Upgrade psu n gup for hp tg01-0023w

[Playingmax]

Hi, good afternoon I have a HP TG01-0023w Pavilion Gaming Ryzen 5 3500 3.59GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4GB 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Win 10 Home Black. So far I've upgrade to windows 10pro and and the ram to a 32gb. Looking to upgrade the PSU and gup. Looking to upgrade to a 2060super or 2070. Any recommendations or links would be really appreciated. Thank u in advance!

Hello

I don't think the upgrade is worth the additional money spent.

I messed up and did not process your question correctly. Very sorry about this.

You can compare a 1650 Super at the above link. Another forum member can help with PSU upgrade.

Thanks for the reply. What do u recommend I do? I'm using this PC for my pinball cab running a 4k playfield.

@Playingmax,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Your HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0023w (6YR56AA) is fitted with an Erica motherboard (SSID: 8643), and according to: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Knowledge-Base/Power-Supply-Cross-Reference-for-specific-model..., is compatible with an OEM HP 500 watt power supply, part number: L05757-800 (has a PCIe 6+2-pin power connector).

You can get one of these here, for example: https://www.sparepartworld.com/laptop-spare-parts/internal-power-supplies/internal-power-supplies-l0....

Once you have a 500 watt power supply, you can look for an RTX 2060, GTX 1660 Super, GTX 1650 Super or RTX 3050 -provided you check the physical dimensions (LxWxH) of the graphics card to make sure it physically fits inside your case and doesn't require more than one (6+2)-pin PCIe power connector.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,

Thank u for the great advice! Time to hunt for some savings.

@Playingmax,

You are most welcome.

Whether or not upgrading a legacy HP desktop is worth-it is primarily in the eye of the beholder.  For me, I find it rewarding taking on a fun challenge to see how far I can upgrade an otherwise mediocre and 'retired' office computer -where few if any have gone before.  However, I respect the point of view of getting a ready-made (gaming-) PC and not have to worry a thing about hobbying and adventuring around as gaming or professional computing purposes is the main objective/utility of having a new(er) computer.

So be it.

Good luck with your upgrading endeavors!

Kind Regards,

Not looking to spend over 100 on a PSU. Can I install 3rd party 500w PSU?

@Playingmax,

Well, yes, you could indeed.  -But that would involve an off-the-HP-reservation power supply method.  DISCLAIMER: HP does not approve it, endorse it, let alone recommend it.  If you were to apply this alternative power method, you would forfeit any warranties if applicable, and you would implement this at your own risk.

To see what the heck I am talking about, may I invite you to take a look at my legacy HP EliteDesk G3 800 SFF upgrade project.  I used an externally placed 850 watt secondary ATX power supply synced with the original PSU to power an externally connected high end graphics card -currently an RTX 3080 OC 12GB, using an "ATX PSU ADAPTER ATX 24-Pin to SATA Power Supply Adapter".

See link: Solved: Upgrading HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF - Page 4 - HP Support Community - 8251218

In your case, an upgraded graphics card would fit inside your desktop, powered by an external ATX power supply.  The ATX PCIe power cable(s) could be pulled through the back of your desktop by removing one or two PCIe brackets, and a SATA power cable going from your desktop to the power supply adapter (see link).  Putting this together is straightforward and relatively easy (in my opinion), it is also inexpensive, but it does require a fair amount of PC-savviness and I would not recommend it for the mechanically DIY impaired.
