HerrOtttesen Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Hi, Just wanted to share this under desk-mount I designed to my HP Elitedesk 800 G5 mini. Just recently bought this computer only because of the ingenious thread on this page regarding the "perfect Hackintosh". Gotta say, love both the computer and this forum! Here's the link for the mount if anyone are interested.

deeveedee Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 (edited) @HerrOtttesen I like your under-desk mount. Nice! @HerrOtttesen I received your PM about heat issues with i9-9900. I don't have any problems with heat and I also have an i9-9900 CPU, but as I mentioned in my PM response, heat issues can be caused by high ambient room temp, incorrect application of CPU thermal paste, air-flow obstruction, addition of a second M.2 NVMe SSD and also SATA SSD (especially if you don't have a SATA caddy fan). Do you experience the heat issues / CPU fan constantly running without your under-desk mount? I ask, because much of the EliteDesk Mini's cooling for 65W models is via the vented cover. With the upside-down mounting of your EliteDesk Mini (your only choice so as not to block the cover venting holes), the rising heat is trapped in the unit. Do you think it is possible that your under-desk design is thwarting convection cooling?

Hi @deeveedee Problem has been resolved with changing from some old thermal paste (good old Artic Silver) to liquid metal paste from Cryonaut. Now it runs as cool as the i5 it was replacing. Still not achieving the same score as you, but I'm fine with 6600-ish Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/357791-hp-elitedesk-800-g5-mini-under-desk-mount/#findComment-2823230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
