I thought this video was better THAN your previous, but THEN I read the thumbnail 🤣
You explained the power supply adapter plugs really well. I could only find 2 video that actually showed it. Thank You!!
Glad I could help
Thanks! I used your idea for the USB3 cable. Bought one and stripped some of the two wires, soldered them together and wrapped them in electrical tape. No more F1 to continue! Did this for a case swap of a ProDesk 400 G2.
Usually i saw some builds that has an fan error but man that was cool
Depends on the optiplex series for the adaptors
I have a 3010 and didn’t need any adaptors for another psu
thanka lot man , i just bought 400 MBs for the same model to remarket it in my country , I knew it was possible but you made it dead sure.
awesome, they are great boards, easy to swap and run rock solid!!
just finished jumping the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 headers. I decided to solder jumpers on the back of the motherboard, i didn't dare to ruin the case I/O cables by splicing them since i want to upgrade in the future. Thank you for your explaining the headers layout since HP is very protective of their innovations (switching 2 pins and calling it proprietary )
I put a 1245 v5 CPU in the SFF case and it was throttling like crazy (my barebones kit came with the little cooler, not the big one). Finally got all the parts today and it works so well, it was a super fun project. Still gotta figure out the chassis fan tomorrow, I think my problem is I connected my case fan to the molex connector.
thank dlm tech garage hi was looking for work around for usb 3.0 and your video help allot me it on a hp prodesk 600 sff the are the same as hp z240 for my usb header i did the same but i ground my wire to the case it work to it ground
nice, yea I thought about doing that too but wanted something a little more oem looking.
you answered my question , even when i didnt ask hahah, great vid ready for part 2
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and part two drops Friday
Nice! I'd like to do this for the z420 or z620-I will keep this as helpful reference. Thanks for all the information.
Any time!
My first decent budget pc was an hpz440 workstation with 32gb ram and a xeon e5 2640 v4 for around 245 dollars. then i put in a 1650 gddr6 open box from microcenter and it only cost me like $130 without waranty. then I did a case, motherboard, and psu upgrade for like 200 dollars. i was able to put a 2080 in there and in total it was only like 600. my sister now uses the pc but it was literally the best purchase of m ylife.
Great value
Great video thankyou, Do you know if there's away of getting rid of front chassis fan not detected. I've removed the old fan there is no space in the new case
I just added a small fan plugged it in and mounted it somewhere hidden
thank you for figuring out some of these dell n hps front psanel pins...its a pain...ive sold a few older pcs n nice to figure out the pinoit...who knows a pc like this one may ve next one I sell.
Ive been flipping these left to right cause of the price to performance and they are so much easier to case swap and mod.
@@DLMtechgarage yeah I can't blame you! I'm working on a 20$ hp omen..had a r5 1400 ..a 650w inland bronze..keeping n painting n modding the case..just bought son a Asus b450 n I got his gigabyte b450..16gigs oloy 3600mhz ram was like 60$ just got the red n black msi 1050ti..outta look n do good :) my cuz brought me a alienware mobo with a i5 7400 in it and may fix it up next..seen your gtx 980 or 960 vid n u was using a i5 7400 with it n looked like it did good gaming bn a lil newer than 4th gen or so Intel or even 1st gen ryzen that 7400 will outdo a few ryzen3 and 5 chips :) I'm not a hater I like both especially when free or a deal :) saves me a lil n I decide to buy parts n build it up n find a home for it :)

Hello. I have z240 board which i bought separately. I dont get it, how to turn the motherboard on? What cables did you connect to power on?
Great video.. Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching!
Great video, it helps me out a ton!!! I have the same pc but I have an i5 6500 with an M.2 SSD, you think this changes anything about the process?
the m.2 might change things only because i believe they mount different but I'm sure you can find a way to secure it but other then that everything else is that same. glad the video help and thanks for watching.
Any chance you can take a closer look at the pin outs on the adapter 6 PIN end?...far too many adapters out there that say are compatible with the HPZ240 and just dont work when they turn up. Knowing what pins go where would be a big help.
I just went with the ones the specifically say hpz240 and never had an issue. I would look up the pin out but I am not too good with that stuff.

