I have looked at the earlier AMD offerings and, as I think you have found, felt that apart from initial cost they had no significant benefits over the similar Intel variants and didn't have the same grunt for the power consumption - disadvantages outweigh the advantages really. I have recently got my hands on a 805 G6 with a Ryzen 5 pro 4650GE in it and, for the price I paid, that promises to give more advantages over a similarly priced Intel box ... but that's to be tested.

Let me know how that works out. I grabbed that G3 because I was intrigued with how odd it was and I figured a cheap way to check out an AMD unit.

@Yandarval Месяц назад

Interesting. The CPU has been swapped out. As the 705 G3s have 9 series CPUs officially listed. Top CPU is the AMD PRO A12-9800E with AMD Radeon R7 graphics. You will need a 6th Gen is you want to try a Ryzen. The G3 does not support them.

@GizmoTheGreen Месяц назад

a shame they (seemingly) lock it down to certain cpu's in software, my G4 should be a normal b350 chipset so slapping a 5600(g) in it would be amazing.

@handmedowntech Месяц назад

I doublechecked o HP Partsurfer and product number 1GG27US comes with an A6 but my specific serial number did come with a PRO A10-8770E (8th gen??)

Thanx for the video. Wht do these organizations junk these units?? I thought because of win 11 but I see your one was running it.

@handmedowntech Месяц назад

Lots of companies don't want to keep things past a couple of years - most of these come with 3 year warranties. I've used Windows 11 (and received updates) and G1 to G4 - with my main machine being a G3

@paulwarner5395 Месяц назад

@@handmedowntech Thanx. The last company I worked for kept their stuff until it died.. Same here with win 11 on non supported gear.

I have a 705 G4 with a 2400ge, I got it off ebay and it came with the RX 560 gpu installed, I don't think they knew what they had but I'm a happy camper. about to upgrade to a G5 with a 3400g since I found it "cheap", so why not. (should be able to swap over the gpu and I gain an extra nvme slot)

@handmedowntech Месяц назад

Now that's the kind of eBay purchase I'd like to have. Do you use the GPU for anything?

@GizmoTheGreen Месяц назад

@@handmedowntech I use the system as a bedside computer on my nightstand lol. it's a nice to have for the occasional gaming, minecraft, palworld, dreamligth valley. but mostly I just watch youtube.

Perfect!

I just bought one with a 500gb hdd and an 8gb ram, just for some lightweight gaming

Inside I have one memory plate 8GB DDR4 2133 all ok . I would like to replace it with another memory with a different frequency, for example 2400MHz ,2666MHz ,3200MHz. pc will work better or not?

@handmedowntech Месяц назад

Couple things. How fast the memory can operate is based on the CPU so if the CPU can only handle 2133 then a 3200 is not worth it. For the best performance I'd just get a second 8gb stick so you have 16gb of dual channel memory.

@wonkmisteriuz Месяц назад

test power consumption on amd version please

@handmedowntech Месяц назад

Got about 1.3w at power off and sleep. After logging into windows it was at 38w and on heavy load, 100% it averaged in the 50w range with spikes up to 61.

@wonkmisteriuz Месяц назад

@@handmedowntech It's also high, I've never used the amd version before

Which is your main HP mini PC you use?

@handmedowntech Месяц назад

I use an HP EliteDesk G3 Mini with an i5-7500T, 32GB of Ram and 512GB SATA drive. The top cover is vented and comes from a 65W unit as well as the copper heatsink

@daviddaniel1001 Месяц назад

@@handmedowntech Basically you have a G3 65W, which OS you're running in it? You can put and NVMe in it and a regular i5 7500

@handmedowntech 29 дней назад

Win 11 pro. I've come to like the SATA SSDs because I can move them from unit to unit pretty easily. This same drive was in my G2 65W.

@daviddaniel1001 29 дней назад

@@handmedowntech You have a 65W unit so why you didn't put an i5 7500?

@handmedowntech 29 дней назад

I have a 35w unit and changed out some parts from a 65w unit to get better airflow and cooling. I talk about it in a video comparing the two kinds of heatsinks.
