HP ProDesk G1 600 SFF PSU Upgrade

[Arun_Aravind]

I have a "HP ProDesk G1 600 SFF" it has a i5-4590 I thought of adding a GTX 1060 or a 1050 Ti to it but the PSU is a 80+ Platinum 240w and the motherboard doesn't seem to have the usual 24 pin connector it looks different. Does anyone have any idea of what PSU I could get to fit inside that Case and connect to the motherboard and power up the entire thing and also allow me to add one of those 2 GPU.
Approx. 400W PSU

*Would also like to know how much the PSU would cost
*Dosent matter if the PSU is 80+Bronze or Gold or Platinum or even not 80+

Adding a full-sized gaming card or enthusiast PSU to an SFF (small form factor desktop PC is not going to work.

The problems are:

1) The PSU is a proprietary format, not a standard ATX PSU.

2) There is a very limited space inside the SFF desktop case. Full-sized PCIe x16 cards are too long and also too high.

I would just add a low profile GTX 1050ti or 1060 and I’m looking for any PSU that would fit inside that SFF case n have proper connectors for the motherboard and has enough capacity to run everything like a 350 or 400w. I guess the 240w 80+ platinum couldn’t power a GTX 1050ti or 1060 card

Finding a SFF power supply that has enough power may be a real issue.

" I guess the 240w 80+ platinum couldn’t power a GTX 1050ti or 1060 card "   I would say there is no chance that it would power a decent video card.

Is there no way to get an PSU Upgrade for this motherboard not even 3rd party PSUs?

The following Youtube video shows a guy upgrading his HP ProDesk G1 600 SFF. He used a low profile Gigabyte GeForce 1050Ti 4GBand installed 16GB.  He did not upgrade his PSU. So it may or may not work.

 Take a read of the following discussion at another forum about the same PC you have.

Yes I had seen the same video but my first card in preference list is GTX 1060 and then GTX 1050ti and also that guy didn’t switch on the system and ran a gaming test or benchmark or stress test to see if it runs without any issues or harming any components in the system
These are the two reasons why I came to ask questions directly to the HP guys(I mean you guys the forum)

I noticed that as well. I suspect it may not even boot up.

I wouldn't do it. Even putting the motherboard in a normal case presents obstacles. The proprietary six pin connector is one of them.

We generally try our best to convince owners of low-end productivity PCs like yours to not waste their hard earned money on trying to make a gaming PC out of them.

Your PC is almost a worst case upgrade scenario that is full of frustrations.

Actually, I am currently running a Nvidia GTX1050 ti with a lesser cpu and 16gb of HyperX ram and run both Rust on beautiful settings and PubG on very high with questionable Internet service, one year with no issues. I am planning on a better CPU and SSD if only I could find a power supply alternative. Why wouldnt the 320W power supply from the HP Prodesk 600g1 none SFF not work for our systems?
