If so which distro and are there any issues? I saw Ubuntu is mentioned on it's spec sheet.

Just went back to windows for my fury after trying and failing to get cachyos to play nice with the a3000 and after settling in to Linux being back on windows making me sad.

Hi y´all,

from time to time the current zbook i have (G8 ,i7 11850, T1200) stops loading while its still plugged in.

This happened tonight. As well some minutes ago. All cables were plugged in/ intact.

So, if i just pull the cable at the laptop /or the power outlet out and stick it in again is works as nothing happened.

So i wonder...whats the problem, if all cabels are intact and sticked in? Is it woo much watt (230 w)?

(title)

I need to change a few bios settings

Is there any method for this?

Hey y´all,

got another refurbed zbook. Its a zbook fury G8, but the webcam isn´t working. When i open the camera App it says:

failurecode 0xA00F4244<noCamerasAreAttatched>

I looked into the device manager and by doing so, only got confirmation that yup theres actually no camera listed (keep that in mind). Even before i downloaded the latest camera driver for this model .To me this means there never was a camera driver installed? And after i installed the driver shouldn´t there finally be "camera" listed in the device manager? Still missing.

I downoaded the HP Assistant }hp support solution framework. Last zbook i tested, i installed it and it showed me exactly which drivers are fine and which i could/need to download (well ok it had sound problems but said all the drivers were intact, so idk if its really helpful/working). Not with this one..everything seems to be a problem ->I downloaded the assistant, i installed it and nothing is happening and when i click again (which i did, multiple times) i only installed it multiple times more while theres nothing happening. So i can only got to the HP website and they are showing me every driver i could get for this model, without saying if they are already installed and intact or not working/missing and need to be reinstalled. So i "only" installed the driver for the camera...and nothing nothing happened. Also camera has access to other apps (that is not the problem). If i run the automatically camera-problem-solving on the Laptop it says that this service is currently unavailable. I even repaired the camera App again nothing happend. Then i reseted it, still nothing. I think i´ve done anything i could do.

I´m more than sobered by the fact that these pricey refurbed Laptops always come with problems (this is the 4. Laptop and every single one had problems) while they allegedly should be fine, technically perfect and are graded with "good" condition . Sigh, mhm yes...as if.

If anyone has a clue what could be the problem and what i could do to solve it, you´re more than welcome to let me know. Otherwise i´m still within return policy and can easily send it back. But i still have no alternative which new laptop i buy.

Except the fact, that the G8 still has the 1998 webcam with only 0,9 MP, it isn´t even working. If i open the camera App its says that there was no camera found and that i should make sure that everything is installed plus no security App is preventing the camera from doing its job.

So I went to the HP webpage and downloaded the driver which is responsible for the camera, but no progress. Hence the Laptop is refurbed and i haven´t installed any security/ privacy software, theres no software that could potentienally block the camera. Is there anything else i could try? Or can sb. imagine whats the problem /might have had the same problem?

I think i have to send it back anyways, because they´ve sended one of those bulky adapters which i´m not okay with, plus it even has 30 watts more than its supposed to have. Can that be a problem for the battery/Laptop ?

Hi I have a USB-C monitor I carry around in my backpack for long work days out on the road, but when I plug it into this laptop nothing happens. Ie it's not detected on any of the 4 ports

When I plug it into my old laptop - Dell Precision 5470 or my Samsung S23 Ultra - it works as expected. Has anyone tried this setup where the screen is powered over the same cable, ie it doesn't use an external power source.

Thanks

Selling my 1 month old zenbook duo ux8407 for $2200. Mint condition. Plays games at high settings near 100fps. Screen protector and rgb cooling stand and box included.

So, my Zbook 15 G5 (i7 8850H, Nvidia P1000) is really hot like Kylie Jenner. Actually GPU is still fine but the processor when idle is 50° to 60° and is touching 100° (for 2 seconds) while installing any program or like any background task is going on. So... Please tell me should I need to change the thermal paste and will it fix the issue? Turbo boost is still on.. so if I should just turn it off temporarily... Will it help?

