How to upgrade

[Khang0501]

Hey all,

I want to upgrade my HP All-In-One Desktop 24 to run games and stream without latency and lag. Is there any way to do this without buying a new computer outright? My computer runs fine; I want to be able to run more games on it. I know it's a bit hard to upgrade these kinds of AIO computers, so if it's not possible, then so be it, but if anyone knows the way, please help!

@Khang0501,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

You're absolutely right in noting the upgrade limitations of your HP All-in-One Desktop PC 24-cb0000a. Let's break down the possibilities:

Upgrade Possibilities:

1. Memory (RAM):

   • Slots Available: Your system is equipped with two DDR4 SODIMM slots.

   • Maximum Capacity: Supports up to 64GB, though HP officially lists 16GB (2x8GB) as the maximum.

   • Recommended Upgrade: If you're currently using 8GB (1x8GB), adding another 8GB module to utilize dual-channel memory can enhance performance. Ensure the new RAM matches the existing module's specifications (DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, SODIMM, 260-pin).

2. Storage (SSD):

   • Upgrade Option: If your system uses a traditional HDD, upgrading to an SSD can significantly improve boot times and overall responsiveness.​

 

Upgrade Limitations:

• Graphics Processing Unit (GPU):

  • The integrated AMD Radeon Vega 6 graphics are soldered onto the motherboard, and there's no PCIe slot available for adding a discrete GPU.

  • External GPU (eGPU): Your system lacks Thunderbolt support, which is typically required for eGPU setups.​

• Central Processing Unit (CPU):

  • The AMD Ryzen 3 5300U processor is soldered onto the motherboard, making CPU upgrades unfeasible.​

 

Gaming and Streaming Considerations:

While RAM and SSD upgrades can improve general performance, the integrated graphics and soldered CPU limit the system's capability for high-end gaming and streaming. You might experience acceptable performance with less demanding games at lower settings, but for a more robust gaming and streaming experience, a dedicated gaming PC or laptop would be more suitable.
