Just talking hypotheticals here. But it depends on the BIOS, if it ADDS support I am willing to try, if it claims to rewrite to only support 7th gen then I will not risk it.

Good day everyone, I was wondering if it was possible for my HP ProDesk 600 G2 mini to work with a 7th gen Intel i7, originally it comes with the i5-6500T and I got a banging deal on a used i7-7700T. As I read on HPs website it's officially not supported, it might be a stretch but is there anyway to flash a custom bios so that it does work? I have tried putting the i7 in the PC, it 'boots', the fan spins up and down, it shuts back down and then it boots up a second time and stays on but does not post (no screen). It's also not reachable over the network. Is there anyone that has experience with this and can help me or am I just screwed? Thanks for reading

It depends of what you're buying as a GPU and if that is going to be just one. also some really cheap ass 650w won't be able to delever the same amount of power on thier 12v rail as a proper 550w PSU, I recommend you take a look at this post. The higher the tier the 'smoother' and 'cleaner' the power. I would suggest a 650w tier 3 PSU.

The MX300 is pretty good although it uses some cheaper flash chips, the WD Blue is new thats probably why its user benchmarks aren't up to snuff yet. Which SSD is the most expensive?

How complete is your built atm? do you have everything except a GPU?

I prefeer seeing this happening before a new and faster USB protocol. USB C was really promising, how long has it been since it launched? 3 years?

Calm down guys, lol. I have corrected my error stop it plz

If you can wait, I would definitely do that. What GPU do you have now? I'm guessing its adequate.

Right, I thought that was 20gb/s my bad, I thought it would be nice to have something more mainstream that can do the same thing.

Ryzen has no iGPU no, about the burner GPU (the 980ti is a good option) could be quite cheap to run for a few months since you can sell it for about the same price. assuming pricing of a new 980ti doesn't fall to much.

Finally some real preformance, USB GPU docks maybe? Nevermind I thought Thunderbolt 3 was 20Gb/s but its 40 Gb/s

If you have any USB drives in your system this could be the cause

That's the thing, atleast for me my built is never complete or finished.

I think because of VEGA being this close you should wait for it, the leaks look promising (it probably will be GTX 1080 like preformance). But if you need a new GPU right now then just get the GTX 1080 ti

This would make more sense since thats what they have continued to do with the past 2 generations. Also how would a single GPU card be the same price as the frontier edition, the RX will be the same GPU just with 8GB of HBM. so it should be cheaper

It could be that you're just hitting a certain limit where the frames are depended on the CPU and not the GPU's there should be software that will show what frame times both components have

Althought that would not explain why it would turn on for a bit and then shut off if this were the problem I don't think it would power on at all.

Your CPU power delivery gets 12v from your power supply so does your GPU

And those fans might not be optimized for static pressure

I was asking because it could be one of the rails 12v maybe

What resolution are you running at?

Probably not no..

This might be a wierd question but can you smell any magic smoke? and is the harddrive spinning up?

With a 5000 dollar budget I would go X99

You could try resetting the CMOS see what happens
