will a gtx1650 low profile work in my 8200 elite sff

[squall50008]

Hi i have a question if not too much trouble will a gtx 1650 work which is low pofile it uses the same tdp of 75w max and a psu requirement of 250w having trouble finding any gtx1050 ti's in stock.

I'm thinking this will since the power requirements are the same any help would be great on this cheers

if you google the specs of the official HP supported cards for this model you will note that they are all around 35 watts

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/setup-user-guides/hp-compaq-8200-elite-small-form-factor-pc/503...

this is because HP needs to have power available for any/all of the optional add-ons such as more drives, more memory sticks optional memory card reader cd/dvd drive

this all must remain within the systems 240 watt power supply

to run a card with with higher wattage than 35 watts you need to either not add any optional parts

this results in a borderline configuration and may cause problems

i  recommend replacing the stock cpu line with a "S" series low power cpu

example: Core i7-2600 (95 watts) vs core i7-2600S (65 watts)

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/52215/intel-core-i72600s-processor-8m-cache-up-...

just replacing the cpu with a low power model will free up 30 watts which can go to the video card

the gtx 1650 is a 75 watt card which is 40 watts over the HP 35 watt spec

so a stock 8200 SFF system with no addon parts, and a low power "S" cpu should be able to run a 1650 card safely

you should not have to remove memory dimms, and if you should have any issues simply remove the blue ray optical device to a external usb self powered case
