Elite 8300 SFF
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Elite 8300 SFF, I would like to add a GT1030 to the machine. I will either go for a 1030 OC low profile or a 1030 OC full size with a single fan. It is a pci-e x16 card and I have that on my HP motherboard. However as this is such a small pc I am wondering if the full size 1030 will fit. Thanks for the help.

Hi:

 

You will need the low profile card.

 

This brand/model should work just fine for you, and it comes with the low profile mounting brackets included in the box...

I recently installed a 1030 low profile in a ProDesk 400 SFF. You'll definitiely need a low profile card in a SFF case. Be very careful you purchase a 1030 card with DDR5 memory (not DDR4). There's a world of difference in the performance, it's quite outrageous the two cards even have the same name, do some searches on this and you'll see what I mean. Also be sure to choose a brand that has the output ports you'd prefer (HDMI/DVI/Display port/VGA) as this is one of the biggest differences between brands.