This is sick dude.
Thanks!
Thanks for uploading the video. I have two questions.
1. Do the SFF and Tower models have the same motherboard?
2. What is that thing at 23.20 that you are using to power on the computer?
Thanks
they are slighly different, and I use a cheap button I found on amazon.
i had a hp elitedesk 800 g1and its pretty similar to this. I turned it into a gaming pc, doing case swaps and GPU upgrade and what not, got it working around september of 2020 it worked pretty well there are some weird issues i came across but nothing major. Then around about a month ago i upgraded my CPU and mobo so i no longer run this system, fast forward just a few days ago my brother wanted his sff hp pc (same like mine) to be transferred to a new case that he bought, so i just replicated what i did with my hp back then but to my surprise it didn't work. I tried everything to pin point what's causing it to not boot. After hours i finally came to the conclusion that it was actually the PSU adapter that causes it lol, its weird though how it wasn't broken when i was still using it but as soon as i use it on my brother's pc it just wouldn't work, and i tried it on my old hp mobo as well and it also wouldn't work. I still have a few tests i wanna do to see if its actually the adapter or not because i might have put the power switch + and = backwards so idk, imma try to do it tomorrow but if it still doesn't work imma just ask my brother to buy a new adapter.
I have ran into issues with adaptors going bad. taking them apart, some of these companies do a poor job with the solder. had one that it would work when you would wiggle it. the one I bought seems to be the best one I have found. this case swap is actually my favorite compare to the other oem's.
@@DLMtechgarage oh ok thats pretty interesting, im gonna try to wiggle it a bit to see if it'll work. Thanks for the tip.
Hi All. Would the Elitedesk 800 g1 be the same connections for USB2 and USB 3? I think I read some where it was but ???🤔🤔🤔🤔
its the same. did a video on it too. will post a link, drop a sub and check out my other case swap stuff too
czcams.com/video/Zxw_4KV5DHM/video.html
hello, excellent tutorial, I'm changing the case, and I want to know the name of the front USB adapter, please.
links and names in the description for everything i used
You can try using thin cardboard to make IO shield cereal box is good two-way tape or glue it to new case
interesting idea, one that I must try!!
Hi. Thank you for the great video!
I am trying to do exactly the same thing to Z230.
But If it’s Pinouts are different from z240, will I fry the z230? Or it will just give error or won’t boot?
not sure, they appear to be similar and typically oem manufacture kind of keep the generation similar in the design but I'd hate to say for sure.
@@DLMtechgarage thank you for your reply.
On my Z230, I tried jumping usb2.0 but “usb2.0 is not connected” showed up. I put the original cable back, but now the same message and alarm keep coming up. I F1 to boot and inserted USB for my wireless mouse into the front panel 2.0 USB sockets, both of them, but they still work.
Maybe I messed up something lol.
@@koomei2 maybe plugged in wrong,
i keep getting 90e power supply fan not detected after new psu is installed. I am using the cable you suggested from amazon and Seasonic FOCUS GX-750, 750W 80+ Gold. any advice? I also updated the bios. Your video allowed me to consider doing this build. Thanks!
reading the forums, everything points to a power supply issue. forums state that the sensor is designed to detect failing power supplies, but in this case, i believe the seasonic focus if i am not mistaken has zero rpm mode which would trigger the motherboard to not detect the fan and cause an error. this technology came out later after the hp system was built. I would try plugging in the old psu just to test the theory but ultimately you would need a psu without that feature.
Hello. Which cpu fan cooler you used because I have an old Intel CPU fan cooler from a 775 socket and it doesn't fit
I bought a cooler master fan cooler for the socket 1155 and it fits with this motherboard
7:00 Oeh I guess i could also 3d print a plastic nut, hmm. I've found so many uses already for my 3d printer in pc repairs. Like drive brackets, fan shrouds, gpu bracket and sorts of parts.
I need to get into it!
So you still need adapters. my dell 7010 board plugged right into thermaltake PSI and the fans i just repinned the connectors. Super simple
not really. the power buttons and such just plug in but the usb require a little modding but nothing terrible.
I have a problem with the front io usb 2.0 conector. I have an hp elite desk 800 g2 sff and the usb conector has 12 pin its different to the one showed in the video. Could you tell me which pins i have to jump?
I think I have a specific video on that.
Can I still use the Front Audio and mic in the front i/o after doing the jumping wire trick?
yup, everything works fine in fact the audio requires no modding what so ever. part 2 of the video shows and demonstrates everything working. will post a link below.
czcams.com/video/VfHS2JwG_6w/video.html
Hey u think these steps will work for the hpz420?? I want to to this with that pc and it’s my first pc build I think I can do it
not sure, mobo looks similar, and I have found hp did not change too much around that time line. def something to give a chance. the forum is where I figured out how to do the swaps along with matching pinouts from the case wiring.
Hi, my case don't have usb3 / usb2 front panel. Do y have quide howto cheat motherboard to think that there is connection?
i think that yor video explaned that :D
I've done this PS mod to a HP elite 8200 and a Z240 with a 575W PS but when I try a new 650W AZZA PS it works on the 8200 but does not power on on the Z240. Same 24pin to 4 pin cable. The Z240 sill works with another ATX 575W PS. Any clue?
z240 is pinned differently and specific, I have found that if you don't have that adaptor the psu's won't work with her wattage psu's
Hi, great video thank u for do it, I want to do the same on hp prodesk 600 g2 sff, but, the pins of the yellow connector are different, how do I find out which one I have to jump ?? (pin 7 and 8 is blank) and the rest of pin (1-6 / 9-10) not
never tried tinkering with one of those. I just follow the pins to their respective buttons and leds, draw a diagram and make my own pin outs.
@@DLMtechgarage hi, thanks for answer, i have update: on the hp prodesk 600g2 the usb conector have 12 pins not 10 pins; 1-2 pin (power +v5), 3-4 pin (d-) 5-6 pin (d+) , 7-8 pin (ground), 9-10 pin (blank), 11-12 (????unknow), i tried (with a lot of fear...) jump the 8 pin with the 12 pin and works!!!! not error during post!!!, the 3.0usb work like u show on the video!!!
@@felixyep6551interesting so it's kind of like the z240 where the extra pin is a signal ground for the error. Nice!!
@@felixyep6551 How are you doing? I follow this same way, but my OS reports Unknown USB device...do you know how to fix it?
Awesome video.
Ive got the Z230 that I moved into the case of another prebuilt. It powers on but I don’t get any signal on my monitor no matter which display output I use. Reset the CMOS and reconnected all of the hardware I originally took out. Any ideas?
the power cables adaptor has to be correct, many order the wrong one for the other models and have that issue. pinouts are different.

Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, did you do a video on Optiplex 7010 SFF case swap?
Yea got a how to guide that covers that series on the channel. It's the same as the 90 and 30 series optiplex. talks about the adaptors needed and the build.
Does this work for all hp z-xxx computers or specifically the z240? I want to do this with the hp z440 but I'm not sure everything is the same like in the video.
so far most hp's use the same style pin out so I believe it might.
Hello I ran into some error, after i swap the case of my HP Prodesk 400 G1 into new case *mATX when booting up it says Front Audio not Connected, Front USB not Connected and i had to press F1 every time pc boots up do you guys have any solutions?
not sure if the 400 is similar to the z240 but the front audio should be standard and the front usb needs to be grounded like i talked abou in the video.
When you were explaining the power part at 20:40, where did you get the pins from?
Amazon
That adapter is out of stock on amazon rn, and the only others I can find have bad reviews and look dodgy and cheap. Is there a way to avoid replacing the PSU?
not sure, I have always done it with the psu swap.
Nice video 🤠
Thanks 😁
Ace video as always - is there an Xeon variant that works with this gneration of intel socket please?

Hi I have problem with Z230 sff case swap. After conneting everything I couldn't get the mb to actually start. Power led would blink and that's it. No fans spinning nothing. Green led on mb is on so I think the power adapter I bought is good. Any thoughts? 🥺
I have seen that happen with the wrong adaptor, has to be z230 specific, people tend to get the 240 and other models by mistake. looks similar but wiring is different.

