What PSU can fit in my HP Envy Phoenix 860-019

[HelSanYUL]

Looking to replace my 500Watts with a 600watts or more PSU.

What model is compatible or fitting my desktop?

Thanks

@HelSanYUL,

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

Your HP ENVY Phoenix 860-019 Desktop PC (N0A72AA), as fitted with an HP Thimphu motherboard (SSID: 2B4B), which is 24-pin ATX-power enabled, meaning, you can swap your current 500-watt power supply with any industry standard ATX power supply, as long as you watch its dimensions (LxWxH) for fit inside your case.

If you are going to upgrade to a graphics card requiring 2 x 8-pin PCIe power cables, make sure that whatever power supply you buy, it is fitted with dual-rail (2x) 8-pin PCIe power cables, like so:

Hope this was helpful.

Would you have the specs for the dimensions (LxWxH) required?
Any recommended brand or model?

The card I have is a RTX 2060only using one 8-pin PCIe power if i'm not mistaken.

Thanks

I was looking at this PSU
GP-P650G-US

@HelSanYUL,

A 500-watt power supply is more than sufficient to power an RTX 2060, even an RTX 2060 Super or an RTX 2070.

The issue I have since the GPU RTX2060 was installed is there's an issue with at a few games

ie: Overwatch even set to low settings after a few minutes of play the Computer shutdown. No error.

This is why I was suspecting the PSU . Reading about the RTX2060 they recommend a 550W and up

@HelSanYUL,

Purely looking at the RTX 2060's TDP (160 watt), a 500-watt power supply, especially a generally better build HP power supply should suffice.

Nevertheless, you cannot go wrong upgrading your power supply, and the 650-watt Gigabyte power supply you referenced looks like a very nice unit.  If you ever were to upgrade your graphics card, say to an RTX 4070, you'll be ready.

Thanks for all the details....

In one of the posts you talk about dual-rail (2x) 8-pin PCIe power cables.
The image provided... the cables look alike. Is there a specific model I can refer to?

[NonSequitur777]

@HelSanYUL,

Dual-rail (2x) 8-pin PCIe power cables means that whatever power supply you buy, should have two separate PCIe 8-pin power cables exiting from a power supply individually, and not originate from a single PCIe power cable.

@HelSanYUL,

[EDIT:] For example, let's take a look at a quality Corsair 750-watt fully modular power supply:

As you can see, there are two separate 8-pin PCIe power connections.  In non-modular power supplies, you want a PSU with two separate fixed 8-pin PCIe power cables.

Reference: Corsair RM750e (2023) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply - ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Compliant - 105°....
