Thread and core count is the same on a k, non k, or t CPU. Only difference is TDP. (35w / 65w / 95w) Main issues running a k on a mini / micro PC is power limitations (laggy and ocassional freezes) and inadequate cooling. Soon as you put any type of load on it, CPU will thermal throttle and even shut down. Even the larger SFF PCs have thermal problems running k (Cinnebench) and non k. Not worth overheating and possibly damaging the CPU IMHO but do so at your own risk. This is my experience using 8th and 9th gen on Lenovo tiny / SFF and Dell Optiplex micro PCs with all 3 variants of the i7-8700, i7-9700, and i9-9900 CPUs. At the end of the day, these mini PCs are plenty fast and powerful with the T variant CPUs.
Hi, great vid. I enjoyed it. The difference between the regular i9700 and K version is the K has an unlocked clock multiplier for over clocking., but you need a mother board and bios that can configure it. I doubt the HP minis do. Otherwise there is no advantage. Keep the vids coming 😊
HP should have made a slightly modded chassis to slide two of those doorstop PSU into. To make things nice and tidy. As two of the 150s look to be about the size of a G4/5/6 chassis.
Whilst doing a quick bootup check without the heatsink installed just press your thumb on the CPU lid. Your blood circulation makes up for a pretty good heatpipe. At least for a short time.
Those EliteDesk 705s are odd ones. I was just looking at the G3 variant and they look like G2s with the black case. I think I'll have to get more educated on AMD chips.
I find myself fascinated by mini computers; if I had the money and storage space, I'd start a collection. I had a lenovo M73 which I made into a Batocera box so my mother can play Crash Bandicoot, and I have an Asus Vivomini as a media pc, and an ASrock A300 as my couch PC. Just noticed a silent mini atx case on ebay for 45 quid, now I'm trying to think of a good use (pretext) for having a silent PC. - Putting a 9700k in a G4/5 seems analogous to putting V12 in a mini metro.
Guys I have several Z2 G3 and G4 units, they are sweet!. My G3s have an i7-6700, 16GB ram, 256GB nvme, wifi and Nvidia GPU. You can get them cheap you know where. I think YT deleted my previous post because I mentioned the place ? If you're interested make sure you get the Performance model which has the Nvidia GPU and extra ports. Ps. It has a unique case design, I've heard that it was reversed engineered from a crashed UFO. 😉 Take a look at them! Cheers.
I have about six of them by now. I am going to use three G3 for an XCP-ng or Proxmox cluster and a G4 with an i7-8700, 32 GB ram and a Samsung 2 GB nvme as my workstation. I like the Elitedesk 800s, I have several thanks to this channel 😊 but these are sweet too. If you're thinking of getting one, remember to get the performance model. They're much better and are priced about the same. Cheers.
Both the G4 and G5 use the Q370 chipset and this page www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/133282/intel-q370-chipset/compatible.html claims it should work all the way up to an i9-9900K. So there must be something else in the G4 that is stopping it from using the i7-9900K that I used in the video - possibly BIOS settings??
So the new motherboard came I installed it in the HP elitedesk 800 g2 mini and I get this message pop up system is booting in manufacturing program mode So. I have some work to do to fix it but the board works %100
I haven't seen that myself but this post links to a utility that is supposed to help h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Replaced-system-board-getting-quot-System-is-booting-in/td-p/6669463
@@handmedowntech I sort of know what I'm doing just going to take me a couple of days to sort it and thanks but all in all the pc works hdmi and everything and once it's finished the new board will have the old boards ID like a clone
