Z400: More high end Z400 Build

Hello

I have an old Z400 (Gen 1 with 6 DIMM) and I was wondering what improvements I could do up the system at its highest?

In other words, I guess CPU is going to either the Xeon w3690 or x 5690 would be the CPU I could buy for the high-end system.

But what about RAM, I can assume that 48 concerts is the largest capacity (6 x 8 GB of DDR3 @ 1333)?

Also, it would be possible to start on a m2 as the Samsung 950 (using a PCIe adapter)?

The extent of the SSD go, would need to buy another adapter PCIe to SATA III @ Gbps (if I bought something like a Samsung 850 Pro)?

Also further than go spare parts, a DH-15 Noctua coolers would fit in the frame (I guess I must remove the envelope plastic on the RAM slots)?

Finally, someone has already tried something like a x 5690 overclocking? If so how high were you able to push (while remaining stable 24 x 7).

Thank you

Nelson

You will find lots of info here, and the best way to start is to use the search box at the top left on this page, because it targets this forum only.  For example, use it to find assignments like THIS.

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/business-PCs-workstations-and-point-of-sale-systems/Z400-aftermarket-upgrades/TD-p/5691838

You will find also information about the two major versions of the Z400 and you probably not a motherboard of generation 1 (I call it Version 1, and there are 2 Version If you have the second major version of the Z400).  The latter is what you have, if you really 6 instead of 4 media memory.  View on the first tab in the BIOS boot block date is another great way to say... it is 10/11/09 if you have Version 2 and 30/01/09 if you have Version 1.

AVID has a PDF on the Version 1 or Version 2 here.

You must read on Mainstream versus Performance heatsink thermal / fan for the Z400... that's all.  Most Z400s came with Performance that can handle hot 130W x 5690 max TDP processors.  That's what I'm running in our Version 2 Z400s here.

Update to the latest version of the BIOS in a first time.

Memory... this German company talks about Version 2 of 6 locations such as being able to run 6 x 8 GB for 48 total sticks, and they sell them too...  HERE. I have not tried and probably we certain that 8 GB sticks that work best for this.  Search this forum and let us know with a post to follow up if you do this.

Google "Z400 spare parts" for the list of what HP they are available and some part numbers.  For the X 5690 used on eBay search this place for its code unique sSpec SLBVX.  It works very well.

Welcome and good luck for your project...

    The GPUGRID project, where I want to participate more, prefer cards in the GTX 275 GTX 295 range. I won't buy one until we know if they will even in the case.

    I read that they may require an upgrade of the power supply; No information on this?  What about information on the question of whether the cooling is likely to be adequate?

    No need matching between new checks, just the graphics cards.

    Also, where can I find estimates on the number of watts of power these machines use now, so I guess if I can handle the heat of the use of the rise to power?

    Hello all; First time on this forum. Be gentle. I need to know what high-end sound card, I can improve this system, so I can run thx and high quality for surround sound, etc.

    You are the very welcome.

    I guess it depends on what you want to do.

  • Computer for Premier Pro high-end gaming: how much is too much?

    Up to what level the first Pro can take advantage of the features of a high-end gaming computer? I like create, render and burn Blu Ray shows large and considering the purchase of a new computer game with 32 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GTX TITAN X 12 GB video card and Intel Core i7 5930 K 3.7 GHz processor. However, I won't buy more power that the Premier Pro can put to work to help me create more quickly and return shows. What the reasonable stopping point in the choice of processors, RAM and video card features? Thank you.


    first mainly uses the cpu and the gpu for some video effects and color lumetri. If you want to go with the i7-5960 X, first can use all 8 cores. first is not able to go above 32 hearts (64 with hyper-threading), because of his programming software limits. 32 GB of memory should be plenty. If you are planning several other memory intensive programs open at the same time, you can go with 64 GB. the gtx x titan probably will not help that much, unless you do a lot of effects gpu & plugins and/or 4 k projects the ti-980 gtx is about 10-15% slower but much cheaper. the 970 gtx is a lot cheaper and would be fine with 1080 p projects and lite 4 k.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is really no way to do what you want to do.

