Upgrading PSU/GPU on a HP 280 G2 (SFF)

[PetranEVO]

Hello to all and i welcome myself here.

I have bought from a friend, a HP 280 G2 SFF with burned PSU ,due to his electricity was of the charts , so once i am doing the change of the PSU ,i am thinking of getting a GPU also , to benefit more from it.

Thinking of those parts:

1. nVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1030 LP OC 2GB DDR5 PCI-E HDMI DP (This for GPU,but don't know if it's a UEFI Bios GPU ,because the HP280 is with UEFI BIOS only)

2. About the PSU ,couldn't find a correct brand or something like that so i found only this : FSP/Fortron Flex ATX 250W 85+

The PSU that has inside is a "DPS-250AB-22 A",which is dead.

So don't know the type that i should search to may find more brands and better ones.

Do you believe that it can work like this ?

@PetranEVO, welcome to the forum.

Your computer is a business model.  Therefore, it is not engineered to be upgraded to any extent.  Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the computer.  On Page 16 it has all of the information on the video cards that are compatible.  As stated, the cards must be low-profile.

The information on the power supply unit (PSU) is very limited.  It only shows that it is 180W, but no information on other PSU's that are compatible.  You may have to replace it with the same one.  You can use HP Partsurfer to find it.

First of all thanks for the reply but i already know that is a business model.

Also if you saw or even considered you would see the graphics card that i posted was LP (low profile) i know what it needs.

I don't know if the GTX1050 has a UEFI support BIOS.

Because if it has then i can easily make it happen.

Also about the PSU i know there are not much information ,but i would prefer to take another PSU rather than using a HP again , which is much more expensive and not an upgrade of course.

That's why i asked what would be a solution for the PSU upgrade, i mean what is the type of the PSU needed , i mean : ATX,PS2,ESX,TFX,TCS etc. what is the type .

On the other hand i would just make sure that i would be able to upgrade it and i am sure that it happen..
