Sorry, I don't have this PC anymore. As I remember there are plastic clip/s holding the fan, then you disconnect the fan power and take the fan out for cleaning.

Push the front button in the front to open the tray, if it does not work (no lights/power) - you might need to open the computer and re-plug the SATA power and data cables inside.

Thanks for your suggestion/s.👍👍👍

You are smart! I just finished recording in changing the cooler - still editing it, will be posting soon. On the VRM, I probably will do that later on.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP Great. Attention!!! If you change the cooler, it is essential to install the heatsink for the VRMs or it will overload.

@@andersonlima6538 You are right - need to get a VRM heatsink. Thanks.

​@@MICROCHIPFLIP🤜🏼🤛🏼👍

@@Andersonsljr Mentioned you in my video - XPS cooler replacement. If you don't want your name in there, I can take it out. Thanks.

Which computer/video are you putting a GPU? This all-in-one - you can't put a GPU on it.

You’re welcome 😊

Nice. Get a couple of NVMe install them in each PC. You have 2 very fast working computer/s. Just FYI ... will not support Windows 11, because Win 11 requires 8 generation and above, but there are work-around to bypass requirements - google how to .... Windows 10 support/updates will end October 2025.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP yep! There is a kind of Win 10 extension: 0 Patch. Think there is a small annual fee, but it's for.. 5 years. There is a kind of Microsoft plan, where you can keep Win 10 for about 3 more years, but it's kind of pricey! As a kind of hobby I look for electronics in dumpsters and curbside stuff!

@@j.lietka9406 Yes, I read about the Win 10 extension ... that's great - but if costly, it's not worth it. I sold a few of these computers not meeting Win 11 requirements but installed Win 11 bypass the CPU and TPM requirements - of course I inform the buyers. All of them don't really care bec it still does all the updates anyways. I do some dumpster and curbside too, but mostly I buy them from offerup and/or craigslist. I upgrade and do videos and sell them. I don't make much money, it's a hobby (I'm retired - and keeps the brain active) - and I just like messing around with computers - it's fun.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP you should see the PCs, laptops, tablets, other electronics I have collected!! I have sold a couple of laptops on CL, but not the volume I thought I would. If it doesn't sell, I donate it the Goodwill, as I can't keep holding on to them! Found a couple of older Macintosh computers, they work, but haven't listed them on CL.

Yes, typo - it's a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphic card.

Like say something? Noted.

SATA data cables are about $1.00 - $2.00 per cable. You can get a 5 pack for $6.00 in Amazon. www.amazon.com/SaiTech-Straight-Locking-Compatible-Driver/dp/B0CRD9BS7R/ref=sr_1_19?crid=2J1LSU6SWJF4I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Hcymr28EWv5AGud5giaZRD_BoipNDa8JdG85l5cRDM6giZXubEgGPw_P_NStaUm_J48uOIvXYoyFZX8RXFGWXF4TJdXy-bOp_c-d_j4yBSHTP0ZIEUp8mH0iXKykD47kGuMGzBBD_UEpHHShDT-BrlypnhIBgDxB_iKIxYEXCl_p7C5o86cTWTbzpRy3GV9Ku_q4qJfC8pDSZK7BNlAtCPf6wA7iKL9AOXccQkHN2AY.zHK2sL9EZ0je5qb0si7t5rAsn1cxwGwgt1SDT_dyU98&dib_tag=se&keywords=sata%2Bcable&qid=1721567732&sprefix=sata%2Bcable%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-19&th=1

Yes, I could, but I am selling it as is. Maybe the next owner will upgrade the PSU and install a GPU.

Yes, it does.

Not sure if it supports 10tb, it does support the 6tb I installed. Sorry idk.

I don't have this PC anymore - sold. But yes, you could do 3 HDD for RAID 5, the power cables are there all you need are the HDDs and SATA cables.

Congratulations, good choice! AMD Ryzen are good CPUs, 16 GB RAM is perfect for what you use for, 32 GB would be better if you are running multiple extensive software. I don't like slow PCs either, thus I buy PCs and upgrade (RAM, SSD/NVMe) then KZfaq video them, then sell them. That's my hobby, to give chances in reviving slower PCs and make them faster. Well, good luck ....

@@MICROCHIPFLIP I have some left over ram that I'm going to toss in it since its DDR4. Just stuff that I have from other stuff I recycled at the shop.

@@Johnny_Fox_Show Nice ... should speed up processing. I do video editing, with 32 GB RAM, it speeds up my rendering in Adobe Premiere and After Effects - big difference.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP I am not even thinking about using this for editing i already got a monster build at home for that with a ryzen 5900x and a 6800xt gpu and 64gb ram (was 128 before the original rig broke down). Renders an hour long video in like 3 minutes.

