That’s a pretty good setup that should game at decent quality

I have a same unit HP 8300 with i5 3570 currently having a gt 1030. Planning to upgrade soon with gtx 1650 or 1050 ti. For all i know our unit has 240w of power supply.

Question: Did you update the bios to make the gtx 1650 working? I have heard that some other graphic cards doesn't work in this kind of desktop unit.

Jordan Legaspi I’ve not actually put it all together yet, it’s just all paid for, just waiting for the SSD and GPU to arrive now in the next few days, I’ve seen plenty of videos of them working on YT so I’m hoping there’s no issues.

Like I said in the video, it will work but for how long is unknown. I don’t personally know of any that have failed though.

Reversing the fan is possible? Wow.. I would try it today..My Gigabyte 1650 LP goes upto 85 despite me doing everything.. I couldn't find any solution to bring down the temperature.. Will try your advise..

@@mayanksingh12 With all the videos on KZfaq about putting a GTX 1650 in a HP SFF PC I'm surprised no one else is talking about this issue and to me this is an obvious solution for anyone that regularly builds PCs. It's just understanding airflow through the case. As I put this together for someone else I can't tell you if temps reach their limit after many hours of intense game play but it made about 10C difference under idle and after running the bench mark the GPU temps didn't get much over 70C. However, I believe the Zotac GTX 1650 might run a little cooler than some others like the Gigabyte GTX 1650 OC.

1650 LP has factory cooling issues that can be solved by adding washers to back screws to increase cooler pressure

Sounds like some good deals for a nice little editing machine. Happy gaming mate

but 1050 isnt a great card tho ryt?

@@abran3333 its pretty good for 1080p gaming, it can run gta 5 in ultrs settings no problem, all competitive shooters are also good. but rn i would recommend yhe gtx 1660s or 1650s

That’s pretty cool!

Question: do You use the same power suply unit of your stock pc or do you use a gaming psu like evga, gigabyte, etc?

I was hoping I answered the majority of questions

@@EverythingbySam Will the 1650 low profile gddr6 work in dell optiplex 780 sff?

Please don’t ask me compatibility questions, I state this in the video and the reasons why. I do my best to cover most answers in the video and the rest is up to you to do a bit of research.

@@EverythingbySam Okay Thank You for replying I will do a bit more research about this.

@@zacheius7153 yes it will, but there could be a massive bottleneck. I would personally go for the gtx 1050 ti low profile instead :)

240 w?

@@edigarcia06not even half of that. Prolly pulls 50watts. These get all their power from the pcie lane so it couldnt pull that much power even if it wanted it Factory 80 watt psu is fine. Will run it with out a hitch.

It would be better to download msi afterburner and set you gpu fan curves with it. Bios wouldn’t support it unless your machine came with a discreet gpu

@@thepopeofkeke yeah thats what I did.

Google it, don’t expect people to do the research for you.

It would be a pretty good combination for her to start gaming.

I have known of a few people that have done that.

Yes

Yes, the case is small and has bad airflow so 80 is fairly average. The card will throttle itself to prevent overheating.

Your pc gonna explode just buy a 300$ pc instead

I haven’t used the MSI card so I can’t compare the 2 but these SFF cases get very little airflow so it is not uncommon for them to get quite hot. I get my temperature readings after a torture test so it’s an unrealistic load scenario which can make the GPU run hotter but a custom fan profile will always help with temps.

Had to use 4x pcie but see minimal loss

Quite risky for such low wattage psu.

How's your PSU right now? Is still working fine?

No, I didn’t want to make the video to complex for the average person to follow so doing things like starts to scare people off doing this themselves

Also it's not really necessary. Its low profile card for a reason.

It can be entirely necessary to lower the power to save power and heat output prolonging the life of the entire system

@@thatkidmingming7390 nah bro, the pcie slot limits 75w no more that, these lp cards were made for these power supply's and cases (240w and above) specifically for the people who like gaming on office pc's "enthusiast" sadly these cards have gone up 100 dollars more than what they were priced.

I have one of these 1650 lp graphics cards in my Optiplex, I got a BSOD and my screen is artifacting. If I upgrade the psu will it send more power to the gpu or is the Dell motherboard the culprit?

I answer this in the video

@@EverythingbySam could you answer it ? because not everyone has the time to watch the whole video. thank you.

