Just bought the Hp Elitedesk 800 g3 for 78.99 (Including tax) and I feel like I just scammed the seller.. It said it was an i5-6500 but it actually came with the i5-7500, which also bumped up the Integrated graphics from 530 to 630. The i5-7500 in enough in itself is like 50 - 80 bucks.
Great! It’s still a 4c/4t but under $80 for a pc that can do ok in gaming and good for general purpose is a bargain. Sometimes we spend $80-100 dinning out.
@@emmanuelrodriguez1043 Yeah! The i5-7500 is better than the i5-6500 so it should be less of a bottleneck for the RTX 3050. The RAM was only 8 gb (one slot), but I planned on buying new 2x8 drr4 non-ecc ram for it anyway (Like you said in the description ;> ). Once I get the RAM, I'll save for the RTX 3050 Low profile!
Great! The best thing is that whenever you get the chance, with ~$50-$70 you can get an I7-7700 and install it. Mine came originally with an I7-6700. I mentioned it because the performance difference is huge.
Nice, I’m running a similar setup, except I’m using a G4 with a i7 8700 (I’m still searching for a G5 to use my old 9900k) and an RTX4060, I’m using as a home server and occasionally i use it to stream heavy titles to my steam deck!
@@angulo_ Great. I’m about to buy the G4 with the I7-8700 off Amazon. $185, a great deal. And 4060 LP is something I want to get my hands on, I know I need the 8 PIN power cable (115W TDP) but performance is great. Good luck getting the G5
hi im also trying to build a gaming pc with a g4, can you tell me if the pin connector in the motherboard is a 6 or 8 pin as im thinking on putting a 500w flex power supply
@@ltzvk It uses 2x4pin one for the MoBo and the other for the CPU, Additional it has a connector labeled "P2", this connector carries the signal to turn on the PSU, PSU status and PSU fan. If the MoBo doesn't detect a fan in the PSU it will fail to boot.
I have an EliteDesk 800 SFF G4 with an i7-8700 as my secondary PC with an A380 low profile and a capture card. It fits two 3.5in HDDs (which was my main concern cause I wanted a large mirrored storage) but still room for a 2.5in sata ssd for cache and the nvmes for OS and programs. I have proxmox on mine but all the OS I have tried other than win11 work with no problem and I got a work around for win11 too and then didn't need it 😂. Only thing I'd consider buying instead right now is an HP Z1 G5 for a good price with an i9-9700 or 9900 cause it has four full size slots but they rarely sell for great prices
Cool! I was looking at those, 800 G4, also HP Z2 MINI G9 and Dell precision compact 3240 and 3260. But very expensive, compared to the 800 G3/G4. Also Nuc Extreme 9, Just trying to put together something very small and descent power. Nuc 12 Enthusiast is cool too. Anyways, Z1 G5 is usually around $400-600 depending on the configuration. Try looking at prices daily on Ebay and Amazon. Also OfferUp and FB Marketplace.
I’ll be building a MINI ITX INSIDE A Powermac G4 ( I love tiny powerful PC’s) but some Large PC’s that look different from everything else, is a good way to go for me too. Outside of the “normal”
this card work on hp elitedesk 705 g4 MT processor: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G with Radeon Vega 11 Graphics 3.60 GHz the question is this card can work on my computer? any one help
@@brayanhamaro5514 Yes but I'd make sure I have 400w PSU and not yhe 200-ish watt one. Also, if you mostly game you need resizeable bar and I don't know what generation that's active for AMD but I'm think Zen 1 chips should have it.
