Upgrading my HP Envy 700-059 cb deskop processor

[Tiloubiz1]

Hi  Im wondering  wich Intel processor would fit in for boosting my desktop without changing the motherboard . Actually its an I7 4770 chipset,  3.4 ghz ,  12RAM DDR3 1600 pin, The video card is ok ;  NVIDEA GEforce GTX 1060 6GB.  I will also change my hard disk for SSD.  The motherboard is : MS7826 Kaili.  Thanks.

Thanks for the answer but its already a I7 3.4 GHz so, It is not possible to upgrading It.    Is It true that an SSD hard drive would not ride like a SSD drive but a regular HDD drive with this motherboard?  Also, the RAM memory is only 12G. The desktop use to be riding with windows10 32 bits  but ive switch to 64 bit  a Whitehorse ago. I read that It would be possible to boost  that to 4x 8 G RAM. Would It be efficient enough  to make the  boost?  Thanks

Hi @Tiloubiz1,

I agree with @Prométhée, the CPU upgrade may not be cost effective.

But you should do the HDD to a SATA SSD upgrade. This upgrade is the best bang for the buck.

Let me know if you want additional info on creating a current operating system image and recovery media using Macrium Reflect 8 free.

I would get a 2 TB SATA SSD to make the transition easy. You will have to verify you can move the existing disk volumes to the new SSD. You can't move 1.01 TB of data to a 1 TB SSD.

You can then use the existing 2 TB HDD as a second data drive.

You should be able to seamlessly (all things equal) move the operating system to the new SATA SSD.

No data loss. Minimal downtime.

Regards

it does not change my answer, but not exactly, the other must be slightly more efficient

It is absolutely wrong , a mechanical hdd disc will remain much slower.
You can lose a bit in performance with a SAta ssd if the transfer speed of the sata port is 3 gbits / s and not 6 gbits
it is not specified here:

The ssd, therefore remains advantageous

 Also, the RAM memory is only 12G. The desktop use to be riding with windows10 32 bits  but ive switch to 64 bit  a Whitehorse ago. I read that It would be possible to boost  that to 4x 8 G RAM. Would It be efficient enough  to make the  boost?  Thanks

see this, it can help you know whether need more memory or not,

Add RAM

but indeed 16gb, it can be more comfortable

on condition therefore of compatible modules,  if you just add two others

The scan and or manual search, can help

Welcome to Crucial USA

 on condition therefore of compatible modules, if you just add one in addition to the original ones

it is not indicated what you have in place 12 gb (2 * 6 ??)

Merci  Promethee !!  J'ai lu ton post sur les RAM. Ce sera suffisant avec 12G. Quel est la difference  de connecteur entre SATA et SATA 111 s'il y en a une ?    Your "accept this solution" button doesnt work.

[Prométhée · Accepted solution]

thx  write, in French @Tiloubiz1  but no need, at least you have to write in English here anyway
Sorry I don't understand what you are referring to for the sata especially 111, I do not see what you are referring to
On a motherboard you can have the sata 3 or 6 gb, see my answer here

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Wireless-and-Networking/6-sata-3-0-on-motheboard-of-HP-pavilio...
it is not specified for yours
But you can check it at least with the intel utility, see the picture here

you have already visibly accepted the solution previously,
it can't work anymore, and you try to click my gif, callback

Thanks !!  (je suis au Quebec) i'll go shopping for a SSd drive 🙂

Brr, too cold for me
