HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2003na (54C79EA)

Am I barking mad? It has an AMD 5700G CPU with 310 Gold PSU.

I read that this same system on the HP site has a Nvidia Super 1660 with the same PSU,  with a TDP of 125 watts for GPU.

 

AMD RX 6600 has a TDP of 132 watts.

@barnettgs,

 

Greeting from across the Pond.

 

Your HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2003na PC (54C79EA) as fitted with an Erica6 motherboard (SSID: 8906) and a 310-watt power supply, probably with p/n: L10875-800 "Power Supply - GNRC PSU 310W SFF Entl18 FR Gold" -please verify.

 

According to this site, your 310-watt power supply may be fitted with either a 6-pin or an 8-pin PCIe power cable -or none, apparently.

 

Please let me know what you got.


Reason I mention this, is because both the GTX 1660 Super and the RX 6600 require one 8-pin PCIe power cable. If you power supply is not equipped with an 8-pin PCIe power cable, you'll need to upgrade you power supply. And according to the aforementioned site, you got options: either a 400-watt PSU with p/n: L04618-800, or a 500-watt PSU, with p/n: L05757-800.

 

Yes, you are correct that theoretically a 310-watt power supply should be able to power both a GTX 1660 Super (TDP: 125-watt) see: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1660-super.c3458, and an RX 6600 (TDP: 132-watt) see: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-6600.c3696, but the absence of an 8-pin PCIe power cable makes this highly undesirable, because you'd have to mess with a dual SATA 15-pin to 8-pin PCIe power adapter, and that is not advisable at all.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,

Greeting @NonSequitur777,

 

Sure, I have just taken a picture of this PSU and see if it is the correct one you want to see.  There are 6 and 2-pin cables lying unused - I presume these cables can be used together to plug into an 8-pin connector?

 

Many thanks!

@barnettgs,

 

If the 6+2 cables you mentioned ("P4") look like this, you're A-OK to go:

And yes indeed, the 2-pin PCIe cable slides into the 6-pin PCIe cable to create an 8-pin PCIe power cable.

HP Recommended

Yes, that's precisely the one I have.

 

Many thanks! 👍

In the end, I got myself an RTX 3050 instead.  Is there a BIOS option to disable the integrated GPU of 5700G?  So far, I can only disable it in the device manager, but it does not free up a part of the RAM allocated to the integrated GPU.

HP Recommended

@barnettgs,

 

Yea, in a perfect world, the integrated graphics should disable itself when you install a GPU.


Anyway, you should be able to go into BIOS and look for graphics settings, and "disable" it. This ought to free all your RAM.

 

Kind Regards,

 

NonSequitur777


HP Recommended

Ah, I should mention that there is no option to disable it in the BIOS and no advanced tab. I presume it is not possible with my HP PC?

@barnettgs,

 

How much RAM do you have -be as specific as possible: brand, model, capacity.
