Inquiry About Upgrading Graphics Card and Power Supply for HP ProDesk 400 G7

[czc116bgq3]

Hello,

I need a graphics card for my PC, an HP ProDesk 400 G7 Microtower PC (9CY18AV). I’d like to install the PNY RTX A1000 8GB GDDR6 Smallbox. Is it possible to use it without upgrading the power supply, or would I need a larger one? If so, which power supply would be compatible with my PC?

I found a used one: Power Supply HP PA-3401-1HA 400Watt 4+4+7+6. Would that be suitable?

Hi @czc116bgq3 

Yes you can use it, it is a 50 Watt TDP card and a 250 Watt power supply is enough, and you have a 400 watt power supply, it is enough.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand that! So I need at least a 250-watt power supply, or preferably 400W. However, HP's hotline told me that the motherboard could be damaged if I use a 400W power supply. The original one has 180W. As you can see in the photo, will this one work or not?

You should change the power supply, with that power supply you will be very limited.

The power supply is compatible: Power Supply HP PA-3401-1HA 400Watt 4+4+7+6.

Hi @czc116bgq3 

These models come with a 350 watt power supply, use the part number to find a reseller.

There is also the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 OC Low Profile. Is it compatible with the PC?

And the M09032-001 SKO-PSU 350W ENT20 EPA92 +12V power supply.

no, you need a 450 watt power supply, better if it is 550 watt, and it does not exist for your model.

OK, I need a good graphics card for Photoshop. Which one should I choose?

That depends, if you don't want to change the power supply use the following one recommended by HP for this model

AMD® Radeon™ RX 550X 4GB DP+HDMI

HP ProDesk 400 G6 DM / AIO - G7 MT / SFF
