I tried to turn my HP Z420 workstation into a gaming PC in 2023...

Probably this is only fitting for light games like Minecraft or Roblox, or older games like GTA V and Rise of the Tomb Raider?

Me too, I have a z420 and I install rtx3060, a lot of adapters and new power bank

[@wasifshabbir2432]

Hey do you have any idea of tpm 2.0 update in z420?

[@lordpelvis63954]

I have an hp z420 with amd rx 580 xt. Runs great. Gave my grandson one, works great. You need to do more testing to see what the problem is. BTW, its a workstation, not a server.

Thanks for commenting! I have updated the video title to say 'workstation' instead. I was using the term loosely as it was a plan of mine to use it as a network storage server haha. Ya something wasn't right, I think. I could try to re-install Windows fresh. Maybe something was hogging up all the CPU cycles.

[@martinward6422]

[@olzzon]

​@@martinward6422yes my radeon hd 7770 2gb ddr5 works in my old system htpc but in this workstation i only get the beeps and shutdowns I dont get it , the 600watt should support i ? It uses a 6 pin connector so tried both of them from the power supply but same beeping error ...😓

Plug in gpu, make sure all cables are connected, check psu is correctly plugged in as this is an error, telling you that there's a psu fault/issue somewhere. Run pc and see if this works!

[@JoeShmo-ho5fn]

BTW, Just bought one myself & had same issue, "forgot to plug in 6 pin psu cable on motherboard!" "duh!!. 🙄 Hope this works 4U.

[@Kaido_23A]

can i run rtx in this workstation?

[@ComputerizedCanada]

I don't see why not.

[@TheNuttGuy]

@@ComputerizedCanadaas long as it only needs 6 pin and fits into the wattage of your power supply yeah. Something like a 3080 needs 8pin, wont work.

[@unknownyoutuber730]

On google ,it is clear that we can use E5 1600 and 2600 v1,v2 and v3 processors for z420 . I am using 2602. Kindly tell me , Which one is most performing processor z420 can handle ,

[@MoneyBrozYT]

The E5-2697 seems to be a good processor for it.