    Here's why.

    You currently have 320 pixels and you want to show the 1920 pixels. This means that the software must do six pixels of a pixel that you provide. He basically has to duplicate them. He can do a little better with a mix, possibly using the current engine CC in Photoshop to do the job instead of Premiere Pro.

    Then, he must take 240 in 1080 and it's 4.5 pixels for everyone that provide you.

    Then you ask to play each image four times from 15 to 60.

    No offense, but you're asking to turn an ear of pigs in a silk purse.

  • How high-end SD to HD images?

    People,

    We had a wedding this weekend with two camcorders. Pulled large angles in SD.

    I need high-end from SD to HD to complete the project. I used before the Majic bullet 'Instant HD', but the current version is not compatible with CS4 CS5.

    CS5 compatible versio is planned for the middle of the summer. The bride can't wait that long

    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/featured-news/CS5-compatibility/

    Can you suggest an alternative software? If she has a trial version, it would be better.

    Thank you!

    You can try Dan-Isaac SD2HD workflow. I tried with some 480 x 720 SD footage and enhanced it to HD 1440 x 1080. I was really impressed; He remained remarkably crisp and clear. It certainly blows nothing first or After Effects can get out of the water (although the scale has been much improved in CS5).

    This workflow uses also completely free, open-source tools. But, it takes some time to get used to.

    1. download and install VirtualDub

    2 download and install Avisynth

    3 download SD2HD

    In the hd2sd_sd2hd.zip folder, there will be a file .txt with installation instructions. After everything is installed, create a new text document. Type sd2hd("SD_Master.avi") with SD_Master being the name of your file. It will be top of the range your video to 720i by default; to change the various parameters of this start, you can use in SD2HD.txt in the hd2sd_sd2hd.zip folder. Then save the file in the same folder as your video with .avsextension. Then, open this file in VirtualDub. You may want to install a video codec as Lagarith lossless to reduce the size of the file; You can select your compression method by going to the video-> Compression. Then go to Video and select Quick recompression. Now it's time to save your video, file-> Save as AVI.

    Hello!!

    Try to find the date of manufacture of a workstation Z400 - serial number [personal information]

    I don't know the Protocol HP...

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    Yes, that's right, June of 2012.

    To find the date of construction of any HP PC by serial number, you:

    Look at the 4th 5th and 6th of the characters as read from left to right.

    They must always be numbers.

    Thus, in the specific serial number you posted...

    The first "2" corresponds to 2012 (of course, it could be 2002 or 1992, but you know that the Z400 was not even heard at the time, so 2012 is the only possibility).

    The second 2 and 5 corresponds to the calendar week in 2012 when the PC was built.

    Your PC was built in the 25th week of calendar 2012 (end of June).

  • High-end non apple headphones does not properly with iPhone7

    I just bought the new iPhone 7 and discovered that my ear Bowers & Wilkins do not seem to be compatible with my new phone.  The sound works fine but the microphone and stop working after a pause control more then a few minutes.  I thought it was a question of headphones, so I have replaced, but still the same issue.  So for example I connect my headset into the adapter (supplied by apple), launch my music application, press play on the phone and the sounds of beautiful high definition comes out.  I can then press pause on the microphone control, press a second time to play and it works fine as do volume adjusters.  However, if I press pause and wait a few minutes, the remote control on the speaker cable does nothing.  The sound still works if I hit 'play' and 'pause' on the screen.  As soon as I unplug the headphone jack and plug back in, the remote works again, until I pause for a longer period.  It seems to stop responding when asleep screen and pause mode.  I disabled the screen lock to see what is happening.  Now pause mode for more than five minutes, the remote works but the screen stays on!  If at this stage, I turned off the screen (paused).  Two minutes later, distance mic and controls do not work.  So certainly associated with iPhone screen go to sleep.  Does anyone else have this problem or the solution.  This problem will not occur on the iPhone from my friend 6.

    Apple is aware of an issue affecting the controls on the headphones by the port of lightning and working on a fix.
