@bob12454,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

I can tell you exactly, even to the mm, what the largest graphics card is (in length) that would fit in your HP Pavilion, and that would be 267mm (10.5 inches), such as the Asus RTX 2080 Super Evo 8GB which I was (barely) able to fit in my HP Pavilion TP01-3003w upgrade project without case modifications: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Upgrading-an-HP-Pavilion-TP01-3....  In order to install this card, you'll have to temporarily remove your power supply because a card of this length will need to be inserted in the case at an angle, before moving it straight into the PCIe x16 slot.

Please be advised that in order to power this 250-watt TDP card you'll need this 650-watt power supply with p/n: L57253-003 / L36049-003, which you can purchase via eBay.

@bob12454,

This means that most smaller-sized (dual fan) model cards (267mm or less in length) up to approximately 285-watt TDP would fit, provided you power it with the 650-watt power supply as mentioned, such as these fine cards:

ASUS DUAL RTX 5070 OC Edition Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database

MSI RTX 4070 Ti SUPER VENTUS 2X OC Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database

I really appreciate the quick response and information. I was thinking I was needing to purchase a new pc as games are eating up so much resources. Once again thank you so much

@bob12454,

You are most welcome -if you are into it, with a little effort/elbow grease so to speak, your HP Pavilion TP01-3xxx can be very effectively upgraded to play even the most demanding games!

Where did you find the specs and upgrades for my pc? I chatted with HP for half an hour and they could not provide any info. If it is something you could share I would really appreciate that info

@bob12454,

Well, no particular secrets here: you provided your PC's Product Number: 4M0K0AV, which can be referenced via HP's PartSurfer link: HP PartSurfer.

And for the most part, just Google for information, such as (indirectly) found here: Refurbished: HP Pavilion tp01-3000i Desktop (2022) | Core i7 - 12700 - 512GB SSD + 2TB HDD Hard Driv..., and by searching "TP01-3xxx" in the Userbechmark link: UserBenchmark: HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3xxx Compatible Components, to find compatible computer components by name and model.
