Hi:

According to the parts list for your PC it has a 310W power supply...

HP PartSurfer

L10875-800

Power Supply - GNRC PSU 310W SFF Entl18 FR Gold

@Mahsih, you have a powerful pc there, very powerful low power cpu. As stated, your pc has 320watt with a part number  ofL10875-800. You should consider upgrading your power supply since the GPU of your choice (GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER) demands a 450watt psu. Therefore, a 500watt rated hp psu is ok for you. Open your PC and check the PSU rating as well as the pin connections. L05757-800 part number 500watt psu could be ideal choice for you GPU.

is  L05757-800 officially supported to replace 310W power supply in TE01-3254?  i don't want to blow motherboard.

i have attempted to contact hp support but they have no clue and couldn't even answer question.  i was transferred then to sales which said to talk to support (who transferred me).  LOL  cannot get good help these days so quite embarrassing.

thank you

@Bee9110, don't worry! There is nothing to blow in there. The mother board takes what it needs. It doesn't matter the PSU is 500watt or 1000watt. What you should be concerned is if it physically fits in that SFF chassis of yours. HP people never answer such questions as these products are not standard ones and standard spares doesn't fit electrically/physically. That's why we, the HP community dedicate ourselves to help each other. If you post a clear picture of your board and some connections near the PSU, I can confirm the PSU 100%. If you buy, you have some options. The new hp SFF and the old L05757-800 but the external adapter inverted (to be fitted for SFF like yours) are available in the market.

Takecare of what you choose. If you say more what your loads are (like: GPU, RAM, SSD etc), I can suggest you a more reliable wattage. Most people misled by the wattage on the PSU, but think about efficiency, as most PSUs are 80% and above efficiency and the rest is a loss in the form of heat (thermal energy). If your PSU is a gold standard 500watt.means you have a working power of (500*0.9 at least = 450wtt.). And If your loads are 50 to 70% of the PSU, means generally your PSU runs more efficiently and you won't need more fans as some duds do. Good luck and keep us posted. 

If you found this helpful, confirm by clocking YES for others to see and benefit from it.

Jumping in here to get YOUR opinion (shopping for this exact unit):

Is 310w powerful enough for integrated i7-12700?  (do NOT game)

[TexasIndian]

Hey Mahsih, willing to help out a fellow member?

Other than you must be a gamer (which I am NOT)

what's your honest opinion(s) of your TE01-3254?

(I'm currently shopping for the exact same unit)

Thanks

It’s not great for gaming.. if you want to game you will have to get a graphics card and all that **bleep**.. but if you wanna add a graphics card, you will have to upgrade the power supply, and in my opinion This is a good pc for light gaming and a powerful pc for other activities that don’t include gaming, streaming or video editing. Honestly just better to build a new pc off scratch.. if U have other questions u can just msg me on discord Mahsih#6071 .. because I barely check this site 

[Lake15HesT]

@TexasIndian, glad you jump in! Welcome to hp community. 

Intel CPUs have low TDP, to be precise not more than 60watt. If you don't have graphic card and don't game, 310watt is more than enough for your daily activity and academic or production work, entertainment etc. You can even have a low-end dedicated GPU that only draws power from the mob PCIe x16.

Don't hesitate to ask if something is not clear or if you have more questions.

PS that comes with PC doesn't have power connector for new grahpics card.  I bought a 1650 to upgrade. Does anyone know what type PS this is?
