I have an HP compaq 6305 pro and I'd like to upgrade it for a project.

 

If i put an nvme pcie card in it can the operating system boot from the nvme m.2 in the pcie slot

 

Also can I replace the power supply with a Silverstone tx 300 or a Apevia ITX-PFC500W?

@reapair89,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

I assume you got the HP Compaq Pro 6305 MT -not the SFF model.

 

The good news: yes, you can power this PC with an industry standard 24-pin ATX power supply when you use a compatible ATX power supply adapter, such as this Amazon purchase example: Amazon.com: COMeap 24 pin to 6 pin Adapter HP ATX Power Cable Compatible with Z200 Z210 Z220 Z230 Z2....

 

The bad news: no, you cannot use an M.2 NVMe SSD as your primary (boot) drive.  The system is too old for that.

 

Kind Regards,