So they can’t extend the courtesy and spare 7 minutes to watch a video but expect me to go out of my way to answer their question?

@@EverythingbySam like i said. some people do not even have that time or they can not understand your english or many other reasons. that's why it is important not to quickly judge and be more friendly.

to answer you. the uploader has a different and lower version of the i5 cpu. he said it bottlenecked. your version should be OK as it is higher.

I have an in-depth stats screen overlay when I am benchmarking so I can check everything like that and the CPU was pegged at 100% but the GPU wasn’t which indicates a CPU bottleneck. RAM can also cause issues and end up page filing if more RAM than you have is required which can also cause stuttering but unfortunately just adding more in this situation would of done little to help.

I talked about recommended CPUs towards the end of the video that I think would provide less of a bottleneck

Please watch and listen to the video

Find the dimensions of the card then measure your case. I would find it nearly impossible to not find one build that features a similar sized card fitting.

There is no exact science to how long it will last but you are just at an increased risk of damaging the power supply.

Should be a good combo for creativity and gaming

There are no real differences between the various brands, they all have a fan cooler and use the exact same amount of power. The HP should work at a glance but I am not going to do the research for you sorry.

Did I say at Dell at some point in the video? Sorry that’s my mistake. These are office PCs designed to do low powered work so HP doesn’t expect they PSU to fail but they also don’t really want you to add in a graphics to add extra strain on the PC either. The power supplies aren’t generally design around the principle of pulling close to maximum wattage for long periods of time while gaming which adds extra heat and stress into components shortening their lifespan. The case isn’t well optimised to flush out extra heat either and heat plays a big part in the life span of your PSU so there are multiple factors which could cause the power supply to fail not just extra wattage it isn’t accustomed to. I wanted to make sure I laid out as much information as possible so people could make up their own minds and understand the risks.

You can never say that with certainty as the maximum rated wattage isn’t for a continual sustained load plus there is also power supply degradation over time and heat as factors. 75W for GPU and 95W for CPU is already 170W let alone a couple of watts each per drive and any other accessories can add up quickly. The power supplies used in these systems are intended for low power office use so while adding in a GPU is possible there are still risks involved that people need to know about.

@@EverythingbySam But I can... with absolute certainty. Let me tell you why. Sorry, this is going to be long. It's not a simple concept. First off, you've severely over estimated power consumption. You quoted the CPU's TDP, which is entirely flawed. While the TDP with graphics cards can often correlate with the power consumption, they aren't the same thing and you can see power consumption well over the rated TDP. Though that's MUCH less of an issue on LP cards, and entry level cards in general. However, with CPU's it doesn't even correlate. TDP stands for thermal design power, and it's a rating of heat, in watts. And power consumption isn't even a factor in the equation in which they arrive to the TDP. It's a largely arbitrary number and has nothing to do with power consumption. The i5 2500 is going to consume a peak of about 58 watts in an all core workload in one of these OEM SFF systems. I know, because I've tested it. If you wanted to toss on an i7 2600, that goes up by about 10 watts. You might see higher in an unrealistic workload like Prime 95 with small FFTs, but you still won't see 95 watts. The hardware just isn't capable of that kind of power delivery. You'd have to cram so much voltage down the pipe that the VRM wouldn't be able to manage it. You'd fry some mosfets and you'd probably kill the CPU as well, or at the very least, degrade the silicon. You wouldn't even see 95 watts if you put it in a board with much better power delivery like a Z series board. Now let's talk about the GPU, you said 75 watts, but that's the max. You won't really see a low profile card consume that on average. Even a 1650 that has dedicated PCIe power, like the Gigabyte Gaming OC model, is only going to consume a little over 77 watts on average (Tom's Hardware). It's likely going to be lower unless you overclock. So even if the GPU were consuming 75 watts from the PCIe slot, your worst case scenario is about 135 watts between the two. The rest of the system, is going to consume very little, and a lot of it will be on the 3.3v and 5v rails, not the 12v. In fact, the GPU's VRAM will consume power from the 3.3v, not the 12v. No, power consumption isn't continual, and it certainly isn't a flat line, but these power supplies might be low wattage, but they are no slouch either. These are business systems and Dell, HP, Lenovo... they overbuilt them. As someone who use to work for Dell and HP in the field, I didn't replace a lot of power supplies, for that reason. It would have cost them more to send someone like me out to constantly replace sub par power supplies. It was cheaper to overbuild them. The power supply in that Z210 is most likely a Delta or maybe a HiPro unit. They're high efficiency and they didn't cheap out on them. They have two 12v rails, and they supply ALL 240 watts on those two rails. So the fans, drives (partially), memory, and all the other incidentals that you say "add up" aren't even pulling from that 240 watts as they're consuming power, mostly, from the 5v and 3.3v rails. And since these are high efficiency units that never saw more than 100 watts of power consumption in their lives, it safe to say that degradation isn't going to be much of an issue unless the poor thing was completely smothered it's whole life. Getting back to consistency, that 240 watt rating is a consistent rating, not peak. So, the power supply is capable of dealing with peaks above 240 watts. Not that the hardware in question is capable of that. There's no way that the CPU and GPU are capable of peaking past 240 watts. They don't have the power delivery to do it. In fact, Anandtech tested a full size Zotac 1650 with an i7 7820X @ 4.3GHz on an X299 board and their peak power consumption was 215 watts for the total system. And Tom's Hardware never saw the Gigabyte Gaming OC peak over 81 watts (JUST THE GPU) on their dedicated power testing equipment. They called it "remarkably consistent" and LP cards are going to be even more so. But even if the i5 2500 and LP 1650 were to peak too high, these power supply's have over current protection. It would simply shut off to protect the hardware. There's literally zero risk running any low profile GPU in one of these business SFF systems, outside of a fluke, which is possible with any power supply. In the end, you won't consume more than about 150 watts because the hardware isn't capable of consuming any more and it's more than capable of dealing with any peaks as the hardware isn't capable of peaking past 240 watts, and even if it were, the power supply could still deal with it. And even if it couldn't, it has protections built in to mitigate that. It's objectively fine.

