It's far better than an entry level gaming PC even now, three years later if you set it up right. These xeons overclock to over 4 ghz if you get a decent bin chip (You need the V2 z620 to do that though). The CPUs are so cheap now, you can just buy a few if you need to find a nice bin chip. The power supply is also massive with 6 pin GPU leads that are capable of 8 pin power. Tons of internal drive bays and PCIE slots. It has QUAD channel RAM (which is ECC, making your computer more stable) and dual CPU capability as well. It can take a super fast NVME with a cheap PCIE card. I'm still using it now and haven't had a game that I couldn't play smoothly at max settings (other than ray traced games maxed out with no DLSS). I run an RTX 3070 TI in it and the temps don't even hit 70C on CPU or GPU no matter what I do. Amazing case design.
I picked one up recently on FBMP for under $50. It has both processors and around 118Gb of ram. I haven't really had to time to mess with it much other than a verifying that it works. I thought about dropping my 2070S from my gaming machine in to see how it compares against my main PC. Its a i7 9700. I already have a spare PCIE nvme adapter from a previous build, so I think it would be a close race? I had a Z420 as my main gaming machine during the pandemic, so I have softspot for these Z machines, the build quality is great from the factory.
@@Hughesburner I ran a 2070 in my z620 (V2) rig for a long time. Getting the highest clock speed CPU is key to maximizing it though. I found that the E5-1620 v2 was good gaming CPU mainly because it is dirt cheap and is capable of doing full boost clock on all 4 cores. The 2667 v2 is also a really good chip if you want more cores with a good clock speed. With a high clock speed Xeon and a 2070S, I would bet it will saturate the card well.
@@gametime2473 Mine came with E5-2690 v2's and he gave me two extra unused ones.
NICE. It's a great computer. I just upgraded but I sure didn't need to. I did it for fun to check out the HP Z4 line. @@Hughesburner
I'm using it with 3060ti. It works very fast in Adobe ai processing.
Pretty nice they support something like 96gb of ddr3
They sell ssd adapter trays for this workstation on Ebay
I know, they do.
@@Miyconst Hi, can you link the tray that you are using for 2 ssds & 1 HD
@@rohitbedi5639 I used this one: www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B01N1P804G
Can you instill a normal ATX motherboard in this case? I actually prefer the way these cases look compared to modern "gaming" cases on the market and want to mod the front and install a 360mm radiator and possible one on the bottom with cutouts for exhaust.
No, unfortunately you can't, HP uses it's own proprietary format.
Hi, have you ever thought of testing the Turbo Unlock for this machine? Thanks
It's not possible to apply the turbo unlock hack with the X79 platform.
Can I run Rx 6650 Xt 8gb with Z620 if not tell me what to do.
I have not tried it myself, but it should work.
Please use a Dual 6 Pin to 8 PIN , it's safer , a got my regular 6 pin to 8 pin burner after using a 4K video.
It really depends on what GPU you use and the adapter's quality. For mid range GPUs a single 6-pin to 8-pin is fine.
Hello and thank you for the video,
Is it possible to install a m2 disk on PCI to install the OS? Would the perf be better than a SSD ?
Hi. M.2 is just a physical form factor of SSD drives. There are SATA M.2 and NVMe M.2 drives. NVMe drives are faster than the SATA drives. Unfortunately, this old workstation does not support boot from an NVMe device, but you can still use such device for installing programs and similar. It's also possible to use Clover to hack things around: www.win-raid.com/t2375f50-Guide-NVMe-boot-without-modding-your-UEFI-BIOS-Clover-EFI-bootloader-method.html
I believe there is a workaround, if I'm not mistaken: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Workstations-and-Point-of-Sale-Systems/Booting-from-an-NVME-SSD-card-on-a-Z620/td-p/7468386
Hi, what is the best Xeon that you can fit on this motherboard with the highest clock count at 8 core? Thanks in advance.
It's probably Xeon E5-2667 V2, but you need to ensure that your HP machine supports V2 Xeons.
@@Miyconst thanks! I’ll look into it
was bf5 on ultra?
No, the Battlefield 5 settings were set according to this optimization guide: www.gamingscan.com/best-settings-for-battlefield-5/
my xeon 1650 v2 is clocked at 4.2ghz on all cores, do you think it's better or still less powerful than your 8 core xeon?
thanks and congratulations for your videos!
No, Xeon E5-1650 V2 @ 4.2 GHz is significantly better than Xeon E5-2689.
@@Miyconst I suspected that... infact I am really enjoyng the gaming pc i built upon that motherboard.
the HUANANZHI X79 ZD3
You should check that board... it's simply the best x79 china motherboard out there... but if you're planning on doing some tests on it, I recommend you not to buy the version with the "dial switch" on it, but the revision without it!
Thanks for the quality of your videos, hope to see more in the future!
Hi! Congratulations for the video! I have a Hp z620 with the xeon e5 2640. My motherboard its 2011 block date. Could I upgrade the cpu to the e5 2689? Would it be an improvement? Thanks!!
Yes, most likely you can install an E5-2689 into your HP and it will be a noticeable upgrade over the E5-2640.
Thanks for your quick response! I already have bought it. I will coment my experience.
Once the cpu is changed, do I have to update the bios or do something else?
@@cuchucabrera no, you don't have to do anything extra, but it's recommended to run the latest BIOS version.
Thanks! I did it a fee days ago and everything is fine!
Where can I get a HD caddy like at?
On ebay, Amazon, or AliExpress.
I guess I am and idot.... I can't seem to find it.@@Miyconst
@@ChrisGolas I can't post links in comments, but I have added one into the video description.
Can you talk me about the adapter for the graphics card pls?
What adapter are you asking about?
@@Miyconst minute 5:02
@@xcamiu you can buy them on AliExpress, unfortunately I can't paste links here, just search for 8-pin PCI-E adapter.
@@Miyconst Thanks :DD
Do you think an r9 280 would work in my hp z600?
It should, but you never know.
How about CPU-OC with bios or mods? I know HP Z-620 has no OC out of the box but xeons are scrteaming to OC or?
All Xeon E5-26XX CPUs are locked, you can't overclock them.

@@olboe2008 I don't see a single E5-26XX CPU in the list, thus, it does not contradict with what I have said :).
@@Miyconst ye your bacially correct but in your video you installed a single cpu so for budget reasons using a unlocked E5-1xxx and OC the hell out of it makes real sense
@@Miyconst BTW the HP-Z620 is a masterpiece design of a workstation case designed by BMW people (have three of it at home)
if you were running dual cpu would you need the same cpu's
Yes. Only identical CPUs can work in pairs.
@@Miyconst would I have to buy them in pairs or can I buy two from different sellers
@@yoyomaster6006 you can buy from different sellers and different places, as long as the CPUs are identical - they work together.
Hi, can you please tell me how you get free ecc ram? And what should i do so i could get free ecc ram?
You need to be a employed by a company that hosts servers and get good connections with guys that deal with decommissioned hardware.
@@Miyconst do you work at the company? or you just knew someone that work for the company?
@@gianthunger610 I have some connections, that's it.
