These are not consumer HP desktops with lower quality hardware and a brief 1 year warranty. They come with 3 year warranties when new and were built to be on 24/7. The average retail price of an I5-3470 model was around 1,400 USD. Starting price for an 8300 Elite was around 1,200 US dollars. They were quite expensive when they were new. The four HP desktops pictured above were first sold or leased to corporations, hospitals and government institutions beginning in late 2012. MacOS Sierra and High Sierra download links Click below for the link to get either one. If you need the front mic and the PCI slot to work then try his guide.ĭownloading Sierra or High Sierra from the Mac App Storeīoth of these versions of macOS are still available via free download from Apple. If you have already installed Sierra or High Sierra and are content with how things are working now, then it’s not necessary to use the new guide by Sniki.

He has stated that his techniques have greatly improved performance and made these HP 6300/8300 machines virtually immune to any problems with macOS updates.

If you must have the front mic and PCI working in your build or you haven’t installed macOS yet, I’d suggest a clean install of Mojave or High Sierra by following his guide. He has used techniques from the laptop forums, mainly Clover UEFI Hot Patching to avoid the need to statically patch your DSDT for ALC221 audio, USB, the front mic jack and the PCI slot function. Note that there are 3 available PCI slots in the 8300 Mini-Tower, 1 in the SFF. The single PCI slot (SFF version) didn’t work and the front mic jack also did not work. In the past few months community member Sniki has purchased an HP 8300 SFF PC and worked out all of the minor problems that still exist even after following the Sierra/High Sierra guides.
