• Z1 HP - upgrade graphics card! Help, please!

  Hello world.

  First of all I would like to say my knowledge of graphics cards is very limited so if you would be kind enough to explain things to me step by step. Thank you

  So I bought a Z1 - model WM427EA #ABU - and have already updated the RAM, I want to update the graphics card because AFAIK that comes with my model is completely s * the graphics on borderlands (game) look terrible on my Z1 and shiny on my new classmates Vaio all-in-one. I played with the graphics settings in the game without success.

  I looked inside the Z1 and couldn't find something that looks like a graphics card. I looked at other models - one with the quadro 4000 - and they seem to have a black box, one on the left side while mine was just an empty space: s. According to most of the sites I have a card/controller "Intel HD Graphics 2000 Dynamic Video Memory Technology."

  It would be possible for me to say buy a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+680 & id = 41) and paste it into my machine? I noticed that there a housing as if she had to go in a tower. I should locate and remove the controller/original graphics card before I could install it?

  I really hope HP havnt done so its only compatible with some cards. Which would defeat the purpose of the machine being easily expandable...

  Any help appreciated, thanks a lot

  PS you can get the specifications to

  http://www.equanet.co.UK/catalogue/item/it-equipment/computers/computer-workstations/HP-workstation-...

  Make sure it is the Xeon E3-1245v2 if you intend to do this (noting the "v2" at the end)

  It's a new architecture than the E3-1245 ("v1" If you want) and the v2 has a major upgrade to the graphics capabilities on the former model, will perform a little better for the CPU to destination as well tasks. It should work more fresh and quieter too, as an added bonus. It should not cost more than either a v1.

  You can buy units in a sales package retail or OEM (just naked CPU). You get a heat sink with the retail package, but you don't use it. There is not generally a big cost difference between the two, however, perhaps only a few £/ $ extra for the retail box. I tend to hesitate to ebay, unless I can't avoid it (as with the MXM cards). You have problems to find a 1245v2 to stock from several reputable providers and potentially get a better deal on ebay also.

  Replace the CPU isn't too difficult, but I recommend checking out a few guides before you try it yourself - I don't dive in details here on a generic CPU swap because there is nothing I can say that google or youtube will not tell you 10 times more.

  There is nothing particularly unique about the replacement of the CPU in the Z. The cooler is set by a few screws and simply lifts off once they are free (and the fans are disconnected from the motherboard).

  Once it is off, clean the bottom with something that won't leave a residue (e.g., not something as a solvent for nail polish with perfumes etc.. I use TIM Akasa cleaner and it works very well). Decliper and open setting around the CPU, pop in the new processor carefully, noting the location indicated by the arrow in the corner of the CPU lines until the arrow on the socket. Re-engage the strain relief and apply little thermal grease directly on the CPU (there are many on the market, I use Arctic Silver 5). Make sure not to apply too much grease, you're going to a very thin layer, better youtube it for technique.

  Then all that remains is to replace the cooler (making sure not to forget to plug back in), close the PC and fire.

  EDIT: One more thing-update your BIOS to the latest version before swap you the processors, it could not start with the E3-1245v2 with a BIOS earlier, which gives you a nice 'Uh Oh' moment, before realizing you have to UN-swap and then re - Exchange processors again.

• can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

  can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

  Laptops are unlike desktop computers.

  Desktop PC have an open architecture that make the relatively simple upgrade.

  PC laptop and portable access to the e/s available and put at level of the slots through the doors of the inspection and often almost total disassembly.

  Laptops are also limited by the BIOS and the physical attributes systemboard on the video modules and wireless can be used for upgrades.

  A BIOS of the laptop has a white list of the modules that are acceptable. If a module wireless or video is not on the whitelist, then it cannot be used. If a notebook THAT BIOS found during the POST (power on self test) as a module not on the white list has been installed it will warn you and it won't start the laptop computer in the operating system installed.

  If money is no object you can update the video through an exotic external graphics solution like Vidock Gfx.

