HP Z400: map graphic and CPU recommendation for a HP Z400

OK so I bought a computer in a local thrift store for $ 30, I was able to boot into the shop to see this work before buy you, its a HP Z400 Workstation Desktop Xeon 3520 2.67 GHz 6 GB of RAM 240 GB drive HARD Windows 7. power supply stock of what I can say is, the power of 475 watts ok so I have 2 questions

#1 What is the best processor xeon tthat this PC can take charge and what version of bios that I support says CPU?

OK now the second question OK so I know this isn't a gaming machine I know its for tips of CAD and 3d but I need you guys to recommend me a decent game GPU that requires no external power and can run star trek online with decent settings not sure how many amps are on the rails of the PSU as I don't have the pc with me right now If cpu do you recommend and what gpu games do you recommend that I should not that id prefer a gpu nvidia on amd if possible, but as long as the card can operate star trek online everything is fine

kurt459,

Go into the BIOS F10 setup and look at the date of start-up under system information block.

If the boot block date is 2009-01-30, the system supports only the Xeon processors at 35xx.

If the block start date is 11/10/2009, the system supports both the 35xx and 36xx Xeon processors.

If your system has the block to start later, you can install a 6 hearts Xeon 36xx, which will give you more performance.

If you have the older boot block, it is not possible to update to support the 36xx processors.  There are several discussions in this forum about attempts to update the boot block, but HP does not support and does not provide any tools to do so.

  • Please recommend to me a card graphics and monitor 32 "for my mac pro 2009

    I currently have nvidia gt120 stock and a 27 "screen of samsung, which was not expensive and does not seem as high quality.

    I have my screen far enough away from me for acoustic reasons and feel like I'm tender my eyes a little.

    According to me, a 32 "is also great that I have for the space.

    I don't know anything about graphics / monitors, but I want the most clearest cases experience pleasant possible visualization for use logic and pro tools - I am interested in it 12 hours a day 6-7 days a week so I think it makes sense to splash if need be...

    My GT120 will support a large screen? A better graphics card gives me a clearer view?

    Any info greatly appreciated I'm a total model on this topic.

    It is not the size of the screen that counts, it's resolution, number of pf pixels, the card must drive.

    The GT-120 lead 2650 x 1600 max via the mini displayport or DVI dual-link output.

    What you watch get really depend on your preferences and your budget. It's very subjective. Just get one with a mini displayport or display port of entry.

  • I3 4130 map graphics and Power supply

    Hey guys, I have an i3 4130 with 8 GB of ram,

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04119419

    Of course, this processor and ram are good for the game, as I have seen online videos of people playing bf4 and crysis 3. I also want to play these games and cs: GB and dirty bomb and dragon age.  I don't really like playing high heat, the middle is fine for me.  I really want to get a r9 x 270 BC, they are in a large part to the best buy right now.  I will also buy a 650W power supply to go with it. My boyfriend is a geek and can install it for me. I took action, and I can fit such a graphics card or the gtx 660, in my case. [cards that are 10 x 4]

    However, I saw in another post that my motherboard has a connector 4-pin. Is this bad? The website says that my motherboard can support up to an i7 uprade!... So why not other new powerful pieces such as a GPU or a power supply.  I get that HP does not have computers for games. Why would they do a motherboard that can run an i7, but not an equally powerful GPU. I get that HP does not have the gaming PC, but those of office. However, it is the PC in my family study, so I'll try to make it work.

    Another way is for ma to get the GTX 750, because this card has a minimum required 300w power supply.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814487024

    However, a person in another forum said that HP uses cheap power supplies and will not have enough tension on the 12v rail. is this true?  If this way works, I definitely don't go this way as it is easy... also no need external with this map of power cord. However, if my power supply does not have enough Volts on the 12v rail, so I'll just take the graphics card I want and needed food.

    It's really frustrating me because I played some very old games [rtcw, and] with friends on teamspeak at night and my integrated graphics card could handle, but now they are turning on modern games that I can't play and I reallly want to understand this before you go and spend a lot of money. Thanks for any response.