Thank you for filling me in on a few things I was unaware of or not fully educated on. The condition I have seen some of these units in power supply degradation is a possibility as I have rarely seen one have a nice easy office life with proper ventilation. There are a few horror stories out there of these sorts of SFF setups but unfortunately you can never really be sure what caused it to go wrong so could of been a bad PSU or it got flogged to death in its original office environment.

I answer all these questions in the video mate

Adding RAM is a bit of myth that it improves performance as it’s only in version scenarios that it’s actually beneficial. The CPU bottleneck is the main cause for the low FPS.

As long as it doesn’t require an additional power connector

@@EverythingbySam thank you very much.

Your question/comment makes no sense sorry.

Good luck and happy gaming!

What is the specific name of the adapter that we would need? I ordered a 1650 to with hp compaq sff and a 400 watt power supply but did not realize that I needed an adapter as well

You will have to do a bit of research yourself. Google is your friend

@@stefanjones5424 you might need a SATA to 5 pin that's what I got anyway for my rx 570 and it helped alot

If you watched the video you would know I said I am not asking compatibility questions sorry.

Your cpu is a major bottleneck. A GTx 1650 would be wasted on your setup. A better match would be a 1050 Check this bottleneck calculator. pc-builds.com/calculator/

Running your system close to maximum rated wattage especially for long periods of time can severely degrade the life of the PSU which in turn can damage components if it dies. It’s always good to run the PSU at about 10-20% under the maximum wattage to give it a nice buffer to account four various variable a computer has to offer.

If it’s basically the same size and layout of this setup then yes.

To think that used to mean so much back in the day

Yes

Keep in mind this video is over 2 years old now. The i7 2600 variants of this SFF were way overpriced, much more than your $5-$10 suggestion and not very available at all.

@@EverythingbySam Welp, you can actually redo this video, and upgrade the desktop with a i7 2600 Non k, those go for less than 25 bucks now, people officially call it obsolete. But I think its the best upgrade path if you have the board that supports it.

@@gdjaybee742 I no longer have this computer and to me the Intel 2000 is no longer a good recommendation anymore. I am currently not really interested in making another video on this topic until some better low profile options become available. There is only really the RTX A2000 but it’s cost us ridiculous. Here’s hoping NVIDIA and AMD have a new low profile GPU in their new product stacks.

If it’s a SFF case the same as I have shown it will fit.

I basically answer this in the video

The i5 7400 is good for the 1650S

@@llkk3557 thanks for the reply have a good day stay safe

There are multiple reasons it might not be detected as stated in this video, not all SFF PCs allow PCIe GPU’s and some have settings in the BIOS you might need to tweak. It is up to you to do the research and find the answers as there are many different variables that can be at play.

