HP Pavilion 500-141ea: GPU upgrade

Hi all

I'm new here, but hid for some time in the run up to the upgrade of my GPU.

I am owner of a pavilion of 500-141 ea - spec/details here: here.

I have had it for awhile now and have made a few casual games on it (Euro Truck Sim2) - it's OK at best, I am looking to upgrade the GPU to something a little better to improve the graphics. After absorbing as much information as possible on these forums, I discovered I obviously need a new graphics card, and as my current diet is valued at 300W, it would be best to stick to a moment PSU.

Now, I've been watching the 960 GTX that seems a fantastic card but, for what I'm doing, I'm not sure if it's exaggerated.

I turned to the GTX 750Ti after I've seen recommended by so many people. Including who I've been watching is the Asus version. Link. Looks like a solid GPU and fantastic value for money. I did some measure inside my case and think it "should" adapt, but as I am a novice I'm not sure, he would not blame on what whether 100%. It is the main thing that concerns me.

For a power supply I was watching a CX500 Corsair, which should be more than enough for my needs at the moment. Looking at the ASUS card especially need a 6 pin directly from the power supply (from what I've read).

I also read on UEFI/BIOS/settings issues so I'm ready for it to come when I update the map, but I'll post if I have a problem.

So, I'm sorry for the essay, but I guess I want to know if anyone knows if the ASUS card would be and if the Corsair would be a good diet to use.

Thanks for reading / your answers.

Chris.

CGD1, welcome to the forum.

We do not mind trials because they give us the information we need to make good decisions.

Here is the map of Newegg.  Normally, the thing that worries me cards dual fan is the length.  You want the card to fit and have lots of space for good air circulation.  This card is the perfect length.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  I also like the EVGA cards.  They have great Tech support.

I love Corsair products.  The PSU you chose should work great.  The map in my link only requires 6-power connector additional.

  • HP Pavilion 500-141ea: GPU for HP pavilion 500-141ea

    Hello

    A couple of years ago, I bought a HP pavilion 500-141ea, I am now looking to upgrade the GPU and the power supply on this subject. I want to replace the old GPU with a GTX 960 but I unure know if it is compatible with my motherboard because I'm not sure if it has the version of the bios that is needed to support the 960 GTX

    Information on the motherboard:

    MS-7778 (Jasmine)

    BIOS version: FRIEND 80.46 10/03/2013

    If it doesn't not work could offer you some suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Madness 78, welcome to the forum.

    960 GTX requires UEFIin the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS / Legacy.  Your motherboard has UEFI.  You have two things to consider: 1) the power required to run the video card correctly and 2) the length of the card.  The power supply unit (PSU) to the count is 300W.  I think that you will need a minimum of 400W.  I recommend a block of power SUPPLY Corsair of at least 500W.  The modular power supply to reduce the number of cables you are using.  This allows for better air circulation.  You can determine if the card fits by the measure of the e/s rear plate at the front of the computer.  This will allow you to see if it fits and if other ingredients will be in the way of this Assembly.

  • HP Pavilion 500-002ec: the HP Pavilion 500-002ec gpu upgrade

    Hello.

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-002ec pc and I want to replace the pre-installed gpu (Radeon HD 8570). I was looking at GTX950 and I have a few questions. I need more power for her? If so, how much more? And it is even compatible with current pc? Thanks for your replies.

    Hello

    If do the 950 GTX specific and model does not require a 6-pin auxiliary power connector then it should work. However, most of the GTX 950 require an auxiliary power connector 6-pin and the HP 300 watt standard power supply in your PC doesn't have that connector.  You would be obliged to replace the power supply or try the NVIDIA GTX 750.

    If you decide to stay with the GTX950 then I suggest you one of the following blocks that will give you a bit of room to develop and/or use a graphics card more large: Corsair CX500, CX600 or CX650m

    Be sure to measure to ensure that the graphics card fits will fit inside.

  • Pavilion 500-138eo: GPU upgrade

    I intend to move the graphics card in my Pavilion 500-138eo Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 or 970 and upgrade the PSU to fit to the requirements of the new graphics card. The motherboard (Memphis-s) and the case does support these cards as they are cards double-width, and what diet do you recommend? The current graphics card is a Geforce GTX 645 with 2 GB of VRAM, twice more than the Nvidia reference design.

    Hi there @apanpapan3

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking for information for upgrading the video card and the power supply to your computer. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Looking at the two video cards that you are considering, the 960 requires that a minimum of 400 w of power and the 970 requires a minimum of 970 w. The two cards are double-width, but the 970 is a little longer. Both use PCI Express 3.0.

    The system has however a 300W power supply, then of course you will need to level it and don't forget the replacement of the power supply has the necessary extra power connections, 1 or 2 6-pin connections must be available depending on the card.

    The current internal power supply also has the following additional parameters:

    • Form factor: ATX internal

  • HP Pavilion 500-326na: graphics upgrade on HP Pavilion 500-326na card

    Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 500-326na, and recently, I decided that I would update the graphics card. The card that I'm looking is the nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti. This would be consistent with (and in the form of) my computer? In addition, I'm not sure exactly how I had to upgrade my power supply, if necessary, and if you can direct me to a decent choice.

