  Thank you very much

  Years of working with HP workstations... I have always updated to the latest version of the BIOS available.  It is as simple as it gets, and HP does not provide BIOS updates without a good reason.

  You can update the BIOS to go into the BIOS, which is what I prefer to do rather than inside Windows.  I've never bricked a HP workstation with an update of the HP BIOS whatever it is, however.

  You want to follow the directions as much HP... some of the improvements Z620 BIOS are a little delicate, requiring a certain lower level to put in place before you come in at a higher level.

• HP Z400 workstation: upgrade power supply to my Z400

  I have a Z400 I need to improve at all about 850W POWER supply. I tried to install 2 graphics cards worked great for 10 minutes, then slow down to a crawl. I read that 2 GPU crossfire 450W there using owning the stock PSU is 475W I believe, the device must be capable of powering a server MOBO... not sure... Ideas?

• 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

  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.

  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...

• HP Z400: Z400 radiator Fan 4 pin 5 pin

  Dear viewers,
  
  I would like to know how I can fit a normal radiator Fan 4 pin pwm on pin 5 of the z400 mb. I have heard things about the use of the 5 original pin and rewire the 4 to 5-pin fan, but how?
  
  Thank you in advance,
  
  Melpie, foxsailor

  It is not as easy as you think.  HP carefully balances needs with the combination of the cooling fan and the heat capacity of the heat sink and apply a certain amount of gas PWM fan to make it work at a certain speed at the start.  The amount of gas PWM is specific and less PWM restriction will be provided as you increase the speed of the fan base in the BIOS, and as control of cooling of the motherboard, the infrastructure also meets specific environmental constraints (such as temperature rise).  So, even if I can dink with them to my heart's content, I let them HP standards.  If you want to dink, these key information:

  The Z400s use widely superior ability 'performance' radiator and the fan with the fan 92x92x25mm.  This is because most of the value for the Z400 processors are 130W TDP max.  On the other hand, processors dual processor Z600s to the value typically run at 95 watts max TDP.  As a result, they get usually the smallest fan 'general public'.  The more expensive processors run fast in less time... the Z400 usual processors are more brutal (solution of higher voltage, that is why they are more hot for the same fast speed).  The heat of two processors inside the Z600 is something that HP had to master.  To cool the hot single processor in a Z400 was probably easier, and the hot processor got bang HP more for your money.

  The Z400 radiator/fan performance belongs to HP 463981-001, and its fan is an AFB0912HH Delta, with the standard 4 son PWM input/output of the engine.  The 5th hole of the CAP could be empty if a heatsink / fan public and is busy with a rider from the land of hole 1 to 5, if it is a radiator/fan performance.  It is the motherboard know that performance fan is attached.  It cannot be said, running or RPM, what happens... So, there is room for impersonation here, but I'm not advisee who.  Those HP fans often have a HP reference number on their label (which is the direction of the air flow always).  Then, he often have a number of added modifier for HP, and in this case, it is - 7W32.  Which has to do with details of the number of threads, their length and the type of plug.  See the picture below:

  

  This is exactly the performance Z400 heatsink fan, and this is the one I would buy on eBay where I hung just the peak of.  You can not see well, but it's a record of 5 holes with the jumper on the barely visible ground here.

  Wiring: As conventional PWM wiring pins 1-4 are on the ground, + 12 v CC, rpm of meaning to the motherboard of the engine, and finally PWM throttle control of the mother board to the motor.  If you use a good silent PWM instead of a HP fan it will be too limited by the built in HP PWM of the butterfly and run too slow when plug you into the motherboard.  I discovered this with beautiful Noctua PWM fans...

  The motherboard knows if you have an installed 130W processor and will protest if you do not usurp the wiring or give her the correct wiring with a good fan (which I think is now that you know which fan to buy).  There are also other HP taken 5-pole fans 4 son used you can get off of eBay that works too, and then you can experiment around.

  You can retrieve a plug 5 pin a bad HP fan.  The ends of the Brown connector are usually intended for cooling case rear.  I also posted here on my Mouser.com source end of the plug.  You can extract the ends making metal if you pay attention while pressing the locking tab that you see, and you can gently bend back on this fragile locking tab thin then it will work again if you want to solder on a rider to the ground of the terminal 1 to 5.   If you run these HP fans in 12VDC, they run much too fast.   It's all an act of balance HP included.  Era Z620 and beyond the things have become more complicated.

