    Question HP Pavilion p6267c motherboard replacement

    So my brother has a hp pavilion p6267c desktop from 2011 and wants to upgrade it. After looking up aftermarket support it has ZERO upgradability so he wants to build it in that pc case. I've heard hps have specialty shaped motherboards? or can I just get any micro atx motherboard for it? and if...

    Question Power supply cable identification?

    So I am about to throw together a "pc" from a bunch of spare parts and wires form my brothers extra supply of stuff, but he's out of town and I need some info regarding the psu. This is a hp compaq 6200 pro sff that now has 32gb ram, an i7 2600 but needs a gpu. I have a 320W psu to replace the...

    Question gt 1030 vs gtx 750 ti

    So I currently have a gt 1030 passively cooled graphics card with an i7-2600 cpu in a hp compaq 2400 sff. I have been happy playing games like Monster Hunter World, war thunder and battlefield 1 with it slightly overclocked (actually runs quite well) but I want to play tomb raider and...

    Lenovo 3 vs 3i vs vivobook

    So I am grabbing a laptop for college very very soon and of all the ones I've come across for good deals are Lenovo's, I'm down to a few choices, an ideapad 3, 3i or a vivobook 15. all with i5 cpus and around $400. My big question is is any one better than the other? I'm leaning heavy towards...

    Question Are prebuilt computers worthwhile ?

    My monitor is already wall mounted and for the placement there is nowhere on the floor to set it that I don't walk through unfortunatly. My room is VERY small so a small build that sits on the desk is really my only option. Although if I did have space for an mayx build I would probably prefer...

    Question Are prebuilt computers worthwhile ?

    The mitx build for myself is because I have minimal space to store it, no room to set it anywhere but on the desk and I need it to take up very little space. As for the other pc the size was not a big factor for it but budget was for sure. The listed one seems pretty great without breaking the...

    Question Are prebuilt computers worthwhile ?

    My brother has asked me to give him a list of parts for a new pc as he wants to upgrade from his one from 2009. Size doesn't matter so I looked between building one myself piece by piece or getting a prebuilt. I want to build one as I have had people help me go through and peice one together...

    [SOLVED] Limitations of my existing PSU ?

    I completely get the need to upgrade from my first one, especially since its like 12 years old or something like that. it will likely become a second pc meant for school and stuff that ill keep around. As for the Motherboard I feel really stupid because I honestly skimmed over the usb ports on...

    [SOLVED] Limitations of my existing PSU ?

    This is so much info that is very much needed, THANK YOU. After looking at the builds and comparisons I definitely feel like I want to look into a new sff pc. The largest reason for trying to upgrade this one is sentimental value, first computer that I got and have just been slowly chipping away...

    [SOLVED] Limitations of my existing PSU ?

    Would it be possible to simply get a different case for a regulars psu and use that instead? I would want one that sff preferably as I like the smaller size. If I somehow did find one would a 320 psu be enough or should I go higher? and where would i get a aftermarket case anyway, unless I can...

    [SOLVED] Limitations of my existing PSU ?

    I have considered getting a bigger psu and simply setting it outside the case as that would be the only option as there is no aftermarket psu that replaces the odd shaped one I have. I know that there are other hp sff that have bigger psus and I have thought about just getting a new case for...