@@brayanhamaro5514 Hi, Yea it will, it has a PCIE x16 Slot. And your processor performance is similar to I7-6700 (4c/8t) and it comes out of the box with the full size bracket so, for your case, it’s just plug and play basically ( Install drivers and enjoy) your pc can handle up to a 75W card.
great video, i would expect i would have to remove that tab also with a 800 G2, which has the i7 6700. I was looking at the RTX6050 6gb also, or the GTX1650 but it seems to not rank as well. I currently have one pci slot for my wifi adapter, not sure the G2 can fit a wifi card, like the G3. I like the mod you did for the antenna
Cool! Thanks. I7-6700 is what it had originally. Idk about the MINI WIFI PCI ON THE G2, but if one on the x4 pcie works for you, I would stick to that, and the x16 lanes pcie for the graphics. RTX3050 is powerful and modern for it’s size! Enjoy your PC. Thanks for watching.
Hey the 705 is a tiny pc not a SFF, it doesn’t take any discrete GPU. And btw, you only need 70W FOR THE RTX 3050 LP 6GB. With the stock power supply should be ok. Mine has 180W and totally ok.
@@1mr12 Wait 🛑 ✋. Your computer doesn’t take any descrete graphics card. You won’t be able to put any card in it. Sell it if you can and get an 800 g3 or 800 g4. 705 is smaller than a PS4 or around the same size. And it doesn’t have the port to install any graphics card. The PCIe port. Sorry, but try to get a SFF pc, not a mini, micro ir tiny pc. SFF Small Form Factor.
Hey, there are different 705 sizes like the 800 series. 705 just means it has an AMD CPU/APU not Intel, I have the 705 G4 SFF (exact same size and ports etc as yours, just a Ryzen 2400G). Same 180W PSU so I think a 3050 LP should also work fine, will pick one up soon. The peak power draw I see for the 2400G online is around 70W. Great video, thanks!
@@gregadams9125 You don’t need it. That’s the “recommended” but mine is only 180W and my card has a higher TDP than the rx550 and runs fine. Make sure your card is a low profile, just connect it, install the drivers and good to go.
Maybe this was already mentioned, but you can fit the Gigabyte model, you will need to cut a little bit of the metal in the right side though but doesn't seem to be a bad modification to fit the card. A video by an user called "Eta Prime" shows this. Either way, I think this combo is pretty nice to get started, we basically get around Xbox Series S results, if not a little better (for one we don't have to deal with paid online, more controller options, etc)
@@radiantansel202 Great observation, and yes. Some RTX3050 LP cards are slightly longer and won’t fit without modification. I mentioned it on the description and a comment. But great observation 👍🏼

I have been thinking in making a little LAN station with 4 PCs because some of my games allow me to do so, alongside with the many other games I can play around with friends (mostly fighting games) Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 are the reason I'm considering dropping a little bit more money on the RTX 3050 over a GTX 1650 (DLSS comes in handy a lot) Thanks for the video! and yes, just wanted to add that observation from your description. It would fit, but you would have to do modifications
@@radiantansel202 You are welcome! That’s awesome. The MSI VERSION Fits, just need to remove a little HDD holder, a metal piece. Look at the timeline of the video and it will show you where I mentioned it. I don’t remember where exactly, I have to look it up. And I like street fighter and Mortal Kombat tbh. I used a PS4 I got a long time ago and play with some friends, once in a blue moon. I’m suscribed to his channel but haven’t seen him posting a lot lately. I love ETA prime, it’s funny how I got the 800 G3 long time ago but was switching jobs etc, and I couldn’t upload that often and the 3050 6GB LP was released recently so… But i love helping people out.

As long as the power supply can handle the GPU, I would look to get an I7 6700. That would give much better performance. I had an old dell workstation with a Xeon E3-1245 v5 and an RX 5600(non-XT), and I got really good results either playing games like GTA IV and V, plus Apex Legends, as well as rendering.
Oh yes, It had an I7-6700 I took it out to build a custom PC that’s on my channel too. My friend needed one and I sold it to him and I’ll build something new with the 5700G, I was thinking about the 8700G to make videos and build a tiny ITX with a case I bought a while ago and use the integrated graphics, then make videos and compare it to the RTX3050. Maybe I’ll go AM4 but the G series AMD are Gen 3 not Gen 4, AM5 G series support Gen 4/5.
