Hi,

 

A 1660 Ti needs a minimum 450 watt power supply and one eight pin PSU connection to power the card.

 

This upgrade may not work if you want a stable system when stressing the graphics card.

 

You would have to try the HP 400 watt power supply. I don't know if this power supply has a eight pin GPU connection.

 

Regards

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Your PC has a factory 310 watt power supply. Probably has no six plus two pin PCIe connectors to the graphics card.

 

What graphics card did you buy?

 

Does the new graphics card fit in your case and MB?

 

The 690 chassis can accept a 400 watt HP PSU, part number (L04618-800). This part can be purchased here (Link).

@Grzwacz 

Yes, the 400 watt HP PSU, part number (L04618-800) has a 6+2 PCIE power plug.

It is listed on the Excel data sheet I sent you.

Hi @wb2001,

 

Thanks.

My brain can't keep up with all of this stuff. 😀

@Superstottie ,

 

How is the PC running with the 1660 Ti installed?

 

Have you gamed using the card?

 

Curious to see if you have any stability problems.

We haven't been able to use it yet, as there is no power connector on the current set up. Looking like it's going to be a new case and psu, as struggling to find a psu that fits in this case that will run the graphics card.

Hi Superstottie,

 

You have proprietary components:

 

1. Motherboard (MB)

2. Power supply connections on the MB

3. Power supply

 

It will be difficult to impossible to use a different retail case and a retail power supply. Things are not going to go well.
