Re: Z400 Case Swap

Thanks for reaching out. I actually forgot about the number of slots, but I gave my friend multiple options. He said this would work fine, and has 7 pcie slots:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1472832-REG/deepcool_matrexx_55_mid_tower_atx.html

 

I was thinking the power supply could just be mounted on the bottom of the case.

The whole reason for the case swap is because he wanted to add RGB fans which he already has, in hand. He also wanted more case fans for better airflow.

So if the case swap is possible, would the front panel connectors need special modification? And what kind of extenders would be needed?

Re: XTU Version required for overclocking Z420 on Win 10?

Just a quick one one testting CPU after overclocking.

 

Given the fact that XEON's on HP Z series cannot be overclocked through BIOS , it's a known fact that using XTU (the only option) to set multipliers on all cores , doesnt work actually ... Speed of cores is less and less depending on how many cores is using the CPU . For example , the e5-1680v2 , on all cores goes with multiplier 34 (3.4Ghz) -  despite of XTU being set , let's say, to 4.2Ghz. It will go to max of 4.2Ghz only on single core run.

 

Therefore , when testing with, let's say Prime95, it will run on 3.4Ghz on all cores , so you actually cannot test the single core of 4.2 , or 2 cores on 4.1Ghz set by XTU .

 

My point is , I did find a particular way to test the overclock done with XTU , which was proven to me (no idea why is that ) the best test of Xeon's overclock on HP platforms: AIDA64 Extreme / Benchmark / FPU Julia.

For some reason , tests passed with any other test software (even Linpack) can fail on FPU Julia .

 

For example : I just tested my Z420 on 4.2 Ghz with 191mV - failed on Julia (black screen after a few seconds) . On Prime95 , Linpack, you name it, no issue. 

Risen the voltage to +222mV , working fine on Julia

_TheLegend27_,

 

I would not consider the Deepcool MATREXX 55 case to have acceptable airflow as the front panel is solid with only small intake openings on the sides.

 

The z400 motherboard is a non-standard shape and it's possible that the stand-off's and I/O shield will not align with a standard case.  Even the M/B power connector is not standard and if the PSU were mounted anywhere more than a couple of inches from the original relative position, the custom cables would not reach.

 

In my view, using the z400 internals in a current, standard case will not be successful or would require considerable expert effort and modification.  To be blunt- it's not worth the effort.

 

The z400 is capable of upgrading to a quite good standard. It's LGA1366 and in the 2nd version, can accommodate 4 and 6-cores CPU's of reasonable clock speeds.  HP spent considerable effort and cost to develop the system for reliable, continuous full load use, including sufficient cooling. There is for example the special z400 AIO liquid cooler. Remember too, that the RAM is ECC error correcting  up to DDR-1333.

 

Consider an alternative that does not require significantly more effort or expense but with far better performance:

 

The easiest, fastest, and least expensive alternative may be to sell the z400 and parts and buy an HP z420 second version with a Xeon E5-1650 v2, a z420 AIO liquid cooler, overclocking the E5-1650 v2 to 4.1 or 4.3 GHz on all 6- cores using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU), adding 4X 4GB or 4X 8GB  HP labeled  DDR3-1866, and a fast SATA SSD boot/programs drive. The z420 will support up to 8-core processors instead of 6-core, have 1866 MHz RAM instead of 1333, PCIe 3 instead of PCIe2 , USB 3.0 instead of 2.0, and SATAIII instead of SATAII.  An E5-1650 v2 will not be significantly more expensive than the Xeon W3690 6-core, but miles faster in every parameter. And the hot-rodded z420 will be useful further into the future  longer than the fastest z400.  In Passmark baselines, the highest rated z400 has a system Rating of 4077 whereas the highest rated z420 is 6227 (which happens to have been mine).

I'd like to chime in and second Bambi's advice.  These are custom engineered workstations that HP put a lot of time and testing in to optimize for speed, cooling and reasonable noise reduction.  These were never built to ATX standards; they were built to higher standards.  I've done a fair amount of mods and ghetto mods with the HP workstations, and it is not easy.  They seem to significantly improve with each generation and those improvements are custom, and not generally backwards compatible even in the same HP lineage.  I did what I thought was going to be a simple motherboard swap of a Z400 v2 motherboard into the previous analog... the xw4600.  I pulled it off but almost nothing was easy, from front panel interfaces to the rear. 

 

Another example... one might think the Noctua PWM fans would be best to use in a HP PWM fan spot... not so.  The custom PWM motherboard fan algorithm HP uses will down-RPM those Noctua fans too much.  HP workstations even cool better with the case cover on than if off.

 

So, the project in my mind should focus on is it a v1 or v2?  If v2 does it have the optimized v2 processor that was so very expensive back in time but is very reasonably priced on eBay used now?  Does it have a nice reasonably big SSD as boot drive, and even perhaps a larger SSD for a documents drive?  Does your friend want to overclock?  If so then follow Bambi's processor cooling advice.  Is the memory optimized for max speed the new processor can run?  Are all memory slots filled with identical matched memory?  Does your friend want USB3?  If so read my posts in this forum on the HP "2x2" USB3 PCIe card in the correct slot to optimize for that, based on the same Texas Instruments chipset and drivers used in the ZX20 next generation of HP workstations.

has z240 sff compatible with 400w psu 942332-001 ?

I have (up?) sidegrade plan of z240sff

mainly as below...

7700T

1650 graphic cards

but, vga requird 300w psu.

and I'm worried about the hook location, will this be compatible?

 

original psu

HP 942332-001  400w psu    

https://imgdb.in/hzuM.jpg

https://imgdb.in/hzuN.jpg

 

( 400w's hook should be move 8mm (0.3") to back plane side, but it looks like in same position from the other end. )

 

if you have any good idea please let me know.

you would be better off using a HP z240 power adapter cable that allows a standard ATX supply to be used

depending on the video card wattage and installed parts in the system, a 650-800 watt single rail ATX supply will be required

 

https://www.amazon.com/COMeap-Power-Adapter-Workstation-12-inch/dp/B06XW7RWNH

 

you can find small form factor atx supplies online, silverstone makes quite a few of these

 

your HP 400 watt supply even if pin compatible will not fit in a SFF enclosure as it's made for a standard tower case and therefor two large to fit

thanks for reply,

but z240 sff doesn't fit atx or tfx.

however it seems nearer tfx than atx.

you were told to look at the silverstone power supplies as they make flex-atx compatible units that should fit in the available space

 

note that i am not saying they are drop in replacements, only that they should fit in the available space, it's up to you to make a adapter plate to mate the supply with the case
