HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF - Teardown and Upgrade 

This is literally the video that I've been looking for, thanks a lot

i just want to say, this guy tore down this PC absolutely amazingly.

Picked one up for $40 usd with 2 monitors and a gaming mouse. I don't think I'll ever find another deal this good in my lifetime.

Thank you I really needed this. I'm planning to buy a computer of this type and I wanted to add a new HDD to it and now I know it will go in.

great video ! .. Those HP's are very good value for money too if you want a general purpose PC

Good job you doing there 👍🏻

Thanks. This video helped me a lot.

Great video dude thank you

Thanks for the video. Very good pc’s for emulating video games. I want to add a little more memory to mine though it goes quick.

Excellent work.

Awesome man! Thank you 😁

Thank you. This video helps me.

great review and teardown. i have the same unit but no ssd. where can I get the mounting screws for the ssd under the hard drive?

Great Job!

Thank you. This is the video I was looking for. Can you please suggest the max RAM and what Graphics Card can we have for this?

wondering if there is room to add a second hard driver under the first, under the casing.

this is amazing, thank you for making this -- i needed to learn how to disassemble this so I can repaint the case (turning this into a hand-me-down for my 8yo daughter, who loves pink)

Thank you, very helpful. I bought two HP Elite Desk 800 G1 SFF, for my household.

does this bios version that I have is L01 V02.78, does it have the ability to have TPM 2.0? and how about secure boot? Amazing how you tore down this desktop. Thanks

Thank you for the video. Can I use PC3 DDR3 1600Mhz 8G Ram one pcs?

I have this exact same system. I took my upgrade a bit further. 32 GB memory, 4790 CPU, delete DVD and HDD. This BIOS does not support NVMe boot device natively but I installed a PCI-e NVMe adapter and a 1TB NVMe drive. I was able to add NVMe boot support via the method presented in several more recent YT videos. The key was the Service Mode jumper near the white PCI-e slot. The jumper enables writing to the BIOS and when finished removing the jumper again makes the BIOS read only. Making this mod also enables booting in UEFI mode for the NVMe eventhough the BIOS is not fully NVMe. For a basic office PC it is pretty fast on Windows 10 Pro. It won't need to go in the landfill for quite some time.

I have EliteDesk 800 G1 what should be the max CPU i could replace to it ? I plan to edit video using premiere pro. any recommendation please?

Need to find a cpu cooler for this. Any suggestion!! Is there a generic specification that I can use. Thanks

Superb

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO TO CONNECT THE 22-IN-1 MEDIA CARD TO THE ELITEDESK 800 G1?

Literally the PC I have right now and upgraded for gaming

thanks, I'm currently working on upgrading a similar one (though more recent, it's the 800 G2 SFF, with a 6th gen i5 and DDR4 RAM). Too bad you didn't add a GPU though, that's challenging since the back panel has some annoying metal bars that I'm gonna need to remove if I want to fit my low profile GPU.

Salut je voulais savoir si il y avait moyen de mettre un boîtier gamer le MC-X7 merci pour ta vidéo

What size of dvd rom? Because i want to change to ssd caddy.. Thx

I want to know if hp compaq pro 6200 sff can use i7 4790 cpu.

Thank you for the video. HP's layout sure makes it easy to work on that PC. I'll definitively consider this model myself. 👍 BTW: what did you end up using to mount the SSD?

hello is it possible to upgrade one of these to an aftermarket motherboard? as long as it is the right size do you think the pins will all be compatible? i know these have a proprietary connector for the power supply but not sure about the others

I have the same PC. I am facing one problem! Doesn't organize long cable USB 10 meters or even 5 meters. I heard because there is not enough power to read them in long USB cable. But I have weak laptop and still reads them like a charm but this HP elitedesk doesn't 😔

Hi how much is your ram frequency is it 2 1600mhz of ram because on the bios setting of elitedesk 800 g1 sff there's no overclocking option(im not sure if there is overclocking) but does it automatically detect your 2 1600 mhz of ram or it will stick to it's default ram speed (example: my old ram speed is 1333mhz but cpu z numbers says it's 2 665mhz so it sums up) thanks for your answer friend.

i have the 800 G2 sff with 200w psu, the rear 4x 3.0 USB are acting up, i use one for an external HDD with its own ps and a usb wifi dongle and it wont connect or connects but has hard time with little speed its an RTL8811AU and it works fine on the front ports 2.0 or 3.0 but the rear 3.0 it has issues why? i checked the bios settings and all seems okay set to default settings. anyone else have similar issues ?

Can I use 2 hdd and 1 ssd on this hp model?

What kind of graphics card can we use?

Great Video, Thanks for sharing! I have the same model, can I install a WIFI adaptor in this PC, or have to choose a USB wifi?

Seem to be the PSU custom as well, so is it possible to use normal size psu in case has psu problem, the psu connector also look different than normal psu?

what type of power supply is that one ?

Hi I wanted to know for the Hyperx ram was it DDR3 or DDR4 just wondering which one you used?

Dear write which processor should I buy hp prodesk 600 g1 twr motherboard 18e7 processor 4130 I want to install Intel Core i7-4770 or Intel E3-1240 V3 sorry google transmitter

How's the airflow?

