I want to replace the power supply and graphics card in my p6550z

Hello

I'm looking to replace my power supply (BESTEC 300 watts) and the graphics card (ati radeon hd 5450). Here is a link to the HP page with my pc: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4242359&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

The card I want to put is an Amd Radeon HD 6870. And I also want to put in a block of power SUPPLY Corsair 550 Watt.

They will work when I install them? (I'm actually a little nervous about the upgrade my power supply and graphics card since it is the first time I'm doing this) (I'm also nervous because I've heard many horror stories about upgrading an HP computer)

Corsair power supply (psu) I used can be mounted with the fan facing upwards or downwards depending on where fresh air is available from. Some PC cabinets have mesh ventilation where the PSU Monte so the fan should face the ventilation mesh so that fresh air can be brought into the power supply and then exhausted at the rear. Some HP computers have slots to air ventilation through the upper edges of the flanks and in this case, the PSU is mounted to the top fan. Otherwise, the Assembly of the fan should be such that the PSU will draw air from inside the Cabinet.

  • Power supply and graphics card update

    Hello

    I own a HP p6610f desktop computer and want to upgrade my power supply and graphics card.

    Power supply:

    I saw recommended Corsair CX500 and I found a CX500M of Corsair for sale. I'm fairly certain that it will work with the graphics card, I'm considering the purchase. The CX500M would work with my device?

    Graphics card:

    I have need later in the technology of graphics card but I still want to improve my current AMD Radeon HD 4200. I plan an AMD Radeon HD 6570 because it meets my needs and fits my budget. Would this work with my p6610f and a PSU Corsair CX500M?

    If it helps, I want to update the graphics card to play some place the modern games (Assassin Creed Revelations and maybe Assassin Creed 3 on low heat) and possibly install a Blu - Ray player.

    I ask because I can't seem to find an answer clear enough to calm my fears to ruin my computer if I go with these two options.

    Thank you!

    Food: The CX500M of Corsair is a great choice and will definitely enter the computer.

    Graphics card: you can get a Radeon HD 6670 for the same price as a Radeon HD 6570 and on a faster card of 20 to 25%. Or a little more money, you can get a Radeon HD 6770 and about 125% faster. In all cases, measure from the rear of the case further along the PCIe x 16 location plan. Just shy of an obstacle comes as long of a card you want.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210y - upgrade power supply and graphics card?

    You just bought a new computer that I am generally satisfied, but it is not fit to play top games I like (for example Metro 2033).  I was looking into upgrading my graphics card and discovered that I have a 300W power supply.

    I heard that HP computers are notorious for difficulties in upgrading equipment thanks to the compact design the area.  What power supply and graphics card I should be able to use?  Information links and price would be very appreciated.

    I use my LG HDTV 32 "as a monitor and my current graphics card allows me to connect using an HDMI cable and play movies blu - ray via my PC.  I want to keep this feature.

    Thanks for any help!

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. Specifications
    2. Total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. Warranty
    6. I7 and SLI ready
    7. Efficiency rating
    8. Cost
    9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths

    www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

    The amount of amperage + 12 volts is important when choosing a video card.  Depending on the size of the Cabinet from HP a 550-600 watt PSU should be plenty.  The NVIDIA GT 460 should be a good choice.

  • CPU constantly tries to reboot - just replaced the power supply - and can't get into Windows at all the

    I replaced the power supply 2 weeks ago and left the computer.  Follow me up one morning, the computer froze and when I tried to reboot, it whirs and stops... 5 seconds later same thing.  The power button lights up orange... someone can give me an idea of the problem?  Defective power supply replacement?

    Hi Cathy,.

    This seems to be a hardware failure. You must get in touch with the manufacturer of the system or the local Techshop for better assistance.

    Hello

    Forget the increase in ram.  The improvement of the performance would be negligible.

    Look at the power supply Corsair CX600 .  This power supply has enough amperage to run the NVIDIA GTX 570 and most NVIDIA cards less than the GTX 570.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    Hello

    Your choice for a power supply will fit, but he does not meet the requirements system AMD which is 400 watts.

    The ASUS AMD 6670 that you referenced to adjust, but it is always better to open your PC control and measurement.

    This Corsair CX430 meeting the recommended minimum AMD power supply wattage size and it's actually a bit cheaper because of the available discount and delivery costs.  All the amperage 12 Volt is on a rail, so you won't have to worry about 12 volt rail for balancing.

  • HP ENVY 700-527c: upgrading of power supply and graphics card, need help

    You just bought a NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - silver/black for my HP ENVY, but the food I have in my computer does not support this graphics card. So I was wondering if I bought the Black Corsair - CX series modular CX750M 750W ATX Power Supply - if it could fit in my computer and function properly with the graphics card and all the rest of the computer.

    Almost thought you made a mistake, but you do not have BIOS rev 8 because this unit originally comes with WIN 8. The GTX 970 attracts only 145W. Corsair CX750M is3.39"x 5.91"x 6.30".  It is profoundly in your case, without connectors.   You have so much room between the existing power supply and connectors for DVD?  NVidia recommends a 500W, I would say the 600W modular version.   Its depth is 5.51 ".

    The graphics card will be fine, but the power supply may cause problems of space because of the type of power supply (non-modular).

    The OEM case, you should look at modular PSUS. With modular units, you don't have to figure out what to do with all the extras, the unused connectors and wiring. Modular units you come a connectn those needed.

    This OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Newegg should be perfect. I used power supply, OCZ for years and never had a problem. It is actually less expensive than the Corsair you asked.

  • Satellite Pro 480cdt: how to replace the power supply and memory?

    I broke the tip of the power where it goes to the back of the computer. The two pins came away from the cable. What is the size of the plug round I am looking for as a replacement? Assume that there is a standard fitting of Toshiba.