• the upgrade of my Alienware m18x r2 RAPIDS Questions

  Hello yall I have some quick questions. My system is a gtx win8 - 675 m i7-3630qm Alienware m18x r2.

  I read that the 3840qm and the 3920xm are very similar and the price level for the 3920xm is not worth for an upgrade if money is a problem.

  In this spirit I think to go with the 3840qm, I just need to make sure that I have not upgraded the heat sink or the power supply if you choose the 3840qm.

  the next question is I'm tempted with going with the 3920xm only if I don't have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator, so I have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator?

  last question is after I or until I update my cpu do I need to uninstall or install anything?

  You can use the same any CPU heatsink upgrade you.

  For the i7 3840QM that you don't need to upgrade to the power adapter, you should be fine if you have the 240W.

• Z400: Z400 spare parts upgrades

  Hi all

  I have a Z400 (saved to unset however) which works very well... Installed Win10 and voila! New PC.

  Thanks to the Info confirmed here, I Rev. 1 with 6 RAM slots

  Current config

  Xeon W3505 (Dual Core, not even Hyper Threading)

  12 GB 1333 Mhz RAM (2 gb x 6) clocked at 1 066 Mhz. thanks for CPU

  2 x Quadro FX580 cards

  LSI SAS3041E PCI-e Raid card

  SAS drives of 3 x 300 GB connected to the card from LSI

  PCI-e NETWORK card

  475w PSU

  SAS hard drives are noisy and slow (at 15 k RPM?)... First thing I did was to buy a Samsung 500 GB SSD Evo 850 (first day on Amazon with a $30 discount!) I checked and with the new BiOS installed (3.60) I confirmed that I have AHCI support so I hope the new SSD will bring me a big change even if only executed at sata2 instead of speed sata3... When the player is here I intend to remove the card raid and sas drives and install an extra sata 2 TB for storing drive instead... Also to get a pci-e sata3 card. Don't you think that it is worth more just go straight to the motherboard? I also read that start from a pci-e card slows down startup vs runnig just drive directly on the port sata motherboard, although running speed is slower. What you think. ?

  Next thing I look at is the processor. Thought of the w3680 or w3690... According to the price to get the ram at 1333 Mhz.

  Any other suggestions of CPU? Maybe the other supported that are not specified in the quick form.

  the current cpu cooler is rated for cpu 130w, so I think I should be fine... .unless you have a suggestion for a better option.

  I'm worried about the cpu power draw. Although I will eliminate 3 forts and power.hungry sas drives, I wonder if the current power supply will be sufficient for this and, possibly, a new graphics card. Maybe the new RX480 from AMD?  What do you think of it.

  ?.

  Your W3505 is already a 130W processor, so you have the fan Performance.  Moving around with either the W3680 (Search eBay for SLBV2 and you'll find some now to 93,50 dollars).  Or, if you want to spend 3.33 to 3.46 GHz speed spend the extra and get the W3690 for about 145.00 off eBay.  It's a psychological thing... you will not be able to make a difference in the real world, and all of the other major features are identical.

  The ultimate would be X 5690, which has a code unique sSpec SLBVX and used eBay now goes for about USD 245.00.  I got mine recently carefully shopping for 220,00, but revision 1 Z400 cost me only 100,00 more shipping charges.  I needed to do this test...

  I posted here about adding a map USB3.0 HP Texas Instruments... Make sure that it fits in a slot PCIe Gen II so the speed of the bus he let USB3.0 speed max.  My post has information on 5.25 HP 3.5 adapter that will allow you to place my interface front of Akasa preferred in this and below mount your optical drive in the Bay of spare up there.  I have included in on the device of 4-wire Molex brand OK to SATA power adapter I get Mouser.com to adapt perfectly to this card.  You end up with 4 slots USB3, 2 front back/2.

  You have the SSD... Gen II Gen III vs is not really a problem... take to plug that directly into the SATA port 0 of the motherboard.  Empty all SAS.

