PSU Upgrade/Replacement

[jesseatmjohnson]

I ordered this model with a 2060 Super and Ryzen 7. It offered a 400W upgrade, but I'm seeing that the 2060 Super requires a 550+. Basically, I jumped without enough research. I can't find PSU specs anywhere other than 400W. Anyone have any help as to size or fully/partially modular or anything? and I'm trying to debate if 750W is overkill. I just want to have a new PSU ready to swap when it arrives in a couple weeks.

@jesseatmjohnson , welcome to the Community.

HP engineers their components to work with one another.  The 400W PSU that is in your computer will be fine.  You won't have to upgrade.

The motherboard is HP proprietary.  It only has a 4-pin power connector instead of a standard 24-pin ATX power connector.  Therefore, you will have to buy any upgrade directly from HP.  The only other PSU that they offer for your computer is 500W (L05757-800).  Here is a Power Supply Cross-Reference Chart to show you where I got this information: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Knowledge-Base/Power-Supply-Cross-Reference-for-specific-model...

Your exact model is not listed, but all of the connectors on the TG01 series are the same.

Ok, it had me worried being that it was 150W less than recommended. I didn't see the link you said you had?

The reason that you didn't see the link is because I forgot to add it!! 😉  It is there now.

Enjoy you new computer!

I still feel worried. Haha. Then again, I'm still fairly ignorant to all of this! Thank you!

HP sells thousands of these computers with the same configuration.  You don't have to worry.  I would appreciate hearing how your computer runs once it arrives.

Enjoy!!
