Update CPU dc7900 sff

Hello

I have a DC7900 SFF with Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80 GHz socket LGA775. I want to upgrade my CPU with best compotible CPU. On processors Intel web site I saw CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S Processor with the same power (65W) necessary to last, but it is no longer sold.

What is the solution?

The Q9550S is not compatible with the motherboard of your computer desktop.

The processors in the image below are compatible with the dc7900 SFF PC. You can always find the processors on the second hand market. Make a Google\Bing search to locate a source. I'd go with the processor Q9650. Search on the HP part number.

As seen in the search I did on the part number for the Q9650, they are available. They are cheaper on the market, refurbished and second hand.

  • dc7900 sff: Quadro nvs 290 in dc7900

    Hello


    in my dc7900 SFF and I don't have a chance.

    I followed these instructions without result.

    "When a PCIeX16 graphics card is installed in the PCI onboard VGA connector black
    "and display ports will be disabled automatically."

    What was happening is not with me. When I have a pci-e card in the dark crack in the system
    stills boots in VGA. It's like the pci-e slots are not there.

    "To solve this problem the PCIeX16 first graphics card must be installed in.
    the white PCI slot. "Then do the following:

    It made no difference.

    "Starting the unit to the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup upward.

    Select the device, advanced integrated graphics subsystem options and enable the embedded video.
    By default the built-in graphic subsystem will be defined as disabled. »

    I have no video option integrated in the device options.

    'Save the changes and restart the device. Once the above steps are performed both
    display port and the VGA port will work in addition to graphs with ports for
    total of up to four screens. »

    As I said this is not the case. I've tried everything I can think and am now
    at a total loss.

    I bought an another NVS 290 pci-ex16, thinking the one I held should be defective, but
    It's exactly the same thing.

    I then bought a NVS 290 pci - ex1 in case the mentioned White slot was the little
    PCI-e slot. who has made a difference, he would not even boot into bios with
    This card is installed.

    In the BIOS of the safety device: there is no option video device
    in the devices on board: it just shows the serial port has
    Features: It shows Intel VGA on the irq 5
    In the device Options: it doesn't show VGA or integrated video.
    in Options of Bus: PCI Serr # generation (disabled) and PCI VGA Palette
    Snooping (activated)

    I tried all combinations but nothings working, I even updated the
    BIOS 1.08 to 1.26. I feel like pulling my hair now. Is there something
    I'm missing, is there any jumpers on the Board of directors who need to change or what? Any
    help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, John:

    Installation of a video slot PCIex16 black card should have automatically disabled the onboard video and the video card must have worked.

    I suggest...

    1. go to Device Manager and uninstall the integrated Intel graphics card and also uninstalling driver box.

    Shut down the PC.

    Unplug all connected to it... keyboard, mouse, monitor... everything.

    Follow the instructions to clear the CMOS.   See Appendix B, pp. 63 and 64.

    Install the video card and put everthing back together and see if it works.

  • Help! Computer HP DC7900 SFF freeze then BSOD

    Please help, my dc7900 SFF has been so frustrating. Just after the start of the login screen, I log in after a few seconds, the screen freezes all pixelated and a bsod shows for one second and then the screen turns off. The Tower of the computer itself is still on.

    I press the button for 5 seconds to hard reboot power and turn it back on, the screen remains black and the computer fans speed up to full power.

    Now, I rarely beyond seconds logon before it freezes again. So I can't access minidump files. Also, I tested the memory modules in another computer and the graphics card, and they are very good. The drivers in Device Manager are all updated as well. The monitor is also perfectly correct.

    Please help me!

  • HP DC7900 SFF: battery cmos HP DC7900

    Hello

    I have a HP DC7900 SFF refurbished running Widows 7 SP1.

    Everything's fine now, but as I've had the computer for about 18 months now, I find the CMOS battery will soon need to change the.  My questions relate to this situation.

    (1) I have not yet opened the computer so I'm not sure of the model battery.  I type lithium batteries CR2032 3v as him my old Packard Bell XP computer.  This is a BIOS battery commonly used - the HP DC7900 SFF also use it and if not what battery does use?

    (2) I downloaded documents HP regarding the HP DC7900 SFF, but I'm a little confused by the change information battery.  One document states that the BIOS got must be saved because they will be lost during the replacement process.  Is it true that I don't remember to do this on other computers?  If so, how can I save the settings?

    All the other tips about the CMOS battery change for this model would be very much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Yes, you can use the battery 2032 what to have on hand.

