RX5600 XT for HP Omen 880

PjdeP · ‎05-06-2020

I would like to know whether the RX5600 xt is a viable upgrade to the 1060 3gb on my HP omen 880-127ns (Tampa2 mbd)

Is 500w enough?

Does the graphic card of 267mm fit in? Does it need an adaptor?

Specifically, the MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT.

Thank you in advance.

@PjdeP,

Thank you for an interesting inquiry.

1) MSI RX 5600Xt is 297mm long (11.6"). You said 267mm.

2) Tampa2 mbd is 9.4" . You should cut a piece of rigid cardboard 5.1" x 11.6" and see if it fits.

3) Card requires 2x8pin PCIE power plugs. Do you have that?

Thank you for your answer.

I've realized I do not have 2x8pin PCIE power plugs. Which ones should I buy? Does the PSU not come by default with them?

Above, I've highlighted a section as "A". My config does not have that support is it needed for the RX 5600 XT?
