• HP Envy Phoenix 860se-100: required power for DVD cable drive on Envy Phoenix 860

  I recently bought a Phoenix of envy and the first task was to cut the power of 500w and replace it with a bigger 80 more platinum supply (EVGA Supernova 750w P2). I have a 980ti video card and added a few SSDs that require the increased power.

  While it is installed and works well, the Endowment had a [what I have now learned to know as] sata mini connector for power to the DVD player. Naturally my new power supply do not have that.

  Best I can tell is to get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009JXKQ9O?keywords=mini%20sata%20adapter & qid = 1458574748 & ref_ = sr_1 _... (although I have will probably want it a little longer)

  This should allow me to connect the sata and power from the motherboard. So my question is that correct?

  Or something like that might work also, http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Cable-Molex-Adapter-CL-CAB40042/dp/B005BCNAWM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1458...

  I guess that this connects to my diet?

  I bought a cable mini sata (6 pins) on ebay for a few dollars. Solved the problem. Subsequently my brother mentioned that the electricity company probably would send me a free.
  
  500 watts was barely sufficient to manage the graphics card processor and 980ti. I don't want a bill of $600 to replace my card because the power supply has failed. Not to mention that it is more than 10% more efficient.
  
  Thanks for the reply.

• No Audio - HP Envy Phoenix 810-145QE

  Not audio on the back or the upper connector, using the "Troubleshooting" of the message, it is that no device is connected. My headphone and line connection of the speakers work fine on my old HP computer. HDMI audio output does not work, but I really don't want to use this video out all the time. I tried to reinstall the driver, who was the same as this computer is less than a month. Why she even check to a device 'connected' to the audio output, that kind of thing is just a matter for additional problems.

  Hello BobinLA,

  I understand that you are having problems with audio in the upper rear connectors on your desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 810. In view of the new way in which this computer is I think it would be better if you contact HP Technical Support. This will ensure that your problems is not only dealt with, but a proper documentation.

• I want to improve my HP Envy h8-1414

  I want to improve the GPU in my HP Envy H8-1414, but I need to know what cards are supported in the computer. I intend to change the GPU at an AMD Radeon HD 7950 3 GB ddr5 xfx and along with the PSU of 300w for a 430w. So what cards are supported and can be set in this case and the latest games with ease. It is a temporary game as well.

  Hello

  The bad news is that there is not a list of graphics cards for PC.

  Consult this publication documentfor more information.

  Playing the latest games with ease will require a greater than 430 Watt power supply.   You should consider a watt Corsair CX500, or CX600 power.

  Your PC has an update of the BIOS posted, so you must apply the update before using a different video card.

• Want to 810qe of Phoenix: upgrade graphics card on desktop HP Envy Phoenix 810qe

  If earlier I wanted a new Phoenix 810qe Desktop (windows version 8) with the following customizations: 4th gen Intel i7 - 4790 k @4.0 Ghz, 16 GB DDR3 - 1600 Mhz (2 DIMM), 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive, cache SSD 16 GB mSATA, HP WLAN 802.11 DB 2 x MCard BT WIDI 2 ac, 15 in 1 Multi Media Card Reader slot , 6 USB ports (front/back), Audio [before 4USB2.0, 2USB3.0 top of the page], 4 GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 745. I want to know if I could put in an Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 instead of the 745 GTX graphics card. Reading this post on the forum (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Upgrade-My-HP-ENVY-Phoenix-810qe-Desktop/td-p/4679014) I know that the computer has a power of 500w. But in the post, that it seemed that the person asking the question just had basic computer and had not adapted it, and I still have to wonder if the customization that I did for my computer took more watts of the PSU.  Now that I know that the GTX 980 would need 500 all the watts that my computer can offer that I want to know if my computer is perhaps still able to run this beast of a GPU. Anyone have any ideas? If this isn't the case, I think I can just settle for a Geforce GTX 960 because who needs to 400 w of total power of the system. But I'm not even sure that would work on my current computer either. Any help?

