Power supply upgrades for HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop?

[daf1256]

I have the new HP pavilion gaming desktops that are sold on the site as of right now which is working fine with the 1650 super but I want to upgrade to a 2060 super or maybe better. However the power supply will be a problem and to make it worse its proprietary so I can't just replace it. I was wondering if HP sells any other power supplies the same model that my computer uses, as I am limited to only 400 watts. M

@daf1256,

Do you mind sharing what model HP Pavillion you have?

Type: system information in your Windows search bar.

Left-click on the System Information App.

You'll see something like this:

@daf1256,

No worries, this was exactly the info I needed.

Here we go:

The System Model is defined as the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2xxx, and combined with the System SKU 3V2Z3AV, which according to: https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=3V2Z3AV, makes your PC the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2170m CTO for your reference.

The BaseBoard Product number (8906) indicates that your motherboard is an Erica6, which brings us here [EDIT:] User manual HP Pavilion Gaming TG01 (English - 50 pages), or this link: HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Erica6 | HP® Customer Support.

These links suggest that you could upgrade your PC with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (3.80 GHz up to 4.60 GHz, 8 Cores, 16 Threads).

Also, according to: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Knowledge-Base/Power-Supply-Cross-Reference-for-specific-model..., your desktop is compatible with the HP PSU 500-watt power supply unit (p/n): L05757-800. You can find these PSUs online, but they are a bit pricey: L05757-800 HP Gnrc Psu 500W Ent17 Fr Gld (encompass.com),  HP L05757-800: Search Result | eBay, or here, for example: L05757-800 original HP Desktop-PC power supply 500 Watt - sparepartworld.com.

A 500-watt power supply would enable you to pick a better graphics card, such as the RTX 2060. The RTX 2060 Super may be pushing it a little bit, as the literature shows a minimum 550-watt power supply for this particular graphics card.

Hope this was helpful.

@daf1256,

Btw, even the RTX 2060 would be a very significant upgrade over the GTX 1650 Super: UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1650S (Super) vs RTX 2060.

Thank you this helped way more than I thought. I just wish the power supplies weren't as pricey. Thank you for your help.