My pc is same with you, z210 sff. Only cpu is different, mine is i3 2120, I want to know step by step how you built your pc. Maybe i skip 1 or more important step.

I literally show me installing the card and in what slot to put it in. I am not typing out the steps, watch the video closely, rewatch sections if you have to. It’s not hard, insert the card into the 16X PCIe slot and connect a monitor to it, a picture should show, if not there are far to many variables for me to help troubleshoot in a comment sections so you will have to do your own research.

I personally wouldn’t risk it but that doesn’t mean that it might not work.

@@EverythingbySam I might get in contact with my manufacturer to see if they can send me out a better power supply. Thanks for the tip!

No worries, good luck!

V-sync can actually degrade your card or power supply as more demanding scenes will cause your card to ramp up quickly to work harder pulling more voltage suddenly where as if you leave your FPS uncapped it is a constant voltage flow

​@@EverythingbySam Depends on the scene. That's why i'm talking about when you are having lots of fps but stuttering. Also you can undervolt the GPU and you won't have any risk if you're getting not a lot of fps but still getting stutters. Low Profile GTX 1650's can be overclocked with MSI afterburner or in case of gigabyte, the Aorus Engine. But they will never reach more than 75 watts in power usage because of limitations by the PCI express lane.

I know all of this but didn’t want to include it in the video as it would complicate things and begin to scare people away who may of wanted to attempt this themselves.

@@EverythingbySam undervolting is not a big deal, it's just limiting the gpu's performance. And V-Sync does not affect the GPU's lifespan. In most of the cases it helps to improve the lifespan and even saves energy.

Undervolting correctly is a big though especially to get the efficiency curve correct, to low and you will be constantly crashing, to high and you’re dumping excess heat wasting power. Yes v-sync lowers your power consumption but when more graphical demand happens and the card all of a sudden has to ramp up pulling additional voltage which can degrade both the GPU and PSU because of the voltage spikes.

Nope only DDR3 ram but graphics card ram (GDDR) doesn’t effect compatibility.

I literally answer all of this in the video

@@EverythingbySam I need constant reassuring and comfort xD I've asked this question everywhere, sorry if it's a bit annoying

My low wattage psu last 3 years with gt 640 and that's a 60 watt card. Just expect a shorter lifespan for 240 w psu if you are using a 75 w card.

@@TheKestevon 3 years It's alright for me if I can have a 1650 or a 1050 Ti. I'm currently using a GT 1030 so maybe your case it's special

I don’t have another system on hand to check how the card performs at its best so I can’t answer that one. PCIE Gen 3 is rated for 75W, that is an industry standard and cannot be modified but most OEM system integrators advertise a lower spec than that on their website due to the low wattage of the included power supplies and not wanting you the pull the full possible 75W the slot actually provides.

Hi as mentioned by "Sam" the standard is meant for 75watt, but some cheaper boards with bad quality and thin wiring and solder welds get hot and will not push more than 30/40 watt constant - think of speakers, they have a peak value but cant run at that level for long Other mother boards use bios to limit max current via PCI because they have larger power supply that use 4/6/8 pin additional power to the video cards If you over tax a system the larger drain items will drop first, for example a older hard drive or CPU / case fan draw the most wattage, they will receive less power first, for video cars, it will actually still run but will work as a "underclocked" unit and will still run, but not to its full potential as there is not enough wattage to keep feeding the GPU - you will get glitches and black bars on the screen similar to digital TV in bad weather Watch say a youtube video on say power consumption of a PC when idle as compared to normal work then to using a benchmark program or say prime 95, the graphics card will run but not render as many frames / etc as it can because not enough watts is getting to the GPU to power it when working hard - I have seen a PC with the mechanical hard drive stop turning - one reason to go to SSD as they draw very little power because they are not powering a small electric motor to spin drive platters Regards George

george maragos hey, I have an optiplex 7010 and I used a power meter to see power consumption under load which was 70W since my PSU is 240W at 80% efficiency 192W could be drawn from the PSU. The GTX 1050Ti at load is 75W leaving me headroom of almost 50W from the 145W power usage. So I got it all figured out in the end.

@@EverythingbySam pc parts in aus are so expensive. Can u give link where u got the 1650 lp from?

