PSU Upgrade for TP01-2096

[Kazilla2000]

My new graphic card requires a 350 watt PSU with a 6-pin power connector.  My PC came with a 280 watt PSU.  Is there a PSU that I can buy to upgrade it?

@Kazilla2000 -- is this your computer: HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2096 PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

Unfortunately, that web-page lists nothing about the availability of alternate power-supplies.

Take the computer to a local owner/operator computer store. They will determine the physical dimensions of the space available for a different power-supply, and the number and type of connectors (SATA, 4-pin, 6-pin, 8-pin, power) that you will need to connect to your motherboard and your components.

Don't walk into a automotive tire-store, and buy the first tire that you see, because it probably won't fit. You'll need help to find a tire compatible with your other tires. Same caution for buying a power-supply.

Hi,

Check this forum thread (Link) to upgrade your PSU.

These PSUs seem to be for "Erica 2" motherboards, but I need ones for "Erica 6" motherboards.  Are they compatible with Erica 6's?

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge those power supply upgrades work with the TP01 case and all motherboards HP uses in that case. The MB architecture, power supply design, and case layout are uniform to limit manufacturing costs.

HP also uses the Intel CPU socket backplate mounting design on AMD motherboards to limit manufacturing costs; the Intel square layout versus the AMD rectangular layout. HP uses the same air cooled heatsink/fan on Intel and AMD systems.

Your choice, take the chance or wait for forum confirmation.

HP does not provide info on this. Check this You Tube video (Link) from HP that shows how to remove and install a power supply in various cases. TP01 is on the list. The power supply connections to the MB are uniform across the cases referenced in the previous HP video link.