@@shivamhadimani2264 I believe, it only supports single slot graphics card and the T version of Intel Processors is a cut down version of the regular desktop CPU, they use less wattage but also performance is a bit less, depending on the processor.
Your Vid is exactly what I was looking for! I have this HP Elitedesk 800 G3 with an I-7 6700 and 32 gb of RAM. I was looking to upgrade it with a GPU but since it has WIFI through a mini PCI card in the last slot I'm afrain I cannot use the RTX 3050, I was looking at the RX 6400 so it doesn't take that much space. What would you recomend me?

Hey mate, pretty good video i was wondering if i can put the rtx 3050 lp into an hp prodesk 400 g3 sff with pci close to the psu, i m a student and i dont wanna spend money on something if it wont fit so please let me know. Thank you in advence
@@lyesmoukkes26 Thanks. And to be honest, it won’t fit. You need a single slot like the RX6400 4GB LP SINGLE SLOT, but it will run a little hot, because it’s way too close to the PSU :/.
Hey mate, nice vid! I just bought an optiplex 7060sff (I tough it was an MT, but it ended up being a SFF, the seller got the title wrong), My plan was to throw in a GTX 1650 LP there, but I saw that the 3050LP got some crazy performance for his price, and that says a lot for a low profile gpu, do you think that the 3050 would fit within the 7060sff case?
Hey what’s up! Wow, that’s messed up from them, and tbh, the only cards that will fit there are single slot low profile like the AMD RX6400 4GB (single slot) and Intel ARC A310 4GB (single slot) there are dual slot cards, like the RTX3050, GTX1650, ARC A380 LP., These won’t fit because the PCIE X16 Slot, is very close to the PSU, and there’s another X4 PCIE Slot which won’t hold any graphics card at all. Try to return it or sell it online and get the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G4 with at least an I7-6700, I7-7700, I7-8700 or I5-8500 or I5-9500 and up. Or a Dell, HP OR IBM/Lenovo Midtower If you don’t care about the PC SIZE. Good luck and sorry that you have to go through that situation now.
The CPU is only a 65W TDP AND THE RTX3050 6GB LP uses a max of 70W TDP. 135Watts and a bit more usage from the MB, RAM, FANS AND Peripherals. It won’t exceed the 180W PSU TDP tbh.
@@ahmaddchadd Only 65W, 6700,7700,6500,7500, and a lot more powerful modern ones too. The K versions go from 75-200 plus watts TDP. Depending on the processor type etc.
Make sure no cables are near the panels inside, they won’t let it close, and this case uses an screw in the back of it. It will make it close completely. Make sure the lid is sitting well connected the case!
@@makemoneyben If the has space to add the graphics card, yes, but keep in mind that the 7400T performance is 16% slower than the i5-6500 in single and multicore. Tbh it’s better to get something faster than the 6500. Games are getting heavier as we talk… Good luck with your setup.
Hi! i have a HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF, its pci express 3.0, i'm wondering if the msi video card is worth it since it won't be running at full power 4.0?
@@rodcal3 Hi! Using a card that doesn’t put out huge performance numbers like a 3080, 4070 or more powerful, it’s ok to run on PCI GEN 3. Not a lot of performance is lost. Maybe a couple of FPS on certain games. RTX3050 LP 6GB uses 8 lanes out of the 16 on the pci slot. The bandwidth it puts out is not extreme, so running at 8x3 instead of 8x4 is totally fine. A little loss in performance. The RX6400 uses only 4 lanes out of the 16, so 4x3 is significantly less bandwidth than 4x4 or even 8x3. But, again, the performance that these low end cards put out, it can be handled fine on PCIe Gen 3.