• Update drivers ATI HP Envy Phoenix H9-1350.

  Hello

  I just bought a Hp Envy Phoenix H9-1350.  I installed all of the update of windows it shows that I need, and in the DXDIAG, it shows the map as being a Radeon HD 7670.  The driver shows no version as I'm too used to the usual ATI cards and the driver date is listed as 21/09/2012.

  When I try to update the driver through the site Web of AMD, the driver will never install actually.  Even with the CCC.  When I go to the HP support website to download the drivers, I get the CCC, but the driver is not updated.  The time is always listed as 21/09/2012.

  Because the drivers are so old, the performance, I get in games isn't what needs to be had with the specifications of the system that the machine has.  The operating system that the computer is running is Windows 8.  How to update the graphics drivers in this machine?  I guess more accurately, I would install Catalyst 13.1, including the updated driver.  13.2 beta would be even better because that specifically improves the performance of Guild Wars 2 a little.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello:

  I know not which model you have PC, and what are the specs, and Yes, you could remove and replace the video card.

  I want to say is that since I don't have your model of PC or remotely, that affects to it (I only buy / use of Professional PC HP), I'm not able to confirm that install another video card (or a specific model of video card) is guaranteed to work in your model.

  What I'm saying, it's... I do not see why to remove the current Board and its replacement with one that works within the limits of the power supply, would not work.

  However, several times I read posts where people install video cards in various PC and for some reason, a certain model of video card will not work in this PC and I see no reason for this.  But it happens.

  You have to roll the dice and see what happens, or you can start a new thread and see if anyone knows what that specific video cards will work in your PC.

  I agree that risking $ 100 is a lot of $$$ on a bet.

  I installed video cards in a lot of PC, and that once it has failed to work (even if you have to).

• Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver update for HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe desktop

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP ENVY Phoenix 810-135qe desktop computer, during a performance of the construction in the auditor of updates to HP program that it is announcing the following update available for my machine and I was wondering if there were more details about what he actually did and/or updates/patches?

  Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver

  If I need to apply this patch, it would be nice to understand a little better what to expect and what is fixed and/or improvements.  You have to forgive me because I'm old school and I usually generally follow the routine "if it ain't broke don't fix it".  I'll do what it takes well so I have a better understanding of what is going to happen in the case where updating mess something inadvertently.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  What is the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology software.

  http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/sb/CS-020784.htm

  It is not necessary to install the update if you do not want.

  I doubt you will notice a difference in performance if you have it installed.

  It is unlikely that all the problems would result in the update (however could apply Murphy's law), but like you said... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

• can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

  I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

  (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

  2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

  My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

  Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  •4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

  Hello

  Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

  1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
  2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
  3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
  4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
  5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
  6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
  7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

  The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.

  You should not have problems with a PC this new.
  
  While this PC is still under warranty, contact HP customer care directly so that they can put you in contact with HP Technical Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.
  
  I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.

• HP Envy Phoenix 810-160: give up WiFi

  I have a HP Envy Phoenix 810-160 that I bought in April of 2014, it came with loaded Windows 8.1.  It has a Broadcom BCM4352HMP 801.11 ac 2 x 2 Wi - Fi adapter.  It maintains abandon the connection. I have install the driver is 6.30.223.170 from 09/06/2013, I tried updating the driver and it says my driver is up to date. When I go to the available networks list my network is listed under the power of the full signal.  It does not connect and says that it can't connect.   I turn on/off the device in Device Manager and reboot, then I get anywhere from two minutes to an hour or two of functionality so that it falls new.

  I'm going through HP and widows forums forums all day looking for a solution.  I followed all the troubleshooting steps I found on the HP and Windows forums, but none were specific to this model PC and a wireless adapter.   The only step I have not tried it replace the adapter.  computer 8 months, I want to buy a new card from the computer.  As it is connected to the internet from the computer, I received, it's only this morning December 26, 2014 that the connection has begun to wane.

  I tried to update the driver, uninstall and reinstall the adapter off the blue tooth adapter, currently if I toggle the device once in a relationship and reboot, I get a time where I stay logged in, but eventually, he abandons the connection again.

