Updating Graphics Card

[k999s]

Hello,

I have a HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3025t and I was trying to upgrade my graphics card, as I am trying to play games on this PC. The graphics card I have is the Geforce GTX 1660, and I tried fitting in but It needed a power supply with an 8pin, but this PC does not have an 8pin slot coming from the Power supply and I was looking at other slots that was connected to the power supply, which are PWR, PWRCMD, and PWRCPU. Im wondering if I am able to use an adapter for those slots and connect it to the graphics card, or would I have to buy an entirely new power supply, or is there any other graphics card that are required without power? Thank you.

@k999s,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Your HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3025t (22U57AA) as fitted with the Reno motherboard (SSID: 89B5) and powered by a 310-watt power supply.

There are no power supply adapters available for this system to make an industry standard ATX power supply work, only proprietary HP power supplies are compatible.

I would recommend upgrading your power supply to a 400-watt unit with p/n: L04618-800, which is equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power supply cable. You can purchase one of these power supplies online, such as via this trusted eBay Seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/316079746118?_skw=L04618-800&itmmeta=01JNAVBP2NXMDTGN7G5NN5QGFR&hash=item49....
