@fhluparasole,

 

I'm quite certain you meant the RTX 3050 8GB GPU.

 

Your HP Prodesk 600 G2 SFF has a proprietary 200 watt power supply.

 

According to various sources, the RTX 3050 requires at least a 450 watt PSU (see here, for example): GeForce RTX 3050 Can Run PC Game System Requirements (game-debate.com).

 

Looking at other souped-up HP 600 G2 SFF rigs here: HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF Performance Results - UserBenchmark, the highest performing GPU users have been able to make work is the RTX 2070 Super 8GB, which requires a 500 watt PSU -at least according to the specs.

 

The only way this user could make this work -or you with an RTX 3050, is to replace the stock PSU by using an "HP ProDesk 600 PSU Main Power 24 Pin to 6 Pin Adapter Cable" (for example: Amazon.com: COMeap 24 Pin to 6 Pin ATX Power Adapter Cable for HP Z220 Z230 SFF MT TWR Series 4000 6...), or by syncing an additional PSU to your SFF: "ATX 24-pin to SATA Power Connector Adapter" (for example: Amazon.com: 2 Pack Power Sync Starter Card Board sata Dual PSU Adapter Jumper Multiple Power Supply ...).

 

If you are interested to explore either option, let me know.

 

Kind Regards,

my question is if my motherboard can handle this graphics card if it works perfect 

can my motherboard support this graphics card ?

@fhluparasole,

 

I don't see why not -I already implied you could, but only if you have a sufficient power supply to power an RTX 3050.

hi

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-prodesk-600-g2-small-form-factor-pc/7633319/document/c049204...

You may need to check the dimensions of the chosen graphics card
Risk of not fitting, and overheating, inside

@Prométhée,

 

That is indeed correct -but one would assume @fhluparasole is or should be aware of the dimensional and heat-producing restraints imposed by this GPU. You see, the question that was repeated twice, and I quote: ". . .can my motherboard support this graphics card ?" -To which I responded in the affirmative: yes, your motherboard can handle it.  I raised another concern too: POWER supply.

 

Just between you and me, mon cher collègue contributeur, I would be mighty surprised if a 3050 will fit in an HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF, unless there's an extreme low-profile Edition I am not aware of (still wouldn't solve the heat issue) or @fhluparasole is using a different chassis with plenty of space and cooling, OR as I have done with my gaming rigs, park the GPU outside the case connected with a PCIe X16 ribbon cable.

 

Who knows.

 

Kind Regards,

hi @fhluparasole  @NonSequitur777 

 

"and my new case ???  "

 

indeed @NonSequitur777  I had seen that, in the message, only, no indication of what the box is
So, no matter, you obviously have to check if there is room in this new box.
we see too many subjects here, with fairly large boxes and yet, it heats up, it heats up!
"if it works perfect"
and personally I would leave a doubt, no assertion that it will work perfectly, because we cannot be 100% certain.
And since there are different graphic cards, with different requirements, different performances, hard to say I think
While we don't have the rest of the configuration, either..

for me if we ask, it is that we are sure of nothing
Better to report, the maximum possibilities in this case!
believe me, I have often seen people indicate that everything will be perfect, and finally the user comes back, because not the case
For the rest, I agree, no worries.

Well, thereupon, I'm going to continue digging my anti-atomic shelter..