    A: I definitely recommend that you try the EVGA GTX 750 Ti.  I read a lot of good things about it.  It does not all the connectors extra power on the power supply.  Regarding the PSU in HP computers is lousy, the fact is that they install the power supply that is compatible with the OEM components.  Even if their computer can be upgraded, they design that enable out of the box.  You can try with the current 300W PSU, but if it does not work, I suggest you buy a power supply at least 500W; 600W would be even better for futute upgrades.

    However, a person in another forum said that HP uses cheap power supplies and will not have enough tension on the 12v rail. is this true?  If this way works, I definitely don't go this way as it is easy... also no need external with this map of power cord.

    Here's the product specifications for the HP Pavilion p6717me desktop PC.  Based on the specifications, there are 3 things that you could upgrade to improve the performance of your game (and global).  I have them listed in the recommended order.

    1 update RAM: your unit comes with 4 GB of RAM, you should move it to 8, 12 or 16 total (16 GB MAX).

    2 GPU (video card) update: I highly recommend the upgrade of your GPU.  You can get any PCI Express x 16 card which physically fits in the slot.  The only limitation here is your power supply (PSU) offering only 300W of power.  Most of the best graphics cards require a minimum of 450-500W of power.   The power supply is a standard ATX power supply, so you should be able to upgrade easily if you want to upgrade the video card.

    3 update CPU: your device comes with an Intel i5 CPU and it could be upgraded to an i7 processor.  Models and information are listed in the connection of the plug above.

  • PowerEdge t110 ii question: map graphic and HARD drive

    Hello

    I recently bought a t110 ii with the Xeon E3-1230v2. I bought it for self-study and use as a work/homelab station server. (I got for a price lower than any offer of work/Office equaluivalent position).

    I searched on google for answers and couldn't find the messages dating back to 2012-2013.

    I was wondering if anyone has experience with compatible graphics cards that were released this year or last year.

    I understand that the PCIe connector can support up to 8 x power 25w (as read on other discussions).
    Is there a graphics cards of current generation that I could use.

    I'm not planning to use this for the games, the main use will be for virtualization and use it as a workstation from time to time.

    Then regarding politics HDD/RAM and the Dell warranty,.

    I was using my own disk sata hard and the possible upgrading ram later down the line. Open the chassis for upgrades or install third-party components will void warranty of the machine even if these elements were the reason for the failure.

    I would have purchased from Dell, but unfortunately cannot me like my student budget.

    SR2002,

    As Dell does not recommend 3 party graphics cards, the T110II supports it. Given that we do not recommend the use of them, we are actively testing the different manufacturers. Now, I met a former postwhere, they say, they used a NVIDIA GeForce G210 512 MB DDR2 PCI Express video card in the T110 II and it worked.

    To answer your next question, add and upgrade parts to the server will NOT void your warranty, but added devices that has been obtained through Dell will not be covered by the warranty.

    Let me know if this helps answer your questions.

  • HP G56 122 - US graphic and CPU upgrade

    Hello, almost two years ago now, I bought a HP G56 122-US, and that the games become more recent, it becomes more difficult to play games. I first bought so I could take it place and still play my games but now my CPU is too slow for some and my graphics card is good enough and barely less from where I have bad lag or framerate problems. So my question is can I replace my graphics card and my processor or not. If I can improve or another what should I look for information? I know that I can take my laptop outside and check if its welded on and learn for myself but I don't want to lose a screw or put something back wrong and not even be able to upgrade. In addition, there are about 20 screws on the bottom. Thanks in advance.

  • SX20 and SX10 recommended for small Display built-in speakers using conference rooms

    Hello

    IM planning to deploy a few small rooms of meeting using SX20 and SX10 codecs, I was wondering if someone could give me a few key points to consider:

    1. display recommendation, beautiful built-in speakers, low delay (goog with codec echo cancellation performance), I want to use a 60-70 inch Led TV (not yet defined which brand and model), I would like to receive feedback on beautiful poster with nice audio performance and echo cancellation performance according to your experience.

    2. What are the disadvantages of using SX20 and SX10 bigger meeting room maybe 10 or 12 people?

    3. when to use an external microphone? or when is recommended to only use the internal mic?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best regards, have a nice day!

