I love these HP workstations! Great video 😊🎉
I'm currently putting together a Z620 with 2x E5-2697 v2's (24 total cores, 48 total threads), as well as an RTX 2060 and 128 GB of PC3-14900R memory. These systems are such a joy to work on, and the BMW-designed cases are absolutely gorgeous.
Hi, I'm doing something similar but with a z640. I'm having a POST error that I have been trying to diagnose for weeks now without success. Have you encountered a similar problem?
Great PCs these. I've the baby brother pc a Z420 with a 3060ti and 16gb ram and a E5-2667v2. Does me great and I got the bare unit for 50 euro before upgrades😊
@@jnchacon I have not. I suggest trying to reseat the CPUs, memory, and any expansion cards in the system. An improperly seated part can cause POST errors.
@@redleader6442 , yes I did that with every part. I'm waiting to get another z640 an do cross checks 😅
@@jnchacon There is another type of error these systems have that have to do with the second CPU and RAM card not making a good connection when inserted. I'd carefully clean the pins of the power and data connectors on the card and see if that solves your problem. Unless you only have a single CPU, that is, which would mean this doesn't apply to you.
Am just migrating from the HP Z420 running esxi 6.5 (Win 2019 server(s) VMs) to a HP 640 running Proxmox 8.0.4 (running Win 2022 server(s). HP workstations are rock solid. FYI - I updated another Z420 to latest/last bios and can install Win 11 no problem. ie: MS/Win 11 is happy to have it installed. No trickery to get Win 11 working.
Nice machine. I got a z820 from eBay for cheap because it wasn’t working but unfortunately I needed to replace the motherboard. Did you find the key lock? If not, it’s by the side panel latch.
These things are a gold mine! I just got a Z440 and put an Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 18 Core 36 Thread CPU in there. Got some cheap DDR4-2133 ECC RDIMM (4x16GB) and I was off to the races. Great UnRAID machine!
wait what ? you put in a 18 core CPU ? is this for real, I thought they only supported 6 cores ? I own the Z400 and Z800
I just got the Z800 for free, is beautiful shape and just pimped it out and is now my main workstation for video editing and 3D printing things, was totally free $0
The best thing I've ever gotten that was trashed was an i5 7400 system, with a 128gb NVME boot drive and a 1tb HDD, it was in with a bunch of other computers that were out at the curb at a house that I think had been sitting in probate for a long time and some other family took it over and cleared all the old lady's stuff and the stuff her son that last lived there with her, there were a couple Compaq A64 era Sempron machine that I just stole the HDDs and optical drives out of since they had buldging caps and were based around bumpgate era nvidia chipsets. I ended up with one working AXP Sempron machine out of the two that were there. The HP i5 7400 system didn't seem like had been used much at all, looks like it was probably purchased in 2019, and they guy setup Windows and then partitioned it off and put Ubuntu on it and didn't use it much either, the Samsung SSD only had 13 power on hours on it a few days after I reinstalled Windows on it and played around with it and the HDD was at just under 100, I think the SSD more agressively sleeps than the HDD spins down so most of the hours may have been me.
This thing still outperforms modern budget low end CPUs by a lot. I'm usually not a fan of prebuilt computers and i prefer building them myself but i always liked those OEM workstation/business grade computers. They might have some proprietary parts and connectors but they usually don't fail that often to need replacement parts so it's fine
This HP Workstations are my Main-PC for diverse Games, Applikations and www. It runs WIN 10/ 11. My Systems are 14(!) Years old!✌️
Finally a video about Z620. I own a Z620v2 as my main editing workstation - With a E5-2696v2, 160gb of ddr /32gb dimms for a max of 384gb - yes - it does work up to 384, and a RX 480 8GB. Got a 2nd CPU but no CPU Riser to install it yet, that's the next upgrade though. One note - they're really reliable. Renders 24/7 and edits on off-time. Gotta say, nice video to cover an unsung hero! Cheers !
What a beast!
Great video
Absolute beast.
You can put 2x 12 core xeons into those. I have several of these still running in the company.
I have a maxed out Z620, 128GB DDR3, dual CPUs, a real beast, even now! I really like the way these older Zs were built, a real tank! Keys lock the release handle on the side panel.
Not maxed out completely. Mine has 192GB of 1866mhz RAM😛
@@MikaelKW1 I Have the v1 motherboard in an HP z620 and it will not work at 1866mhz, it simply reverts to 1600mhz. Only v2 motherboards have support for 1866mhz and the v2 versions of the Xeons.
Are you sure about that ;P Max is 384 ;)@@MikaelKW1
Note - mine are at 1600Mhz though - no 32gb dimms that I know of at 1866 :/
@@ReelGoldstar How? Isn't the max for DDR3 16GB per stick?
