Something you may not know is you need to use very specific RAM called 3200AA for these HP Victus PCs, otherwise it will run at 2133mhz rather than 3200mhz, which means you'll lose a good chunk of performance. You usually can find an 8GB stick online for like $15-20. Also make sure you don't get laptop RAM on accident; the desktop ram is longer and shorter than laptop RAM.

[@bradfordskeldorado]

Thanks for that info. It's running at 2400mhz currently. I never thought to check to see that the speed changed. I appreciate the feedback!

[@snakedude61]

I just want a double check that this is accurate. I was two seconds from buying a Ram kit. I admittedly have no idea what I'm talking about. I haven't tried to build or upgrade a PC in 20 years, probably.

[@bradfordskeldorado]

Here are two links to find a 16gb set or just a single 8gb stick to add to the original. These work without slowing down the ram speed! Hope this helps!

[@snakedude61]

@bradfordskeldorado I've been googleing like crazy for a while now. I can't find anything about 3200aa and victus. I did find a video saying the victus line uses 1.2v ram slots. So to use 1.2v ram. Also found that ddr4 above 1.2v is basically factory overclocked. So if hp limits the ram slots to 1.2v. Then that makes sense. Why the higher voltage ram can't hit it's basically overclocked spec. Just like adjusting the voltage to overclock a cpu. Just a thought. It makes a $50 difference for a 2x16 kit.

[@bradfordskeldorado]

So something with the AA ram causes it to be set to 3200mhz. The factory bios is default to that speed amd cannot be chNged so if you put the 1.35v stick that is ECC ram then it will reduce the speed. The ram in the link I commented above is non-ecc that is the same as the factory stick that HP puts in so it will run at 3200mhz and not reduce down to 2400mhz.

It definitely seems that way. I'm sure for the cost of this pc, they cut as much cost as they could but also allows for early wear, so you come back in a couple years to buy the next generation pc 😄

[@vedrisca]

Regarding CP 2077, I think downgrading the settings to Medium or Low would yield significantly better results. High graphics tends to have diminishing returns compared to medium settings, and the CPU is more than capable of pushing 50-60 fps without the GPU bottleneck.

[@bradfordskeldorado]

I agree you would have better numbers with reducing the settings but doing a benchmark on high shows that the pc can handle the game without stuttering and also its only up from where I tested it. If you want to lower settings, you at least know your system can run it. I personally get tired of seeing people lower settings just to get high fps as a measure vs a good quality graphics and game stability! I appreciate the feedback!

[@USAF_Medic]

I have the newest 15L Gen 13 I7 and Nvidia GPU. I am liking it for the most part. There is not much room for upgrading. The CPU is already maxed out because the case cooling is tapped out. The front od the case has 2 - 10gig USBA and 1 - 5gig USBA ports . The USBC is actually only 5gig and qualifies to be an oxymoron. USBC superspeed at 5 gigs, WTF?? There is only 1 NVME slot so I am going to replace the 1TB with a 4TB and split it to .5 TB and 3.5TB Partitions.HP has emptied the URL's for these newer PC's for somereason, you get 404 message. There are Zero KZbin videos about them, Only 12th Gen. When you look at the specs on thgis PC, just remember, that's essentially all you get. Upgardes are not available for it.

That's a lot of info and I appreciate it. I would have never expected hp to put that level of components in this little case.

You can find single 8gb sticks but I have found that a single stick from stores like Best Buy sell them for $40.

