@mateebsaleemi,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Your HP ProDesk 600 G3 Microtower Business PC's "P2" power cable wire coding for your 250-watt PSU (p/n: 901760-004) is: black, purple, grey, green, black, white, red.


There is a compatible 400-watt power supply for your desktop, with p/n: 942332-001. You can purchase one of these PSUs via eBay.  This power supply is equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power cable.

 

However, please be advised that this power supply is sold in two different varieties: one with P2 color coding: black, empty, grey, green, black, white, red and one with P2 color coding: black, empty, grey, green, empty, empty, empty.

 

The LATTER is not compatible.

 

Contact whatever Seller you can identify in your country and confirm you're getting a 942332-001 power supply with the P2 power connector black, empty, grey, green, black, white, red coding.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
