[MIstakenduck]

Hello everyone, I have a question about a GPU upgrade on my TG01-0030 model, I currently have the 1650 in my system and am looking to upgrade to a 3060 ti founders edition, now I just have one question about this upgrade, will the GPU be able to fit in my system/case? Any response would be appreciated and will leave you a like :)!!

@MIstakenduck , welcome to the Community.

The motherboard in your computer is HP proprietary. It has a 4-pin power connector instead of a standard 24-pin ATX power connector. You will have to buy any PSU upgrade from HP.  The most powerful PSU that HP sells is only 500W (L05757-800) with a PCIe 6+2 and PCIe 6.  I am not certain that this will be enough to power a 3060 Ti.  Here is a Chart that shows where I got the information.

If you find one that will work, here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain what to consider when upgrading your video card.

@Old_geekster I appreciate the response, I already have the 500W power supply, ive ran a few psu calculators with all my systems specs and came out that I need a 420W power supply, so I got the 500W, I was just wondering if the card would fit in the case? Im pretty sure that the 500W will work, but will the 3060 TI fit in the case? thanks for the response 🙂

You are welcome, @MIstakenduck!

If you look at the third paragraph of the article that I provided you will see how to tell if a card will fit into the space.  It is important to assure there is adequate space for good airflow.  Most of the 3060's are huge.
