Thanks Rick, I was looking for a video just like this to show me how easy it is to get to the fan for a clean. Much easier than I expected, Cheers.

[@rickstechrepairs]

great to read this video is of use to you

[@525Lines]

I just used this video to get my hard drive put in this PC. And got a good picture of the memory so I can buy a 16 gig stick. Thanks a lot.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Glad I could help!

[@user-ne1yg6io7q]

Great job dude, keep up the work!!!

[@rickstechrepairs]

Thanks!

[@dodie_smith]

This is how ALL demo videos should be! Thank you!

[@rickstechrepairs]

Thank you

Will this machine run two 3,5'' HDDs or will the second one not be recognised in BIOS?

[@bituboro3348]

Thnx it’s helping me a lot.. love from India 🇮🇳🫡

[@rickstechrepairs]

your welcome

[@neilcowleyUK]

I was looking for a video on the possibility of fitting a 3.5" HDD to a HP Slime S01-pF3000na and my search brought up this link. The S01-pF3000na seems very similar to this... do you know if that is possible? Random question sorry but great video!

[@tar170]

A 2.5" hard drive can be fastened in the lower bay position, but the motherboard's tall SATA power connector prevents the cage from closing properly. The upper position is fine and much easier to service.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Good tip

[@alternative-FATE]

hi Rick, may i ask you a question about my laptop that is really overheating? if yes, you can read it, and spend some time :D I got a big problem, my acer helios 300 with i5 8300H is overheating even undervolting at 99% and at its max 2100Mhz, the temp on really old games, like cryzis 3 can reach 96 degrees at minimum settings, it increase only while i play, on empty task it is 48-55, sometimes in chrome it increase to 60-65. Im really confused because it has a gtx1050ti, and the temp of gpu is not as big as the cpu, like 70-80 celsius while gaming. Thx for your attention. And also, one part of the laptop is every time hotter than the other, on the side of the cooling system.

[@rickstechrepairs]

70-80 degrees while gaming is great watch my video about hot laptops kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIjcqZpoZ8p3a7M

Is there a blu-ray burner for this computer? I have the HP S01-aF2003w.

[@robertalexander4310]

HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim Internal Ultra HD Blu-Ray Optical Drive/ 9.5mm/ UHD Drive would work but most people just use a USB sizes are much larger and easier for transfers. Or do an external blu ray burner.

[@525Lines]

@@robertalexander4310 Finally an answer! Thanks so much. I bought a slimline drive and found it's too fat for the slot. I guess "Ultra slimline" was what I should have been looking for.

[@jamiebishop9512]

I use one of these for an Ubuntu server. Do you know which CPU cooler can fit this mobo? I usually don’t F with prebuilts but this was cheap

[@rickstechrepairs]

no suggestions sorry

[@kidphlame]

would you be able to add a graphics card on this pc since the cpu has integrated graphics? or do you need to replace the cpu to add a graphics card here?

[@rickstechrepairs]

A small itx gpu would fit but might use too much power I couldn't recommend adding a gpu in to this budget computer case

[@kidphlame]

@@rickstechrepairs could i use a GT 1030?

[@bigdan2230]

I have a hp slim with an intel i3, what kind of graphics card do you yhink i could install?if any

[@rickstechrepairs]

need a SFF Graphics card, (Small Form Factor)

[@mlsala01221]

What are the best upgrades for gaming, especially for CPUs and GPUs?

[@rickstechrepairs]

there is very little in the upgrade path for this machine for gaming

[@mlsala01221]

@@rickstechrepairscan I add a rtx a2000 and replace the cpu with an intel i5?

[@Video_Fiend]

Would a Nvidia Titan XP fit in a gpu slot like that with the given space?

[@rickstechrepairs]

certainly not

[@Video_Fiend]

@@rickstechrepairs yeah, I just thought it would be funny if a GPU like that could even get close to fitting, because it would be so out of place.

[@dodie_smith]

I knocked over my HP Slim Desktop while moving furniture and now it won't boot up. I don't know much about computers, but following online instructions, I removed and replaced the hard drive, though the cables didn't seem loose. I don't see anything else loose. I ran the F2 diagnostics and everything passed except for the hard drive, which it says "1720-SMART Hard Drive detects imminent failure. Failing Drive : SATAO Failing attribute: # 07". Do you have any other videos that might help me?

[@rickstechrepairs]

Sounds like a failed hard drive since it was knocked over

[@dodie_smith]

@@rickstechrepairs Thanks, I appreciate the response. Following you to learn more about computers.

[@mlsala01221]

what type of motherboard is it and can it support a Intel Core i5-12600K, if not what motherboard can i replace it with to support a Intel Core i5-12600K?

[@rickstechrepairs]

no idea what it can support

[@debjyotibhattacharya603]

I have the similar desktop, Can i add amd rx 6400 low profile gpu in this pc?

[@rickstechrepairs]

possible, i forgot to show what rating the power supply is, but i suspect it could handle something like the RX6400

[@SpiderkingG]

Did you add the gpu and how did it go?

[@checho1033]

Is a sff 8gb graphics card compatible with it?

[@rickstechrepairs]

compared GPU Card size with what space the case has

@@rickstechrepairs alright cool I settled with navidia tesla p4 and I'm having trouble installing it, my pc keeps crashing and says driver verifier dma violation

[@luisrafaelferminmontilla7987]

you should do a video upgrading the PSU, is the thing holding back this PC the most.

[@rickstechrepairs]

only holding it back if you are wanting to upgrade your GPU

[@luisrafaelferminmontilla7987]

@@rickstechrepairsmy point exactly. I own one of these and I'm actually searching for an adapter so I can get enough power for my Arc A380 that I recently bought, but the HP power supplies that I found on Ebay will set you back as far as 150$ with little guarantee that they'll actually work.

[@luisrafaelferminmontilla7987]

@@rickstechrepairsanyways if you could do a video upgrading the PSU with an adapter or something similar, I think it would be awesome for people like me that come from countries where it's not easy to get extra parts like a new HP PSU. any ways if you're up for it, I already subscribed.

Do you know if it can be upgraded to an 11th gen cpu

[@zezba9000]

Sadly almost no GPU is going to fit into this. They needed to put PCIe slot at the top.
