Yes that plate has 2 screws and then it drops out. (I posted a link back in this thread that HP had with instructions and there are some videos as well online) Then you tap out the 4 rectangular...

Question for the fan on top. It seems like that is a solid plate. Do you remove that then there is a spot for fan, or is the fan just screwed into that plate?

Add extra fans to this PC!! I had 2 @ 120mm fans laying around (very old 900RPM fans) and put one in the top for exhaust (using the mount HP has there) and then I laid one on the floor by the PSU...

For the people that are gaming on this and have high GPU temps (which then drops your cards performance and life span) it is the stock fan curve thats the problem. I played with MSI Afterburner for...

Hey SD'ers. Picked mine up today, system looks great, if not a little heavy.
Opened it up and now the Side panel won't stay latched on. It was tight to get off, and now that it's back on it's...

To be honest if you are returning it for a hardware issue I don’t think they’re really gonna care about what Windows is on there at all. Reinstalling Windows, and getting rid of HPs bloated version...

All sounds great but what happens if we need to return the pc or it craps out after we wipe it? Anyway to go back to favor HP version if we need to return or for it to cover under the warranty?

Good point and you get the piece of mind that YOU are the one who installed the OS with a unmolested version of Windows direct from Microsoft.
I did get a new case to move all the hardware to...

I do this with every new computer.
Not only is bloatware a drag on the system but it often goes unpatched and can be a security risk.
ISO direct from Microsoft is the way to go.

Windows installed all the drivers. No driver issues in device manager at all. The only driver I downloaded and installed was the one direct from Nvidia. Other than that, nothing else.

Thanks didn’t know the activation is automatic once Microsoft registered the pc. How about any HP drivers? or are they picked up by window?

Maybe but why would my 3060 PC (should be 30% less powerful) run cooler on exact same setting? They should be utilized around the same level, more on 3060 actually.
My problem with heat is that...