As stating in the video it was from eBay during a sale. Due to current circumstances prices have risen drastically due to the fall of the AUD.

Undervolting is an option but I didn’t want to include that in this video as it’s a bit more complex to get it right than an average user may be able to do.

I literally state in this very video I am not going to be answering compatibility questions.....

Why would it not? I have one in my HP Z210 SFF.

I literally have an overlay with all the stats I look at while in game so I can see exactly which system resources are being utilised and all 4 cores of the CPU were constantly pegged at 100%. The 2500K has a higher base clock speed and can be overclocked which helps process all those frames to prevent bottlenecking

Everything By Sam Oh, you mean the overlay you blurred out here in the video? would’ve been nice to see those clearly. Intel’s website says different, both base and boost are the same at stock, anyway if they were pegged at 100% then this CPU is very much pointless on limited hardware.

The gameplay was background filler for the benchmark numbers and would of been distracting visually with your eyes focused on the wrong area trying to read the overlay. The CPU’s have the same stock clocks but the 2500K can be overclocked which bridges the bottleneck gap making it a more viable option. The 2500 is still useless but just with a less powerful GPU. I showed the overlay at the end in the Apex Legends gameplay as an example if you’re that genuinely concerned about it. The point of the video was, is this a viable option? as I reckon it would be a popular combo to consider and I showed and answer that which is literally what the video title is and I even made suggestions on what CPU would be a better option as well as what would be a better GPU pairing for the i5 2500.

I summarise my recommendations at the end of the video.

Low profile card uses the same wattage as a normal desktop version.

@@EverythingbySam But people say after a months time or so their power supply just goes out so I'm thinking of gt 1030 what do you think?

I talk about the risks and lay out the facts in the conclusion of this video. I am not going to outright help you choose sorry. I give you the information to help you choose.

​@@EverythingbySam Alright, I'm just saying what's your opinion and I did watch the video and it doesn't really help to choose, anyways. Thanks for replying.

A GTX 1650 is a 75W card, a PCIE gen 3 16x slot provides exactly 75W. The 240W has to supply power to the CPU, HDD/SSDs, DVD and anything else connected so it can be up to or close to the 240W limit quite easily which can cause issues. 300W is the suggested minimum wattage to add some extra overhead for a typical system. It is not the recommended wattage for just the card but for the overall average system that would have this card in it.

I don’t think you’re measuring power draw correctly as just the GPU is 75W and the CPU is about 75-95W under load so that’s at least 150W just there.

Monitoring tools install on your PC aren’t accurate. You need to be reading total power draw from the wall.

@@EverythingbySam sorry for the late reply, but as far as the Watts, would upgrading from an i5-2400 to an I7-2600 cause more stress on the system? From benchmarking tests I’ve seen that the wattage intake is 95W on both CPU’s. I really want to build my PC to be able to play AAA games on Medium/High Quality, but at the same time I don’t want to have to start from scratch due to me over stressing it. Also, I know you want people to go out and research themselves but believe me, for the past week I have and all I’ve gotten is different answers to the same question. Some people say the 1650 LP will work with an I7 and then some people will say that the i5 won’t work, when that’s what’s already in my system. Dells compatibility sheet answers most of my questions with compatibility, but on the ones it doesn’t answer, I’m left with trusting strangers with no certain answers. But thanks for replying to me, and helping me.

All you have to do is look up on KZfaq i7 2600 and GTX 1650 and there will be at least a couple of benchmark videos showing you the performance and hopefully running some monitoring software on screen to show if it bottlenecks. You should be able to decide from the benchmarks wether it is worth it or not for you. As for compatibility I can’t answer that as I am sorry I am not going out of my way to research it so sometimes you have to bite the bullet and just test it yourself. I am sure there is a video or forum post out there using the same version Dell SFF as you but you might have to spend a while looking.

If you can get some good deals it is.

You could undervolt the GPU but there is no guarantee that would be enough the prolong the life of your PSU but then again undervolting can’t really do anymore damage then running stock would.

This sort of build is for someone that doesn’t want to or afraid to build their own PC from scratch or even has limited space or needs portability. Instead of having to do a lot of work all you need to do is slap and SSD in and add a graphics cards and you’re up and running with little effort on your part. It’s a good way to get yourself into the door of PC gaming and a bit of tinkering without having to completely build your own.

