Upgrade cpu

[Josh314]

I have the Hp Pavilion gaming desktop TG01-2xxx and wanted to know if I could upgrade from my 5600g cpu to the ryzen 9 7900x or if any other cpu’s  are compatible

@Josh314,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Looking around, so to speak, I see no indications that your Erica6 motherboard (SSID: 8906) supports any processors beyond the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G.

Kind Regards,

Not an upgrade like that, no. Unless you want to also replace the motherboard in the process your going to have to settle for CPUs with an AM4 socket (the one you have). Some Ryzen 7s would be a good choice for the matter, but just read product descriptions and make sure you only buy 'AM4' socket CPUs.

Although, I wouldnt recommend the upgrade personally. At most your looking at less then 1 GhZ frequency increase, and even then you'll have bottlenecks from the ram speed (which I dont think you can change). The CPU you have currently isn't that bad, so I'd just keep it.

@Josh314,

Even though upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700G may not provide an eyewatering processor performance improvement, but it is an upgrade (8-Cores, 16-Threads, 3.80 GHz up to 4.60 GHz, 65-watt TDP).  You can purchase one of these CPUs fairly inexpensively (around $125), such as this US-based eBay purchase option for as long as it lasts: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116400740238?_skw=ryzen+7+5700G&epid=1612110884&itmmeta=01JDG5ZNAN9DSM0X33D....
