I have not seen one of him showing his face before.He's been doing that for a while. Look through his video history.

Oh that is why ,i have only seen his old ones.He's been doing it for a few weeks.
What do you think of it?Whats that freezer 13 thingHe's been doing it for a few weeks.
It was a typoI think you mean it "fails" to boot?
It could be that it is trying to boot from that new drive, and is hanging up there.
Try pressing the "ESC" key during the POST screen, and select "boot menu", and then select the drive you want to boot from (which should NOT be the new drive). Then it should boot up.
Also, unless you are actually using your drives in a RAID configuration, I recommend changing the setting for your SATA ports in the BIOS to AHCI, instead of RAID -- as that will eliminate some boot overhead.
I hope this helps,
Philip

I guess you are right i did not think about putting it on another forum ,I guess i should have put it on the Retro Forum.Just curious -- what does this build have to do with HP workstations?
This thread is for discussions related to HP workstations.... you should probably move the discussion for this non-workstation build to another thread....
Hey Welcome to TPU! If you're going to go for some OCing in that system(I presume you're going to use ThrottleStop), the 1660v3 is good, the 1680v3 would be a bit better as they're binned better. Avoid the 1650, you lose two cores. 1660v3 or 1680v3 is my advice.Alright I need some help. I have a z440 with a Xeon E5 2640 V3, I have applied the "X99 Turbo Boost Unlock" hack and it runs very well. I want some more single thread performance though than I have however, so I was thinking of getting a 1650 V3 or 1660 V3 and overclocking it, but it looks a bit difficult.
The stock cooler in the Z440 is rated for 165W so as long as you don't go crazy, you can get a decent OC with it. Likely 4ghz with either one of those CPUs.Do I really need a liquid cooler for this or can I just get a good air cooler. I also saw that the cooler uses a proprietary connector so could i get an adapter?
There good machines i have a Z230 modal.Only trouble with my one and i dare say with the Z440 they have Proprietary psu,s so if you want to put a new PSU in there you have todo a hack jobhello Hp owners
thinking of getting a Z440.
will it boot nicely from a PCIe NVMe drive?
or does the PCIe adapter need to have "boot rom"?
oscilating between Z440 and T5810... i know the dell has 825W ..hp 700W but other than that?
i like the design more for Z440 but am i missing something critical?...feature-wise? cooling wise? (hate dell fan curve)
Don't plan on changing PSUThere good machines i have a Z230 modal.Only trouble with my one and i dare say with the Z440 they have Proprietary psu,s so if you want to put a new PSU in there you have todo a hack job
as you can see in this video.
700 w is good when it is working when you have to replace it that is another thing.Don't plan on changing PSU
Tx.
It needs a boot rom, but will otherwise work fine.will it boot nicely from a PCIe NVMe drive?

Thanks.It needs a boot rom, but will otherwise work fine.

Windows has nothing to do with it. Most PCs indeed use a Realtek HDA/Azalia chipset but my 645 G1, for example, has an IDT (formerly SigmaTel, at least the audio chipset division) chipset as does my ProBook 6465b. I also have an EliteBook with Conexant (audio chipset division acquired from Analog Devices) chipset. I don't think that there is anything wrong with VIA. AFAIK their chipsets (in general) tend to be pretty good but I don't know about audio specifically.Has anyone heard of a Windows PC not using Realtech? I thought they all did. mine does,t it uses VIA![]()
They're full of it. That HP would run fine without the shroud..Read somewhere that the z440 needs the ram cooling shroud if you want to populate all 8 ram dimms.
A local company of refurbished workstations told me so...
But saw a clip with a guy with 8 filled slots and no shroud ..
Yup, it'll be fine.So does it work without the shroud?
Maybe next i go z440.
Love the industrial design.
I feel so cheated.They're full of it. That HP would run fine without the shroud..

I got the CPU now and I just am barely able to get it to run at 4ghz. Im using ThrottleStop 8.7 (that one actually affects the cpu in this system) and I have to increase voltage to like 1.17 for it to not instantly BSOD at 4ghz, haven't gotten it to go higher.Hey Welcome to TPU!

I just went to pick up this MSI B150 PRO VHD the guy said it came with a i/o Shield then he said he would send me a picture i wondered why that was as i had all ready seen the pictures of it, i said i did not have a smart phone.Then he told me he did not have the I/O Shield.And said it would be £10 instead of £15 then he said you can have it free if you put the money to a smart phone.He was a Asian guy, i thought that was a very nice thing to doThey're full of it. That HP would run fine without the shroud..
Yup, it'll be fine.
I don't currently have an HP system, you should be ok either way as long as the load voltage ends up where you are setting the target. As mentioned in the TS thread, that CPU and system will be fine at 4.2ghz on 1.2v or even 1.21v 24/7.When Im using throttlestop, do I adjust the default voltage or voltage offset to be safe?
I have just looked on HP ,s site and this is what someone saidI have a z440 with the 700w PSU, 2690v4, 4x16GB DDR4 2133mhz, an NVME SSD on a pci-e adapter, 4 various Samsung SATA SSDs and a RX 6600XT. So far I am happy with it and it's an upgrade over my previous z77 platform and all and in it only cost me $235 for everything because I already had storage and GPU.
Anyone know the highest TDP chip these boards will take?
