Pavilion TP01-2227c Graphic Card Upgrade

[rv4mike]

What options do I have for a grapic card upgrade for a Pavilion TP01-2227c without a power supply upgrade? If a power supply upgrade is required, what P/N power supply would be needed. 

Prefer not to upgrade the power supply if possible at this time however not against it.

@rv4mike,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

It appears that your HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000i (1K4B7AV) is fitted with a 310-watt power supply (p/n: L10875-800), and this power supply model is either equipped with one 6-pin, or one 8-pin, or no PCIe power cable.  Please let me know exactly what you got.

The best you can do with a 310-watt power supply is a GTX 1660 Super or GTX 1660 Ti.  These cards require one 8-pin PCIe power cable, but depending on what PCIe power cable your power supply is equipped with, you can use a dual SATA or PCIe power supply adapter cable.

Preferably, in my opinion at least, you should upgrade your power supply with a 400-watt power supply (p/n: L04618-800), so that you can upgrade your graphics card with one of the smaller-sized (two fan) RTX 4060 models powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this affordable purchase example via Amazon.

Kind Regards,

@rv4mike,

Like I mentioned, the 400-watt power supply upgrade has part number L04618-800.  The 500-watt power supply upgrade compatible with your PC has p/n: L05757-800.
