The cable for the 2nd non-existent hard drive is for power, not data. There is an unused SATA slot on the board. If I am reading that right. You will need another SATA cable, not a Y cable.
I've been meaning to upgrade the ram on my PC which is this particular model, a Pavilion, thanks! This video helped alot on how to handle taking it apart
I'm getting ready to add a SSD drive to my older HP Tower. It is so much easier to access the interior spaces than this newer tower, the differences are amazing.
8:45 I used that PCIe port for Inateck Superspeed 7 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card. (I powered it by 6 pin power cable that comes out power supply, I had to get cable, 6 pin Female to 6 Pin Female. AND only then 6 pin male to SATA POWER female) There's 2nd Data Sata port for hard drive right next to 1st one. It's bottom right from ram sticks There's a lot of configurations of HP590. Some 4 core, some 6 and some 8... Overall I like mine, maybe because it has i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz, plus 128G SSD, plus 1T HDD, plus some card that can run 2 monitors for office use. BUT I had to pay $700.
I was able to find 6 pin female to 6 pin female cable. Then I attached 6 pin male to SATA power to power my 2nd SSD. I could not find 6 pin F to 6 pin F on amazon. only on ebay. (NOT 6 pin mini)
Thanks for the video btw. That helped me in getting to the memory slots. Of course you can't adjust any of the timings or speed in the BIOS thanks HP! The good news. You can run a Quadro P2200 graphics card with such a weedy pathetic power supply. I am amazed really. Just as well the single slot cards don't require the extra power connector. BTW anyone else reading the system I have here is the AMD Ryzen version whereas the one in the video is the Intel.
6:04 Cable you touching is for optic drive. There's SATA power cable that is available for extra hard drive. You need to buy SATA data cable. Problem I have is how to secure backup 2.5 SSD on available space below?
I put a second stick of Ram in mine and a low profile 1050ti. Doesn't even need a power cord. I'm probably gonna use the cable from the DVD drive to power an SSD
You can take the motherboard along with the motherboard manual and look at the motherboard cables to see where they connect to your case (and power supply) to see if the transfer is possible.
Hey Ron, or any viewer reading this comment. Can you tell me the screwdriver you had used to get that rack open at 5:12? I had used a pointy head which worked just fine around the edges but I was having a problem with the middle screws.
I have 3 ideas. 1) You can leave the door off the case (cheapest method). 2) You can buy a replacement ATX side door (I'm not sure what it's really called) on eBay that has a lot more holes in it (but may not be compatible as far as the connection to the case). 3) You can buy more case fans (but your power supply may not have enough power connections so you may need Y power splitters to make more power connections).
This is probably a person that knows nothing about computers but I'd reckon you could get a drill and take the cover and make a grill pattern of drill hole over hottest part
Sorry for the late reply. Please watch my other video. It is titlted, "Video Card Fit for HP Pavilion 590-p0057c". As for the power supply, I would just try to use your existing one since the case is probably proprietary and to buy a new PS would probably have to come from HP. Try your current PS and see if your computer can handle the new video card as is before trying to seek a replacement. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6GTapzY1L3w.html
According to this link on the motherboard, support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05991291 "Supports up to 32 GB (with two 16 GB modules) and 16 GB (with two 8 GB modules) on 64-bit computers". And yes, you can use the GTX 1050 although you may need to swap out the power supply.
i am thinking of adding a 1080 ti to this computer. i heard it will work with this motherboard, as it has a pci x16. is that true? i also need to upgrade the power supply, is it upgradeable? or will i have to get a new case. thanks
I looked at the specs for both your video card and the motherboard. EVGA GTX 1080 Ti www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/evga-gtx-1080-ti.b4732 Bus Interface PCIe 3.0 x16 HP Pavilion 590-p0057c Desktop PC support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05999904#:~:text=HP%20Pavilion%20590-p0057c%20Desktop%20PC%20Product%20Specifications%201,8%20CD%2FDVD%20disc%20drive%20DVD%20Writer%20More%20items Motherboard: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05991291 One PCIe x16 socket It looks like it should be compatible. As we both know, the power supply is more important than the stock HP case. I'd say go ahead and buy the power supply (PS). You'll know the HP case is proprietary when the screw holes of the PS don't line up w/ the screw holes in the case. Either way, can you reply back here when you find out if the case is proprietary or not? I suspect that it is but I don't know for sure.
Take a look at this image: www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=dhO65TZ6&id=59592BE0BC4C8674560C7EA7618B7F54A1D63DBF&thid=OIP.dhO65TZ6kRaBI9QgfQAKsQHaDu&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fgraphicscardhub.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2018%2f05%2fpcie-x16-slot.jpg&exph=325&expw=647&q=picture+video+card+pcie+slot&simid=608052229614340326&ck=7AC4537B4EF861ED05D7050F8FC8D3A5&selectedIndex=49&FORM=IRPRST&ajaxhist=0 You just insert your graphics card adapter from above (assuming your motherboard is lying flat). You want the back of the video card (with all the connectors) pointing out of the back of your case. You can use any screws that will fit (try any you can find). It's not necessary if you can't find any screws to fit.
I looked up the specs for your machine. It's a go. If you are getting an M.2 SSD, make sure it fits into one of these interfaces: One M.2 socket 1, key A One M.2 socket 3, key M support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c05941145
You will need both brackets and a data cable. Nothing extra is provided. You can look up the bracket part numbers at support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c05999904 and then buy them somewhere else. HP sells them pretty expensively.
