Power Supply upgrade from 180w to something better for HP Envy TE-01-0014

[joshu246]

Hello!

I was wondering if it would be possible to upgrade the current PSU in my Envy TE01-0014 to something like  400w/500w PSU? I currently have a 180w PSU in my current PC and I want to upgrade it to a higher wattage so I can have more headroom to install a graphics card like an RTX 2060 or RTX 3050. I currently have a GT 1030 and an i5-8400 with a 512gb SSD along with 16GB of DDR4 that the 180W PSU can handle, but I'm not sure a low power card like a RTX 3050 low profile card which uses 70W max would work with the little amount of power I have. I see a lot of brand new 400W-500W HP PSU replacements for around $60-$80 on eBay and Amazon but I'm not sure if they would fit or work with the current PC I have. I think I've heard that standard PSUs from other brands don't fit or work without some adapters in most HP computers so I'm trying to stick with official power supplies.

@joshu246,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

Your HP ENVY Desktop - TE01-0014 (6YQ60AA) as fitted with a Rother motherboard (SSID: 8653) is compatible with either a 400-watt power supply with p/n: 942332-001 (L76557-003) which is equipped with one 6+2-pin (8-pin) PCIe power cable, or a 500-watt power supply with p/n: L05757-800, which is equipped with one 6+2-pin (8-pin) and one 6-pin PCIe power cables.

Both power supplies can be purchased online such as via eBay.

Purchase examples using a trusted eBay Seller:

400-watt: New 400W Power Supply for HP 280 288 285 480 600 680 800 G3 G4 L76557-003 | eBay

500-watt: New For HP ENVY Desktop - 795-0003UR L05757-800 Power Supply PSU 500W Silver US | eBay

Personally, I would suggest getting the 400-watt power supply which can power a smaller-sized (two fan) RTX 4060 model powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this competitively priced purchase example via Amazon.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