Some of these older workstations are still great machines to get your hands on, especially if they are being given away.... I have just managed to get my hands on my old CAD workstation which is a Lenovo P720 and whilst the current specs are not huge (1 x Xeon Silver 4210, 16GB RAM, Quadro P2000), there is scope for a lot of pretty cost effective upgrades in the form of a spare CPU slot and up to 384GB of RAM plus 2 x gen 3 M.2 SSDs. I was thinking about using it as my regular PC and putting a decent GPU in there, but even though I could potentially end up with 20 physical cores and a huge amount of memory, the individual core performance is not much over the Ryzen 5 2600X that I am currently running, so I think I shall be using it as a good base for a home lab setup as my wife wants to dive into networking and cybersecurity so running a load of virtual machines will be easy.
Z800 and z820 please :)
these are a great way to use up R registered ram
👍Super
My last employer just threw away a full pallet of these. All but one were in good condition. That one the prior IT guy had put in a couple GTX cards, multiple processors, and maxed out the ram and drive to run as a transcoder. Worked for about a day before smoke started pouring out.
Probably poor cooling for so much stuff :D
it is a really nice computer, i have on here too. it runs perfekt on linux, at the moment a "linux mint" version. a bit annoying is the really long power on boot cycle time
good dedicated pihole machine
Interesting, the Quadro uses Thermi GF100 yet it's still a single-slot card. Though it's been cut-down a lot.
Hi, thanks for this video. I have a HP Z620 and I need to add Wifi . I found a PCIE Card that is Dual Band Wireless-AC 1200Mbps PCIE WiFi Adapter with Bluetooth 4.2. I have been trying to find a USB 2.0 9Pin interface at the motherboard but I have noy found it. Does it have this interface: USB 2.0 9Pin? I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks a lot
The ONLY difference between a Z420 and a Z620 is the Z420 is missing the connector for the second CPU daughterboard.
how loud can teh fans get? I am planning to buy one buy I don't want it to be to noisy
My first Z Workstation is Z620.
I love the "Quick Release" or "Tool Less" design.
And also i love how neat is the inside.
But i really hate the "Memory Training Error". I use original HP DDR3 ECC Memory.
Not 1, but 3 Z620 in my workplace are have "Memory training error".
But the other Z620 are realiable.
What i learned when "Memory Training Error" happen, i can press F1 keyboard, still continue load to Windows and continue operating.
But it become a pitfall if not solving the error earlier. Because the Processor workload becomes peak 100% (i read using Performance monitor at Windows Task Manager), and everything become sooo slow, and lagging. When i use it to streaming using vmix.
But when i'm not start the streaming, the system still operating well, the CPU not peak to 100%.
Another thing i hate about Z620, some another Z620 in my workplace , maybe 1 or 2 unit, randomly got 5 beeps error. So i have to doing troubleshoot according to Manual troubleshooting guide.
So i hate Z620 is not so stable.
Z640 in my workplace are more stable. Maybe only 1 Z640 experiencing "Memory Training Error" of it's DDR4.
I will try the machine to see if it gives any errors :)
👍👍
Old workstations make the best homelab servers. Quiet. All those slots to add fast nvme storage!
Great idea!
cool machines rock solid , i see quite a few still around doing good work .. but so annoying to work with imo . esp using them at home lots of bespoke parts you dont usually have lying around . and a well used system those fans make it sound like a 747 at load ... still cool though
Hello brother, I have a HP Z620 PC, processor, xeon e5 2620 GPU, AMD R7 370, 12 GB RAM, sometimes it beeps 6 times at normal speed and does not turn on, and it does this 5 times every 3 or 4 seconds. Sometimes I remove and insert the graphics card and it works, sometimes I remove and insert the RAM. It's working, I unplug it, hold down the power button, plug it in again, it's working, I don't understand why, bro.,
HP Workstation is best, i have ProLiant ML 10 Gen9 and working perfect with Windows11 (Rufus)
The workstations are always the most interesting dumpster dives - you never know what ur gonna get. Could be total crap productivity could be monster workstation
Max out the ram, load it up with drives and run it as a proxmox server.
the keys are for the cover latch
Yes, we saw it immediately, but Victor didn’t see it as he was looking in the camera 😊
12:51 Clearly it is not Yamamoto 😉
how much power does it draw from the wall?
depends on the cpu but 2x12c system 110w idle, 240w active
Crysis can i run it ?
Hi. You cant use V2 CPU on this board. Because boot block date is old.
Where can i get more info about this?
videokaart?
Tell me Bart - isn't that the nicest design - i got a Z820 - silent power humming.
C600/X79 chipset - i7 alike hardware (y/n)
explain me the patch issue and networking . .
patch issue and networking?
Proxmox or Unraid machine 😁
have u decided.
Why make the bios when it's just going to be remoted in lol..
I wish i oculd find cool systems in the trash
nice pc maybe they chucked it away cause no hdmi
Good vid, but why lie and say you found it on the street 😢