hi! liked and subscribed. very good video. great that you tested all of those games. pretty decent numbers, I guess. but, I don't have any of those games to compare to. the only game I play is Medal of Honor multiplayer and nobody uses that for testing nowadays even though it's been revived and remastered. so, I usually look for some benchmark tests. there are some free, really good, fun, interesting and super informative tests out there. I wish we could all just agree on one or two instead of 10 to use, for easier comparisons, but oh well. personally, I like the Cinebench R23. it's quick, easy and offers some other rigs to compare to. so far on that one, I laid down a highest of 16,625 for multicore and a 1,400 single core with the Game boost(basically 1click overclocking offered by most aftermarket mobos), activated. the results seem to vary with every one of these benchmark apps, tho. and I noticed a tiny drop in numbers when I record the test in the background. so, the tests that I've posted on my channel show lower results. I like the 3D Mark Time Spy a lot, too. that thing tells you a ton of stuff. my score on that averages about 9,900. CPU average is about 12,000. the GPU scores average about 61 FPS. Unigine Valley 1.0 is fun, too. average score about 9,000. min FPS about 54. max FPS about 345. Unigine Heaven 2.0 is fun, too. scores averages around 7,300. FPS about 286. min FPS about 68. max FPS about 862. my set up was about twice the cost of yours, of course. I spent $1,118 for parts, shipping and taxes. I have a video on each part cost and also video of the complete unit. I'm not sure up I'm a game nut or a computer nut, lol. my rig isn't high end, per se, but, it's upper middle with my Intel i9 10900k, MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge wifi mobo (supports up to 4800mhz RAM and a i9 11900k CPU), EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti SC GPU, Corsair Pro RBG 32GB 36000 Mhz RAM, Vetroo S210 ATX MTcase w/6 RBG fans, Vetroo Lurker V240 CPU water cooler, Rosewill 1200w PSU. it runs super cool. I just finished it. I'm about to start doing some testing on overclocking the GPU, but, I'm hesitant because the built in FPS counter in my Medal of Honor, blips up to 3,000 FPS! but! that makes my low internet symbol flash like a strobe light. I have to keep turning down my max FPS setting in console to about 400 to quiet down that light from having kittens 😸 I have terrible turtle wifi that's free with my stupid apartment. getting high speed internet is, so far, not available in the rough neighborhood, that I live in, hhhhhhhhh. I guess, to summarize. how about a benchmark test or two, also? I will look to see what other videos you have. don't forget!? Medal of Honor is still around, free to download(mymoh.tk) remastered, no CD needed. I have how to videos on how to download skin, blood and HD mod, too. I am Ober Gilstrap 88 and I approve this message.

@@bradfordskeldorado wow, thank you! you, sir, are too kind. awesome. the only game I play is Medal of Honor. and nobody ever uses that for any benchmark testing. so the only way I can compare anything is if they do the Cinebench R23, the Heaven 2.0, or the Valley 1.0. some guys use a Heaven 4.0 and that isn't free so, I'm not sure what they're thinking. I can only imagine a handful of people that would use the paid one, when several great free ones are available. I wonder what their target audience is. or do they do it so most of us can't tell what a piece of crap they just built? a video the other day had a guy showing off a rig that he built to show off how great he was with building a pc with a $1,000 budget. I thought ok, perfect. my build was $1,118 including taxes and shipping. well, my machine crushed his. I had about double his Cinebench R23 score and 2,000 more on another one. and his groupies were writing in, saying how awesome he was and one guy wrote in say how he had built 25+ computers and how impressed he was at this one thousand dollar build. I'm thinking what a bunch of knuckle heads. I trashed the "pro" making the video with my first try. I had only been studying pcs for 7 months, bought all the parts and bada Bing bada boom. killed the guy with 50 how to videos. anyways, on my Medal of Honor built in FPS counter, I've seen it briefly blip up to 3,000 Frames per second. I'm not kidding. but, my low internet light is having a stroke it's flashing so hard. like a strobe light. I have terrible free wifi here where I live. so to get my game playable, I have to keep turning down my FPS until that light stops flashing. earlier for some reason the wifi was happy and I opened up the throttle to a high of 800 FPS and it was awesome. I was kicking ass. I beat up 2 guys at once. but, later on the wifi got bitchy, so I had to turn it down to 400 to play. I'm going to do some testing, comparing the FPS on my stupid 60Hz refresh smart tv to the monitor that I just bought with a 180mhz refresh rate. I'm looking for to that. then, I'm gonna kill myself to find some freakin high speed internet on the rough part of town that I live in. they've all said, oh no, we don't have any lines in that neighborhood, yet. we'll put you on our list when we do, we'll let you know. ya, right you will. do you play MOH?

