Do HP 280 G1 MT support i7 4790?

HP Recommended

According to the specs at the link below, the PC only supported processors 54W or less.

This user benchmarking site has reports of folks installing other processors than those listed in the HP specs:

 

UserBenchmark: HP 280 G1 ST Business PC Compatible Components

 

One such report does show you can install the i7-4790T (low wattage), not the i7-4790.

 

Intel® Core™ i7-4790T Processor

 

It has to be better than whatever processor your PC currently has installed.

My Desktop computer is 

HP 280 G1 MT

the one you mentioned is

HP280 G1 ST

So in my model the benchmark says

 

https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/HP-280-G1-MT/15224#Build

 

That i7 4790 must work,

 

I have a regular company inbuilt power supply do I need to upgrade it to make it work

I think that may be a problem

I think that thing may be a problem

Older one was 53 watt *pentium G3250*

Newer one is    84 watt *i7-4790*

 

•can you please reply me with a newer solution

•can you please also send me the pdf of HP 280 G1 MT like you sended in the previous one of the wrong model

So that I can see it detail

HP Recommended

This link indicates MT and shows the processors I had originally mentioned.  Low wattage.

Sorry but I can't help you because according to the specs, the processor is not supported.

 

Your PC came with a 180W power supply which should have been enough to power the i7-4790.

HP Recommended

The link I sended you of benchmark site

Shows that i7 4790 works 

And I check on PSU calculator that

My whole system makes 

Exactly 180watt as the power supply is

For i7 4790

And for

Pentium g3250 system

153 watt which is optimal for 180 watt PSU

SO what do you think the reason may be

Is it something else I am missing

 

May be BIOS update and all someting

HP Recommended

•What what is the conclusion according to you?

•And what will be the fastest processor in this system according to you that will support, if not that i7 4790?

 

Actually I buyed it and it is not refundable

Please 🙏 🥺 help

Don't go

HP Recommended

As I had mentioned the other day, the i7-4790T should work.