Hello, I recently purchased a reconditioned HP EliteDesk 705 G2 SFF with the following features: - Windows 10 - AMD PRO A8-8650B CPU with integrated R7 graphics card - RAM : 8 GB 1333mhz Power supply : 200 WATT I saw that your PC has a 180W power supply, did you have no problem adding the rtx 3050? Mine is 200watt can I safely add it? I honestly don't feel like changing the power supply on this PC. Thanks!
@@_peppedegiorgio_ You won’t have any issues adding the 6GB LP 3050. The only thing is that the A8-8650B has 30% less performance in single core than the I5-6500 and 42% less performance in multicore. Also RAM speed won’t help much neither :/. What games are you trying to play? Maybe get a cheaper card for now and less performance card too, because the bottleneck will be huge, unless you want to keep the card and then upgrade to another PC later on. There’s bottleneck even with the i5-6500 in some games, the i7-6700 and up is way better as I mentioned in this video. Lmk what games are you trying to play.
@@emmanuelrodriguez1043 Thanks for but answer, if I add a GTX 1050 instead of RTX 3050 always low profile? RAM I need to upgrade it these days.. anyway the games are CSGO and Rainbox Six Siege etc.
@@_peppedegiorgio_ ahhh those games will be ok, valorant etc! Fortnite in performance mode needs at least a 6 core processor nowadays to run smooth. Maybe play in dx12 and in other games, lock the FPS to 60. It will help. A 1050 should be good but if the price is very close to the 3050, get the 3050. Good luck with your purchase.

@@XMproYT Great, he will do the job. And it’s still very capable. it’s just lately all the games getting updates are getting heavier to run. For the average use this processor is very capable.

@@XMproYT To be honest, I like playing Fortnite and noticed that even with the RTX 3050, every time there is an update, It takes a little while to load the first time. Sometimes you will be getting off the bus late. It will stay connecting for a little longer. Overwatch was fine. PUBG low settings was fine. If you get a 4GB card, get the rx6400. ARC is cheap, but unless you pair it to a 10 gen or newer intel CPU, or Ryzen 4000 series or newer, you won’t be able to enable ReBar, and ARC depends on it a lot. RX550 is cheaper than RX6400, so maybe get that one instead and get an i7-6700. With $150 you can get the 6700 and the RX 550 or you can still get the ARC but AMD is the way to go with low end devices. Price to performance. I5-6500 usage is always around 80-100%.
Great video 👍 I have the 800 G4, i7 8700. I have a 100 usd limit for a graphics card. Can i use the rx550? And if so, do i need to use the low profile version or can the regular fit just fine. Thanks.
@@kammyyx Mine came with a USB BLUETOOTH AND WIFI 🛜 ADAPTER, but it was a very cheap and slow one, I installed one wifi card on the pci wifi adapter inside the PC And Antennas.
@@kammyyx Yes, but performance is very limited because of the lack of ReBar with that chipset. Intel 10 Gen or newer processors support it, some manufacturers enable it on 8 and 9 gen as well. AMD, has to be 4000 series or newer processors.

Cool, but wait, RTX1080? RTX started with the 20 series and newer GPUs. Like RTX2070 RTX2080 etc, meaning they have Raytracing abilities, 1080 is GTX 1080 and it’s a big card, unless you got a full size Elitedesk. Not an sff like mine. I7-7700 is very capable…

The processor is an 2X Intel Xeon E5620 with 8GB DDR3 RAM (I can increase it to 16GB if | want). Thanks
@@Lollo-pt1cm It pulls around 130 Watts so there shouldn’t be any problems. The processor uses around 80 Watts, but tbh, the bottleneck will be insane. I checked the specs of it, and it’s a bit low on performance for the card.
@@emmanuelrodriguez1043 It has two processors...I would not want it to exceed the power...because a single Xeon E5620 needs at least 300watt PSU, let alone 2 processors !!!