@@RonAblang I added a western digital blue m.2 ssd 1tb version and a Samsung 2666 ddr4 8x1 ram module, I really struggled with the ssd because my screw driver wasn't magnetic and it was really hard to screw the tiny m.2 screw so I watched this video and it helped me, after that I was really impresed that just by taking out the dvd drive you can take out that black thing that makes everything to be harder, thanks for making this video!
@@RonAblang I have the same pc just that mines is a gray version and it has a ryzen 3 2200g with vega 8 graphics, it came with a 1tb hhd and a 8gb single channel module so I just got the ssd and more ram and now it can handle fortnite and pubg perfectly
You're welcome. I figured out a long time ago that anything that isn't welded but yet held together by screws (of some sort) can be taken apart for disassembly. I got a lot of practice years ago by taking apart obsolete desktop and laptop computers (to figure out upgrade options). When something is used (and old) you don't fret so much about possibly breaking something.
@@RonAblang True, I studied a lot about PC parts, specially about my computer, I've opened it a lot to see some upgrade options, it tooked me a whole week finding the right parts because I didn't wanted mess it up and after a lot of hours researching parts I found the right ones, also I'm 13 years old so yeah I couldnt figure out how to take out the black thing so I watched this video, I'm really impresed how they did it that just by taking out the dvd drive you can open the whole thing up, it made muuuuucchhhhhh easier to upgrade it so yeah thank you again 4 making this video
how many watts is that psu because i got one that has 180 but i need to find out that has at least 300 for that size because i cant put a gpu in with out it going over the 180 mark for a gpu
Supposedly, the PSU is a 310W power supply unit. If you (or anyone else reading this) wants to see the PSU sticker (which has all kinds of specs on it) in the form of a picture, just click this link: imgbox.com/GbXF0lyb
Hello Ron, may I ask if convenient to tell me the PSU Model number? I might buy one of these but want to make sure I can get a spare PSU. I can't find an ATX adaptor cable.
Sorry for the late reply. I had to find at least another reason to open up my case to look. The power supply is HP PCG007. If you decide to research it, please reply back as to where you found the best place to buy it, the price, and whether or not other models could fit in this spot.
It says on google that a GTX 1060 6GB Card only consumes 120watts of power. Is that true and if that's the case, Does that mean my 180watt psu should be good right?
Not exactly. You have to account for all the other components in a computer system. Try this link on for size: www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/
Sorry for the late reply. Yes of course you can upgrade both. The power supply should be ATX format. Just make sure the screw holes line up w/ the ones in your case. If it doesn't that means you need a proprietary power supply from HP. With the video card, just make sure it has an interface that matches the spec listed in the motherboard. Here are your machine specs: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05999917
I'm sure this is way late, but I have the single fan version of that card in mine and it fit great. Installation was a breeze. Mine doesn't even need a power cord, it gets it's power from the PCIE slot
This is a link to the motherboard manual: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05991291 Once there, click the + symbol in front of "Processor upgrade information" to see what other CPUs can be used to upgrade it with. I'm pretty sure that means the CPU is not soldered. Sometimes it's just RAM that is soldered, not CPUs. Anyways, from that information it appears the board can only support up to a 9th gen Intel CPU.
Yes. My system did come with an AMD Radeon RX 550 but not all configurations came that way. Some had no video card at all and some had only 8GB of RAM (mine had 16GB).
I'm told that HP cases are proprietary so most likely no on the power supply (but modifications can be made to make it work) and yes on the video card.
According to the motherboard specs (HP Lincs 843B) you can upgrade to an 8th generation core i7 CPU. support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05991291 See "Processor upgrade information" section. Of course, you can get a new motherboard (non-HP) and a new case and upgrade to a newer generation CPU.
Mine came (stock) with (2 x 8GB) 16GB DDR4 SDRAM (Dual-Channel). This link tells you what you can upgrade to (see "Memory upgrade information"): support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05991291
The short answer is yes, however I have heard that HP cases (and power supplies) are proprietary in nature, meaning they don't necessarily fit w/ parts from other brands. The current power supply has a 310 watts max rating. I took measurements of the existing PSU in case you were considering replacing it. Dimensions (LxWxH): 163x93x72 (mm) Height is the limiting factor since it shares space w/ the motherboard, so height should be 72mm or less. Width has to be less than 145mm if it is to fit inside the case.
Someone has brought me a 590-p0205a and it has a f@#$# 180w power supply in it. In 2020 a 180w power supply. At least this has a 350w. Proprietory crap that it is. Talk about drawing the short straw. HP really this is what you are serving up in 2019-2020?? Anyone reading. Run far far away from these systems.
The only people who need to stay away from these systems are gamers. So long as you intend to use these computers as is (except for an upgrade running your boot drive off an SSD) then they work great as cheap powerful systems.
mattscomp only choice is outside , option 1:is jump start 24pin psu with a paper clip or buy a jump starter that clips on 24pin and flip the on switch on the back of second psu and quickly power on pc at same time, option 2 : buy a “add2psu” adapter which starts the the second psu together when you hit the power button (used by miners/crypto currency), option 3: look up and check your motheraboard and find this psu “l07575-800” ( it’s an oem hp power supply with 500watt, and looks like the same connections as the video
It seems to me you're th one who searched for ways to upgrade your computer, not the other way around... Even tough Ron it's not the most knowledgeable person on yt, he's got pretty much all correct when it comes to the info he gave on this video
