Solved: Re: Upgrading Video Card using 6 pin to 8 pin Power Adapter ... - Page 2 - HP Support Community

WB2001 I didn't say I was unwilling to look. I said I didn't want to cut the tie on the cables. That entire wad of cables is coming out of the power box.

Push come to shove, I get the card, I run into issues, I'll drive it down to MicroCenter to trouble shoot.

Thanks for your time.

Hello
luckily there is @wb2001
Sorry @XheVoice I work and our hours are shifted, I could not answer more top
Indeed I did not understand because I saw only a connector with 4 pins and not two
So, if you don't have a 2-pin connector somewhere, you'll have to try to find an adapter, as I said.
There shouldn't be anything to cut then!
Take a good look at all the connectors, sometimes it's not obvious, and we have a hidden connector.

Ok thanks @Prométhée and @wb2001

I see two additional pins that I think are the power ones they are labeled P10

They are labeled like the cables in the Replacing the Video Cards | HP Omen 880 Desktop Computers | HP video on YouTube

So , those two white cables (P10), they should work right?

I ordered the ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 6GB Phoenix Fan Edition VR Ready HDMI DP DVI Graphics Card (Ph-RTX2060-6G) card, it should arrive between Thursday & Saturday. I will post an update when I get the new card.

Thanks again for your assistance.

It seems to me to be fine.
It seemed to me that by searching a little, there must be what it takes ..
I cannot certify it 100%, because I have the same type of lathe, only, not the same series, and unless I'm mistaken, it did have connectors!
However, we cannot guarantee the operation of the graphics card, sometimes a model is incompatible with the motherboard.
It may be necessary to verify the bios update.
As it is not without risk, I recommend it as a last resort