Hi, do you know if this mobo will support an i7 7700k? everything is compatible from what I've seen but dunno
i can't confirm but the forums from hp website say yes

Hey mate, do you know what pins I would have to jump for the front audio?
i can't remember but I don't think i have to jump anything.
@@DLMtechgarage the case I'm using is pre old so it doesn't have a modern front panel audio connector 😂 any ideas?
What was the original CPU that came with that machine? I was wondering if I should go for HP Z240 Workstation SFF Barebone 6th Gen Intel Xeon Motherboard *No CPU/RAM/SDD and add the e3 1245 myself cause they're very hard to come by pre-assembled. Barebones is like $36, with a 1245 is like $200
I tend to go with the barebones as it can be cheaper if you find the right price for the other parts.
Hey, dunno if you're still interested in this but I just finished building everything with a 1245 v5. Runs snappy, no surprises.
I have a HP compaq 8100 sff and im planning change the psu to a generic 700w and recase it into a bigger case. And now im worried if it is safe 😅
it's safe as long as your take your time, take pics of all your cables, make sure you are not stically charged and never force anything. never done the swap so i would recomming tracing your pwr button and leds and see if you can match the connectors for the different case.
Do you have a link for pin assignments for HP Prodesk 600 G4?
I don't, haven't seen one yet.
If you don't do any jumping stuff, you can use the front usb right? it just gives you the error? thats the whole point was to skip the errors?
it can work but I have find it to be unstable and random drop outs. but then on other case swap I had no issue.
@@DLMtechgarage It turns out I found a GTX 750 low profile from my friend for 15 bucks so I’m gonna throw that in there not do it Kay swap and do it at the super low price of 225. I’m going to test it and make sure you really can get 60 frames on your esports gaming if you can I’m gonna sell it to somebody who really needs a cheap computer, or my dad’s friend who wants a workstation for basic web design. I have somewhere I can get these computers but 500 GB hard drives, and 16 GB of RAM for about 70 to 80 bucks with shipping so I’m gonna be doing Kay swaps on these a lot. Can’t beat 6th gen Intel for 100$ (with a sata ssd) And I already have hard drives, so I can throw some of those in there so it’s not only a 500 GB bill

any chance you know what it means when cpu fan keeps cycling every few seconds and the green light by the power button blinking green?
not sure but sometimes reseating the memory stick fixes weird errors like that.
My hp does that and the problem only ends when I run the pc with one single stick of ram, I suspect a bios or Windows update has messed with the dual Chanel ram controller somehow?
great video! my problem : i have the exact same z240 and put it in the coolmaster 500 mesh case . everthing is working the fans the leds everything . but there is symply no signal to the monitor . do you think something is broken?
could it be the power adapter . that it has not enough watt ?
would be very cool to get an answer .

what kind of graphics card are you using?
what kind of graphics card are you using?
@@DLMtechgarage hey thanks for the answer. i bought this pc about 5 years ago from a company it has an intel i7 7th generation but i dont know the graphics card. they said to me that they‘ve installed a very strong and good nvidia card
@@9speedgaming901 I would try removing the graphics card and plugging the monitor into the board. That would rule out a graphics card issue. Then if you still have the problem try each ram stick 1 by 1 in the first slot to rule out a memory issue.
Another thing to consider is checking the psu connections. are the 24 pins and 6 pins attached properly. I have seen people plug the pcie into the cpu 6 pin by mistake. if all that checks out, then look into the adaptor you bought. The adaptor is specific for the z240. Their are ones out their that look identical and will plug in but are wired differently. I ran into that.
So the 3.0 usb you Just put 1 and 4 pin together?
yup!
How about the hp pavilon tp01 will it works?
not sure. if the mobos are the same I would say yes.
do you know if this will work with the hp z230 Tower?
not sure as it's a different chipset and not sure if hp kepts the same layout for the inputs.
i have this exact office pc , will swap it into a new case after the case arrived .. will let you guys know the progress after since i am very far from USA which is Malaysia. nice to meet you .

Can i do the same thing on my z240 that is bigger than youra
yes. the matx z240 you def can and have more options. you can upgrade the psu and get a better graphics card for it.
I did a case swap on one of these. I get a black screen when trying to boot from a graphics card. I was able to boot into windows with the on board video and installed the graphics drivers. Still black screen when plugged into video card. Card works as I’ve tested on another machine. Tried different cables and different ports. Any ideas? Thanks.
might need a bios update, these model where finacy with newer cards and I know the newer bios has some codes for them.
Hi, guys!!! Nice guide. I have a HP 600G2 SFF and followed all steps, I'm able to skip the USB2 and 3 errors, CH FAN and PSU FAN....but, when I plug any device on my frontal USB, the OS informs Unknow USB Device....My case have just 1 USB2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 in the front panel. for the USB2, my MB have 12pins instead of 10, I had cut the GND and made a jumper between pins 8 and 12. For the USB3, I had cut the pins 01 and 04 of the extensor cable and merge the fours pieces of cable... Could you help me? If I made a mistake, let me know.
not sure, never ran into that issue. seems like a ground issue somewhere or maybe a shorted usb