    Thank you very much.

    SJ642, welcome to the forum.

    According to the Specifications of the product , the computer has an external power supply 180W (PSU).  If this is the case, you won't be able to level the video card.  The 750ti requires a power supply of at least 300 w; Some reported that 400W is needed to make it work properly.

  • Pavilion 500-123w processor upgrade won't work

    I have the HP Pavilion 500-123w computer with the card mother H-Joshua-H61-Μatx (Joshua). I just bought this computer on December 23, 2013.

    According to the specification of HP product site, he says that the motherboard will support a processor Quad Core of Intel Core i7-2xxx (Sandy Bridge).

    So I bought an Intel Core i7 - 2600K CPU and installed. When I turn on the computer, it says "ERROR not taken into CHARGE PROCESSOR - YOUR COMPUTER NOW STOP." It won't let me even get into the BIOS, because it stops after a few seconds.

    I had already installed the update of the most recent from the HP site BIOS until I installed the processor. The BIOS version is JOS_817.ROM V8.17

    I studied this motherboard on other sites, and they said that this motherboard supports Intel Core i7 - 2600K processor.

    When I put the processor back original, everything works fine. I installed the new processor 3 different times and I get the same error message.

    Are there settings jumper, I need to change the motherboard? Does anyone else have this problem?

    I am an electronics technician and have done repairs to computer for years. For me, it looks like there is a problem with the BIOS does not recognize the new processor.

    Thanks for any help,

    Dan

    Oh no, I just heard from HP Support and they said:

    "Dan, I checked the specifications of your PC and gathered the information that your PC is compatible with Intel Core i7-2xxx (Sandy Bridge) Quad Core, but the processor Intel Core i7 - 2600K is not compatible with your PC." So, I recommend you to install with Intel Core i7-2600 (Sandy Bridge) Quad Core.

    Thus, the i7-2600 is a little different than the i7 - 2600K. Wish I had known before that I spent more than 300 million dollars on the new processor.

    I should have purchased separate components and built a new computer from scratch, like that I could update if I needed to. Well, we live an apprenticeship. Factory computers are not easily expandable.

    Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it sincerely.

  • the HP Pavilion Desktop 500-329 GPU upgrade

    Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the GPU and the power supply of my

    HP Pavilion Desktop PC 500-329

    The GPU is a GTX 960 and the PSU is a 500W EVGA power.

    I read that I had to turn on legacy something with the computer with the f10 boot menu. I made this and just want to know if it's possible.

    Yes, you can upgrade, simply follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the graphics card on the connectors and the power of the power supply.

    You have a PCI Express x 16 (Gen 3.0) card slot there will be plenty of choice for video cards.

  • Pavilion 500-329: to upgrade my power supply for my new GPU

    Hi, I recently got and 660 GTX ti as a gift from a Guild mate. Unfortunately, the stock PSU is a potato (very) disappointing 300W. Who also likes to scream when I'm still so things like move my mouse. Wonderful innit!

    in any case, I've been shopping around for a PSU that could fuel at least my graphics card for the recommended specifications, 450w, unlike what is 240 R7 in the system right now, which is recommended to have 400w... And I managed to find one that meets at my expecations in size and power output.

    I just want to see if someone has comments on the sizes to enter in the case of Pavvy 500-329.

    Since your Canadian, I took the liberty of a few analyses available of the PSU.

    Your current system has a R7-240 which is inspired by 30W.  The GTX660ti attracts 150W.  The net difference is 120W.  The original power supply is 300W but it is a maximum.  You'd never see your car top SPEED!

    I would like to see you get a Corsair CX CDN 96,19 600W as your choice. Here are the specifications.   It's 80 + efficient power consumption curve and focus not on your system. It is also an RIGHT in your system.  If cost is a concern, then I suggest you step down for the 500W version.  It's 20 less CDN.  Its also an exact adjustment.

  • Pavilion DV6 6001tx: GPU upgrade on DV6 6001tx

    Hello

    My laptop as spec below:

    HP Pavilion DV6 - product number: LN346PA

    2 GHz intel i7 2630QM

    8GB RAM - added an another slot of 4 GB of RAM

    AMD Radeon HD 6770 M (1 GB of DDR5 memory) - stock GPU

    750 GB SATA (5400 RPM)

    I checked online, the AMD Radeon HD 6770 M GPUS have a MXM-3. 0 to slot. Appreciate if you can give advice if this laptop GPU use MXM - 3. 0 has slot or it is soldered to the motherboard. As the CPU for this laptop is able to do what I need, I just intend to upgrade the GPU so that I do graphics work that must be one more spec to the GPU, rather than buying a new workstation (which will be more expensive than upgrading the GPU).

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Maintenance and Service Guide lists every mother/System Board for each model of videocard (on page 85). This means that the video card is welded to the motherborad. Therefore, you must buy the whole and it may cost much more than your thinking.