Hello i just watched your video and i like it.. however i want to buy this exact same model with gtx 1660 super and ryzen 5 5600g do you recommend such a purchase for the long run ? Is it good to use it for some heavy gaming.. and would there be any issues with the setup considering that the motherboard is not for gaming at all .. pls i am really stuck here 😞

[@bradfordskeldorado]

My only concern for the 1660 super version is that some that I have seen only have 1 hdmi hook up and a dvi port. The reference card they use is very limited. I don't know exactly what you have in mind for heavy gaming. I just did a quick test on the games shown and haven't used the pc much more since testing. All of the components are suitable for gaming so I don't think you would have any issues and you always have a little room to upgrade in the future! I hope this helps

HP does have a customer cupport option to purchase replacement parts for their products. I would probably take some fine grit sandpaper (1000 grit) and sand the scratches and paint it.

Hi, Brad! I have a intel i7, 6400, 32 gigs of raM, a WD NVMe, an amd rx580 and my boss wants my computer. Will this victus model lag behind it or will it be an upgrade? Thanks a lot for your wonderful review and ANY Help you can provide, and thanks agaIN.

[@bradfordskeldorado]

So the computer you currently have would probably out perform the victus. The difference is the intel cpu you have is a 4 core vs the 5600g being a 6 core. So the 5600g would have more cores to process games or programs but the rx580 is still a stronger gpu even though it's about 5 years older. But you could possibly save time and money by buying an rtx 3060 to swap out your rx580 and have a great jump in performance! Bottom line, I would hate for you to get rid of what you have now to spend money on an equal performing pc. Now, the parts are newer and would have a warranty but I wouldn't expect a huge jump in performance. I hope all of this helps and thank you for the compliments!

[@bradfordskeldorado]

Feel free to drop your channel info! I would be down to check it out!

[@nathannathan8053]

How did you get that good of performance I looked on KZbin and everyone is hating on the rx 6400 😂what would this get on Fortnite or roblox😊

[@bradfordskeldorado]

Other than it running a little hotter than I'm used to, this thing actually did surprisingly well. For the price of the rx6400 you could get an 8gb rx580 or even find a used 1660. I did a $150 pc build and used an rx6400 I got locally and it was a little powerhouse!.. after I cut the case up lol.

[@YouTubenikadusoleil]

Hello sir, I have exactly this PC. Do you think an MSI 4060 Gaming X can fit inside?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

This gpu would fit!

[@dboyissick7829]

Hey man is it possible to swap cases ?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

It's not really practical with this motherboard style. It has a front and rear I/O that is specific for this case and it has proprietary connectors and a smaller power supply for this case. If you planned to buy and swap it, you might as well but everything and build the pc yourself. Adding a $60-$90 case, $80-$120 power supply and a $100 motherboard would have this pc around $800 and you can build a pretty good pc at that price point

[@julienjd88]

hello comrade do you think to make a new video on this PC with even better to see if we can still gain in FPS?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

I can check to see if another gpu can improve beyond the 2060 that I used as an upgrade. I have a 3060 but with the 300w power supply, I believe it would be too much. I can possibly buy an rx6600 but may take a bit until I flip some other pcs to buy it

[@ellenboose8146]

So you cannot upgrade the ssd and no 2 nd slot for a nvme m.2 , what hard drive did you add ?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

Unfortunately it does only have 1 nvme slot but you can add a 2.5" ssd for storage. The HDD I added was just a 2tb drive I had laying around and the cage is big enough to fit one but the 2.5" will mount in it too! Hope this helps

[@julienjd88]

Hello comrade the form? for the ram I wanted to know the voltage and the frequency I can put what I want like 1.20 or 1.35 it goes on this pc? and the speed also 3200 mh is good?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

The voltage shouldn't matter as far as the ability to use it. Now, if you have a system that is set to 1.2v and you use 1.35v then it could limit it to 1.2v. Also if it is a 1.35v system and you use 1.2v the it will also limit it to 1.2v. So you should be able to use it and get more memory but you may not be able to utilize 100% of the computers memory frequency is you are trying to overclock. Best bet is to get the 1.35v ram and if you have a 1.35v system, then you're good to go. If you have a 1.2v system then you're not losing anything my having the 1.35v kit in it. Hope this helps!