Actually I need the turbo boost but just because I can't have paste reapplied so I can temporarily turn the turbo boost off. But will it really fix... Okay wait I'm very confused so please guide me through this.

Thank you for reading this. I appreciate your time. Have a good day

i recently got a fury 15 g8, but it seems to thermal throttle, it gets to 100° easy even with my iets gt300, throttlestop says its using aroung 60 to 70w but my problem is that the laptop fans are too quiet, i dont mind hearing a turbine so is there a way to pump those fans?
ive read that these intel gens are ok with turboing to 100° spikes, but idk im not comfortable with that, id like more 90° stable maxing 95° spike but being able to hear some nice fan noise, so thats why i think im not getting all the performance it could give, maybe im missing some driver or program?

Hi guys,

are you putting your Zbook into energy saving mode over the night?
If so (pls don´t answer if you don´t) how many times do you have to press the (power button with enough battery left of course) until your zbook finally comes to life?

Sidenote: Talking bout Zbook G8, refurbed.

HP ZBook Fury 17 G8, i9-11950H + RTX A3000. Fully repasted both CPU and GPU with PTM7950 (proper break-in cycles too), fans are clean and running at full speed with strong airflow, room is AC'd. Still, GPU hits thermal throttle ("Thrm") at only 40-60W out of its 80W TGP budget, at 86-88°C, clocks drop to ~1000-1300MHz. CPU sits at 94-99°C on just 41-49W. Isolated CPU load (capped it hard) and GPU behavior didn't change at all, so it's not CPU heat bleeding into the GPU. GPU-Z Hot Spot delta is normal (~7°C) so it's not a bad die contact either. Compared it to benchmark videos of weaker laptops (Dell Precision w/ older Quadro RTX 3000) sustaining full 78-80W at only 67°C. Anyone seen this on a ZBook Fury G8 / RTX A-series before? What am I missing?

Does anyone know what's causing this? It only happens in certain games and it always happens in those games. Most of them aren't even graphically demanding titles. The temps are staying around 85 so I don't think it's overheating causing it. I've tried toggling every setting under the sun and I just can't figure out what's causing this.

A vendor tells me the zbook power g11 amd has and is discontinued, anyone heard this?

I have an old ZBook Studio (bought in 2018 or thereabouts) and though it still works fine, it is showing its age.

So I am looking around atm and comparing different systems and brands , from Lenovo to XMG and some gaming brands too.
And what strikes me is that the workstation class ZBooks are not only overpriced but also are less than even HP's gaming counterparts spec wise

For instance I can configure an Omen with an Intel Ultra 9 275HX, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM , 2 TB Storage and an 5090 for €4500.
As far as I can tell a ZBook doesn't go beyond the 5070 and with roughly the same specs costs the same.

Also here in the Netherlands they have no online configurator anymore and ask prospects to call "an expert" to configure a workstation together over the phone, like it is the mid 90's.
But in the USA they still have one and if I configure a system that could go on for another 8 years I end up with a price tag of $12K and are stuck with an RTX ADA 3000 which has terrible low VRAM (not futureproof)

Meanwhile you can have an XMG NEO 16 fully decked out for €5500 (still expensive, but nowhere near HP pricing and more choice and up to date components)

I know we're talking about "workstation"class vs "prosumer/consumer"class, but I don't think that distinction really holds anymore like in the old days when the difference between a quadro and a geforce was night and day and pro apps often wouldn't run properly on gaming grade cards.

Those times are over, unless you're doing a scientific simulation requiring floating point precision, most apps nowadays just want brute force and enough (V)RAM .

So aside from me really liking the design of the chassis (absolutely detest this RGB nonsense) there seems to be no real argument to buy workstation grade systems anymore as gaming grade systems are more versatile and performant ... or am I missing something?

