HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1xxx upgrade

[Superdizzle09]

I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1xxx and want to upgrade to an Intel i9-10850k 5.2 GHz without changing the motherboard. Is this possible or will I have to buy a full new motherboard?

@Superdizzle09,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

According to HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Baker | HP® Customer Support, your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1160xt CTO (HP Baker Motherboard 8767), is only compatible with 65 watt TDP 10th gen Intel processors.  The most powerful processors that complies with this TDP limit are the i7-10700 and the i7-10700F and maybe the i9-10900 / i9-10900F, but the performance difference between an i7-10700/F and an i9-10900/F doesn't warrant the extra money spend: UserBenchmark: Intel Core i7-10700 vs i9-10900.

Yes, I understand perfectly where you are coming from: the i9-10850K should theoretically be compatible with your LGA1200 socket and Intel H470 chipset, but it has a TDP of 125 watt, which makes it incompatible.

Also, I could not find any HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1160xt CTO's online fitted with anything beyond an i7-10700F: UserBenchmark: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-1xxx Compatible Components.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,

hi

this model is not here, because it is configurable, it is still in the shop here
Personally I have a little question, what configuration do you have originally, because it is basic with maybe 8 gb of ram and a basic graphics card gtx 1650
So if you don't have better like the minimum rtx 3060 proposed, it may be of interest to change the processor here
