MT G1 400 proDesk (Midtower): (need help) graphics card upgrade

I'm looking to improve my 4600 ProDesk of Intel to a Nvidia GTX 970 graphics.  I understand that this will also necessitate upgrading the PSU aswell, I was thinking of a 650-700 watts model.

Here is a link to all the specifications of the desktop computer (make sure you use the MT or Midtower model because it shows a model SFF aswell).

http://WWW8.HP.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?DocName=c04405864

Basic PC specs

  • Intel i5 4690 S
  • 2 x 4 G of RAM
  • Toshiba DTO1ACA100 1 TB hard drive
  • Motherboard can be seen in the above link

My concerns

  • 970 simply does not
  • Power supply may damage the motherboard or the CPU (Intel i5 4690 S)
  • How overide and graphics (Intel 4600)
  • What model of GPU and PSU to consider

I thank you very much for helping me I am pretty new to the PC construction or upgrade of processes and advice would be fantastic.

Hello

Your computer uses a standard ATX (PSU) power.  Open the PC and measure the size of the PSU.  Over 300 watts ATX HP power supplies should be 5.9 "by 3.4" 5.5 "then seek a replacement with the same measures.  Your PC is open, measure to see how much space you have a graphics card.  Study the posted article.

Corsair CS650m or CX600 would be a good choice for a power supply.

This EVGA GTX 970would be a good choice for a graphics card, but measure to make sure it fits.

  • Prodesk 400 G1 SFF: 400 Prodesk G1 SFF - update graphics card

    Hello world

    I have an interesting problem that I hope you guys could help me with.

    I have a Prodesk 400 G1 SFF and trying to update the graphics card integrated with a GeForce 210.

    The thing is when I put the card into the slot, and then start the on-board computer and the new

    come into conflict.

    It seems to begin completely on the windows login screen, but the only thing you can see is the slider (when you move
    the mouse) on a black background. When I remove the new card, the computer starts and the screen works fine

    I tried to install the GeForce 210 drivers without the card in the slot, but then I get an error message saying that the
    material is not found and can not continue the installation.

    I tried to insert the new card with windows started (I know, not a good idea) to see if the installation process
    detects the card then, but I got the same message "hardware not found".

    It seems that I'm pretty locked. I can't put the card into the slot, because then the screen does not work and I can't
    install the drivers without the card because it must be inserted in order to ensure that it can be installed.

    You guys have any suggestions on how to solve this problem or someone of you had similar experiences?

    Appreciate the help,

    Fredrik

    You are the very welcome, Fredrik.

    Yes, without the new card installed... First go in the bios, turn on legacy mode and disable secure boot.

    HP video card will not work on any HP PC that comes with the W8 or newer of the factory, unless these BIOS settings are changed.

    Normally the PC won't start not even with those setting enabled and a HP not installed video card.

    Then, after changing these settings (without the new installed card), reboot the PC and go into windows, go to Device Manager, click to expand the category of device display maps, right-click on the Intel HD graphics card, select uninstall and check the box uninstall driver.

    Do not restart requested.  Shut down the PC and install the video card.

    Turn on the PC, hope it works, and then install the drivers.

    If you encounter problems (which I doubt you want) you can always remove the graphics card, clear the CMOS which resets all parameters of the BIOS to default values.

    Then reinstall the Intel graphics drivers.

    Here's the problem with that:

    AMD A6 - 4400M, Max 3,2 GHz / 2.7 - GHz Base, 1 MB of L2 cache, Dual-Core,.

    Above are your graphics options for laptop. If yours is 1.9 ghz it cannot the A8, which is the best CPU and GPU option available. The video is part of the processor. There is just no way for you to improve the graphics capabilities of this laptop. It may seem like the A-6 is better because it works to 2.7 ghz, but there only 2 hearts: you have 4. And the 7520 graphics are lower than what you have. That's what you try to do? There is not too many computers that reach 4 ghz, not to mention a laptop.

  • The graphics card upgrade issues...

    I recently bought this graphics card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=5660536&sku=A271-5774

    Also, I advanced and bought this power supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276573

    I own a HP Pavilion a6414 and this is my first video/graphics card upgrade.  I did a good bit of research and I know that I have the PCI E x 16 appropriate for the card slot and the power SUPPLY 650 Watt PSU to insert in the ATX case. I measure the UAP present btw.  I'm a little worried about the upgrade of the power supply, because I read somewhere (I think it's here on this forum) that some HP tech rep said a person who upgrade the power supply could not be performed on the a6414, but I don't see why not.

    My other concern is about the speed of the processor to the graphics card and possibly voltage problems, but I think the power SUPPLY Ultra PSU will be fine.  Either that it is my first time to play with the graphics card and PSU, I'm looking for advice on the compatibility between these three components, i.e. the model, the card and the power supply.  Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance...

    I installed everything today and it works like a charm.  I had read so much about the HD 5770 not recognized by HPs and the test of the power supply, but everything worked so far.  I bought a LG LED 20 "monitor today as well, and everything looks great.  Thanks for all the advice guys...  The links you provided helped with Dave BIOS, thanks.

    (the main problems I see people complain are regarding bios and incompatibility)... so... can I use this card?

    Hey, you're welcome!

    No, if it is not broken, do not fix.  If everything works fine, just keep it in game.  If you start to have problems, such as the computer freezing or startup strangely, you may need to change the power supply.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1030 graphic card upgrade help

    OK, so I have a desktop HP Pavilion p7-1030, and the graphics card is crap, I need to update something much better.

    I know that I'll probably need a new power supply too, if anyone knows a good combo?

    Also, where can I find the old graphics card and POWER supply in order to remove and replace?

    I'm playing BF3, so it must be good.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Zxcvbnm0, welcome to the forum.

    According to the specifications of the computer, there is only the embedded video.  It is integrated in the motherboard, so you cannot remove it.  It will be automatically disabled when a discreet card is installed.  Integrated video is never good for video intensive games or other programs.

    I like Corsair and OCZ PSU.  I recommend at least 500W.  This will give you more choices of video cards.  You must measure the current PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  Normally, I buy my parts from Newegg.

    Here is an example of a good food:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139028

    I like the graphics cards XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  I recommend you to stay at 9 "long or less.  This ensures that it will not go in the space provided.

    Here is an example of a video card that should work:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814150561

    The PSU is where the power cord is connected.  If you do upgrades, it will help mark the wires of the PSU to make sure that you connect them correctly.  The connectors of the motherboard must be labelled, and more, the wires on the new power supply.
