My first ever computer build in 2018 was a 4th gen HP pavilion swap. PC had a Memphis 2 motherboard that was a standard called uATX and it wasn't this difficult to swap because it fit a ATX case just fine, I only needed some jumper pins to get rid of the warnings on boot up but everything else was a breeze and just worked. I remember the case was made by Deepcool and I had a GTX 1060 in it and i7 4690 16 GB ddr3 1600 it gamed pretty well. I eventually sold it to this farmer at my yard sale who had kids, it went to a good home and was well loved I'm sure. :)

Dell in a (nut)shell! 😂 Love seeing someone else trying to evade this proprietary BS. Had some adventures with HELL, HP & IBM (+Lenovo) Love your content! ❤😊

[@crimsontechyt]

The struggle is real, like you said, with most big brands 🥲✊🏻 Thank you! :D

Thank you! :D

[@CeeR17]

Hello crimson tech, just wanted to say I love the content bro keep it up👍

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you :D

[@AtteroDominatus]

I took the old office pc from work. It had an i5 4570 in it. Yeah.... it bottlenecked a 1650 super. I'm not the one to use that word for every situation. But when the cpu is maxed at 100% and thermal throttling while the gpu is only at best, 50% utilized... There is a major bottleneck.

[@BMW-M4-M-POWER]

4:13 for anyone thinking about dping this and reusing it I did and it will never be the same again so think twice u can’t put it back after pulling it out

[@C001EY-61]

Just watched this video and thought it was the funniest things ever. If you pass a HP Prodesk 600 G6 Could you also do a video on upgrading that one? Cheers 🎉

[@crimsontechyt]

Haha thank you :D ProDesks are a bit harder to do unfortunately, but I am planning to do an HP Pavillion!

[@C001EY-61]

@crimsontechyt Okay cool. Looking forward to that "sketchy masterpiece" 🤣🤣🤣

[@seanyworld6752]

Nice pc build, again!😊

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you! :)

[@Shaddy20]

lowkey wanna do this i just cant when it comes to the cables so ill have someone who can put it together do that for me :3

[@indogyrsimdead]

Cool videos thanks

[@iamuntremmelled]

U shd try case swapping a lenovo next

[@johnstancliff7328]

the biggest problem with this build is the motherboard. propriatary. the back I/O sheild is part of the original chassis and it has the front USB. I would have left it in the original case. the new chassis is one brand I've never heard of... I'll have to investigate that brand... pretty chassis with the mirrored glass...

[@damienflores1921]

if i use a 24 pin to 8 pin will it still work?

[@crimsontechyt]

If your motherboard has an 8 pin connector, and that cable is made for dell pcs, everything should work :)

[@BillyMichalakis]

bro can u link all the music u used in the video pleasee

[@IntelligentBuckethead]

Is it ok with that psu adapter 6pin.? Could it harm to the mb.? Because the original psu has 260w all the power connects to the mb..

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, it's perfectly safe. Dell is using the exact same cables, but just removed a couple. The adapter is literally the same cables, but soldered and fitted inside a 6-pin plastic housing

[@Research-u9u]

What about an HP prodesk 400 g1 or 2

[@crimsontechyt]

Unfortunately those have a very proprietary psu connector, so im not sure if those could be transplanted...

Could you try doing some builds with hp z2 g4 towers?

[@bennott23]

I just found your video and I love the way you call out DELL as being a bunch of money hungry jerks that use proprietary bs like Apple!!!

[@mariz9330]

Wait, you didn’t clean out the original paste and re-apply?

[@mariz9330]

Nvm, temps are good, as you report

[@EditzKai]

I mean just buy like a ryzen combo for 100 bucks to avoid this?

[@crimsontechyt]

That's a great option! But most places outside the US don't have a huge second hand market, so it's a lot harder to find those kind of deals

[@moebiuseight7977]

the six pin is for the 12 volt rail nothing to do with a psu

[@crimsontechyt]

Please watch the full video

[@toastbrosfan]

how is the motherboard not blown up with only 2 stand offs since the motherboard is conductive to metal

[@brokenliterally]

do the old ones (i.e : 960, 3020)

[@tulin_enjoyer]

So, despite you using a 5060 in the vid, a 3070 and a 7040 would still work with this guide as well?

[@crimsontechyt]

Yes, as long as they're from the same generation

[@tulin_enjoyer]

@@crimsontechyt Gotcha. Thanks for the reply

[@TrusteftTech]

Am I too weird that the one thing I like the most about these office PCs is how the actual case looks? Good fun video and I am glad everything worked out in the end. A bit too sketchy for me to do anything like that, it would ANNOY THE HELL out of me knowing that some things are not "perfect". I guess something is wrong in my head. Does it natively support Windows 11 or did you have to do anything special when re installing it? Thanks for a fun video and F to Dell indeed for all the proprietary things.

[@crimsontechyt]

Thank you! :) It natively supports W11, since it has a TPM 2.0 chip on the motherboard.

[@TrusteftTech]

@@crimsontechyt Thanks. Well one of my laptops has TPM 2.0 but Windows won't install due to the CPU being a i7 4710HQ, so you never know. :)
