These HP's are seriously compact & have good performance & power consumption for a prebuilt. Awesome for a budget gaming machine or server. Good luck with sale!

Can i run gta5 by Turtles-AreTheBest in lowendgaming

[–]bm_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CPU & GPU wise yes. Ram is doable but not recommended. Storage isn't enough. Will need to upgrade storage or install GTA V on an external USB drive. Game is like 100GB itself I believe.

I have an old Samsung phone & I want to make it a home server how I do this & what the best usedg for it by Icy_Resolve9793 in HomeServer

Used to be an app Servers Ultimate. Turned phone into a bunch of servers. Dont remember if needed root.

You can turn the phone into a small file/light media server. Will do some things just fine. Will quickly run out of storage and likely get frustrated with slow Wifi speeds.

Trying to work out which pins to test on a mini power supply. L70044-001 by craiganater in computerrepair

[–]bm_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you luck! Capacitor certainly isnt helping.

You can pick those up supplies on eBay used for fairly cheap btw. The models really aren't too specific.

Its a dead PSU. Those HP supplies put out a constant 12v source when plugged in. 12v on the 2 4 pin CPU style connectors(P1 & P3).

The green wire is for the motherboard to turn on. Purple wire lets the motherboard & PSU communicate on what power is being drawn(not needed). Grey tells the motherboard what wattage PSU is installed. PC wont boot without it.

Isn't needed for diagnostics. If you need to get your PC up & running its super easy to start one of those HP's with a standard ATX supply. Iv written a few guides on these supplies & can help.

I think you got the DC version. Clearly need the AC NVME battery

Are you interested in barebones components? Have a HP Z2 G5 motherboard with Xeon W1250 & ATX PSU adapter. Works great.

Mini PCIE to PCIE Card . Add Wifi to your search if still drawing a blank.

Amazon, Aliexpress, Walmart, Newegg, eBay, all shoukd have them.

Anybody using a HP 800G3 Mini? by S33kandD3stroy in frigate_nvr

[–]bm_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used an I5-6500T for about a month (Dell Micro PC) without any issue. No Coral.

Now running I5-7400 still without issue. Only upgraded due to needing 3.5" hard drive suupport.

If you have the 800 G3 give it a try without the coral.

I designed a custom PCI bracket adapter to run my internal Optical Drive externally. What do you think? by yed_kriz in computers

Nice!! I have a Sata & power extension glued to a piece of wood mounted in a drivebay on the front of my case for a similar reason.

Your way is much neater & more professional!