    1. Pretty much no matter what modern screen should work - different people will have different ideas on the question of whether the speakers are all good, you must listen to a few yourself and make up your community what you think is "better".  Echo cancellation can be changed manually on the codec to adapt the display if necessary (rather than leave it on "auto" which, put in our facilities, has caused more trouble than it's worth).
    2. The main disadvantage of using the SX10 or the least expensive of the range of the SX20s, is the camera and zoom.  In a larger room, you won't get a good closer with a camera 2.5 x.  I would say for a larger room, you look at the 12 x cameras.
    3. As a general rule - use additional microphones when you can't get someone in a radius of 3 m one of the other pickups.  So in a larger room, you may need to much.

    PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY! Thank you!

    Everything will be probably, but it's going to be very tight because the size of your cabinet is a small Tower.  The 470 from NVIDIA will put a lot of heat.  You may encounter some problems of movement of heat and air because of the size of your wardrobe.  Open it and take a look and see for yourself.  If you update you have to flow with the side panel or install another fan of the firm.

    Food you mentioned is evaluated to 40 amps on the 12 volt bus.  EVGA GTX 470 recommends eating at least 38 amps on the bus + 12 volts.

    Anyones answer is welcome to the 21/08/11.

    Thanks to one that meets responsibly!

    Hi Raymond,

    Possibilities:

    1. bad adapter.  Check the status in the BIOS.  That's what it was when this happened to me about 4 months ago.  The battery even though the battery was fine and worked fine llaptop off voltage AC, BIOS did not recognize it as the appropriate adapter type and therefore not allow.

    2. bad battery.  They go bad--and sometimes a little quickly (as you will notice that if you have an extended warranty on the laptop, it does not include the battery).  Check the status in the BIOS.  Remove the battery, use the air to empty the room and a soft cloth to wipe the contacts.  Reinsert the battery and see if that helps.

    3 motherboard problem with connectors or wiring between them.  Very hard to tell her that's it--usually replaced if replacing the other two does not work.

    It is unlikely to be software-related.  This reeks of hardware problem.  Contact the manufacturer's technical assistance service and see if they have any suggestions on how to better ID the cause (and get costs for spares for each of the elements so that you know).

    I have listed them in my view of probability.  You of that or the other need to find someone with the same computer you that can let you borrow the battery and the adapter long enough to test (then you will probably be able to IDENTIFY the problem).  Or you can buy the pieces one at a time and see which works (I hope the first) - and try to get a guarantee of full refund for any reason, so you don't spend money on parts, that you don't need.  You must send it to the manufacturer for repair or take it to a local computer repair shop good reputation for service.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    PS Si the adapter is plugged into a surge protector, try a different surge protector, or plug it directly into the wall to rule out a defective surge protector.

  • recommendation for old Optiplex GX620 graphics card

    I upgraded my OS to Win 7 Pro 32 bit on this computer, but the Windows experience index is estimated at 2.8 with aero off because of the graphics.

    SAPPHIRE HD 5450 1 GB would work in a dell optiplex GX 620? Slim. also is it just plug and play?

    I doubt it is plug-and-play; to illustrate, a parent replaced a burnt on 6450 with a 8400GS and Windows installed default VGA driver and he left like that. The screen showed a large black border, and the resolution is suboptimal. Installing software appropriate to NVidia eliminated border and full resolution.

    I would say that the card will work, but you will need to install the driver (which isn't hard).

    I have a Sapphire 6570 installed in my GX620, with excellent results.

    Can anyone help with what the graphics card, I need for smooth playback MP4?

    I begin barely using files of my new Sony NEX-5 mp4 and edit in PE and find that my computer will not play them without jerking (this is not really a problem of items that I have the same problem in Quicktime and other media players). Playing .avi files is fine. Can anyone recommend what graphics card I could buy to get a smooth playback? (I have the latest version of the driver for my old card and it is now classified as a legacy).

    Details:
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    Two Intel 3.2 GHz processors
    3.00 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card

    New card must be compatible with my Matrox RT. X 100 video card.

    Thank you very much

    MP4, as AVCHD files are highly compressed and take a LOT of power to play smoothly, because the CPU has to decompress the video images during playback of calculation

    That decompression is not made by the graphics card... your machine likely never has simply not enough power to play smooth... especially as is the case with all stakeholders
