I'm planning to buy a graphics card that needs a 6-pin power connector. There is 6-pin cable in the case, but it is labeled p4. Will this work with a graphics card?

@MrMan7716 , welcome to the forum.

 

I don't believe that the P4 cable will work with a video card.  From what I have read, it is used with a processor.  The video card  cables are marked PCIe.  Since your power supply unit (PSU) doesn't have this cable, you would have to upgrade it.  This presents a problem.  The standard ATX power connector is 24-pin.  The power connector on your motherboard is a HP proprietary 4-pin.  You would need an adapter from 24-pin to 4-pin to make it work.  I have not been able to find any adapters anywhere on the Internet.

@MrMan7716,

Just where is this plug marked "P4" sourced?   The motherboard?

Would you like to verify what you have said?  Is this HP 590-p0050 your machine? If so, it has a LINCS motherboard with a proprietary PSU. The PSU found in the HP 590, 595, 690, 790, and 795 are all proprietary plugs. The main power and CPU power are a 2x2 (4 pin) power lead to the motherboard. The inline 7 pin is the fan plug.

The cable is a 6pin and it is marked p4 on the part where most computers have it marked pci-e. This cable comes out of the power supply and is currently unused

@MrMan7716,

The correct markings for a PCIE power plug is found here.

 P4 connector is a 2x2 connector, and not for PCIE.  See here, and named "4 pin ATX +12 volt power cable".

What is the 310W PSU part number, the L03980-800 or L64961-800. Curious which has this cable.

Just what GPU card are you interested in?

 

That 310W can handle a gtx1050 2gb card.

The product number for the power supply is 937516-004. I am also confused because the cable is a 6 pin, not a 4 pin, and my cable is labeled p4. If you look up the power supply you will see the image of the 6 pin cable I am talking about.

@MrMan7716 

Thank for for your continued info. The 937516-004 is not the listed PSU for the unit. In fact, it belongs to another HP product family, the Prodesk 280, 288 series G3. See here.

HP does not recognize your existing part number for the HP 590 p0050
