HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I have an HP Z2 G4 tower and here is the description :

 

- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz

- 16 GB RAM

- Integrated graphic card Intel UHD 630

- 2 x SSD 1 To Samsung

- PSU 500w

- BIOS version : Q50 Ver. 01.08.05 - 03/20/2023

 

I use this PC for processing my photos with Lightroom and DXO Photolab which require powerful GPUs for noise reduction functions.

 

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card with this model : ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 3060 O8G (LHR) ?

Is 500w power supply enough ?

 

Thank you for any help and advice you can give me...

you will need to replace the stock HP 250 watt power supply (L28758-001)  with the optional 500 watt HP unit

 

note that these power supplies are NOT ATX COMPATIBLE......you must use the HP power supply

 

HP part# L46603-003 (500 watt)

there is also a 650 watt unit DPS-650AB-30 A ,  L36048-003,  L36049-003,  L57253-003

Hi,

 

Thank you for your reply.

My Z2 G4 tower is already equipped with a 500w power supply.

The question is if 500w is enough to power the RTX 3060.

 

Thank you, and have a good day.

and if you reread my reply you will note i have answered this question by stating the 500 watt (or 650 watt) supply is needed for using a nvidia 3060

Thank you for that clarification.

 

Have a good day.
