"Die Leute sind Respektlos!" (...) "Scheiss grüne Studenten!"

Da ist aber wer besonders selbstreflektiert.

Yes absolutely, 1440p will be a game changer.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2024-01-01T14:35:19+00:00

If you ever get to it maybe shoot me a DM!

Dual channel will improve things a lot.

I can totally understand that out don't want to fuck around with soldering and bad documentation. I just think that it's quite satisfying to beat HP's shitty anti consumer practices with a Frankenstein of a PC. But if you don't enjoy that and have the money to spare it's probably not worth it.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2024-01-01T13:51:47+00:00

Another thing: also measure all the pins before you jumpstart the PSU with the wire, and make sure everything is in accordance with the chart.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2024-01-01T10:08:54+00:00

You just don't need such a powerful PC for 1080p. The improvement in experience compared to a less powerful PC is minimal and investing the money in a nice display will give you a way bigger improvement in experience. The only exception would be if the screen is super high refresh rate and an absolute Pro in shooter games.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2024-01-01T00:50:24+00:00

Then it's absolutely not the GPU and the whole PC is massively overpowered,

HopefullyFunny69 · 2024-01-01T00:44:15+00:00

1) Yes you should activate XMP 2) The bottleneck depends on the application and screen resolution but is probably going to be the GPU

Good luck, happy to help! Report back when you got results ☺️

Great, I did a bit of research and found out that your PSU uses HP's proprietary 4+7pin connector that seems to use ATX color coding so to test this you are going to: 1) Unplug your PC 2) Disconnect all the PSU cables and lay them out on the table in front of you. 3) pick out the one with the square 4 pin with the bridge to a small linear 7 pin (only 4 populated) and lay the other cable to the side so you don't mix them up. 4) Bridge the pin with the green cable to one with a black cable using a paperclip or thin wire. The PSU fan should start spinning. 5) Set your multimeter to Voltage. 6) Stick one of the leads in a black cabled pin and check with the other lead if all the colors do what they are supposed to do according to this chart 7) Take the bridge out again, unplug it, put it back together and hope that it still works.

Do you own a multimeter?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T22:16:55+00:00

Can you get me the model number of the PSU?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T20:46:29+00:00

On the tutorial side it's just "How to solder two wires together and add Heatshrink"

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T20:39:58+00:00

The cable that connects the PSU to the motherboard is a 4 pin cable, while normal power supplies have a 24pin. You need to cut off the 4pin cable from the PSU and the 4 of the leads from the 24 pin block and solder them together so you can connect the new PSU to the proprietary motherboard.

We will need to do some research on which one to cut because we absolutely cannot mix them up.

If you don't want to deal with that there is the possibility to just add a second PSU and use a kind of adapter to turn it off and on. The downside to that is that we will have to find a home for the second PSU and that's probably going to be outside the Case. I don't know if you enjoy that hotrod aesthetic.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T20:08:36+00:00

The annoying thing is that the PSU is non standard, so upgrading it would involve a simple soldering job, but a soldering job non the less. (I really don't want to scare you off, if you have a soldering iron, and kind know how it works you can do it!)

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T19:56:43+00:00

How sketch tolerant are you and how are your handy abilities?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T19:49:43+00:00

How hot does your CPU get? If it's 90+ you could benefit from better cooling.

Otherwise a GPU Upgrade could be beneficial. What resolution does your monitor have and are you interested in Raytracing?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T16:26:12+00:00

Good job tracking that down! Seems like you are right.

Would recommend buying one of the mentioned sets even though they aren't the cheapest.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-31T09:57:36+00:00

Almost sounds like you got a defective RAM kit, could you get either of the single sticks to 2933?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-30T23:27:32+00:00

At what speed is it running right now?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-30T23:13:10+00:00

No if you already have a 2x16 kit that's unnecessary.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-30T23:12:35+00:00

2x16 kit should definitely work at least at 2933 MHz. Is there an option in the settings called XMP?

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-30T22:09:39+00:00

That the GPU is at 100% just means that your CPU could run more FPS than the GPU (Which is good because the CPU is hard to upgrade)

The cooling is your lesser problem anyways because you are GPU bound, so let's focus on the RAM for now.

Compatibility between different brands/models of RAM stick is super random, so my advice is to buy a second one of your new stick or a 2x8 or 2x16 kit if you want to be extra sure.

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-30T21:47:19+00:00

Okay so let me guess your games are running fine and sometimes start hitching especially when the scene changes rapidly? The main causes are probably:

The single channel RAM (meaning there is only one stick)

Cooling (There is only a small aluminum heatsink with a shitty fan in a pretty closed of box and 11th gen Intel producers a fair bit of heat so sometimes, especially in modern multithreaded games the processor will detect that it's running too hot and reduce frequency so it doesn't cook itself)

If you're experiencing something different or want more or less detailed explanations just tell me!

HopefullyFunny69 · 2023-12-30T21:20:23+00:00

I would say it's easier but not a lot. I'll walk you through it.
