Solved: Case Compatability - HP Support Community

Andrew05 · ‎05-25-2020

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion gaming desktop, and want to upgrade the case soon for my birthday. I was looking at cases and realized the motherboard has to be compatible. I look up my motherboard which is a HP Sunflower 8433 with dimensions of 9.6 x 10.5 inches. These are custom dimensions and do not fit into any ATX category. How to I find out whether my case is compatible or not? I was specifically looking at the Corsair 220T Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Smart Case which is an ATX smart case. Thanks!

@Andrew05,

Although a "pretty case' it is not usable. It is non-ATX motherboard screw pattern.

Moving an HP to a new case HP 690 is a proprietary PSU (NON-ATX wiring)

When you purchase a case, it comes with special items that are not HP specific:

1) Rear I/O panel plate. HP may not use an I/O pate in some models,. the case is cut to conform.

2) Front I/O power switch wire adapter. HP uses their own wiring scheme.

3) Rear is cutout for ATX PSU and mounting screw holes. This is a unique PSU, NON-ATX.