    The right size to upgrade as the memory is 128 MB. He got 64 MB it's 2 x 32 MB. I guess we're soldered in, but I can remove the other 32 MB and put the 128.

    Are these modules memory square-shaped?
    Finally, a link to the service manual would be very helpful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's really an old unit and it is not easy to find a lot of information. I found the info that this device can use 160MO max. Module of RAM compatible RAM are:
    16 MB PA2039U
    PA2040U 32 MB
    48 MB PA2041U
    128 MB PA2042U
    I don t really know where is placed expansion slot memory but check the underside first. Otherwise, that it may also be placed under the keyboard.

    Replacement of plug power is a bit complicated, and in this case I can't help you at all.

    In any case good luck with your oldie!

    Hello

    I love the Corsair CX500 or the 520w Seasonic because they adapt to the physical dimensions for your PC.

    Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

  • Replace the power supply in a Studio Slim s 540

    Hi, I bought a 540 s Slim of Studio in November 2009 and now I've decided I want to make games a bit. However, it runs a little hot, and there is not enough energy for a new card. I think I have a power supply that is 300w.

    I was watching a GTX 460 or ATI 5850. The 5850 is probably too much for the case. So I thought to replace the case by something simple but effective. I like this:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16811119137&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-RSSDailyDeals-_-na-_-na&aid=10521304&PID=3136390&SID=

    This case should be quite good, with the addition of a fan or two perhaps.

    Now to my next problem. I keep everything in the Studio Slim to the stock, the Quad Core, 6 GB of ram, etc. The only thing that changes is the power supply and graphics card. However, I've heard Dell Mobos/PSU are owners and making it difficult to replace PSU. I have need around a block power 400w-500w. What is compatible with the dell motherboard chipset? Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Some of my features, if it helps:

    Motherboard: Dell 0M017G A00 P45/P43 chipset
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300
    RAM: Twin 400 mhz (DRAM frequency) 6 GB DDR2 memory
    HARD drive: Western Digital 7200 RPM 32 MB Caviar Black

    PSU: bed 10A 125v so I think that its to 300w?

    deuce985

    The Studio 540 Slim has a 250w power supply.

    The power supply is a standard ATX format, but due to the constraints of the 540 Slimline case, it is a unit of owner of Dell, due to its shape, size, and the wiring harness.

    If the motherboard has been installed in a box ATX Mini/Mid Tower standard, more generic standard ATX power supplies can be associated, either a 24-pin or 20 + 4 pin main card mother power connector, with or without the on/off switch.

    You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

    Note: You need a diet with four SATA power connectors.

  • HP M9340f and Power Supply Upgrade graphics card

    HP dear community,

    I read some of the forums on the upgrade of the 9500gs it's an old graphics used for the HP M9340f. It's been 4 years now and the computer still works very well. I need advice for the upgrade on the graphics card.

    My specs are: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01465973

    I know that there a 350W power supply. I am worried because the 9500gs video card has a connector that is powered from the motherboard, it has 2 pins (black and white wire). I read about the update for the ATI HD 5670 Nvidia 440 or 450. I know it is very old, but the 9500gs is still able to run modern games.

    The recommendations would work due to the connector 2 pin?

    Upgrading power supply help, because I think the video card is to select the power supply to the motherboard and not directly from the power supply.  I'm still confused on what the black and white wire, it is connected to the video card.

    I don't mind getting a greater electric power because I can get a better card. Just concerned with the black and white wire.

    I also read here that this person was able to exchange his power supply and graphics card for a gtx 560 ti and a 550W power supply. Its model is newer than mine. http://www.tested.com/forums/PC-and-Mac/8692-seeking-upgrading-graphic-cardnew-computer-advise/?&p=1

    I am really limited?

    Thank you

    Swarl3s,

    We will divide your questions.

    (1) black/white is audio Spdif. Asus Nvidia supports a S-video port, audio is provided by the additional wiring.

    Now that the concern you had as answered (the whitw/black wiring), Let's proceed to the card.

    (2) what are your expectations of game? WOW, Diablo 3. Each has a recommended graphics card and each graphics card recommended the power of the power supply. Always add a tolerance.

    Regarding the GTX560Ti and a combination of 550W PSU, I see no problem. Then again, see here for more information and suggestions.

  • Replacing the power supply on a HP Pavilion P6000

    Outputs video (DVI and VGA) were both released on my motherboard. Rather than go through the hassle of dealing with Microsoft if I had to replace the MB, I decided to install a MSI Geforce 210 graphics card and the existing PCI express slot. However, the existing power is rated at 250 watts and the new video card got a minimum rating of 300 watts. It seems to work, and I don't do any high-end graphics or game. My main uses of the PC are paying bill online, e-mail and a few online forums. Should I replace the power supply with a higher nominal? I have a Hiper Type R PSU which is estimated at 580 watts and was planning to replace it with the 250, but it looks like not her suits because it is deeper than the power installed about half an inch. The deeper power looks like it should stick on a half inch at the rear of the computer when it is against the stop before power in the case. I would like to have some advice on the use of the existing offer or be able to use my power Hiper 580.

    The HP Pavilion P6617C model, which is the number of product BT427AAR developed a standard ATX size power supply. Dimensions (as you know) are 5.9 "x 3.4" on the back and depth 5.5"in the case. The small metal latch/stop button to slide the power supply existing forwards (for removal). There really is no support.

    4 rear mounting screws fix the power supply of the Cabinet. Of concern would be the length, an added 0.7 ", as well as cables/connectors.  You can try the Hiper in the case, and if it fits, OK. Otherwise, I suggest a diet that actually matches the Rosewill 630W
