I have a Pavilion TP01-3007NA.
I've purchased this very recently without knowing a great deal about computers. However, I'm now learning lots of new things, particularly the hard way.
Anyways, I've yet to power it up for the first time as I wanted to upgrade it as best I could before putting it to work.
I'd like to upgrade to a semi-decent GPU and from other posts, have noticed that the PSU will also need upgrading.
The motherboard in this model is a Reno, revision A, M11.
It has a 4pin P1, a 4pin P3 and a 7pin P2/PWRCMD.
Will the 500w PSU I've seen suggested in other posts fit this model. I contacted the company on Amazon selling them and they said they only fit Envy range?
If it will fit, what is the best GPU I should safely be looking at? And would I need any additional adaptors?
If it doesn't, the same question but for the existing 310w PSU?
Additional info:
1TB SSD
4TB HDD
16GB RAM (will add another 16gb)
Intel i7
310w PSU
Apologies for the essay 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!
I can definitely assist you.
Your HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3007na PC (8D6W9EA) as fitted with a Reno motherboard (SSID: 89B5).
Your processor is either an i7-12700 or an i7-12700F. These are the best processors that would be compatible with your desktop, and they are outstanding gaming CPUs anyway. The next step up, an i7-12700K, has a whopping 125-watt "base power" TDP and a 190-watt "turbo power" TDP. This power demand makes this CPU incompatible with your PC.
Your 310-watt power supply has p/n: L10875-800 "Power Supply - GNRC PSU 310W SFF Entl18 FR Gold".
It so happens that there are two additional power supplies compatible with your desktop:
There is a 350-watt PSU with p/n: M49611-001 "POWER SUPPLY UNIT 350W EPA90 Estar8.0 12V 2OUT", as verified here.
And the best one, a 500-watt PSU with p/n: L81009-800 "Power Supply - 500W WS20 FR Gold", as verified here.
With a 500-watt power supply, you can safely install an outstanding GPU, such as an RTX 2060 Super, RTX 2070, RTX 3060, or an RTX 4060. Some RTX 4070 models such as this one, appears to be compatible as well, as verified here.
Hope this was helpful.

I have received the new PSU, I had to order one with a different part number (L77487-003) but was assured it was the correct part.
I've noticed that on the original P2/PWRCMD 7pin connector, there are only three wires present. However, there are six wires present on this new connector. Will there be any detrimental effect on these extra wires being connected to the board?
Just thought I'd double check before connecting to the power for the first time.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

No, you should not have to worry about it -yea, been there, done that a few times. Meaning, the power supply should either work, or it doesn't. Additional wires are generally less problematic than dealing with fewer wires in my experience.
Nevertheless, since there are so many PSU variants out there, please proceed cautiously, that is, install the power supply and power on without the side/top case panel, watching/listening for anything that doesn't appear kosher, so to speak.
Let me know how it goes.

Just thought I'd report back.
The aforementioned PSU works as it should. No issues are apparent.
I decided to go with a 1660ti GPU and added a 4tb HDD and 2x 16GB Corsair Vengeance ram sticks. Had to buy a special adapter for the the GPU to connect to the power so I could get the case back on.
Pleased to report that all is working well.
Thanks again for your help and advice. All very much appreciated.
