HP Compaq 8000 Elite power supply upgarde

It makes sense, I will go with this one then!
But I have a question about the wattage, why does this model need 400w while the other GTX 750 Ti's only need 300w? Will I need a better PSU than 320w, or is 400w an exaggeration?

I have dc8000 elite minitower with x16 slot and 320watt psu

400w is probably an exaggeration just to make super sure that Gigabyte doesn't have to deal with potential angry customers who killed stuff running on too weak of a psu.
Really though, you *should be fine. It doesn't draw any more watts (60w) than any other 750 ti, and every other 750 ti that I've seen says to get a 300w psu minimum.
According to pc part picker, while using an old Sandy bridge i5 that draws 95w, this setup would use about 250w.
If I were you, I would just go for it.
But take my .02 cents for that it's worth 🙂

Junaidiqbal,
A 750 ti (any brand or sub-model) should be a direct fit for your computer!

Just to double check, the small form factor HP Elite 8200 uses a a 4-pin ATX, 6-pin PCI, and a 6-pin AUX connector for its 240w PSU?

Or does it use something different, like a 6-pin PCIe connector?

[prerunnerwannab]

As far as I know, all the the 8000 series elites use the same type of connectors that are shown in the diagrams in previous pages.

A PCIe power cable will physically fit the 6 pin that is used, but DON'T try to just use a PCIe power connector in there. You will fry stuff. The wires (or rather, if and what power they supply) that are in a PCIe 6 pin are completely different from the 6 pin look alike on these computers. 

Did that answer your question?

Will 24pin to 2 6pin converter will work without voltage booster ? Whose image was posted in previous pages .

[prerunnerwannab]

Are you talking about the converter that's listed on eBay? It looks like there already is a voltage step up converter thats installed. It's the black bit that's wrapped in heat shrink.
I don't know if it has all of the right voltages and connections, but it's pretty cheap, so it might be worth a shot.
Barnstormer has already ordered one, and will let us know when it arrives if it will work for our computers 🙂

It will be a jackpot for us if it worked 🙂
