    I watched your unboxing when I was considering buying the Victus, so of course I came back to your channel when looking to upgrade the RAM (The Sims 4 is a beast that just keeps growing). A couple videos in, I'm also getting a new fan, and my other half is trying to convince me I already have a good GPU, and I don't need an SSD. I've never upgraded a PC, beyond putting in more RAM, but your videos are giving me ideas....

      You can go nuts with storage upgrades on these if you taper your expectations. I have a Pavilion, and at one time I ran a 8+10TB HDD setup alongside the included NVMe. Today I installed a $30 4TB HDD from eBay (just for games/weird formatting) on the inner lower front face, and two PNY SATA SSDs like the ones in the video in a Corsair Dual SSD caddy. The other thing needed was a SATA power extension cable to add more ports. The upper side removal grill is still available for another SATA SSD, and you can add more SATA ports via a PCI expansion card or use the slot to add a NVMe to PCI adapter. If you want to remove the included NVMe you can add a 6 port SATA to m.2 key.

    Thank you for this video! I upgraded my own Victus 15L except with the PowerColor Fighter Radeon 6600XT. However, since installing, my computer has been intermittently locking up (at least once an hour while doing ordinary tasks) and I am having trouble determining whether it is a hardware or software issue. I’ve been running extensive diagnostic hardware tests (using the HP Software), but everything is coming up clean. I also reformatted but am still having the issue. Still no clue. I’m thinking about swapping my new GPU with my old one and see if the problem persists so I can isolate whether it’s the GPU or power supply (assuming it’s hardware related). Do you have any advice?
    Thanks!

    Great video... I just added two additional 2.5 SSDs (1TB and 1 500GB) to this model. The first I added exactly as described in the video. The second was added with a mounting bracket that I repurposed from my old Dell where the drive was housed. Sometimes, those mounting brackets also come with the 2.5 SSD. No holes to drill, just used some screws to attach the mounting bracket to the same part of the case described in the video. The OEM power supply had two cables available, and other than repurposing the SATA from my old computer, job done. At boot in Win 11 home, I checked disk manager and it recognized both drives automatically.

      @@SCP_Personnel-TF Out of your power supply, there should be extra power cables (a little longer, and have an 'L' at one end of the adapter) and the SATA cable that actually transmits the data between the motherboard and the drive that you are installing. If you don't have an extra SATA cable (like from another desktop), you can pick up a new one for a few bucks. The description of this video has a couple to choose from. Hope this helps.

    Is the 500watt the max we can get? I've watched this video a few times and so far I upgraded the ram to Kingston Fury 16 x 2 32gb Ram and ordered the LXun Upgraded L05757-800 500W Power supply. That's the right one and from my research that's the max the hp victus is compatible with? Couldn't figure out if any higher power supply was compatible! Will it work with rx6700xt? Or do i need to upgrade cpu first or is power suply not possible?

Will it work for the TG02-0xxx? That's my model of Victus. Looks almost identical to the one you work on here. Is there an adapter that would make the Corsair PSU work?

    what access to the UEFI do you get? I have a M 01F system, and the system won't allow access to any overclocking settings. Can you set resizable bar? can you set XMP? because my older 4700g system doesn't even show it in the bios. (nor can I adjust the video memory for the integrated graphics). Sort of wish you'd done the m.2 ssd upgrade, but still nice. Still the same case, too.

      @@TNW1337 part of it is that the system board is B550A (Erica 5). So, just a refresh of Erica 3 (B450? A320?). With a ryzen 5000 processor w/o igp, it should support PCIe 4 from the chip (graphics & m.2) but not otherwise.
      B550A was only used in OEMs; cost cutting way to recycle the old chipset, and advertise it as "new". But the Vega chips only have support for PCIe 3.0. So, I am tempted now to pick up a 5600x used and see if it picks up the speed of the rx 6600 I put in it a couple days ago. So, my upgrade is similar to yours -- about a 6x increase in graphics.
      What annoys me most isn't access to overclocking/ memory timings -- it is that the Vega 8 memory is capped, and it is NOT capped on commercial boards -- they just didn't let the user access the switch in the UEFI. I get that it is low power everything (why it doesn't support XMP) and you should not put a higher end processor in it (because that encroaches the gaming machine sales as well as heat throttling the CPU) but crippling the Vega during a graphics card shortage is irritating.
      I had an rx 560 and used that to check the 400W power supply (THANKS!) and found the 4700G's 2100MHz graphics matching the framerates of the rx 560, but with a frequent stuttering; I don't know of any videos that actually tested what the 7nm parts did in the APUs; it is a major upgrade from the 14nmVega 11 in the R5 3400G, even with less cores.
      I saw some photo channels talking about video editing on the 4700G, setting the video memory to 4GB or higher. So, the 512MB limit raises my bloodpressure, lol.

    Hey man, great video! I just got the same system, and of course, the original graphics card was awful! But, at least my finances allowed me to get a "Powercolor AMD Radeon RX 6400" low profile. However, I am disappointed that I am not receiving the crisp clear image on my desktop like I do on my tablet. I also have 32 gigs DDR4 ram. I figured it must be my power supply, which is the original 350 watt, and is the minimum for my new graphics card. This may sound crazy , but I'm not a computer expert. I am starting to take more of an interest in gaming right now though! Would you mind telling me the model number, etc for the "HP Victus 500 watt power supply"? Every search I do, it seems, appears to take me to the 350 watt or, I may find a 500 watt, but, it is always for "HP Envy" "Pavilion", etc. Never Victus! I've about given up. Only if you have time and don't mind. Thank you., John
