Modification/upgrade SSD in HPE Phoenix h9 - 1120-t.

I was think to upgrade my SSD (which is a 160 GB Intel 320 series running at 3/Gbs.  He me really befuddles as to why HP would use slower 3/GB SSD in their premium platforms.  In addition, I need more space.

But anyway the problem is the following:

My OS is on the disk, so a few other programs and games (Microsoft office [full version], BF3, etc.).  Since it's an OEM system, the way I understand well - is that the OS is an OEM version and is "linked" to the mobo - so I can't just change the SSD on and use my re system restore disk - install Win 7 on a new SSD.  It won't work.

My question is can I get a key of activation Windows from HP or Microsoft that will allow me to win $100 for the purchase of a new copy of Windows 7 (and I don't want to win 8).

This is the SSD, I am considering:

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147189

I intend now and wiping the Intel SSD 320 and use it as a third hard drive.

Or, if I can clone data the old on the new SSD SSD-"trick" the system that I have not changed anything.  I know that there are utility programs there cloning.  I hate having to buy a new copy of Windows 7 on top of everything else.

Thank you.

Hello

There should not be a problem with the help of the HP recovery discs to recharge the system on your new SSD.  However, you will need to reinstall your programs, and copy your data across.

  1. Unplug the current SSD and the new SSD of cables in this SATA port.
  2. Use the HP recovery discs and rebuild your system.
  3. Reinstall your programs.
  4. If all is good then rewired the old SSD and copy your data across.

You will have a for the Samsung 840 mm 7 SSD mounting bracket.

  • Issue after upgrading processor in HPE Phoenix h9 - 1120-t.

    Hi all.  I had debated on the amendment on the processor (an i7 3770) in my Phoenix HPE h9 - 1120t after that I got my hands on an i7 and 3770 k, still in the box.  Following an injury, I've been away from work for a few weeks - so my pure boredom I went ahead and change on the proc.

    It's relatively simple and no different from any other treatment that I have changed/added other space restricted in the case of Phoenix.  And once I had the liquid cooler and fan/radiator turned off, it's easy as a pie.

    I had no problems at all and it booted right up at the first attempt.  Yes I know it's a tiny increase in frequency, and my just Pegatron Z75 Board is not really made for serious overclocking (I got it at 4.1 GHz for about four hours using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and time has hovered around 45 c, which is fine, but I don't want to stress out you my mobo so I supported down to default speeds again).  I don't really plan to do much OC'ing, but it is still nice to have an unlocked CPU.

    Interestingly, there was a fairly large amount of TIM on the CPU and the waterblock when I removed it.  I was always in the pea or the size of BB camp, and I'm curious to see what users here think.  I cleaned the plate cooper real good with some 91% isopropyl alcohol and then put my pea size place on the central area of the CPU die (I used Artic MX-4), which allows the waterblock to spread it when mounted.  My time seem to be really on the same property.  I slowed down around 28 - 30 c, which is what they were on the no k.  I wonder if there have been good studies on thermal paste, and if someone proved the entire surface of the CPU that is painted on the method or the method of pea size dab is preferable.

    I have a question though.  Warranty associated.  Since I still have a year left on my warranty, what happens if something happens and I need to send the whole rig under repair at HP?  Do I have to restore the original components and put the former no k 3770 back in?  The reason why I asked is that I have a chance to sell the old da, but I was worried that I might need if something bad happens and I'm in need of repair or service.

    With regard to thermal paste... too much is as bad as not enough. In all there should be a very thin layer of compound... just enough to fill in the blanks between the contact surfaces.

    Like many, the guarantee will return all components of the stock to the computer and the backup... or make image to your hard drives. I have a graphics card improved HP because the specifications were inaccurate and I relied on them for the purchase of the computer. Customer support escalations manager told me to keep the original of the card corresponding to the correct plug where the system had to go home. I guess it's because the technician can replace components with parts... If technology don't, perhaps you miss an Intel i7 3770 k. There are also many discussions of the forum on component being change and hard drives being wiped.

    Hello

    Dimensions   16.22 "(L) x 6.89" (W) x 16.34 "(H/D) approx."

