Fastidious Foo, words cannot express my gratitude for you making this video. I tried 3 other CPU coolers (the first one was listed as compatible but was not actually, the second one didn't fit into HP's custom bracket, and the 3rd one required the bracket to be removed completely which is impossible because the CPU retention system is tied to it) and this one actually fits on my system (even with broken screw mounts on the bracket! I had to drill into the spacers to get them to fit over my cpu bracket screw mounts because they were mushroomed out from when I previously tried to force an incompatible CPU cooler screw into them. Otherwise, it has lowered my idle temps and high temps from 5*C - 15*C and is literally silent. I cannot hear it even when I put my ears up to the PC. Amazing. I cannot thank you enough.
This is awesome! I wish I saw this before I did it on my own and had to purchase a new back plate but it probably cost me the same price as a packet of screws. Great videos Fastidious Foo
If anyone is wondering, you can also unscrew the socket and peel off the backplate to add a standard 1151 socket mount and backplate. Then you can use any cooler you want.
What a great video, just in time for me to receive mine tomorrow. Mine will be going in a Lenovo Ideacentre Gaming. I had a cooler master delivered today, but it was too tall to fit the case. I used HWmonitor as well and with the current standard CPU fan it hits the 80 to 95 degrees. While the fan is ramping up. But these are just spikes. I bought my prebuilt about a week ago and the funny thing is that the thermal paste already had dried up. I only use MX4 from Arctic. I was also looking at an Arktic cooler but decided to go with this one, and now I know how to mount it, thank you very much. I know the video is three years old, but nonetheless it is a gift that keeps on giving.
Thank you for the video! Based on this I swapped my cooler. One thing though: - the OEM backplate is not something you can remove as it is also securing the socket retention mechanism, so unless you have a less custom one you can use there actually is no other way of mounting this cooler, only the way you went about it.
I just used the screws from the fan on my old heatsink that came with the computer originally. It was the screws from the stock intel cooler that came in my HP. If anybody reads this, don't use the heatsink screws, use the screws holding the fan onto the heatsink. It's been installed like this for a week now and it's running wonderfully. I just took off the heatsink and the screws are still as tight as they were when I installed the Noctua.
As someone who’s new to any type of pc building and just recently bought this same model PC, I can’t express enough how much I appreciate this series you’ve created on it! I know HP builds are a bit unorthodox and finding info on building with it online is sparse so having this available is very very convenient. I hope you also do a video on installing the case fan as I’m curious how you went about doing that. Thank you!
Around 4 min marker :ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4fiZTnTSMaU.html for replacement. Not really a good way to add an additional case fan.
@@fastidiousfoo An ad-hoc solution to adding a case fan for the HP Pavilion is to replace the side case panel with a similar sized laptop cooler pad standing on its side. From my experience, the best results are a multi-fan cooler (5-6 fans) blowing inward. Power the cooler using one of the USB ports on the back of the case. Not pretty to look at, but it seems to help.
@@CungNguyenify now iam confused, in your first post you wrote required is m3. I ordered one with Ryzen, not here yet. My thoughts was that intel has another size, but now i guess they use for Intel and AMD the same.
Perfect! Just ordered the Noctua NH-U12A for my HP Naples MB with an i7 7700. Noctua said it wasn't compatible with any HP or Dell MBs because of the back plate issue. Simple solution that means I can use one of the best air coolers around and wont need to rip my MB out. Thank you :-D
Used this on the Victus by HP tg02 with an i7 12700k but had to use M3 16mm screws and they went through position 1 on the mounting brackets. The backplate standoffs were flush with the motherboard so aligning the spacers were a pain when fastening but it was well worth the time spent doing it!
Using this method with 4 12mm m3 screws, I was able to install an id-cooler SE-914-XT ARGB cpu cooler and fan. I needed to remove the optical drive, hdd, and metal bracket but I can now run cyberpunk on raytracing ultra with the Temps not exceeding 60 degrees Celsius. Highly recommend. No extra fans were added. This cpu cooler changes the direction of the cpu airflow to directly out the exhaust in the back of the computer. Great if you use the nvme storage and no optical drive..
Really great video and idea to be able to install the Noctua cooler without taking our the motherboard. Also just to clairfy did you only replace the stock fan with the NF-A9 fan or did you use both. If so how did you configure it? thanks
Hey, thank you for the video. Could you recommend any cheaper alternative to Noctua's NH-L9 X65 that will fit in this PC? This one is over my budget. Thanks.
I just want to add another possible solution on how to improve cooling on the 690-0073w on the cheap ($10-$20). To solve the lack of a proper intake fan, @UC36unzV4bZehkvCygIVyydA you can replace the side case panel with a similar sized laptop cooler pad standing on its side. From my experience, the best results are a multi-fan cooler (5-6 fans) blowing inward. Power the cooler using one of the USB ports on the back of the case. Secure the cooler pad to the case at the top with a bent paper clip to prevent it from tipping over. Not pretty to look at, but it seems to help.
Lol man, same idea. I actually placed my laptop cooling pad on the side of my case, so that 1-2 of those fans push at least some air through the intake opening...didn't really notice much temp difference though. I'd be too paranoid about leaving my case open covered only by the cooling pad though...too much dust probably too! My Ryzen 5 3400G works just fine with the stock cooler anyway, goes up to 70-75 during gaming and 80-82 during stress testing, which I consider acceptable results, especially considering how tiny the stock cooler is and how airflow deprived the case is!
Wow this answered several questions I've been searching for answers to for a long, long time. Thank you! Also hp support sucks, they are less than helpful with stuff like this. They should hire you, thanks again!
Be carefull when you lift your Cpu Cooler. Always lift it straight up. Sometimes it can happen that the CPU still sticks to the cooler and if you aren´t carefull the pins can get damaged. If you want to avoid this problem run the PC 30 minutes before.
Is there a way to have stock fans in this computer always turned on? I don't mind the noise and it seems that by the time they kick on they are playing catch up.
The cooler and the small 256 m.2 are literally the only things I would have changed about this pc. Mine gets hot after a couple hours of gaming. I open up the side and its good to go. I still need to get a ssd.
I have the 590-p0024 mobo - its a similar form factor but for amd processors. I was able to update from a ryzen 2200g to a ryzen 7 2700. The amd wraith cooler doesnt fit, but I was able to swap the fans around and use the amd fan on the hp cooler. I might try this though instead. Thanks!
Will thx but I already installed the stock cooler because I couldn’t get any response sooner that I got frustrated and quit trying so know I installed this cooler on my Ryzen system
The stock cooler is good too, I see no reason to replace it unless noise is really such a big deal (but I'm not sure how noisy is the stock one compared to others).
@@wavyyoko2622 ;-; I wish i did the only thing I found is this desktop size is a small form factor case. I think the best thing you could do is measure the PSU but then again I haven't figured it out yet .... I wish we could have some help with this!
I just did this with another HP PC. The backplate is removable, but not easily. It is installed in the back of the CPU socket with two sided tape. I cut most of the tape, carefully, with a razor blade, then cleaned the rest up with rubbing alcohol. I was then able to use Noctua's LGA115x backplate (even though mine is an AMD socket).
The motherboard and processor only supports up to 2666hz speed so be careful what you buy. Also the motherboard is locked so there’s no xmp available. Try to make sure if the ram comes 2666 already.
@@NickloasPalade I think I used 12 mm but dont remember quite well. Here is the link where I got the screws, it includes M3 10mm and 12mm as well www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GVV9Q82/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
