HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-023w Graphics Card Upgrade Recommendations

[daian11501]

Hey, I have an HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-023w. The PC specs are: 

• Motherboard: Odense2-K
• Processor: Intel Core i5-7400 (Up to 3.5GHz)
• Memory: 8 GB DDR4 2400MHz
• Video graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB)

The power supply is only 300 watts and I'm replacing it with 500 watts. I installed 2x8 16gb ram 3200mah. Also, I'm installing a new CPU Intel I7-7700. One question I have is what graphics card should I get to replace my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB). The GTX 1060 that I have has one fan since the PC case is kinda small. Please help me thanks!

@daian11501,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

Your HP Pavilion Power 580-023w Desktop PC (Z5N95AA) as fitted with an Odense2-K motherboard (SSID: 82F1) is indeed still a solid upgradeable gaming platform.

So, combining affordability, performance and size, one of the best GPU upgrades with a 500-watt power supply, in my opinion, would be an RTX 4060 OC 8GB, such as this model: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-rtx-4060-aero-itx-oc.b11828, or a slightly longer (two-fan) model (202 mm - 8 inches), which I believe would also fit in your PC (please measure!), such as this one: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-dual-rtx-4060-v2-oc.b11456.

This graphics card upgrade option would provide a huge improvement over your current card: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB/4150vs3646.

Btw, an Asus RTX 4060 OC 8GB is offered currently at a very reasonable price, such as this purchase option: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-DisplayPort-2-5-Slot-Axial-tech-Technology/dp/B0C7YPGFFW/ref=sr_1_1?crid....

Lastly, I know I am digressing, but your Odense2-K motherboard is also compatible with an i7-7700K, as you can see with this HP OMEN by HP Desktop PC 870-2XX User which is fitted with the very same motherboard: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53089719.

Hope this was helpful.

@daian11501,

I would also suggest installing identical 2 x 8GB 2400 MHz RAM sticks for best RAM performance.
