I've got a HP EliteDesk 800 G5 with Core i7 CPU and 32 GB RAM. How do you guys handle load shedding situations? I have a mini UPS for the router and ONU, and a 650V one for the mini PC. I don't think it will give me more than 20 minutes backup. Should I gracefully shutdown after 10-15 minutes when electricity is gone and automatically boot up when electricity is back?

I'm considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I'm wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this purpose. I'm particularly looking at the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G5 models. Unfortunately, finding these devices in Dhaka has been challenging. So far, I've found a G3 on bikroy.com, but it comes with a 6th gen i7 CPU. Edit: I ended up getting Elitedesk 800 G5 with i7 9th Gen CPU, 32 GB (Kingston) and 1 TB Nvme (a Chinese brand called Kingspec). I'll get a new ssd later. The price was 35k BDT ($300 approx). The bios was locked. But I managed to unlock it by booting without cmos.

My #Promox server has been having issues of randomly rebooting, multiple times a day, usually after losing connection to the hard drives. I opened the device, a HP Elitedesk 800 G4 DM, and the black/white SATA ribbon connector came loose. One of the golden pins keeping it to the motherboard got loose. I can't put the connector back in place now. Am I screwed? How should I proceed?

MiniPC Surgery Makes It 50% Cooler
[G3R] writes to us about a mod they did on a HP ProDesk/EliteDesk 400 G3 miniPC they use as a home emulation center. The miniPC would overheat as soon as the CPU load increased, resulting in frame drops and stutters, as well as throttling CPU. [G3R] took the original cooling solution, threw out half of it and modified the remaining half to accept a tower CPU cooler.
The modification is invasive in all the right ways. [G3R] shows how to de-fin the current heatsink and smooth it over with a… welder? Our guess is that the heatsink fins were soldered to the heatsink base, and in that case, a heat gun should also work. Afterwards, you're supposed to cut a hole in the upper case, then re-wire the fan connections, and create custom brackets to attach the tower fan - [G3R] explains how to do it all and what to watch out for.
The results are fascinating. After performing the mod, both idle and under-load temps got cut down by 50%! Idle temps went from 50 to 25 °C, and under-load temps dropped from 79 to 40 °C - surely, with way less throttling involved. Not only this lets [G3R] play Breath Of The Wild without hiccups, it also certainly improves overall lifespan of the mini-PC, despite the intervention being mechanically harsh.
Making our devices, quite literally, cooler is a venerable tradition of hackers. Just a few weeks ago, we covered a simple 3D printable LGA 1700 CPU bracket which can gain you some much-desired thermal contact. Sometimes we encounter proprietary and weird cooling fans that fail, and then we understand their workings and build a substitute. And, even if your GPU was never meant to have a fan, you can add one anyway!
