@smoke605,

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

Your HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000a (2Z6C8AV) is fitted with an Erica6 motherboard (SSID: 8906), and is compatible with the following processors:

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and AMD Ryzen 5 5600 have this key difference:

Graphics Integrated vs. Discrete:

• The most significant difference between these two processors is the presence of integrated graphics in the Ryzen 5 5600G. The "G" in the 5600G model name signifies that it has Radeon Vega integrated graphics. This means you can use the 5600G without a dedicated graphics card, making it suitable for systems where a discrete GPU is not needed. 

• In contrast, the Ryzen 5 5600 does not have integrated graphics, so it requires a dedicated graphics card for video output. 

Hope this was helpful.

So if i understand correctly as long as i have a GPU in my system i should be able to use the Ryzen 5 5600 none G is that correct?

@smoke605,

Affirmative!

The 5600 is the same as a 5600G, sans the integrated graphics.

@smoke605,

That is most unfortunate: indeed, based on my own experiences, it is entirely possible that HP blocked any other processors...

Best wishes and smooth sailing to you,