Thanks to your channel I think I will buy this card. I have a Huawei Matestation S with a Ryzen 5 4600G, 16 GB of DDR4 Ram 3200, M2 SSD, PCI 3.0 and a 300W PSU. You think I will be able to play 1080p 60FPS in high setting to games like RDR2 and Horizon Zero Down? I mostly care about quality over FPS. And please make more gameplay videos
I like that little PC, it cane out a few years ago. Tbh, a mix of Medium and High with your PC AND THE RTX3050 is what you can set to run games like RDR2 and HORIZON Z D. At least I know you can enable Resizable Bar that should help a little but and also that processor is still very capable. If you go high on the settings, you won’t hit 60 FPS so easy, I know those are not E-sports games, but tbh, I feel like 60 FPS is the sweet spot for a lot of those games to feel smooth. I like Fortnite a lot (something I never thought of liking before) and I like using epic settings because I love great visuals, and the RTX 3050 barely hits 60 FPS like that. I think using PCIE gen 3 and being bottlenecked by the i6-6500 is the reason why it won’t hit 60 almost all the time, but maybe with a faster processor, Resizable Bar enabled and PCIE Gen 4 I can hit 60. I don’t play it in a very competitive way. I will try FORZA HORIZON 5 and more games eventually.
@@emmanuelrodriguez1043 thank you so much for taking the time for this reply. A really useful one 👌. I think my bottleneck may be only in the PCI 3, so I’ll comment later this year with my experience when I get it. ✌🏻
@@danielsierra3836 You are welcome. Enjoy that PC when you get it. And tbh, like your processor is way better than the i5-6500 in this video, bottleneck won’t be a thing, just , PCIE gen 3 will make you loose a few FPS, not a lot, the bandwidth needed in between your CPU AND THE RTX3050 is manageable on PCIE gen 3x8 which is what this card runs at, gen 4x8 is the ideal, but you will be ok. RX6400 single slot LP uses gen 4x4 but going gen 3x4 it gets affected way more. Good luck with your build.
How would an HP Elitedesk 800 g2 SFF fair against the RTX 3050 LP? With a standard i5-6500 CPU that would be 65 Watts (If I'm not mistaken), and the RTX 3050 LP is 70 Watts, so that would be 135 watts. I think the HP Elitedesk 800 g2 SFF has the power supply of 200, 280, or 400. SO it seems like it could handle one, what do you think?
Yes, mine has 180w and is enough. But the i5-6500 will make it bottleneck because it’s not powerful enough to handle the cards performance. Look at my video playing fortnite in high settings, the processor is at 100% usage while the card is only using 60-80%.
@@emmanuelrodriguez1043 So for a g3 you could get a i7-7700K while a g2 can only get a i7-6700k? Would probably still be bottlenecked with the 6700k, especially with CPU-intensive tasks, but the 7700k would probably work for the 3050 right? You would probably need a better power supply though...
Only just now realized in the description of your Fortnite video, you say the 6700 or 7700 makes it way better lol. And both those CPUs use the same amount of watts as the i5-6500? So you wouldn't really need to replace the heatsink?
@@OPMayo_VR Yes, I had the 6700 and it was good, i just took it out for another build. Non K, the K versions of those CPU’s use 95W and even more while overclocked. So 6700 is hood for you and 4c/8t way better than i5-6500.
The power supply in those machines are so crap. Its just not worth getting this pc because the motherboard dont take the standard psu and power inputs so it cost more money to replace either the motherboard or psu on those. I just returned it because its not worth modifying the standard psu to work with the motherboard. An i5 8th or 9th gen cost like 50-60, and a motherboard cost like 40-50. If you want it cheaper, a i5 6th gen cost 40 and motherboard 40. Just get a cheap case, fan and ram
I understand, 180W is enough if you don’t go with any K CPU. I got this one with the I7-6700 16GB RAM AND 1TB SSD, for $173 but took the I7 out to build something different. There’s a version with 8th and 9th Gen CPU’s for ~200-250 used!