    I do not recommend installing a PC in a limited airspace unless you can ensure that the PC gets plenty of fresh air.

    I know that this model comes with an option of cooling water, but you still need fresh air to the water cooler and other components integrated into the PC.

  • Upgrade SSD for Dell XPS 15 9550

    Hello

    I have Dell XPS 9550 with configuration 32 GB SSD + 500 GB HARD disk. I want to upgrade SSD for more space avaliablity.

    But I don't know what type of SSD, I'll need to buy. Also, I read XPS 15 to repair. There are two chapter for the removal and replacement of the SSD in the maintenance manual. First chapter of half-length SSD, second chapter SSD full length.

    What type of SSD is mounted in my laptop? Half or full length?

    How can I identify necessary SSD for me in stores (dimensions, label, etc.)?

    What interface for SSD do I need?  PCIE or SATA?

    What is the map? M2.2280 or PCI-E AIC (-expansion card)?

    Thanks in advance!

    These are all numbers of Dell and descriptions.

    The system uses a PCIe (or is if you want a faster player), 2280 m2 or small size.  UNLESS you buy directly from Dell, it is best NOT to buy versions OEM of SSD (Samsung end pieces in a '1' vs '0' for details).

    OEM spare parts are usually not compatible to end-users by the manufacturer.

    Because you will probably install the operating system for the new SSD, don't forget to make a recovery media set, you need to load the operating system on the larger capacity disk - what you have now is just a cache for the main hard drive.

  • New HPE Phoenix rig H9 - 1120-t. Very satisfied with the service the customer of HP.

    I just wanted to post an update to my recent adventure with HP.  I recently bought a truck of Phoenix from HP, with processor i7 2600.  I really loved at first, but began to have some problems and called e-way HP customer service a few times on their subject. Nothing huge, but since I'm still in a period of new of my purchase, HP has allowed me to return my rig and initiate a new order.  And there are still better here.

    Because I was also a little upset than just after buying my rig (within two weeks of my purchase in fact), they changed in the new Ivy Bridge CPU and is no longer even had my i7 2600 in option.  So finally they allowed me to Exchange my rig and re-order the same (with a recent 3770 i7).  I think it was very accommodating on their part.  I also decided to go ahead and add an SSD 160 GB current (but I had to pay for it, of course).  But otherwise I had the exact same platform, just with a diff CPU and an added ssd.

    After getting my new rig in less than a week and then installing my Radeon HD 6950 2 GB graphic card-all I can say is WOW.  This baby is fast.  Even faster!   Most of the comments list i7 3770 as only on a gain of 10% on the i7 2600, but I can tell you that it depends on what you are doing first-hand.  I know that I see some of this improvement in speed due to the SSD, but with just global tasks, the computer feels a lot more zippier than before even the programs that I have on my HARD drive are faster.  My WEI went from a 7.6 to a 7.7 on the CPU (my GPU score was already maxed out at 7.9), and better yet - there is another bonus.

    The new Phoenix Ivy Bridge boat platforms with a card mother Z75 Pegatron, which by default RAM speed is 1600 MHz.  Although it came with 10GB of RAM at 1333 MHz.  I bought two sticks of 4 GB Crucial Ballistix 1600 MHz RAM and when I plugged it in, the system immediately recognized them as 1600 MHz and I didn't have to do a thing.  They are run in XMP mode.  Another nice little bump of speed (bit, Yes, but still visible).  This introduces by score of WEI RAM of 7.6 to 7.8.

    The lowest WEI score is now my SSD with a 7.6.

    I am really satisfied with the HP at this stage, and I must say, they went out of their way to make sure that I was happy and they followed with several emails of commentary and surveys - just to make sure that I am now convinced.  I give congratulations this time HP - and their service exceptional customer.  Guys good job.  And thank you for an outstanding game platform.  It really is a great system, and you'd be hard pressed to get another anywhere for this price with these components and this level of CS.  I do the iBuypower bet would not have been so helpful with me.

    One more comment and I'll get off my soapbox.  IB heat problem.  For those of you who read these things, I'm sure you've read about the Ivy Bridge processors take a lot of bad press on not too hot, especially when to be overclocked.

