Can I add a graphics card to my Envy TE01-0034 PC?

[coachtim30]

I would eventually like to add a video card to my new Envy TE01-0034  PC.  Does anyone know if there is enough room in the tower to do so?  Do I have enough power to do this?   I have a 3.2 gig processor that's an Intel 8th gen Core i7 

Thanks.

@coachtim30,

Yes you can add a GPU (video) but you will need a proprietary PSU (power) to complete the upgrade.

Your unit, as shown, has an 180W PSU.   This spreadsheet will give your guidance. You want to study page 2.

The "families" are represented, TE01, TG01, TP01, M01.  I have listed my research into various models of these families. It is not all-inclusive, as it hard to keep up with all the models. But, the logic of each should be understandable. Look at the TE01-0020, it had a 180W PSU, but the owner upgraded, hence the GREEN X and the card GTX 1650 Super installed.

In a real world situation, I would suggest you turn it off. Pull the power cord. Open/remove the side panel.

Cut a piece of heavy stock card board 4.3 inch high, and 10.0 inches long. Try to insert it over the PCIEx16 slot area.. Place against the back inside edge.  If too long, cut 1/2 inch and repeat until you have the maximum length.

1) Now you have the length of whatever GPU card would fit.
