Processor

The HP G4 Mini can be configured with a variety of Intel processors, including[3]:

Non T CPUs supported on 65W and 95W SKUs of 400 G4 , 600 G4 and 800 G4. Vast majority of models on the user market are 35W variants.

Some users also report it is possible to use 9th gen CPUs in the G4 and 8th gen CPUs in the G5[4]

Graphics

  • Intel HD graphics (HD630, HD610) depending on the CPU
  • AMD Radeon RX 560, proprietary module, only for 95W models[5]

Memory

  • 2 DDR4 SODIMM slots
  • Up to 64GB of RAM (tested with 2 x 32GB modules)
  • Limited to 2666MHz (3200MHz memory will work but will be downlocked

Storage

  • All 3 variants have a proprietary SATA port for a ribbon cable adapter
    • HDD bay is not included unless purchased with a HDD when new
    • Some HDD caddys might include a fan. Some users report a FAN error when SATA drive is connected without a drive caddy fan[6]
    • It is possible to 3D print a drive bracket from PETG plastic
  • Two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 4x slots on ProDesk 600 G4 and EliteDesk 800 G4
    • With OEM HDD caddy only one M.2 2280 slot can be used. Recommended to use a 3D printed bracket if used with a 2.5inch SSD
  • Single M.2 M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 4x slot on ProDesk 400 G4
  • 2TB SSD tested in M.2 slot
    • Can most likely accept 8TB or larger SSDs
    • Downclocking from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 3.0 works
