb kit today and put it in my TG01-0429. It properly registered at 3200mhz. However, the "upgrade" to dual-channel resulted in only 3fps increase across the board in only one of my games. Two other games saw no appreciable difference. So, it would appear that my config in the TG01-0429 (Ryzen 5 3600 & GTX 1660 Super) doesn't really care about dual-channel anyway as far as gaming is concerned.

[@nater3091]

I've had the newer version TG02 (same case design and brackets, different front cover) for a couple of weeks and the only complaint is the thermals (reaching 90+ degrees while gaming for CPU and GPU). I ended up installing an upgraded CPU cooler, added three 92mm 1600rpm redux fans (1 exhaust, 2 intake). The two intake fans were installed using the black bracket on the side (had to recreate the black bracket on CAD software and then used the negative space to fill the peaks and valleys on both sides of the bracket to create an isolator gasket for the fan to only suck air from the vent holes/mitigate vibration and had to dremel a small portion of the SSD caddy to fit the fans. Now it runs like a dream but will need to rearrange the fans if I want to upgrade the GPU in the future.

So I take everything back apart in reverse, come to find out the CPU got stuck to the big shiruken so it lifted the CPU off of its set module. All I did was unlock and re-lock the CPU and boom turned on like a champ. It was the thermal paste that was so stuck to the cpu that when lifting it up it moved the whole cpu and module which abstructed the signals.

Can you explain where you could plug in the noctua fan you mounted on the side?

[@HardwareSense]

Sata to fan adapter

[@HardwareSense]

A fan, sata to fan adapter, rubber isolators, fan controller if you want less noise

Hello, appreciate all the knowledge you gave. I have the TG01-1022, would you still recommend the shuriken and the other fan? Also curious is I should upgrade my 5TG external hard drive to an SDD (I only install games on the HDD)

[@HardwareSense]

The Big Shuriken 3 is one of the best for this computer, I love it. As for game installation, I would never use HDD, it is just too slow, even the cheapest SSD would be so much faster. HDD is only for data storage at this point.

Went to WalMart to buy water and I lucked up on one after just looking at it on the website for $900. I never felt so good spending that $599.

[@bmooo04]

How is it running so far? I’m planning on buying one as well.

[@Caveyy]

Bro I couldn’t find one but there was a sale on their website it was a slightly different version the only thing that was different was the cpu and the ram. It had a Ryzen 5 4600g and a 2x4 8gb 3200mhz Ram and it was only going for 600$ the original price was 700$ but it was 100$ off so I ordered that and next day my Walmart had the 3500 one but a lot of people told me the one I bought it a bit better since my cpu is a bit faster

[@shoncarter3730]

@@bmooo04 Sorry for the late reply. The HP runs really well but I've since built my own custom computer. The 1650 Super in the HP does a very good job running WarZone but it gets so HOT!!! I play on my new build and the 3070 Ultra FTW3 barely breaks a sweat at 1080p giving average 120 fps. The HP is a good budget PC but you will itch for an upgrade.

[@DarrinBentley]

GREAT VIDEO! You mention you had some issues with the ram and I see 3 different ram versions in the descriptions. What was the version you "finally" added to your machine? And what was your process for adding it? (i.e. did you have to mess w the Bios or was it an easy install).

[@HardwareSense]

Hey there, the one listed in the video are memory modules that should work out of the box, the none JEDEC rated memory would require Ryzen Master settings in order to achieve its speed, the 3200mhz JEDEC one works right away, and there are no memory settings in the Bios

[@DarrinBentley]

@@HardwareSense Great. Grabbed JDEC (w your link) and will have today. I’ll keep ya posted😊

[@DarrinBentley]

Thank you!

[@DarrinBentley]

Bummer. Grabbed the Crucial Ballistix Black 3200mhz but only running at 2667. Any idea how best to get running at 3200? Ryzen Master? If so, any good tutorials on settings for this ram within master?

Just got this pc (or something very similar to it, still part of the tg01 line), and was thinking about switching out the case on top of some of these upgrades. Do you think it would be worth it? Also what size is the motherboard? Thank you for this video!

[@harshanas1729]

@ i got it straight off the hp website, not sure if they're still in stock tho

[@razawavs]

@@harshanas1729 the motherboard is a baker, proprietary from hp, meaning it has specific measurements only for the pavillion case, I've found a case switch video but it wasn't worth it since you lose the ability to use all of your ports on the motherboard.

The stock on the CPU or GPU? If its the CPU, try to upgrade it.

@@HardwareSense actually haven't received it yet, so only judging from product images, but it looks like there's only one 80mm outflow and 80mm CPU cooler. Not sure what the GPU setup is, but ofc i will just let that be. But yeah I don't have experience with building PCs, so that's why I was asking. Only one 80mm outflow looks pretty bad. And thanks, I will try to upgrade when i get a chance. I also think I'll keep the side panel open until I get to upgrade it.

How did you modified the ram speed?

[@HardwareSense]

Ryzen Master

[@markthibault8579]

@@HardwareSense I tried a Corsair Vengeance 16gb 3200mhz kit (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) on my TG01--0429 and it would only run at 2133mhz. I had heard about Ryzen Master but found it complicated and was afraid of bricking something. So, I returned the memory and orderd some basic spec Crucial ram (CT2K8G4DFRA32A) that is at 3200mhz default frequency and will try that when it arrives. My theory is that the HP motherboard (Erica, rev F.30) is not compatible with XMP. So, any of the "gamer" ram won't go to the higher speeds. All that said, a tutorial on how to use Ryzen Master to overcome these challenges would make a great video for relative noobs like me.
