HP ProDesk 400 G5 TWR - Teardown and gaming upgrade

[@abdelrahmanmohamed9602]

one of the best reviews i have ever seen

[@tornado7002]

I'm actually waiting for this PC to be delivered any day now. I was impressed with the i7-8700 processor it has installed. This was a fantastic video. Thank you and God bless you.

[@naehh73]

Awesome execution from start to end! Three thumbs up 👍👍👍

[@animerror]

nice video! been watching u for over a year. my school is actually filled with these PCs, they're quite solid!

[@jensdbe]

Yeah, they got something nice to them

[@brayanhamaro5514]

Is it possible for the RX 6600 to fit in this computer?

[@nikolaitoliabov5844]

Very detailed review, you helped me a lot

[@7Im8O66]

Recently added to the Windows 11 compatible cpu's I added a RTX 3050 6 GB in it 🙂 Nice review and thanx Would like to see the temps from the system, (Graphics and Cpu) but will do it myself

[@joeking5211]

Sir, Great vid. But WARNING to all that may get caught like myself. After seeing this vid managed to find a HP Z1 EliteDesk G5 800, very very nice design really pleased. It came with a nVidia P620 and all the initial playing and setup was done on that at Full HD ( 1920 x 1080 ) absolutely fine. Then the nightmare begins. I managed to get a MSI GTX1650 Ventus XS and followed you installation info and updated drivers. Well Ok, works fine, that is if you don't mind your Win 10 desktop set at 1680 x 1050, and in win10 display settings it does say next to the setting ( recommended ), but above it was a 1920 x 1080 so lets select that one. No go, a desktop mess, and no matter what I try it's fixed at 1680 x 1050 for all normal everyday working as the PC is also general usage PC, but had hoped to get a reasonable game experience from it as well as the serious stuff. I am bitterly disappointed by these GTX1650's with this being the result and wonder what you may recommend as an alternative that can do some decent gaming but at least be useful at full hd for all the normal day to day use cases. Just a heads up for anyone watching this and not realising this, but off course if it is only a games machine you need well then no problem, Thks for your well done vids & Kind Rgds, PS the HP machines as you say are wonderful boxes, very well thought out.

[@TuanNguyen-oz1id]

I'm having the exact same hp model as yours except mine have i3-8100, currently I'm using gtx 1050 as it's only draw 75w as the gtx 1650 but it's only use up to 57w at maximum and turn to black screen when im using just a little bit more power than that despite being plugged the sata to 6 pin power adapter. Have you experience this issue and how can i fix it.

[@RaphaelAlgarin]

hello, thanks for the content, you helped me get out of doubts since I was not sure if the GTX 1650 could be ideal for these PCs (I have a HP prodesk 600 G4 MT - i5 8500, 240w power supply) but another doubt was born; the normal version (GDDR5) of this gpu has a maximum consumption of 75w ... do you think that for the GDDR6 version that in some models consumes up to 85w (like the MSI Gaming X OC D6) it can also be powered with the same sata adapter - 6 pin or a dual sata?

[@instantalper5494]

würde eine rtx 3050 auch gut klappen? also die 75w modelle

Thanks and very nice to hear. Glad to see you enjoy these videos :)

[@spccanadanovascotiahalifax93]

I got the 600 G5 with the i5 9500 and I think it’s the best PC I’ve purchased so far

[@thejetfighter]

Can the Power Supply be upgraded to a higher voltage one?

you can force 500w psu elitedesk 800 g3/g4 to work inside that prodesk.

[@QusaiGamer-y2r]

Hello just wanted to ask how did you connect the 6 pin cable to the graphic card . Can you be more clear please 🙏

[@Samsul1.]

1. Find not used sata power 2. Connect that power sata to converter 3. Connect 6 pin from converter to gpu

[@Samsul1.]

Easy right?

[@QusaiGamer-y2r]

@@Samsul1. Ok thank you my friend 👍

[@plsbanhackers9031]

I have recently found a 9500t for free. Will this model run a 9th gen processor since on the documentation it’s a b360 chipset? All the manuals I’ve seen doesn’t include 9th gen processors

[@pierreinthavong181]

Great video as always!👌

[@jensdbe]

Appreciate that!

[@derrynbalmermusic]

thank you for this very helpful video! also would the RX 6500 XT (MSI mech model) work with this? I have one and have been looking into putting it into a system like this

[@lisafan6365]

I thought the i7-8700 was officially supported for windows 11?

[@manzijoe399]

Have got the same PC with MT 310W PSU, am using RTX 2060 now the fans makes noise when gaming

[@bobyperes1600]

I have got the same PC with a 250w Gold PSU do you think it's going to be ok if I install a GTX 1660 super?

[@Artemis-gu9dd]

​@@bobyperes1600might be dangerous

[@bobyperes1600]

I have the same pc with a GTX 1650 low profile and i want to update the graphics card to a gtx 1660 súper, do You know if it's a good idea because power supply is 250w maximum

[@jensdbe]

A GTX1660 super needs around 125W of power. I think there is a good chance this might work but it is on the limits on the machine. Depends a bit on the other components present.

[@hennessyistaken]

So I got the HP prodesk 400 G5 MT. I am planning to install the gtx 1650 or the gtx 1660. They are the same hardware I think. Can I use the same steps in this video?.