• H8-1020 HP: HP H8-1020 - upgrading graphic card / power

  Hey,.

  Looking to give my almost 5 year old very PC need graphics push. As mentioned in the title, I have a HP h8-1020. After reading the other messages from users on this forum, it seems that the power supply provided with this model (300W) is totally insufficient for any new, decent graphics card.

  I also use a 27 inch Samsung S27D360.

  I read that some people used the corsair CX500/600 with Nvidia GT X series (2 GB) as an upgrade card appropriate. However I don't know a lot about the power supplies or performance graphics cards.  I don't have an absolute top of the map online, just one that can run most modern graphic intensive games. I hope for a price range of about $100 for food and not more than $200 for the graphics card.

  Here are some of the games I'd like to run upstairs - max (preferably in 1920 x 1080) settings:

  Diablo 3

  Skyrim

  Grand Theft Auto V

  The Elder Scrolls: online

  Any help with suggestions for a new power supply/graph card would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Hello

  Try NewEgg for theCorsair CX500. It's cheaper.

  ZOTAC ZT-70704-10 M model is spec'd to be retro-compatible with PCI-E version 1.1.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE 547c: upgrade graphics card for HP Elite

  I tried to replace/upgrade to update my graphics card for my desktop PC. I tried several video cards, but with each one, once it is installed and the computer turned on, the image does not register with the monitor. Everything else seems to work, but the monitor gives no answer. It was only a problem once the original video card has been removed. The current video card, I am trying to install is the NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 730.

  In the course of the years, I added a memory and the power supply has been upgraded, but all the rest are always original parts (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-Elite-HPE-Desktop-PC-series/5035344/model/5074426/do...

  Is this a problem with the other parties, who will need to be replaced or is there something else I forget?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You're dominant, in your case, the most important factor-BIOS compatibility... more recent maps, like the gt730, require the UEFI BIOS to run... you have a LEGACY BIOS system, and cannot do anything, unless you change your motherboard... your pc is a model of early 2011... UEFI standard HP in their systems of end of 2012...

  You can watch other maps, if... the 700 series card youre looking at is a maxwell model 2014... There are in this region that come with a feature of hybrid bios which offers wider compatibility on legacy systems... or you can look at maps more old pascal/fermi architecture that work exclusively on legacy BIOS systems...

  Hope this helps

  Hi @eqrzgand thanks for your message.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking for assistance with an update of the graphics card. I'm happy to give you a helping hand with this.

• P7-1490 upgrade graphics card and power supply

  I just got a GEFORCE GTX 650TI stimulate the graphics card.  The 300 watt Power Supply on my P7-1490 can't handle it because I need a 6-pin power connector.  The 1490 comes with a 300 Watt power supply.  I need something at least 450 watts.  What upgrade adapts to my box.  Also, the Jasmine motherboard can handle the new graphics card.  It fits into the PCI Express slot.

  Please look at the Corsair CX500, CX600, CX500M, or CX600M power supplies for your needs. Yes, the card of mother Jasmine in your p7-1490 should be able to manage the GTX 650 it. In addition, you need to enable 'Secure Boot' and possibly 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS before installing the GTX 650 it.

• Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b003sm: Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b003sm processor and upgraded graphics card.

  Hello

  I should probably start by listing the specs of the laptop. So here it is:

  Model: Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b003sm

  Series: [personal information]

  Product: C6T29EA #BED

  Processor: Intel Core i5-3317U (1.7 GHz)

  Memory: 8 GB RAM

  Graphics card: GeForce GT 630 m 2 GB memory

  OS: Windows 7 x 64

  So the question, well not really a problem, but recently I have noticed that my laptop has been strugling to run the latest games coming out to the point where some games even on setting him down still have very low FPS.

  Then I thought to replace my CPU and graphics card because these two seem to be the issue.

  Now, I got the user guide but it was provided on a CD while my laptop is not a CD ROM  So, I have been unable to determine what kind of a slot processor use my laptop.