@@Johnny_Fox_Show Wow, you are all set on your build. That's super-fast - 1hr video rendered in 3 minutes, very nice. I did have a precision dual Xeon 64GB RAM, that was very fast as well. Buyer tested and installed Fusion and was impressed with speeds - no hiccups - sold 😀. I should have kept it he he he, I got too many computers.

I don't have this anymore, but I recall that there were never fan issues - sound wise - very quiet.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP Thanks a lot! I have a G4 2400GE unit and was using it for mostly light activities, but it has some fan noise, not too bad though, it was just a bit unusual.

I used regular SATA cable from amazon. The SSD power cable was already available from the power supply.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP thanks

Yep, didn't even think of it. Thanks.

Nice.

Ha ha ha. Don't need to be famous. I'm retired, and this is my hobby. Hoping I am able to help/show others on PC upgrades and stuff.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP for me for now you're the famous guy ❤️❤️

@@KemoHosNy Well, thank you. You are a nice person. You have a great one!

@@MICROCHIPFLIP thanks tho

Correct, I could put an ssd or 2.5 HDD to replace the dvd. Battery was checked when I cleaned, was reading okay in my meter. Thanks for the advice.

You could get a fan, make sure it fits on the power connector in the motherboard. Or if you have NVMe you really don't need fans, just NVMe heatsink.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP tengo NVMe, cierto, creo que con el disipador para NVMe estará muy bien, muchas gracias

Yes, it fit, but it was a pretty tight fit - bent the cage a just little bit.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP have you ran it with 3 drives? if so any heat issues?

No, I didn't install a 2.5 because I broke the data cable for the HDD. And it sold right away anyway with just the 2 nvme.

@@butterbagboy I've got 72 'C degrees on NVME2 , with this combo. Not pretty !

You are exactly right. You may put the SSD there and retain the HHD.

é possivel?

I don't have this PC anymore. But yes, m.2 sata should work.

Not sure if the 3050 would fit. But you will have to replace the power supply to at least 450 watts - requirement for the rtx GPU. Current psu is only 180 watts.

​@@MICROCHIPFLIP Thanks for the reply, I don't think the power will be an issue the RTX 3050 6GB draw 70W. The only concern is whether it will fit physically in this case or not.

@@sultansaeed7136 I believe it's possible. Check out the link: www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/16f749o/dell_precision_3420_with_a_rtx_4060/?rdt=64075

I can't remember, I don't think so. But there is a slot for wifi card.

Actually, it's the correct slots. Dimm 1 farthest from cpu, followed by dimm 2, 3, and dimm 4 nearest to the cpu.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP black slots and white slots are pairs actually

Actually, it's the correct slots. Dimm 1 farthest from cpu, followed by dimm 2, 3, and dimm 4 nearest to the cpu. It's all labeled - can't go wrong. Ha ha ha, you noticed that, it's 6tb. The 1tb was a typo.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP thought the same, we are paying attention to your great videos, wink.

Thanks for the video. Could you please specify the NVMe drive you installed? I'd like to add an NVMe to my Z240 SFF but haven't found information about which types or models are compatible.

@@vitaliiglorytoukraine9216 Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this post. I installed a KIOXIA NVMe to this PC - cheapest in Amazon at that time. FYI ... any NVMe PCIe would work.

Most likely RAM issue. Try to re-seat. Or if you have 2 sticks, try one and the other - switch.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP ty!

Yes, you can remove and mount to another PC. Once booted to windows, immediately do a windows 10/11 update to install drivers in the new machine. OR you can fresh install windows. I have videos to download windows 10/11 to a USB and how to fresh install windows to a new PC. Backup your files first.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP thx

Hi. I don't think its going to work. The motherboard and system panel headers are proprietary to HP Victus case. You also have to change your PSU to 550w or higher to run the 3060 GPU. With the new PSU - power connectors in the motherboard is different - not going to work. You have to get a new motherboard that supports the Ryzen CPU - transfer the CPU, RAM, and HDD (NVMe and/or HDD). Plus a new PSU and PC case.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP thanks

Sold it for $130 without the 3TB HDD (buyer had his own HDDs)

I actually kept this PC - I like it. Sure, what's your question/s?

what all upgrades would you recommend? like grapic card ext@@MICROCHIPFLIP

it should be able to handle i7 7700/7700k based on support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05956608 But I would watch CPU temperature while using extensive software or gaming. I read that temperature could go hot and shut down the PC.

@@MICROCHIPFLIP I'm worried about temps on the i5 currently it has. It goes above 70°C easily while gaming.

I found this - www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/164kj9b/hp_elitedesk_800_sff_most_gens_cooling_upgrade/ There is an entry on the link where you could get a compatible cooler from ebay for 11 dols.
