What is the most recent CPU I can upgrade to for the HP 83E1 motherboard?
Currently operating a HP 800 G4 Elite desk with 24GB RAM, Intel I5 8600K with a MSI GeForce RTX 3050 LP OC 6GB Video Card running Windows 11 Pro.
Thanks in advance for your replies

Fastest compatible processors for your HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF:
#1: i7-8086K: (6-Cores, 12-Threads, 4.00 GHz up to 5.00 GHz, 95-watt TDP)
#2: i7-8700K: (6-Cores, 12-Threads, 3.70 GHz up to 4.70 GHz, 95-watt TDP)
When you upgrade your power supply to this 400-watt unit with p/n: 942332-001, you can upgrade your graphics card to a Low-Profile RTX 4060 such as this model: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/gigabyte-rtx-4060-low-profile-oc.b11375.
This GPU will require a minor modification to the internal drives bay (cutting off a small section), but that is perfectly doable, and you may have already done so with your LP RTX 3050 anyway.

Welcome to our HP Community forum!
It so happened that an HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF (motherboard SSID: 83E1) was an upgrade project of mine two years ago: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Upgrading-HP-EliteDesk-800-G4-S....
Now, please note, I really went berserko (way off the HP Reservation) with this project as you'll see. Incidentally, still holding the top three spots for this platform in Userbenchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/HP-EliteDesk-800-G4-SFF/94299.
Later on, upgraded this platform to an HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Upgrading-HP-EliteDesk-800-G5-S....
Btw, there is a compatible 500-watt power supply available for your PC with p/n: L77487-003.
Anyways, please take a look at my HP EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF upgrade thread, and if you have any questions, by all means, feel free to ask.
Kind Regards,