not sure. never missed with none.
Can you make a video on the Hp elitedesk 800 g1?
if i get one in the garage most def will!!
i have the elitedesk 800 g1 and its really similar to this test. Just copy what he does and it should work.
could the same be done with the z230 sff?
not sure as its a different chipset but I have found in my experience is that mobo manufactures tend to do things the same, so the front panel might be similar and the pinouts might be similar.
does the Z240 have the option for "Above 4G Decoding" in the bios?
not sure, will have to look next time I get one in. doubt it as the bios is real basic

I have a dell optiplex 3010 mt. And my PC is very slow after resetting windows and keeping my files. I have updated all my driver's and updated everything and I get half the frames I got before. Do you any help you can give me?
might be alot of bloatware programs running in the background. go to task manager and see what is using the most cpu and memory usage, also what are the specs. you need to find what is taking your resource and probably just uninstall it. if not then maybe the new update might be a little too much if you not running 8gb of ram or an sssd.

Dude the link for the adapter is wrong!
For those that are trying to do the same swap you need one that says z220 or z230 the one on Amazon that specifies z240 is the wrong adapter only the z220/z230 works on the green motherboard. Believe me I tried for 2 weeks to fix this issue until I tried a z220 adapter and now I don't have the 90e power supply fan not detected error. I hope this helps others like me.
And please fix the link!
Thanks. link has been updated, never realize i used the wrong like!! much appreciated!!
the more beautiful way of connecting these pins, is soldering the right pins together at the back of your mainboard, instead of these ugly connections inside the case. And it saves money on buying this $10 cables
the 70 series optiplexes are way better then the 90 series ones because of the newer cpu's and cheapness of them and the m.2 support
Can you case swap with hpz230
yup!
@@DLMtechgarage are they the same steps as this video, i want to case swap with my hpz230 but im afraid i might mess something up
@@Hua_Sa should be, looks the same. cant really mess it up.
upload a video for sff 600 g1 please
very similar to the 800 g1 video i did. Only main difference is making sure have the correct power adaptor for the swap
@@DLMtechgarage btw u have discord?
I don't, get asked that alot, prbly need to start one.@@Furuwakashi
@@DLMtechgarage if you do make one let me know thank you
@@DLMtechgarage yoo update i just build my pc and everything is working fine no errors i did not use any bypass like yours what i did is i also transfer the usb front ports to another case i want to show it to you but i don't know how
if you want skip the (rear fan error) loop a wire on the front panel header on the pin next to power switch and the pin next to the blank the last pin stay loose or nothing on it or empty just to be sure you guy understand my poor english
i gotcha def a good idea.
Hey what does it mean? I cannot quite understand. On my way to getting an extra 4pin fan now, but just want to know the other option.
@@koomei2 get a fan hub that either sata or pwm powered. ive used this one. link below.

Your p/s adapter link is for a wrong one.
Bought my Z240 without CPU or Ram for $10 oh and the LANDZO cables are no longer available
other brands make them too.
Easier "then"?

At the Amazon... LMFAO

@@DLMtechgarage I was totally saying that tongue and cheek I think you said 16 times in the video your soldering arm was broken,, I own a computer store in Tampa and I'm fairly certain we have an extra hakko soldering iron we're not using. If I can find it and you're still in need of one let me know and I will happily send it to you for free., my company is performance computer group in Tampa Florida. I am We have a Facebook page feel free to message me there if you want to take me up on my offer
@@BLLHacks man that would be awesome, i buy the cheap harbor freight ones, or amazon special and they break. I never know whats good to get for soldering so just go with what i find lol.. def will shoot you a message on the old Facebook. Im from NC and frequent the tampa florida alot in the winter. Def will have to come visit!
I just call the guy.
Lmao i want do this but my dad want i upgrade z240 but want keep in same case so i just need change memory upgrade ram and change cpu
