Hello! Recently I upgraded my ram to 32GB (2x16) of DDR4 RAM. I am thinking about upgrading my PSU to possibly support a better CPU. Currently I have an Intel i5 - 10400. If it's possible to swap the CPU, what would you all recommend? (I have been looking at the i7-10700). Due to swapping the CPU, I was wondering if 500 watts would be enough since I've mainly seen the 500 watt be the top psu upgrade for the TG01s. Any responses/recommendations would be extremely helpful. Have a nice day!
Specs: TG01-1160xt CTO
RAM: 32 GB 2666 DDR4
CPU: Intel i5-10400
GPU: RTX 2070
PSU: HP 400 watt
SSD: 500 GB
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1160xt (8MP64AV) is fitted with a Baker motherboard (SSID: 8767) and its power supply can be upgraded to a 500-watt PSU, p/n: L05757-800 -but you already knew that.
However, an RTX 2070 is recommended to be powered by a 500-watt power supply to avoid graphics throttling.
Now, both the i5-10400 and the i7-10700 / i7-10700F have the same TDP: 65-watt, so a processor upgrade is not going to make much of a difference in power usage. It definitely would improve your gaming experience, though: UserBenchmark: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1xxx Compatible Components.
Hope this was helpful.
