Posted June 30, 2014 I was given these parts to build a PC for one of my Dad's co-workers. He wanted to upgrade his current PC, a HP EliteDesk 800 G1, with a GTX 770 for accelerating his art projects. He soon discovered that the PSU in the HP was a pile of propriety dog shit. Actually that pretty much sums up the HP. Nothing on it was standard. The motherboard had proprietary connectors on it, the heatsink mounting holes where none standard and the case had a different size PSU and wouldn't accept standard ATX PSU's. So basically he had to order a new case, a new motherboard and a new PSU all for the GTX 770. Specs: CPU: Intel 4770 Motherboard: ASUS H81M-A RAM: Generic 8GB 1600mhz GPU: ASUS GTX 770 DCUII Case: No idea, looks alright though PSU: Corsair CX 600M The horrible generic HP The proprietary power connectors for the motherboard A PCI-E 6 pin has the same pins as this and will fit in the header however the wires are different Yet another power cable for the motherboard. Thank's HP This i found weird. The power supply does not actually have Sata or Molex. Instead this cable plugs into the motherboard to give you them. Here is the heatsink. Note the contact patch with the CPU is not actually centre with the rest of the heatink. The actual mounting holes are close to LGA 2011 and are different to LGA 115X. This is what i ended up with. This is by no means pretty but i did the best i could with this case. Plugging in the power connectors for the video card was extremely difficult Hopefully this is the last time i will be seeing this PC.

Posted November 14, 2014 I my grandma's HP uses non-standard mounting holes for the heatsink, which pisses me off, since the stock heatsink is woefully inadequate. Like, 75 watt TDP instead of 100 watt TDP.

Posted June 8, 2016 Wouldn't you recommend just tossing in a quadro card since he was going to have to shell out money to basically replace everything but the cpu anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