    The only thing that's going to happen to the BIOS settings when you remove the battery, it is that they will be set to their default values.

    If you have not changed the BIOS settings, then there is no need to save the settings.

    I make a few changes to the BIOS settings in my dc7800 and I remember just what they are.

    I never saved before BIOS settings.

    You will need to set the time and date after replacing the battery.

  • HP dc7900 sff (energy star): upgrade to q6600 or q9650

    Hi I want to upgrade to q9650 or q6600 and I have hp compaq dc7900 sff (energy star)

    and I want to know if the upgrade works and I want to know if I can change the power supply

    Thank you and power supply 400w

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the quickspecs for the dc7900.

    Can be found on page 9, taken processors supported.

    http://static.highspeedbackbone.NET/PDF/13029_na-2.PDF

    The Q6600 will not work, but will the Q9650.

    You cannot change the power supply.  It is the property of HP and they do not have a better for the SFF.

    The Q9650 will draw 30 more watts than a core 2 such as the E8400 processor, so I would not expect on adding a video card, etc., unless you install a vido cards as a GT 610 or HD 6450 low powered.

  • Upgrading power supply on DC7900 SFF

    Hi, I want to know what options are available to upgrade the power supply on my DC7900 SFF to support a graph card Radeon R6570.  Block of current output 250W PSU but the graphics card needs minimum 400W.  Did someone awatre of a secondary market PSU with > 500W that can fit into the SFF case?  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You are the very welcome.

    Yes, this diet is the P/S standard for the dc7900 CMT.

    It will be, in any way, shape, fit into the dc7900 SFF.

    As I posted above, I do not know of any alternative feeds that will work in the SFF.

    Try the card as it is and see what happens.  What a guy says it works fine.

    I guess it depends on how much of a load you put on it and the other factors.

    Use this power supply calculator to help you determine if it is possible to use the 6570 in your machine.

    I would like to know if the motherboard (chipset-socket) to a Satellite C50-A-1FW supports an i7-3612QM?

    Hello

    Take a look at this page-> PRODUCTS COMPATIBLE Intel
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-bd82hm70-PCH

    You will find processors supported.

    But beware: processor upgrade is not supported by the laptop manufacturer. Although the chipset would support the new processor, the BIOS may not support this CPU.

    In this forum, you can find many discussions on upgrading processors. In each thread, you will find information that these updates is always risky, and no one knows if it will finally work.

    Hello

    There is a list of the CPU support on page 1 of the first textbook on the following link:

  • HP Compaq DC7900 SFF - no support BIOS for USB keyboard/mouse

    I recently bought a lease out vintage 2009 DC7900-Windows 7 Home Premium running. It has connectors from the motherboard and BIOS support for a PS2 Keyboard and mouse. There also card mother support for USB but apparently BIOS does not support a USB keyboard and a mouse. Y at - it a BIOS update that adds support for USB keyboard and a mouse?

    Thank you

    Well, I found what seems to be the problem. My USB keyboard and mouse are connected to a KVM switch that in turn connects to the HP PC. The KVM cable provides keyboard and mouse via a simple USB connection. I have connected a second USB keyboard directly to another USB port, and as you say, the BIOS it supported. I then connected the USB keyboard and mouse for a simple USB hub and then to the HP PC, and BIOS does not recognize the keyboard once more. It would seem that the problem is that the BIOS of the PC HP does not support keyboard behind a USB hub connectivity. I have no detailed knowledge of USB connectivity but could guess that there must be a difference Protocol when I hub is in the Middle – obviously the PC must focus on a specific device behind the hub.

    In the end, I think I'm stuck just keep a separate keyboard (PS/2 or USB) around for those times when I need to communicate to the BIOS.

    I have another PC of the same vintage - a custom platform - and it handles the keyboard behind the hub very well. I wonder if all new PC BIOS handle this.

    Thanks again for your responses - very useful.

    Sometimes its advised to read other threads where the same question has already been asked.

    There was a similar question for Satellite C850D.

    Satellite C850D and C855D models support the same chipset and the same processor so info s Francesco should apply to your laptop model too.

    As mentioned in another thread: upgrading the CPU is not supported by the manufacturers of portable and these updates can be done only at your own risk, with no guarantee more than portable would go well after this exchange of CPU

    Looks like one of the easiest improvements.

    No need to program new microcode to the BIOS.

    No more large heatsink.

    Should be just plug and play.

    Don't forget the heatsink Silicone compound.
