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

@mumbojumbo3000,

 

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.

 

Kind Regards,

@mumbojumbo3000,

 

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,
