I bought a z8 g4 Thursday. I was browsing youtube vids for upgrade ideas today. Holy crap I bought this exact computer. Now I understand the weird memory config. Thanks for upgrading the bios and the windows 11 install.
I have this same workstation, I got lucky and bought a bare bones with a Bronze 6 core and 16GB of ram for $100 / just got the 20 Core Gold 6148 / what a beast for $100 / amazing ....
After X58 lga 1366, workstations for gaming, lost its value. The X58 6 cores had a long life. But now you just get a lot of very weak cores. It eats away of the gpu performance. You can get 20k in passmark with a gtx 1080 for 3d mark using a modern cpu. The cpu score is pretty decent if you can find software that actually uses all the cores and threads, but games don't. Games just need a few very strong cores.
X58 Bruh really? x99 flagship cpus can keep pace ryzen 5000 and 12th gen i5s. Recent workstation cpus sure but there was definitely workstation chips after x58 that could game pretty well and still do.
@@esotericjahanism5251 I never said they cant. I tried to say how its not smart to make something like this just for gaming (title says Gaming on a..). If you already need a workstation then sure why not. And no they cannot pace ryzen 5000 and 12th gen as no consumer software is able to make use of a 18 core cpu. Games are still golden with only 4/6 really fast cores with high single core performance. Its a theoretical performance in the hands of consumers. But keep telling yourself that lol
any chance the other case and power supply is available? i have the motherboard but getting a ces and power supply is proving difficult without having to buy another motherboard as well
is the thing with the lighting tearing not just vSnyc? Make sure that's on. I looked at the base system for this and it was £900 (im un uk) it kinda defeats the purpose unless you have large workloads. Could see this server being great for things like video editing or 3D rendering.
T5810 with E5-2683v3 14core here, might swap it for a 22core if I find one that isn't stupidly expensive some day. But I fail to see the point of gaming on something like that. I have a quadro P4000 in my T5810, it *can* run fuggin crysis if I bump my head hard enough to feel like that's something that needs to happen. Holy balls this thing is EXPENSIVE though, starting at 3 grand refurbished used where I'm at. You can get a fancy new gaming PC with that, and have change left for a fancy monitor, sound setup etc. And a few large pizzas.
@@johnmay4803 I'm rebuilding mine at the moment, so it's not functional right now, has a new 1Tb NVMe boot drive so new install required. But it's not loud, but then it doesn't have HDD's anymore. Well, loud is then relative, it does obviously have like 5 fans in it at the moment, so it's not silent either. 3 at the front, 1 on GPU, 1 in PSU, probably getting one more to cool NVMe's soon. The HP Z8 G4 here looks nice but it's got to be stupidly heavy. And big.

Happy to have helped!

Great video, thank you.

Yep and those old X58 CPUs don't have modern instructions so newer games and apps won't even launch anymore.

Great review!
Thanks!
I have myself a xeon 2667 v2 at it holds even today

CPU temps looks high from what I see when you're playing games no?

I can check vSnyc but it seemed to be related more to frametime issues. I was able to get that system for around 400$ USD not including the GPU.
If that's an Xeon CPU, it reminds me of a Popstar. Damn...
big time
Hey how do you think this setup would run Hell Let Loose. Could you do a live stream with this set up so I can see?
Sorry I only play good games.
can you do a ti83 vs ti84 comparison? idk which one to choose for my math class
No
Take the Ti 83 Premium CE edition python
ive got a dell t5600 with 2 10 cores in

@@noth606 i just like looking at mine when i use my other pc! i love my workstation to bits but its just so loud lol

@@noth606 i honestly dont think the HP is built as well and dont you think the fans sound like a fighter jet?
That huge CPU animal is cheap.
What an incredibly dumb way to make a PC, were they trying to hit the highest possible manufacturing cost ever with this thing?!
It's great hahaha
its a pro workstation lol they are all like this