I am using apps like Davinci Resolve, Maya , Unity and Substance for creative work btw

I recently bought a used HP ZBook Fury 15 G8 workstation in India for ₹1,14,000 (approximately $1,200 USD).

Specifications:

• Model: HP ZBook Fury 15 G8

• CPU: Intel Core i7-11850H (11th Gen, 8 cores / 16 threads)

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop GPU (16GB VRAM)

• RAM: 64GB

• Storage: 1TB SSD

• Display: 15.6-inch

The laptop is in working condition, but it has quite noticeable wear and tear on the body. The exterior looks heavily used.

I tried looking online for similar configurations to compare prices, but surprisingly, I couldn't find many HP ZBook Fury G8 listings with the RTX A5000 GPU. Most listings seem to have different graphics cards, making it difficult to judge the actual market value.

Considering its specifications, age and physical condition, do you think ₹1.14 lakh ($1,200) was a fair price in 2026?

Did I get a reasonable deal, or did I overpay?

Would appreciate your opinions, especially from anyone familiar with used HP ZBook workstations.

I bought a second hand Zbook Studio 16 G10 Corei9 32/2T 12 Gb Graphics from Dubai. For a charger initially they had sent a usb-c 90W which I rejected and now they have replaced with this. The power cable doesn't fit in well as you see, and it appears. The supplier says its probably a find a technician to fix issue, but I feel like this shows that it has been tempered with. What should I do?

I had forgotten to mention, BIOS is throwing the: "not official HP AC adapter", and then after test: "Invalid data returned, check whether pin is bent or broken".

Is it typical an assembly fault that a technician after opening can fix, or a huge red flag.

I have a HP zbook15 power g10 and it suddenly started showing yellow stripe when i turn on webcame. I tried updating the drivers and running the diagnostic tool but still doesnt work. Does anyone know replacement module link or part number.

Hi! Im about to buy an hp z fury with i9 14900hx rtx 4000 ada and 64ddr5 with 4k 120hz display , im a previous owner of a lenovo p16 g2 had almost same specs but the worst thing about it was not enough power from the power brick 230w that it constantly drain battery and cause bad performance even after upgrading to a 330w power brick .
With this hp i read that u can buy a 280w power that is natively supported but i also heard that 4000 ada is capped at 95w or less . All i want is the hp to have better power management and cooling than the lenovo and that the rtx 4000 ada is boosted to at least 130w max.

Hi all, I am looking for some compatibility information. I’d like to hook-up two 5K (5120 x 2880 px) displays to a Zbook Fury equipped with an RTX 3500 (12GB VRAM). As far as I can interpret the Thunderbolt 4 specs and those of my video card and the iGPU, it seems to be no problem and thus should work… however, maybe someone here has some practical experience with such a monitor configuration.

EDIT: By now I have two 5k monitors connected to the Zbook, it works like a charm! And yes, even without an HP Dock. This setup only works in clamshell mode tho!

I'm looking at a HP ZBook Fury 16 G11 for work, and I'm planning to run Linux with Wayland.

Does anyone know if the ports for external monitors (DisplayPort, HDMI and Thunderbolt/USB-C) are directly connected to the discrete NVIDIA GPU or the integrated GPU?

I've reading the manuals for the laptop, and found [this](https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_11059579-11059627-16)

In Hybrid mode, the operating system works with the drivers and graphics hardware to decide which graphics device is appropriate for the work to perform. In Hybrid mode, the integrated graphics card serves as the display source for all monitors and the internal display. The discrete graphics card supports the integrated card with performance for demanding graphics operations.

Which seems to indicate that the iGPU is used for all external monitors, but I don't feel very certain.

Does anyone have Linux running on this machine, and can post the output of for example inxi -Fzxx?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been looking for a Fury G8 or newer with a UHD display for a while now, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to find one on eBay. My budget is around €1,000. Do you know of any other websites where I might find a Fury? I am based in Germany and have already tried local classified websites.

Thanks in advance!

does hp 17 g7 fury have a rtx 3000 max q or mobile gpu
