Upgrade from Radeon RX 55 in Pavilion Desktop TP01-2xxx

[graylyme]

I recently upgraded my monitor to an LG 34 QHD curved gaming monitor. My Pavilion Desktop TP-01 (16 gigs RAM, 11th gen Intel Core i7-11700F @ 2.50 Ghz) came with an AMD Radeon RX 55 GPU. MSFS on Xbox for PC says I don't meet minimum specs, so I think I'd like to upgrade to a more powerful GPU. My question: How can I know before buying if the new GPU will fit the case and not overtax the computer's power supply?

hi

If you want to replace/add a graphics card, there are a few things you need to check

You have to check the manufacturers data, for the chosen model , Dimensions, power requirements, and additional pci connectors required >see @old_geekster 's kb

for the graphics card, I often recommend the Asus site with filter options

just 500w

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/all-series/filter?Spec=683

See if others offer it, price/performance may vary...

sometimes no choice, you will have to change the power supply as well

Hello

[start]This is an automatic response
in order to avoid writing the same thing each time
To be able to answer you effectively, we need some information

we need the exact model of your computer, and the product number
To find it follow this
for a desktop computer

HP Desktop PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? | HP® Customer Support
and for a laptop
HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Product Name or Number? | HP® Customer Support
Give the full name with the product number P / N

this is not a model:
HP Desktop M01-F1xxx
the requested product number must look like this
Product Number: 9EE50AA # ABA
the model corresponding to this number will therefore be
HP Desktop - M01-F1033wb

example could be

AMD Radeon™ RX 550 Graphics (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)

Thank you for this help. I have been to the HP support specifications page for my computer, but the specs do not tell me a critical piece of information: the size of the power supply in my specific build. How can I get that without opening the box?

[Prométhée]

You didn't give me the exact model of the computer!!
but the power of the power supply must be visible on the back of the computer

if your graphic card is a small model, it should be between 180 / 350 w I think

[graylyme]

Thanks! I checked and there is no information at all on the outside of the box, back included. I did get the model # from HP based on my serial #. The model # is 

HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000i (1K4B7AV)

Nowhere on the HP site, including the chat box and the detailed specs page, can I find the power supply information. Have you any idea, short of opening the case, how I might get this info?

Thanks.

hi

don't you have another reference, see here is it in the list?

rx550 i see 3 :

 HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2127c PC Product Specifications

 HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2327c PC Product Specifications

 HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2347c PC Product Specifications

no indication for food if I looked closely
so here, with the product number

https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=318A9AA

this one

L10875-800

Power Supply - GNRC PSU 310W SFF Entl18 FR Gold

I do not have a better product number. I tried to insert a screenshot hee, but the msg board won't do it (too large a file?). But you can reproduce what I get by searching for a new product using my serial #: [Personal Information Removed]

On that resultant page, if you select Product information, then Product Specifications from the dropdown list, you will see a list of model numbers, but not this specific one. So how do I know whether or not my machine has the same power supply as one of those on the dropdown list?

Thanks!

[Prométhée]

so you don't know which model you bought?
open system information do you have another product number here?

318H4AA

so this one ?

https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c07906934

L10875-800

Power Supply - GNRC PSU 310W SFF Entl18 FR Gold

so check it all out!
but first i recommend you to open and check anyway

if this one and stark Motherboard so

Solved: Is it possible to upgrade the PSU for the ENVY TE01-2187c Stark

[graylyme]

System info opened:

So it does looks like  your guess as to my specific build is pretty good: 318H4AA. So I think I'll bite the bullet and open the case. Many thanks for your help!