  So I was wondering if anyone of you could help me determine if I can replace the processor and the graphics card on my laptop and if I can provide some suggestions to what I should look at, since I read that chaning a CPU on a laptop is sticky bussines.

  Thank you in advance.

  Also if there is more information needed please tell me so that I can add.

  Please have look at the below information shown for the processor upgrade

• Upgrade graphics card for the best game - Pavillion P6360SC

  Hello

  I have a Pavillion P6360SC with a graphics ATI Radeon HD 5450 and that you need to upgrade to a better (or similar?) ATI.

  I play the last Star Wars Old Republic MMORPG (but have difficulties with my ATI 5450).

  Is it possible to use e.g. ATI Radeon HD 6950 into my HP Pavilion?

  OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  Processor: Intel Core i3 530 2.93 GHz
  Motherboard: MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E)
  RAM: 4 GB
  Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5450

  Best regards

  Hi Jimmy,.

  Most, if not all of the mid range and more AMD Radeon video cards provide at least a 400 Watt power supply. Recommended graphics cards are close higher and higher mid-range video cards.

  If you don't want to power level video card here's something to consider.

  An older but great video card is NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB DDR5. This card does not support DirectX 11 which is eventually used in some of the latest PC games but it's a great performer.

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

• Upgrade graphics card for HP Pavilion A6720Y desktop computer

  I have the HP Pavilion A670Y desktop computer and was thinking of upgrading the graphics card GeForce 9100 integrated to a Radeon HD5850 and adding a new power which would allow this change. Power side is there a reason that my office would not be able to support the Radeon HD5850?

  It's your motherboard.  Make sure that the slot next to the PCI-E x 16 card is open as 5850 is a wide double card.  Your PC has only a 300 watt PSU so 5850 is only in need of a much larger power supply.  Look at the 12 + rating required by the 5850 and then choose the new modular power supply.  Buy not only on power alone.

  Your PC has a practice of small Tower and the 5850 will consume more power (wattage) compared to your existing integrated video processor which means more heat. Be prepared to deal with this issue.  The 5850 is perhaps too card for your PC.

  Don't forget that your PC system BIOS is up to date.

  Open your Pc and clean all the dust. Then a measure of your current diet and buy one that is modular with almost the same dimensions.  Then measure around the PCI-E x 16 slot to make sure that the card fits.

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

• Upgrade graphics card for my Elite m9426f

  OK, so these are my computer specs: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01570954&lang=en&cc=us&taskI...

  Yes, I'm aware that this is not the greatest, but until recently, I've not had many rightly complain about the performance of the graphics card, with which he came. Well, very recently, I got a little a reality check in this field, namely when I tried to run 'The Witcher 2' and * if this game didn't murder my card and take all his valuables.

  Because I know that the computer is pretty old, but I don't have enough money for a new computer, I thought I would upgrade my graphics card. The problem is this: I'm a complete newb to the material and I have no idea of what graphics card to get and what to do with it once I have. Anyone here have any useful suggestions?

  Once again, his mercy the newb and use simple terms, if you can. Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Go to the forum and the website of the manufacturer of games and get a proposal of recommended video card.  You may need to ask questions on the game settings and the impact on the performance of the video card.  From what I've observed for a recommendation of the video card, you need something of the order of the ATI 4850 to the NVIDIA GTX 260.  Two of these video cards require you upgrading of power supply in your PC.

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

  In general, I would recommend the NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB with DDR5 that your PC has only a 300 Watt power supply. The GT 240 1 GB becomes hard to find.  This card does not support DirectX 11, but then it is mainly to improve the fine details.

  My m9200t is basically identical to your PC and there is not a lot of room inside a video card shorter is better. Open your PC and make sure the adjacent location on the PCI-E x 16 slot (where your existing video card is vacant).

  The NVIDIA TI 550 and a 500 Watt power supply should do the work. The Corsair CX500 is good quality food.

  BTW, there's a patch out for The Witcher 2.