  When I turn on the computer the little indicator white wireless on the front of the computer lights up almost instantly.  I see my home network with the power of the full signal and two laptops and my Iphone right next to the computer to connect to the same network with full signal strength.

• Desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX: how to replace ssd boot drive in a desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX?

  I bought a desktop computer HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX with an SSD of 256 GB of disk as a boot disk with a disk of 1 TB storage.  I have a Samsung Evo Pro 500 GB SSD I want to use as the startup disk.  I cloned the original drive to the Samsung Evo without problem.  I opened the PC folder to move hard disks, and I can't find the SSD drive.  I found the pretty easy storage of 1 TB drive but cannot find the SSD drive.  Can anyone help?

  Greetings,

  You can have a PCIe M.2 (Non - SED) Solid State Drive 256Go.

  This drive connects to the motherboard, it's the size of a stick of gum.

  It can be mounted vertically or stand flat on the motherboard (MB).

  M2 the drive is much faster than an SATA 3 SSD.  You may not be happy with this change if you bought a SATA 3 SSD. You might be better off going to a 512 GB m2 if the MB supports. I noticed that the m2 drive runs closer to the rated speed when using a k i7 - 5930 or an i7-5960 x due to the track of 40 PCIe bus as opposed to 28 tracks on the i7-5820 k.

  It should be close to the PCIe slots. ASRock, Asus and Gigabyte locate M.2 slots here as it connects with the bus PCIe x 16 and uses the bandwidth of one of the 16 slots x.

  If this is true, install the SATA SSD in the available Bay HHD using an adapter 2.5 inches. Then change the default boot device in the BIOS for the SATA SSD. You may need to experiment on what SATA port you use. EFI can be finicky. It is also possible that you may have to reinstall the original image. I have an Asrock x 99 card in m.2. Asrock BIOS is much more forgiving and configurable. I'm not familiar with MB of your PC or the boot configuration options available during the passage of a m2 boot device to a boot SATA device.

  This change of equipment could also ruin to restore the PC using the original image. It depends on whether this change of equipment is a configurable option to purchase.

  See you soon!

• HP ENVY Phoenix 810-230qe: PC upgrade as a whole

  Hi all!

  I am writing to talk about upgrading my PC, a HP ENVY Phoenix 810 - 230qe, as a whole. Initially, I bought a PC with a FX-8320 and a little sad back in 2013 graphics card and bought a carepack with her. Once the graphics card has failed and has been replaced three times in a single year, I called HP support and a nice case manager (thank you Lorraine!) hooked me up with this one - a k 4770, 12 GB of RAM and a beautiful 270 r9. However, I'm not comfortable with the temperatures of the PC under load because there is only a single fan for all of your PC and it is blocked by water from Asetek 92 mm cooling for the CPU package.  So, I was looking to upgrade the PC as a whole around my birthday later this year. I had planned on keeping the CPU, GPU, RAM and 2 TB HDD, but I was left confused - the PC came with a 16GB mSATA 'Cache', and I know not whether or not the 2 TB of HARD drive or the mSATA drive has my Windows OS on it - if it has Windows, I'm having a few problems. A photo of two devices are here. Furthermore, I don't know how the CPU is. I was wondering if anyone knew or not that the CPU has been mounted normally or if it has been welded on - motherboard was made by MSI and the model name is "MS-7826.

  If someone wants to see my upgrade of the list or make suggestions, it can be found here. I hope I can get some tips on the PC as well as help with my questions!

  Adam, welcome to the forum.

  I'll add my comments in a space next to your questions.

  What you are wanting to do can work.  However, whenever you have high end components in a matter of smaller size, you will have problems with the HEAT.  You're right to worry.  Heat will cause all components to fail prematurely.  If you try to move the motherboard for another case, you must ensure that the holes in the match of the motherboard the accessory in the case.  In addition, some of the connectors cannot be the same as in a case of HP.  HP has their motherboards designed specifically for them.