@@EverythingbySamthere are still stores and large system builders that will supply you with a PC that is more suitable for gaming. These machines may come pre assembled but the small size and custom parts can make them a real hassle to work on.

You definitely won’t find a brand new system for this price. Yes it takes the hassle out of doing it yourself with a more upgradable build out but this not everybody wants that so this is just another option for people looking to join the pc gaming community.

@@EverythingbySam sure but you definitely won't get the same life out of this system as new hardware either. This is better than nothing if it is all your budget allows. But for anyone that can scrape more cash together I don't think this is a good option. I wish it were. I would be all over it.

Some people aren’t looking at upgrading their system in the future or would rather just buy a whole new one. Yes this has no real upgrade path but who cares, they will get their 2-4 years (estimation) out of it and by that time they may have a lot more money and a lot more interest in PC gaming all because a system like this got them interested.

There are 300W and 400W variations available although not regularly available. You can also purchase adapters for a few dollars at most to use a more traditional PSU so there are options.

The CPU was released in 2011 so I would say around about that time. There are so many variables such as the 1050Ti is weaker so it requires less CPU processing for frames plus you may also have a different more powerful CPU, you might be running different games or different settings just to name a few.

As long as they are available and for a good price (plenty out there asking to much for refurb units). Availability is the hardest thing with these so I have found you just have to check every couple of days for new listings.

You would need to lower the clock and voltage for that to make a difference. Lowering the clock speed doesn’t lower the power draw

I have not done a video on undervolting nor have one I would recommend sorry. That’s something your going to have to find yourself.

i7 has faster core speeds and intern faster instructions per clock so it would definitely lower or eliminate the bottle. The GT 1030 unfortunately won’t play anything other than esports titles and old games and because it’s only a GT model not a GTX you miss on NVIDIA proprietary recording software which I think is a great freebie to have.

@@EverythingbySam Thats a good point, Wow you really know your stuff!!!!

I try my best but am always learning.

Watch the video before asking questions......

@@EverythingbySam yes I watched the video. 👍

Well your question was answered in the video

@@EverythingbySam maximum performance it's lag.. But can Should the PC be shut down by consuming too much power by gpu?

No, I also answered that in the video.

This is addressed in the video

I am not answering compatibility questions

Yes make sure you have a nice efficient cpu

Watch the video, I literally talk about this

I don't think it's worth it

@@hallucy2215 I just bought that pc to get a feel what I need to a pc I'm going build since I have never had a pc before

Power supply not adapter and running it close to or at maximum wattage will degrade it over time with can cause severe damage to more than just the PSU

@@EverythingbySam well, ihad nearly 4 years the 1050 ti and now the 1650 lp and the system still works after nine years...

There is no overall determining factor to if the system the system will fail but drawing additional power, heat, poor ventilation and many more damage the power supply. It isn’t a guarantee that it will but it increases the odds so everyone should know the risks involved.

Watch the video........

No sorry, if I had one on hand I would but I have another plan for this PC

It wasn’t the RAM effecting it as I had a diagnostic interface overlay when gaming so I could see how much everything was being utilised. The CPU was constantly being pegged at 100% but not all RAM was in use.

Faster windows boot times and reliability for little to no extra cost. You’re crazy to not have at least your operating system on an SSD these days.

I might consider it once all the new components are out such as Ryzen 4000 series and Big NaVi GPUs

That version wasn’t even available when I made this video.......... Check the date of the upload before wasting your time writing useless comments

As I said in the video mate, please don’t ask me compatibility questions as I am not going to go do to research for you sorry. If you aren’t able to find information on your model then you might just have to risk it and buy the GPU in hopes that it works or sell the PC and buy one you know is compatible.

Everything By Sam Unfortunately, I don't know English until I understand the video 😅

I have had a few people say that but I am sorry I am not going to make an exception

Everything By Sam The question is whether it works successfully or not

I have not used your model so I would have to look up the specs, search through forums hoping to find a post that said it works or evidence that it might. I am not making an excepting for you as I get asked similar questions multiple times a day which is why I said in the video “I will not be answering compatibility questions.”

Watch the video and you will found out as I literally mention it within the first minute or so

Apologies! The Description of the video says dell and the video shows an HP.

I have now fixed the description. Thanks for the heads up.

@@EverythingbySam Thanks! Great informative video too!

That’s what I am for so thank you!
