HP ProDesk 400 G4 SFF desktop PC, Core i5-7500, 32GB DDR4, 256GB SSD

HP ProDesk 400 G4 SFF desktop

This small-form-factor PC ships new with Windows 10 Pro, a 3.40 GHz Core i5-7500 that reaches 3.80 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 handles everyday video and light visual tasks. The 180 W power supply and air cooling suit typical office workloads. It is not for buyers who need discrete graphics performance or internal 3.5-inch drive bays.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 180 W PSU and compact air cooler limit continuous turbo operation, so clocks will settle below the 3.80 GHz peak during long renders or heavy multitasking. Intel HD Graphics 630 shares system memory and has no dedicated VRAM, so extended GPU compute tasks run at reduced throughput. The chassis passed 120000 hours of HP Total Test Process validation for thermal stability. Buyers expecting workstation-class sustained performance should look elsewhere.

Setup checks before ordering

Verify that your monitor accepts VGA or DisplayPort input, as those are the only video outputs listed. Confirm the 180 W supply meets the power draw of any PCIe cards you plan to add, because the unit has no auxiliary power connectors. Ensure the slim case fits your desk space and that the included USB Wi-Fi adapter satisfies your network needs. No optical drive or 2.5-inch caddy is mentioned in the package.
