HP Pavilion 590-p0057c
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Currently I have an HP Pavilion 590-p0057c (https://support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c05999904). Now I'm fine with the CPU performance, but I'm looking to upgrade my GPU (I have my eye on a single fan rx 570), however currently my power supply is only 310W, which I assume isn't enough watts for an upgraded GPU.

I looked just about everywhere but I can't find anything above a 310W power supply that would fit my Lincs (https://support.hp.com/hr-en/document/c05991291) motherboard power connectors. (Sorry if I'm completely messing that up, this is my first desktop)

I'm wondering if there are power supplies higher than 310W that even support my motherboard, and if so, where could I find one?

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

I can only find dual and triple fan 570 products. I see single fan 560 products.

 

The 570 per AMD (Link) requires a minimum 450 watt power supply.

 

HP only offers a 400 watt power supply upgrade for your PC's chassis, Part number-L04618-800 SFF PSU.

 

You should be able to buy this PSU at HP Part surfer (Link).

 

Regards

Thank you very much for the help with the power supply.
Regarding the GPU I'm looking at, it's this single fan RX 570. I read up on it a bit, and apparently a lot of GPUs run just fine on power supplies that have a lower wattage than they're rated so long as the power supply is of sufficient quality. Since my desktop (which currently has a 310W power supply) came with an RX 550 (single fan) that has a recommended PSU of 400W, do you think it would be fine if I used the RX 570 with a 400W power supply?

Hi Jam4122,

 

You're very welcome.

 

I can't answer the minimum power supply question.

 

Sapphire's site (Link) shows one six pin PCIe connection and a minimum 500 watt power supply.

 

The card may run okay until you run AAA games.
