Q: QuestionHp 270-p024 can I hook a tv up as a monitor using the HDMI cable or do I have to use the vga slot? I hope that I can hook the HDMI from the computer to the input of the HDMI port on the tv. Is this possible on this computer?

Asked 7 years ago by Humor.

• A:Answer I have 2-27" Dell monitors hooked to the computer. They came with HDMI inputs but since the computer has only one HDMI and one VGA input I had to get an old VGA cable to make it work. Honestly I don't notice a big difference in screen quality between the 2 but they function perfectly as a 2 monitor system. I know your computer will work great with the 1 TV with HDMI input but just for future reference you could add a second screen by using a VGA input monitor as well. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionIf I upgraded the case to a bigger one and the power supply to 600w can I install a good graphics card?

Asked 7 years ago by mike.

• A:Answer Thank you for your question! This model uses a Small Form Factor PSU. If you upgrade that it would be able to take a GPU. I am not sure if you would have to look for one that has a low-profile mount.

Q: Questionthe noise of CPU fan is disturbing me as it gets loud and low all the time, can I upgrade and replace the fan? is there any specifications for the fan that needs to be replaced? Thanks

Asked 8 years ago by Ash.

• A:Answer I haven't turned this machine on yet, but I'd bet if this noise isn't just the typical fan white noise you might have a defective machine. Any clicking or grinding is not correct. If it is just the typical fan noise you might be able to replace the fan, but I doubt the machine will be much quieter. Plus, it could be the cooling fan for the power supply which isn't serviceable. I'd first check to ensure that you are getting proper cooling in to the case. This is a small form factor machine, so the components are in a dense environment and a fair amount of heat is being generated just by running the machine without a heavy load. If the machine is inside of a cabinet or underneath a desk, try moving it to an area more open with better air flow. If the problem is still troublesome you could bring it to a local PC shop and ask them to swap out the fan with a higher quality one but again I'm not sure It'll help much.

Q: QuestionThe HP Slimline Desktop - 270-p024 PC has a M.2 SSD port on the main board. Is it active? If so, what does it take to enable it and is there a recommend M.2 SSD drive? I installed a "known good" Samsung EVO 850 500Gbyte SSD and it didn't recognize it.

Asked 8 years ago by SuperBrent.

• A:Answer I used a 960 EVO NvMe and the Samsung Magician software that goes with it without any problems, the only issue is going into the bios afterwards and setting the boot order, I disconnected the mechanical HD and removed it from the system afterwards. When using the software, after you install the NvMe, you boot as normal with the old hard drive, the software will recognition the NvMe and clone it from the mechanical drive.

Q: QuestionMissed the black friday sale price of 499 , will this item go on sale again before Christmas? And is it subject to price match guarantee?

Asked 8 years ago by Scott.

• A:Answer Not subject to price match as it was a sale item, doubt you will see this price again before Christmas. This computer is now only a "in store" buy, which must mean they are almost out of this computer. Probably sold a ton of these that day. I bought one had them send it to me, and it took a week for them to get it out the door, just got shipped today--11/30/2017.
