Hi, I am looking at putting my gpu from my i7 870 into the hp 285 g3 ryzen 3 2200g. I know the psu is 180w but I'm not sure if it's enough power for the gtx750ti. The gtx750ti has a 6 pin power connector. I have been trying to find out if the psu in the hp 285 g3 is an ATX but I cannot find out anywhere. Please can anyone let me know if I can run the gtx750ti without changing the psu or if the psu in the hp 285 g3 is an ATX? Thank you.

@Sneaky__Prawn,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

The average GTX 750 Ti requires a minimum 300 watt power supply as per: GeForce GTX 750 Ti | Specifications | GeForce (nvidia.com) and as you mentioned needs one 6-pin PCIe power cable.

 

According to page 47 in this HP 285 G3 Microtower Business PC Maintenance and Service Guide, it appears that your desktop is fitted with a 24-pin ATX power slot: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06067212.

Short story: even if your 180 watt power supply has a 6-pin PCIe power cable, it wouldn't have enough juice to power a GTX 750 Ti.  But the good news is that if your motherboard is indeed ATX-enabled, any industry standard ATX power supply would work, providing you watch its dimensions (LxWxH) to see if it would fit in your chassis to replace the original power supply.

 

Hope this is helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
