Upgrading Video Card

Pmartinez1308 · ‎07-14-2020

I am looking into upgrading a video card on this PC. Currently the desktop is using:

Intel UHD Graphics 630

My specs tell me i have one PCIe x16 socket which i intend to use for a video card.

The processor on this desktop is an 8th gen i5 +8400. The memory can take DDR4 2666 SDRAM PC4-21300 (the desktop currently has 8GB, I intend to max that to 16GB potential based off the motherboard type)

I could not find any further specs for the motherboard on this PC which would give me a better idea as to the type of video card it can actually take.

The motherboard model in this desktop is:

Lincs MB

17514-1 Rev. A

348.OA817.0011

@Pmartinez1308,

I have added your unit to the spreadsheet. (It will appear very soon). The data is valid for any 590 series computer.

HP utlizes a proprietary PSU design. An ATX 24 pin PSU will not work. Here is a spreadsheet that explains the different PSU part numbers. Sadly the most popular, the 400W #L04618-800 is 2 months out-of-stock. You order, and wait ! The other, the 942332-0001 is available, but you need to search the web for a "livable" price.

It is beneficial to mention the needs. The most intense game-play comes to mind. Then a GPU and PSU can be recommended.
