Hello dear community,
I would like to upgrade my PC.
Its model number is: tpc-f124-mt.
The motherboards ID is:
8906
CPU:
Ryzen 5600G
RAM:
8GB; I currently upgraded it to 32GB.
PSU:
310W Gold PSU
GPU:
IGPU from Ryzen 5600G
Now I ordered a, what I thought fitting, PSU.
A TX700 Gold from Silverstone.
https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/power-supplies/TX700Gold/
But this one is a bit smaller than the original 310W Gold PSU from HP and it comes with a 24 pin connector, the motherboard, if I see that correctly gets from the original HP-PSU only a 4Pin CPU_PWR, a 4Pin SYS_PWR and a PWRCMD P2 connector.
So I assume the TX700 would be incompatible, or exist there any adapters I could use?
I chose the 700W PSU, because I wanted to install a Geforce 4060 TI (Nvidia recommends 550W at least).
Here someone mentioned to use only specific cables from the 24pin connector for the PWRCMD connection:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/11c063f/comment/ld9oxb7/
But don't really know if I should go that way.
Can I somehow safely connect the TX700 with the motherboard or exists there an HP-PSU alternative with ~700W?
I guess 600W or 650W would also work, but for future upgrades I thought 700W would be enough.
Or do you might have even other PSU recommendations?
I would still like to stick to the Geforce 4060TI.
Thanks in advance for taking a look.
Edit: I attached a picture of the PWRCMD, it has a green, grey and a black cable from the HP-PSU.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to our HP Community forum!
Your HP desktop Gaming PC TPC-F124-MT as fitted with an Erica6 motherboard (SSID: 8906) can be upgraded with this proprietary HP 500-watt power supply with p/n: L05757-800. Your PC is not compatible with TFX/ATX power supplies, and there are no TFX/ATX power adapters available either.
I would recommend a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 Ti powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this model: ASUS DUAL RTX 4060 Ti OC Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database. This 160-watt TDP graphics card can comfortably be powered by a 500-watt power supply.
Kind Regards,

Thank you very much for the fast reply.
That's very good to hear, I thought the 550W applies to every 4060 TI model.
And that's exactly the one I ordered, although in white: DUAL-RTX4060TI-O8G-WHITE
Many thanks for the linked webpage, they say indeed 450W would be enough. I will bookmark this page for future upgrades.
I hope the bigger PSU will fit, the PC case wasn't the black one of the gaming edition, it was this silver one:
I will measure it tomorrow.

No worries: the bigger power supply will fit just fine, just like it did with my most recent HP Pavilion TP01-3003W upgrade project -very similar to yours:

Thanks again.
I somehow thought to put the PSU horizontally into the case instead of vertically XD
I guess I found the right PSU here:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CLV5VWQL
But the brand is S-Union, I saw no HP-Logo. Do you know S-Union by any chance?
I haven't found any other sources where I could get that PSU to ship to Germany.
And btw. nice project you have there. So I assume this 650W would probably work, too?:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/266786883208
But it also doesn't have a HP-Logo.
Edit:
Found a original HP 500W PSU and much cheaper on ebay than the one on amazon:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/126625636089
Or do you know other sellers for the 500W PSU?

These power supplies don't need to be HP-branded.
HP either licenses or outsources pretty much all of their power supplies anyway.
In short: you are good to go -either with the 500-watt or 650-watt power supply.
