What other GPUs could fit into this TP01-2234 case?

[Slasher-I7]

I have this desktop (TP01-2234) and I'm looking to add a dedicated GPU since it only comes with an integrated one. Now, I already have an idea of what I'm limited to: a 400W or 500W PSU paired with something like an RTX 3050 Low Profile.

However, I'm just a bit curious: does anyone know of any other GPU that can fit? Specifically, ones that aren't low profile. For example can a regular RTX 4060 fit, or would I need the LP version?

If anyone needs some context, while I couldn't find a video showcasing the interior of THIS model, here is a video of a similar one that basically has the same/exact layout.

@Slasher-I7, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
You're considering upgrading the GPU in your HP Pavilion TP01-2234 desktop, and it's great that you're already aware of the power supply and form factor limitations. Let's summarize the compatibility details and explore your options for a successful upgrade.

✅ Case Compatibility Summary (TP01-2234):

• Form Factor: MicroATX mid-tower
• Expansion Slot Support: 2 full-height slots
• Max GPU Length: Approximately 267mm (10.5 inches)
• Max GPU Width: Up to 2 slots (anything thicker may not fit)
• PSU Rating (Stock): Either 180W or 400W depending on the model; an upgrade is necessary for GPUs over 75W.
• PCIe x16 Slot: Available for GPU installation.

🔍 What GPUs Can Fit? (Non-Low Profile)

Here are some full-height, dual-slot GPUs that should fit in your case, assuming you upgrade to a 400W–500W PSU:

NVIDIA Options:

GTX 1650 (Standard)Works fine on 300–350W PSU, no external power needed. Great for basic gaming.
GTX 1660 SuperRequires a 450W PSU; compact models fit well. Good for 1080p performance.
RTX 3050 (Non-LP)Most variants fit, but check power and cooling needs.
RTX 4060 (Non-Ti)Compact dual-fan versions (under 267mm) fit and perform well on a 500W PSU.
RTX A2000 / A4000Pro workstation cards; slim and efficient options.
RTX 3060 (Mini/ITX versions)Some 2-slot mini cards from ASUS or Gigabyte (~200mm) will fit. Check PSU (500W+).

AMD Options:

Radeon RX 6400 / 6500 XTLow power (no 6-pin needed), fits well, good for entry-level gaming.
RX 6600Compact dual-fan models work with a 450W PSU. Great for 1080p gaming.
RX 7600 (Small variants)Works in 2-slot, sub-267mm cards. Needs a 500W PSU.
RX 6700 XT (compact models)Tight fit, but possible with enough PSU and airflow.

❌ What to Avoid:

• Triple-slot GPUs (too thick)
• GPUs longer than ~10.5 inches (267mm) — may hit the drive cage or front panel
• GPUs needing 2×8-pin connectors and high PSU demand
• Tall backplates or large coolers (like those found in some RTX 3070+/RX 6800+ cards)

🔧 Tips for a Successful Upgrade:

1. Measure Internal Clearance: Check the space from the PCIe slot to the drive bay/front chassis before purchasing a GPU.
2. Upgrade PSU: Consider a 500W PSU (preferably SFX or standard ATX if the case allows).
3. Check Airflow: The TP01-2234 may not have optimal thermals, so consider adding a front intake or side panel fan if possible.
4. BIOS Compatibility: Ensure your BIOS is up to date for compatibility with newer GPUs like the RTX 4060.

🛠 Suggested GPU Models (Compact & Compatible):

• ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 OC Edition 
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 Eagle OC 
• PowerColor Fighter RX 6600 
• ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 

If you're ready to upgrade the PSU and can verify the clearance, a standard RTX 4060 or RX 7600 (dual-fan versions) should be a great fit—there's no need for a low-profile version.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the list, I was thinking about the RX 6600 but I didn't know if it was too big but I'll assume it's just going to be near a tight fit based on your reply.

Again, thanks for the help!