    Of course, I'm not overclocking an i7 k no 3770, but I can tell you that this platform has set up my 2600 i7 rig had exact same liquid cooling, and temperatures are about, if not on the same place.  Now, CoreTemp shows 27/28-28 / 28 c at idle.  He hit the middle of the 1940s at full load.  It is on the line with what showed my Sandy Bridge CPU.  I think you have heat problems trying models OC k unlocked.  The regular processors are fine and are actaully more thrifty in energy that the SB was, since they use technology more recent 22nm and have a physically smaller.

    In any case, thanks to new HP and I am now a loyal customer.  I still have my old (I say old, its about 2 years) Dell XPS rig in my home of cousins with a Phenom II x 6 1090 t., I check everyday to keep smooth updated and running (because he is a child of college) and this new platform HP Phoenix I did look like a toy computer.  No comparison.

    Hapkiman, thank you very much for the great review of your new computer from HP. It is obvious that the new direction is really in tune with the client. This will ensure a phenomenal future for society.

  • Upgrade CPU on HPE 171f

    I have a Pavilion HPE 171f running Windows 7 Pro and you want to upgrade a i7-860 processor to something faster.  Is this possible?

    The CPU you have installed is the top CPU optionally listed by HP.  There's an i7-880, which will give you a @360 increase in mhz, but it is quite expensive.

    If you are looking for an increase of severe performance consider upgrading the main drive to an SSD.

    Hi, recently I bought a Pavilion 15-bc018nl (X7H34EA #ABZ).
    I want to upgrade with a secondary hard drive using the port m2 (empty), but I was unable to find the right type of device (Sata or Pcie) m2.

    According to the "HP Pavilion Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide", these are the possible configurations:

    but I have no idea what kind of M.2 ssd should I buy...
    M.2 internal SATA port or the PCIe is?
    I also heard that in some cases the port of m2 is not enabled.

    So my question is: How can I know if the port of m2 is activated and M.2 SSD is compatible with it?

    Thank you much for the help!

    I finally got an answer from HP support, my port of m2 is successfully activated and works very well. It is sata and pcie compatible.

    Thanks for the help!

    Robert

    Hello

    I see you're confused
    First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
    This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

    Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

    If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

    However, to SSD drive question:
    I put t really no problem using an SSD.
    It must function as the SATA controller support

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

  • Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

    Hello world

    This is my first post here!
    I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
    The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

    I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

    My questions:

    1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
    2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
    3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

    Kind regards
    Paulo

    > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

    I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
    You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

    > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

    It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
    Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:
    Tecra R840 & Satellite R840 HARD drive replacement procedure
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU19037K0000R01.htm

    > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
    You can use an option included in Windows 7:
    Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
    Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
    Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
    When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

  • HP Envy 13-d001no: upgrade SSD on a new HP Envy 13 m2

    Hello!

    I just got my HP Envy 13-d001no. As I expected I really enjoy them until now, but I am interested the upgrade to a faster SSD with more storage on this subject. I'm looking at two different drives, namely the Samsung 850 EVO m2 and the Samsung PRO 950 m2. Both drives are m2 (2280) form factor, but they differ in that the EVO 850 uses a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s-interface while the PRO 950 has a PCIe interface.

    I am not fully aware of the differences between these interfaces. I know that PCIe allows faster speeds, but they are both compatible with the new HP Envy 13? I find anywhere which interface is the exact shape of the SSD factor currently installed and I don't want to take the risk of buying a new drive only for him is not to adapt or not to work on the laptop.

    According to the HP ENVY laptop (model numbers used: 13-d000 through 13-d099)-Maintenance and Service Guide of, this model supports the following:

    SSD drive
    Serial ATA M2 storage
    Support for the following SSD drive configurations:
    512 MB M2, SATA-3, support triple cell level (TLC)
    256 MB M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
    128 MB, M2, SATA-3, support the TLC
    128 MB, M2.2280, SATA-3

    On this basis, it would seem that the Samsung 850 EVO m2 is the correct upgrade for your computer.
