HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF - Teardown, re-assembly and upgrade

In this video, I'll cover the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF and I'll perform a full teardown + re-assembly of the machine. Once complete, I'll do some benchmarking and gaming to test the GeForce 1050Ti that came with it.
In the video, I will first completely disassemble the machine, then re-assemble it and install a few upgrades. Once the machine is back together, I'll run some benchmarks with Geekbench and we will check how it performs in Microsoft Flight Simulator and GTA V.
You can use this video if you want to replace your CPU, RAM, SSD, video card or anything else.
My EliteDesk 800 G3 has an Intel i7 7700, a Nvidia 1050 Ti, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256GB NVMe SSD.

The one I bought didn’t have a gpu so I bought a 1650 4GB. I run csgo at ~300 fps. Although the gpu struggles with heat, under full load it likes to sit at 85C which from what I understand is throttled. I’m currently trying to increase case airflow to fix that

[@clashtitan1487]

Did it fit?

[@omerback007]

Bet you've already answered this somewhere but here is where i am in a pickle. I have a G3 800 SFF currently running without a GPU. I checked the specs on the GTX1650 LP and on a stock system that doesn't go with the specs. First, the PCIe slot is limited to only 35W supply to the graphics card while the GTX 1650 pulls a whopping 75W at max draw. Second - Now somehow even if you end up installing and getting it to work and definitely not at full potential of the GPU, youre still gonna need to upgrade your power supply so it can handle the load of the GPU at even 75% of the full power. And i am talking about the SFF in the video. Same problem with the 1050ti. The only cards that go in safe limits are the GT1030 and the GT 730 unless you get another PSU which supports higher Wattage output (you might need to swap out the case too) and then run a full sized card instead which draws power directly from the PSU instead of relying on the power from the PCIe slot.

[@jensdbe]

Upgrading the power supply will not increase the power that the PCIe slot can deliver. Also for cards that do have an external power connector, they count on drawing up to 75W from the PCIe card as far as I know. I do see that it is documented to have a maximum of 35W supported for the PCIe slot but as this one was doing fine with the 1050Ti, I would expect a 1650 to work fine as well. Wouldn't be the first time that I try this with success. 180W in total should be fine for GPU, CPU and the rest of the components like mobo/RAM and SSD.

[@omerback007]

@@jensdbe I really want to try the 1050ti or the 1650 on it like you installed but its too much of a risk interms of me buying and it not working at a later point in time.. better be safe side and run a 1030..

Hello... What a great video! It's very instructive. But, i'm wondering, would it possible to replace the stock heatsink with either Cryorig C7 or Noctua L9i? Both have a backplate that must be installed on the back side of the motherboard..

[@jensdbe]

I think that the only option for such heatsink would be to remove or to bend down the lifted mounts on the bottom of the case. As you can see at kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGKohZRpoq9ra6s These would prevent you from mounting that backplate or the board would end up too high. Keep in mind as well that the case is limited in height so you might want to check if your heatsink+fan would fit in the limited space.

Hi, how many watts is that power supply?

[@jensdbe]

The power supply in mine is/was also 180W. This should be sufficient for the CPU and 1050Ti.

Well technical documentation said all the 2 pcie 16 have only 35w max. That's not true so, it deliver true 75 watt since you plug a 1050ti

As far as I know there are no low profile variants of RX 580 cards. That means they will not physically fit into this case. Also, an RX 580 can draw up to 185W, which is way too much for the power supply.

hey nice video, btw im gonna ask can the psu handle regular 1050? also can i use to bit more powerfull GPU such as 1070?

[@jensdbe]

The EliteDesk 800 G3 has only a 180W power supply. The most consuming graphical card it comes with from the factory is a GT730, which takes around 40W. A 1050 Ti takes around 75W so that should be within the safety margin. A 1070 on the other hand easily does the double (~150W) so that's really too much for that PSU. You would also miss the 6/8 pin connector that such GPU needs. Upgrading the PSU won't be an easy task as well I'm afraid.

[@jensdbe]

This is a tough one to answer. Depending on the game and resolution you are playing ok, if you are tight with the 16GB of memory, then increasing that will boost performance. On the other hand if you are not running out, a better CPU is a better choice. I'd say go for the i7 8700, monitor memory consumption and upgrade if needed. It's generally easier to upgrade the memory in comparison with the CPU as that has to be replaced.

In the standard case, you need a specific HP PSU as a standard form factor does not physically fit. In another case, it should work to use another PSU but you would need a convertor from the standard ATX to the HP-proprietary connector.

To each drive you will need power and data. Power comes from the black connector on the motherboard (with red/yellow/black wires), data needs to be connected to the blue SATA ports on the motherboard.

Hello, need to ask about PSU! Is it 250W? I have G3 600 with i5 7500, 16GB DDR4, SSD 256MB+1TB SSD Samsung an di want GTX 1050Ti put inside. Is generic PSU 250W enough? Thanks in advance

[@jensdbe]

In my version, the PSU was 180W only. A 1050 Ti would consume around 75W so should be doable with the rest of the components. Looks pretty much the same as I had in mine so I don't expect any problems for you with a 1050Ti.

Is it possible to add a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe card low-profile ?

[@jensdbe]

Sure, that shouldn't be an issue as far as I know

[@mialarssen2627]

@@jensdbe Thank you for your answer. Would you recommand any ? I`m struggling to find one :)

[@minervali9436]

Nice video! I m thinking to upgrade my i7-7700 but dont find any path. Any idea?

[@jensdbe]

i7 7700 should work fine as it originally also came with this CPU

[@minervali9436]

jensd_be any better CPU can be used on the motherboard?

[@jensdbe]

@@minervali9436 i7-7700 is the highest it came with from the factory/HP. Better might work but needs to be tested in order to find out.

I have this same system with a GTX 1050, and it is running very loudly and the computer turns off with a small shake from my table. Is there anything I can do to make my computer quieter and more stable?

[@jensdbe]

I'd check the fans, maybe replace them with a silent version. After time, some of these tend to become pretty loud, as was the case with me as well. Also removing dust and replacing the thermal past could help.

Can anyone please tell me k If there is any molex connector from PSU ?

Great video and good PC , i need some help, my question is, what Graphic i need for play Gta V and Left 4 dead 2 as maximum in this pc? Thanks for reeding

[@jensdbe]

As you are limited to low profile GPUs and limited in power provided, a GTX 1650 would be the best choice. This will result in proper performance for the games you mentioned as well.

Will an Gigabyte RTX4060 8G OC Low Profile fit?

[@jensdbe]

I'm afraid that the power supply will not be able to handle this as it requires 130W

hi i got a hp pro desk 600 g3 but i don't know if it's compatible with 8th gen cpu ? What do you thin ? thank you

[@christianviewmont5632]

The fastest CPU that is compatible as per your Q270 chipset with your HP ProDesk 600 G3 Small Form Factor is the 7th gen Intel i7-7700 -maybe the i7-7700K.
