Hi,

Can I fit a Nvidia Quadro K4000 graphics card to a HP Z230 TOWER PC?

 

Also, will I need to upgrade the 400w psu to a higher powered psu and if so what would you suggest?

 

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else but I am now so confused I really need help...

Regards, Des UK

@Rushfreek,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

Yes, a Nvidia Quadro K4000 3GB graphics card will fit in your HP Z230 Tower, as shown by this User, for example.

 

Since a K4000 card requires one 6-pin PCIe power cable, and a number of sources -such as this one, recommended a 400-watt power supply, I would suggest you should upgrade to a 400-watt power supply.  You could purchase the stock HP Z230 Tower 400-watt power supply, with HP p/n: 705045-001, which you can buy via eBay-UK sellers here.

 

Just out of morbid curiosity: why a K4000?  Just be aware that this card scores even lower than a GT 1030, which is pretty much good only for browsing and watching YouTube.

 

Kind Regards,
