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.

Here are some links about this process:

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.

  • Portege A100 (PPA10A) - where to get spare parts?

    Hi all

    I have a Portege A100 PPA10A, he is old enough and the cable from the Touchpad to the motherboard is broken. N that anyone know the part number for this cable or knows where I can get the part number?

    I sent an email to a place called "spare = parts Warehouse", but they had trouble finding the part

    But if anyone knows for sure, that would be great.

    Kind regards

    Widget

    Message was edited: link has been removed

    Hi Widget,

    To be honest, I doubt anyone here can tell you the part number of this cable. It s only a user to user forum where you can talk with normal people like you and me.

    In my opinion, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them:

    Good luck! :)

  • Spare part Portege M930 digitizer pen

    Hello

    I'm having a little difficulty finding replacement/pens digitizer replacement for my Portege M930 - I still have the pen that comes with it, but I've been known to lose this kind of thing, so I want to be ready for the inevitable and know where I can get spare parts before I'm stuck without one!

    Please note that I'm only after the pen supplied with the M930-l am aware l can use wacom pens or other digitizer pens but I want really the same thing, as I have so it will still fit into the laptop, as soon as the pen must remain separate I lose them all the time and $ 30-40 a pop that will become expensive quickly! I have looked through the manual and cannot find a reference for her number, nor has google found a lot of use.

    Do you know where I can get another feather of digitizer M930? =)
    Thanks for any help! ~ Ashes C

    I guess if you want to use exactly the same pen that has been delivered with the Portege M930, you should contact Toshiba service provider authorized in your country. The service guys should be able to order this part (if available) directly from the main warehouse of Toshiba

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion, ideal for original spare parts from Toshiba is an official authorized maintainer because they are able to order all the parts of Toshiba, then you should get in touch with the guys.

    Here is a list of all the FSA so you can check where is an ASP in Dubai:

  • Tecra A2 - need of spare part

    Hello

    When I bought my Tecra A2, I realized that the top above the keyboard, which covers the speakers, was different to the images of this laptop. On the continuation of the investigation I discovered that there are supposed to be more than just the power button buttons, but it's apparently only for non - EU that laptop versions.

    However, all the buttons exist under the plastic Panel and are fully functional and usable. Toshiba UK told me that it is not possible to obtain one of these panels to replace that holds all of the available buttons.

    If anyone knows where I could get this specific part like a spare part of? I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

    Hello Hilmar

    You're little Sherlock Holmes ;)
    After my own research I found a very similar to Tecra A2 unit.
    In my opinion the A40 Satellite has the same part of the cover with control buttons.
    You may use part of the cover of the A40 on your Tecra A2.
    However, you can try to contact the service partner for more detailed information.

    Good luck

    Hello John

    I put t live in the United Kingdom, but there is not a lot of opportunities to find one:
    -order a service partner
    -check if you can find a defective unit by ebay and use it for spare parts or
    -Google bit.
    Maybe you will find a shop where you can order the necessary parts. If this is not the case in the United Kingdom avoid any problem to order the cover from another country.

  • ZBook G2: ZBook G2 - need id data or a picture of the disk of 512 GB Z Turbo - spare parts # 813138-001

    I'm looking for the identification data or a photo of the 512 GB Z Turbo Drive for a ZBook G2 module.

    I couldn't find spare HP part #: 813138-001.  Not even a product number.

    I know that this option has been introduced in June 2015, until late in the lifecycle ZBook G2 - Quickspecs.

    The price of the module that is sold as a spare part is way out of my range - about a$ 1,300 i.e. $ 900.

    I'm looking for a less expensive alternative - not as an option of HP or generic equivalent part.

    I know that this part should support PCIe 2.0 x 2, form factor of m2 and the format 22 x 60 mm.

    Your help will be appreciated.

  • authenticity of hp spare parts

    How I come to know that, the alternative presented by HP technician speakers are authentic. ??

    Thnx.

    Well... usually each piece for computer laptop/Tablet/etc has two numbers on it (or box part entered).

    one is the number of product (P/N)...usually ends in - B21, the second number is a number of spare parts (SP) of the usually ending by a - xxx, where xxx is a number (for ex-001).)

    The first is indicating a number of option, the second is identical to the original replacement.

    The first number may be different from the original part (different manufacturing, different revision, etc.), but the number of MS will be the same. This issue of alternatives is what used HP Tech/engineer to order a spare part for your problem, and that you (the customer/consumer) ensures that the repair will put your laptop/Tablet/server back, etc. for the specifications of original (or better).