Would you happen to know where the p12 cord goes the pc won’t turn on for me and that is the only thing unplugged

Pretty good video. The only thing I would add is changing the CR2032 CMOS battery while you have the motherboard out.

hey man i have the same computer as you but i have a problem with my cpu fan staying on every time i push the button to turn it on the fan starts spinning then immediately turns of and keeps doing it till you unplug it any suggestions please.❤

Question, I have that same HP 800G1, I am going to install a Geforce GTX1650, I know the power comes from the PCI-E rail thru this 240 watt power supply. Nividia recommends at least 300 watt power supply. Will the GPU still work and will it work properly? If I upgrade the PSU, the watt at the rail would not increase anyway right?

Hi, what are the ram and SSD references? Any link? Thank you.

does xeon 1271 v3 work ?

below the 3.5 driver support has a 2.5 support. I could take the screws left over from one of the 3.5 drivers and fix it on this bracket

Will the M.2 fit in this PC ? also a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 video card ?

hello , i have a same model but when i start my pc i cannot get any screen. windows 11 already installed. i dont know what is the reason. can you help me ?

Thanks to you sir, like (y)

I didn't think it would be near as powerful, at least until I saw usb3)! Also, I hear you can put an nvme drive into Pci-E with an adaptor and make it bootable with a bootloader that has nvme drivers.

Greetings, I have a question. When I added an Nvidia Quadro video card, it does not show me the boot options. When I want to enter the BIOS or flash disk, the Windows screen appears directly to me. Is it possible to help? Thank you.

Mine is a prodesk but in the bios it says elitedesk does any1 know why

How did you manage to mount the SSD finally?

Good Morning I have a machine of the same model. Please I would like a tip I want to run games on it and for that I need a video card. In this case which one would be compatible with this machine model. thanks for your video. BRASIL

I just transferred my HP Elitedesk 800 G1 to an old HP Pavilion case, added a gtx 1650 and I'm playing Forespoken right now. Extra things I had to do: 1.) Remove the power switch and lights from the front cover button, insert into the from cover of the Pavilion. 2.) To use my Elite desk cooling fan, I had to find some nuts that fit on the bolts in the fan too attach it to the mother board. The Elit desk mother does not have built in nuts. The fan bolts into the case. It ain't pretty but works like a champ.

How do I remove the back panel where the io shield

Could you tell me antyhing about the work-culture of this device, please? I wanna know if it isn't too noisy to comfortable use.

Learned some new stuff thanks my guy !! well if u can get me know with what is the difference in 2 ram challens and 2 ram slots i know like 4 slots in 2 challens but why not in 1 challen only or on 4 seperate challens ?

Hello I’m currently trying to upgrade my pc case and I wanted to know what mm the motherboard is so I don’t get the wrong Pc case.

If I wanted to change the processor to an i7, could it be done?

i want to ask a question, im no stranger to taking apart computers but i always forget where which cable goes

Can i remove the disk Reader and install another disk?

I want to run windows on an SSD. Is the Hard Disk Required?

what was the upgraded cpu you used

What do 3 beeps mean when plugged into the power?

which ram stick are they?

What is that cpu looking square on the left side of the sata

I have the same one I put a 4790k in it 16g of ram a500watt power supply and a 1050ti and put the motherboard into a bigger case and it works great

I have 4 beeps with mine?

Can this PC be expanded to 16GB of RAM? Can you put an integrated graphics card like the GeForce GT630?

every vid on this G1 upgrade, the host forgets to DC the speaker/MB connector......at first NOTE, if you case swap, a 2 slot GPU will cover front panel USB 3.0 port, 2+ and sata gets tight too.

you have to enable uefi boot not legacy to get your usb drive to boot into installing windows

Now i am facing a error FRONT USB 1 AND 2 NOT CONNECTED😢😢

Making 5 beeps and does not boot. Been researching and it made me think the motherboard might have a problem. Do you agree? BTW, this was most helpful video I came to in terms of working on pc as a novice. Thank you so much for your kind work!!!

Hi yes. Does this computer support 1333mhz ram? Although the cpus supported for the computer all support the ram but I've never seen anyone try it before

when do use coms press in matherbored

Hey I need your help I have a mac pro 5,1 and its stuck in target mode disk I cant reset neither do anything do you know how to fix ?

Good video but for anyone watching you can do all these upgrades without taking it completely apart

What type of RAM did you use?

would these play beam ng drive effectively?

Can i put in a bigger powersupply?

Can it fit i5 6500?

Is it HDMI compatible?

Hello,would i be able to upgrade graphics to GTX 550 ti ddr5 (hp 800 g1)

How about the cpu thermal paste? Base on your video you didn't put one.

This must be cooler temperature than the Dell optiplex Sff

where tf is the graphics card

You shouldn't touch the CPU after cleaning it, you don't want that skin oil all over it ;)

cpu made in VIETNAM

OMG the hard drive bays on these are absoltue aweful. I don't know how you can scr33w up a 5.25 and a 3" drive bay but HP found a way. You can forget the traditional mounting via 4 side or bottom screws.There is no way to mount either drive in here without them flopping around. I finally just shoved a drive in there floating around and used foam to keep it from rattling. And opening the case was infuriating as well. Instead of two screws on the back, there is a handle you have to pull up and yank on the top cover of the case. WTF. seriously. WTF HP. PC techs do not appreciate change. Or non proprietary connectors. I would say, avoid these machines, even if theyseem like great buys. You can't put a ful height GPU in them, and the power supply is propreitary and only 250 watt. They are not as awful as Dells or Macs, but they are not much better either.

Can you add a graphics card?
