Power Supply Upgrade for HP M01-F3003w / M01-F3xxx

[ceruleanskye]

I'd like to get a better power supply (400 watts or more, hopefully 500 watts) in order to throw a much better graphics cards into this computer. This model I recently bought comes with a meager 180 watt power supply that is not even sufficient even for my 75 watt GTX 1650, with which it often blue screens due to low power, so I suppose I need to upgrade the PSU regardless as I cannot work with the integrated graphics.

Preferably the new PSU would have a PCIe power cable as well, to power the new graphics card.

In order to complete work I need to do with this computer, I'll need to upgrade the PSU. Is that possible? Thanks so much.

@ceruleanskye,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

There are two compatible power supply upgrade options available for your PC:

1.) 400-watt: p/n: L04618-800

2.) 500-watt: p/n: L05757-800

You can purchase these power supplies online, such as via eBay or Amazon.

Hi, thanks so much for the quick and concise answer!

I found this part on eBay. Could you confirm that it's the correct one? I examined the one inside my own computer and the two look almost identical, although I'd just like to make sure before making the purchase.

@ceruleanskye,

I believe this power supply should work, but because a comprehensive HP power supply compatibility chart is missing, you are taking a risk buying from a PRC Seller.  Personally, I would strongly recommend buying from a US Seller who allows for a free return, such as this eBay purchase option: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314525580056?_skw=901759-013&itmmeta=01JDK6SA2FDGFH8CA1PJ7NX89J&hash=item49....