[@ms-ex8em]

can u buy a 14 th gen i7 cpu processor too with this particular model? thanks..............

[@bradfordskeldorado]

No, this is an am4 motherboard. I believe they make a newer intel platform now but I'm not 100% sure it would have the psu and cooler for a 14th gen i7

[@julienjd88]

Hello Comrade the form? what is the configuration to do on this pc like the max to run all the games in 1080p without worry in high or ultra thank you in advance

[@bradfordskeldorado]

With this pc, I would add a gpu similar to the one I did in this video. Adding a better gpu wakes this thing up and unlocks a lot of performance!

[@vgchat]

So you was talking about adding in a 2nd fan on the side of the case. What all is needed to hook it up and secure it in place?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

The inside black bracket has holes in it for something like an 80mm fan but you would need a splitter for the fan power.

[@chrisroberts5747]

I added an extra fan on the side. It didn't really seem to help it run any cooler

[@bradfordskeldorado]

I mainly did it because this little pc doesn't have but one fan in the rear. Just something you can do to pull in fresh air and depending on the fan size, I'm sure it could increase the volume. Not only that but the pc should have a set temp for the fan curves to speed up when needed.

[@christinebrown179]

Should I get a 1080p or 1440p monitor? I’m going to try it out of the box amd 5 5600g & amd rx 6400 8gb ram, 350w. We plan to upgrade the gpu & ram later.

[@bradfordskeldorado]

I personally would recommend 1080p gaming but that's not to say you couldn't do a 1440p monitor but set you setting to 1080. If you have the money, I would say go for it but wouldn't recommend 1440 gaming until you swap the gpu

[@christinebrown179]

@@bradfordskeldoradothank you!

[@matts5849]

Just picked up for 400 at wal mart. First time computer guy. Would adding 8gb more of ram necessary?

[@bradfordskeldorado]

It would help for sure! Just having the head room for some games but also multitasking if your gaming and listening to music or something. I would recommend this ram. This will keep the pc from reducing the ram speed and allow you to have the full 3200mhz speed. A-Tech 8GB DDR4 3200 MHz UDIMM PC4-25600 (PC4-3200AA) CL22 DIMM Non-ECC Desktop RAM Memory Module a.co/d/epACn0A

[@matts5849]

@bradfordskeldorado is the ram just plug n play or will I have to reconfigure the computer to it? Thanks for the help

[@bradfordskeldorado]

It is just plug and play. The pc recognizes that more ram have been installed and you don't have to do anything else.

[@taz23_dayz]

Is the 1660 super version good for 900 euro? Please respond if possible

[@bradfordskeldorado]

This pc was a good deal at the price I bought it. The 1660 super version for 900 euros would be a little high due to the fact that you could build a pc for that price that can out perform this pc. I recommend building one and being able to upgrade in the future with a psu that is not going to limit you. I am selling a pc right now for 500 USD or 460 euros that has a 1660 6gb and can be upgraded is the buyer wants

Where and how can i add more ssd storage ? and what kind no one can help not even hp i do not see any other spaces on board

[@bradfordskeldorado]

There is only one slot for an NVME drive, so you would have to install a bigger ssd if you wanted more storage on the motherboard. If you are just looking to add a 2.5 ssd for more storage, then you would just mount it in the cage that I installed the hard drive on and use the same connections I used in the hard drive. I hope this helps, but if not, please let me know!

[@themountainside1]

You should play less demanding games like valorant or Fortnite to max out its preformence

[@bradfordskeldorado]

I try to play a variety of games to include demanding games so you can see what the pc is capable of. Also, I try to only download one launcher to prevent spending a lot of time downloading more.