PLEASE 🙏 a psu upgrade video i have the same pc but i3 8100 psu 180w and i want to upgrade it and i want you some guiding

[@ax6070]

Nice video. If I may what auction websites do you find these PCs? Thank you

[@jensdbe]

Most of this is pretty local so I'm not sure it makes sense if you live outside Belgium/Flanders. Troostwijk is one of the sites which is more international.

[@laurencejohnson4106]

I like the design of that pc..

[@jensdbe]

Agree with you. Still looks nice and modern today.

[@ubersoldat1236]

I have the same pc except it has i5 8500 and 4 gb ram ddr3 with no GPU but I added 12 GB extra ram and RX 580 8 gb

[@lionexoOP]

Hi bro just wanted to ask : what should i add to this pc cuz i want to play some medium - high games I'm considering to add two ddr4 8 giga ram {because mine is only two ddr4 4 rams } and the nvidia gtx 1650 oc . do you advise me to add another thing to it????? I'm really wating for your answer❤

[@jensdbe]

Sounds like the right choices to my idea. More memory would be overkill and getting faster graphics would require a much heavier PSU. Enjoy!

[@lionexoOP]

@@jensdbe thanks bro

[@aderman_oficial]

Sabes si puedo cambiar mi gabinete por este modelo? Mi gabinete es SFF quisiera pasarla al gabinete TWR o otro modelo mas grande

[@EisenBahn-og1tj]

I have a question: Is there an adapter to use a standard ATX power supply? I would like to install a GTX 1070 as well, but my power supply doesn't have enough power for that. Thank you very much!

[@jensdbe]

These do exist on the market but are not official. Never tested one. Just look for a 24-pin to 6-pin ATX power adapter

[@dontsleep5796]

GPU is low profile or normal size will fit? Thanks. Great Video!

[@jensdbe]

Normal size, as long as it is not too long, should fit. As you could see, the GTX1650 was pretty much reaching the end of the available space.

[@masadi7876]

I have pc as same as yours, but psu is still original (180 watt), if i am going give additional vga like nvidia gt 1030, have i change old psu to 310 watt ? If i must change old psu may you give me the spesification of new psu i should buy.. Sorry may broken english 🙏 please answer my question thanks

Is the motherboard upgradeable? What is its form factor?

[@jensdbe]

The board has a proprietary form factor so upgrading it with a standard board will be nearly impossible

[@Samsul1.]

Will be quadro p2000 work great at that prodesk 400 g5?

What Power supply?😊

[@superfangj6036]

how much wattage is the psu

your 1030 Timespy score seems really really low. Something might be wrong there.

[@joehakarashi]

What is max gpu model can support psu 310w for this sff psu...rtx 1650?

[@jensdbe]

GTX 1650 or RX6400 should do fine

[@dusanmilovic7421]

Good

[@ClubAutruche46]

hi I would like to know where you found your power supply and your ram

[@jensdbe]

The power supply was in the case as it came from HP. The memory is from another machine, HP is not very picky in that area as far as I know.

[@ClubAutruche46]

De 180w ?​@@jensdbe

[@southmountain111]

Is the motherboard power universal or HP specific

[@jensdbe]

It is HP-specifc as it does power the drives through the motherboard and has different connectors. I do know that adapter cables exist to convert from regular ATX.

[@southmountain111]

[@joehakarashi]

Can we change another PSU let say cooler master 600w

[@jensdbe]

A standard power supply unfortunately won't physically fit and can't be connect to the motherboard as it uses a different, proprietary, connector.

[@Kurintsufps]

hello can I ask if my rx 580 8gb can handle hp prodesk g6 sff psu 180+ gold?

[@NkosanaMakhubele]

RX580 8gb needs at least 500 watts psu

[@Samsul1.]

Your RX 580 cannot even fit on sff prodesk, and psu 180 not giving enough power to your RX 580.

[@Ian4real]

Can it support an RTX 2060

[@jensdbe]

A RTX 2060 requires a 550W power supply which is quite a bit higher than what this device has. Unfortunately upgrading the power supply isn't very easy as it has a custom form factor and connectors.

[@Supermanzs]

My most important question is can the rx 580 8gb fit

[@jensdbe]

Depends a bit on the exact model but most of them should just fit:

The process is the same. It will perform a bit less but should work fine.

I like this normal design of this pc,so basically i doesn't like the rgb pc cause it takes a lot of power.other than that,rgb looks like show off to me,also too waste of money.

[@jittiphatrueangsawat180]

Will 3070 fits it?

[@jensdbe]

I don't think it would fit as the case is not very deep. Also you would need a different power supply as that card alone consumes 220W...

[@manzijoe399]

Fan noise????

[@jensdbe]

Fan noise is very acceptable and it remains relatively quiet

[@shay8934]

Can you add a rx580

[@jensdbe]

An RX580 consumes up to 185W so that would require a heavier power supply. You'd also be missing the PCIe power connectors on the HP-power supply. So a GTX1650 would still be an easier choice with nearly the same performance.

[@shay8934]

@@jensdbemuch appriciated I already bought it lol but I also have enough for a new power supply any recommendations eg the amount of pins i would need total

[@TechnologieHeute]

Is this also Working with the MT version?

[@jensdbe]

MT stands for Micro Tower as far as I know, so I think the terms MT and TWR are used mixed.
