HP Pavilion p6-2271eo Desktop PC

Hello there. I'm looking for upgrading my GPU in this PC I have for some time. It has An i5 3450, 8Gb 1600Mhz, a gt630 2gb and a H-Joshua-H61-uATX. I've updated the BIOS Version to 8.20 Rev. A and I should enable Secure Boot also (I didn't enabled it yet, due to problems I saw after enabling it on other posts and forums). However, if it will work I could upgrade the GPU to a better one, but I would also like  to upgrade the PSU if I can. I have a 300W one (I think it's from Gemay?) and would want to upgrade to upgrade to one that I found on second hand market in my country. It's from Xilence and has 600W; here is the link to it: https://www.olx.ro/d/oferta/xilence-xpf600rw-IDhTJTu.html?isPreviewActive=0&sliderIndex=2

Question is: Would it fit and would the connectors work for this mobo? I know that these Prebuilt's have this kind of different dimension, update schemes and also different connectors rather than the standard ATX PSUs, so some help would really help, and if someone knows something about the change to Secure Boot (If it will work properly) with my configuration would also help! 😄

 

BTW: I've also found this one (still from xilence) with 550W, I've tried to search a lot Xilence power supplies because I saw a similar model of HP Pavilion p6 with a Xilence PSU of 480W. Here's the link to that PC: https://www.olx.ro/d/oferta/calculator-intel-core-i5-3450-cpu-3-10-ghz-IDbz9WB.html?reason=observed_...

Hi @DaVuDp6,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be happy to help you! 

 

You raised a very good question. As soon as I have posted this response, I am going to search to see if there is an HP PSU upgrade option available for you. If my attempts come up empty, there are "off the HP reservation" power options available.

 

Meanwhile, you may check this USER MANUAL. 

 

 If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
