I want to upgrade my HP desktop since long time not using it. I try to buy GIGABYTE GTX 1650 Super OC 4GB GDDR6 ( SIngle Fan) and upgrade my PSU to SilverStone ST65F-ES230 80 Plus. Is there any problems when I upgrading my PC (Compatible, etc)
The reason I'm choosing single fan because I don't think there is enough space for a bigger VGA, my motherboard is IPM17-DD
Thank you for any help!
Also my motherboard only support DDR3L RAM (the 1.35V one), because when I put 1.5V RAM to my computer, it not recognize any RAM. So does 8gb Ddr3L 1600mhz 2rx8 Pc3L-12800U 240pin 1.35v Dimm work for my computer?
Solved! Go to Solution.

OK to both the GPU card and the PSU.
Look at the full specification on this example. RAM is specific to the computer model.

I would suggest you make a cardboard template (size of card in length) and place it into the system.
Your choice of a 650W PSU is more than adequate. While a 500W will work, installing a 650W gives more latitude if you decide to upgrade the GPU later.