  I posted here on how to remove your spectacular startup time... reading about it.  The forum search box above to find these things.

  I added fan Northbridge 40x40x20mm, HP 4-wire version, a card mother xw6600.  Mine is screwed to the top the normal silver Northbridge heatsink fins, and there are several ways to reach that.  The fan blows away from the motherboard drawing cooler air through the radiator at the bottom.  The same fan is used on the Z600 Northbridge.  There is a standard white PWM header of motherboard close to spare, and I added a 4-wire Noctua online LNA that he abandoned his speed (which I do for fans of HP Northbridge).  Which adds to the overall length and connect the fan reach the motherboard header.  The RPM speeds now appear in the temp/RPM section of the Z400 BIOS as a memory cooling fan.  So, the original header seems to have been designed for a cooler of memory, but it is perfect for the Northbridge cooling.  One of these 2 processors speeds would stimulate the heat on the Northbridge and it was my solution (but probably is not really necessary).  I don't know if HP has never made a similar for some high-end Z400s, but seeing things fan used on the xw6600 and Z600 inspired me to add that, for this Z400.  You can get the fans with the correct HP wiring looking on eBay and China where they were all made.  It is precisely the Delta EFB0412HD-7R49 and this amendment at the end refers to the controlled PWM HP 4-wire version.

  You want all locations of memory 6 filled by identical 2 or 4 sticks GB, with speeds of memory at 1333 to get the best out of engineering memory HP and the fact that they will be able to run at this speed with these processors.

  The 6 HP PCIe supplementary power wire cable provides much more energy than the standard ATX 75W max... I do not a problem here for your video card needs, within reasonable limits.  Your use of the net power will be down and not upward, probably.

• Z400: z400 upgrade help

  Hi I have an old z400 who was literally given to me for free. I want to upgrade, but I don't know if the parts I want would be compatible. After looking around I discovered that only certain PSU, cpu and gpu are compatible?

  Here are some quick specs:
  CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
  Intel Xeon W3520 @ 2.67GHz 32 ° c.
  Bloomfield 45nm technology
  RAM
  8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533 MHz
  Motherboard
  Hewlett-Packard 0B4Ch (CPU0 PROCESSOR) 58 ° C
  Graphics
  2470W (1920x1080@60Hz)
  1023MB NVIDIA Quadro 600 (HP) 44 ° c.

  ignore the temperature directly, I copied and pasted of speccy.

  So I guess I still have the stock psu that is 475w.

  I want to update the graphics card and processor, which means I may have to upgrade the PSU as well. maybe even the motherboard

  Ive been looking for decent gpu and CPU and I want to move to an i5 4460 and has 750 ti.

  I don't know if they are compatible but I am of course in the hope that they are. also ive been watching this food called Delta DF-650BB, because someone said it might be compatible. idk. also should I get a new fan? 58 ° C sounds like a lot for the motherboard.

  Im very new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  AUQA,
  
  The z400 uses the excellent Xeons LGA1366 and while the original specifications don't list them, there are results on the pass mark for 4-wire Clippers W3500 and W3600 6 - core, 6-core more X 5600 series 4 and 6-core Xeon. There are a wide range of some very good processors.
  
  The i5-4460 mentioned is for the taking of LGA1150 and therefore would not work on this motherboard, but a good choice of CPU would be the 4-core Xeon X 5677 @ 3.46 3.73 GHz - $1500 new, now about $60.  In my system LGA1366, X 5677 made a side CPU 7133.  Only a modern clock speed and single-thread performance is not bad = 1518. There is also the X 5687, who is 4-core @ 3.6 GHz 3.86. On the PassMark, a z400 with a X 5687 has a CPU of 7373 and mono-thread of 1577.  The current W3530 has an average rating of 6370 CPU which is not terrible, but the brand of single-thread of 1261 is a bit on the low side for any level of visualization work.
  
  There are 24, z400 on the pass mark by using the Ti of 750 GTX with a best score of 4 d being 4322.  NVIDIA presents the GTX 750 it for systems with a minimum of 400W PSU, while and the number of results in the pass mark must say it is not necessary to change the power supply.
  
  On any system of this age, updated the BIOS. In addition, the RAM, which is listed on 533 is likely to be DDR3 1066, while the X 5677 and other higher end of the DDR3 1333 CPU consumption. The z400 is triple channel so the best results will be to use the RAM in sets of three modules of the same size.
  
  An SSD wake things up considerably and I would say a Samsung 750 EVO. Regardless of the z400 uses as it is uprated CPU cooler is the one to use.
  
  See you soon,.

• Z400 disks with EFI partition not mounting after the Windows 7 Pro upgrade

  HP z400: after a repair/upgrade to sp1 of Windows 7 Pro (64), no matter what external disk with an EFI partition is not installed.  Player will be present in the BIOS and the management of drive, but without a letter. Cannot assign a drive letter.  All other discs mount correctly.  Disks with EFI partition will mount on other PCs.  All the drivers seem to be current and fuctional.

  I thought about it... after two weeks of puzzle, I finally found the cause.

  I run MacDrive 8 so I can play discs with HFS + formatting.  This program should be completely uninstalled and reinstalled after the upgrade.  I had turned it off before the upgrade, but it takes more than that.  Everything works now as expected.

  But wouldn't be INCE if Windows reads discs mac natively?

• Z400: "lost in the past..." I need guidelines Ram upgrade on a Z400

  How many Ram Win 7 can recognize and use in a Z400 Quad core?

  I just bought a Refurb factory because I have a legacy PC running 32-bit software. I used 4 GB of Ram in my previous core Dual 2 under Vista Ultimate and it was ok, but I want max processing power for video rendering with a bit more robust Ram memory. Looking around, there seems to be a split between people saying Win 7 can only recognize and use a maximum of 4 GB, which I find hard to believe. I also hear his depends on how many channels, you're behind the wheel and I think it is 3. It is the Quad 2.66 GHz configuration with 6 locations and I think 4 in use, and I think that the claim is that it can hold up to 16 GB, but I am confused about how this is done.

  According to the HP website, it seems that it will be an Intel Xeon W3520, 2.66 GHz, 4 MB cache, 1066 MHz memory, 4.8GT / s QPI, Quad-Core. Then, they advise the following:

  DIMMs must be distributed across all channels memory three for best performance. Each processor supports up to 3 channels of memory DDR3. In order to achieve a return at least maximum 1 DIMM must be inserted in each channel. To get full support 6-channel, 2 transformers MUST be installed.

  I don't understand this. I also do not understand if I can mix the memory sizes in the slots and remain evenly distributed and stable. I'll have to see if it comes with a 1Gx4 or 2Gx2. If I have a minimum of 2 open unused slots and I want to go back up to 8-16 GB of DIMM3s, and if it is still useful, should I start with 2 x 4 or 4 x 2, 6 x 2 or 4 x 4?

  Hello:

  Limitations of memory in 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems are mathematical.

  This article can explain how it works better than I.

  http://www.ZDNet.com/article/clearing-up-the-3264-bit-memory-limit-confusion/

  However, different versions of Windows have memory limitations as set forth in the list below.

  https://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/desktop/aa366778 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

  Bottom line... If you want to run more than 4 GB of physical memory, you must run a 64-bit operating system.

  Make sure to get the second version, you can upgrade with more flexibility and for the Z400 a very convenient way to tell if it's Version 2, rather than the old Version 1 is to see if it has 6 memory locations.  The old version had only 4.  Sellers on eBay often don't know that two versions exist.

  But when I finished the downgrade, the was'nt of backlit keyboard works even when starting. If vice-versa, the two windows now can not lit the backlit.

  So, is there any driver or program that I need to download to activate again the backlit keyboard?

  Because of the things that I had:

  1 reinstall the Lenovo Power Management driver

  2 reinstall the driver of Lenovo yoba management

  3 reinstall the BIOS

  4 reinstall Windows by using a recovery key (Windows 8 Original)

  5 Reinstall driver hot key (by Fn + space)

  6. the business Windows 10 64 bit upgrade

  7 reset all the BIOS settings

  I had read that Lenovo Z400 with 20220 model number does not come with backlit keyboard. But mine came with it, and I never let fall or damage my laptop anyway.

  Please help me, I really need the backlit

  Thank you very much
