Pavilion 550-279na: GPU and PSU upgrade for Pavilion 550-279

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion 550-279na. While it fits most of my needs, I enjoy the occasional game and found that the GPU that is it came with, the Radeon R5 330 does not offer enough "oomph".

http://support.HP.com/GB-en/document/c04949172

I had a quick glance and think that the Nvidia GTX 750ti would probably answer my needs.

Don't you think that this card would fit in my PC?

Also, I guess 180W POWER supply that it came with is not sufficient to run a faster GPU, you have any recommendations on the size or model that would suit the Pavilion.

My apologies if these are very secular issues, my knowledge of material isn't at the height!

Thanks for any help.

Charlie

Greetings,

Your PC has the correct UEFI BIOS.

The GTX 750Ti requires a minimum 300 Watt power supply.

You must measure the space available along the existing graphics card and compare it to the length of the backup. The 750 is 5.7 inches long. The 750 is a dual slot card. Make sure you have room and you can check out a second plate of Panel rear I/O to install the card.

It must fit unless it's really tight in your chassis with the existing card.

Same problem with the power supply. Verify that you can install a power supply 350 Watt or 400 watts.

I prefer modular Corsair or Seasonic power switching.

Make sure that you disable secure boot and enable the legacy boot in the BIOS.

Also to uninstall all of the AMD graphics drivers and software before you install the card GTX 750.

See you soon!

    And also. Are there strings I have to buy or something special to help out these things?

    Please let me know! Thank you

    The Corsair PSU should adapt and work without problem. The 3.0 PCIe x 16 video should also work, but because x 16 card mother slot is a v2.0 there is potential for issues to arise. Please read the guide to selection of video cards Big_Dave for more information.

    I have three points I want to run by a person in the know before I update. My motherboard is the N-Alvorix-RS880-formfat (Alvorix). 1 is the GPU. GeForce GTX660 - http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SUPERCLOCKED-Graphics-02G-P4-2662-KR/dp/B00966IREK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=...

    Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

    Yes, it seems that everything should play nice. The CX600 Corsair is known to fit the cases most, HP consumer computer office, of which your p6654y and it is strongly recommended. The AMD HDX850WFK42GM is a processor of Deneb TDP of 95 watts, so it should work on your computer. Geforce GTX660, while it is a little big, must match your computer... Make sure you just measure along the slot PCIe graphic for obstructions.

  • Video card (and others) upgrades for a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t

    Hello... First of all, I just want to say that these forums have been an invaluable resource for me in my quest to upgrade my current PC. A lot of good answers and always at the top of the Google search results, you guys have been so super helpful. Without a doubt a very different experience from what I got when I bought my PC from a company that rhymes with 'hell '.

    I have a few specific questions, however, and thought I'd throw them to let experts weigh... For the record, I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t with all parts except for the video card, which is currently an ATI over-pants v4800. I am running three monitors 20 "(1 DVI and Display Port 2 at present, but who can be flexible). Also, I don't a few moderate games (FPS, MMO) and watch a lot of Netflix...

    1. I'm certainly looking to update my video card, but I do not know what actually fits. I'm ready to upgrade the PSU as well (probably to the Corsair CX-600 recommended elsewhere on this forum), so power should not be a problem. And money is not a huge problem either, as long as the card is less than $500 or more. I've been watching some of the newer cards (like a 680 GTX or even the new 770), but I'm afraid that they will not physically fit in the case, or will be not compatible with the motherboard (which seems to be the PCIe 1.0? Or I read wrong?). So basically, my ultimate question is: what is the best possible graphics card given my case current and potentially put to level power supply, motherboard, I could use? If it's important, SLI is feasible but not more.

    2. I also intend to add additional RAM. The page on the card to my PC to the HP support Site says it takes DDR3 1600 PC3 10600, but everything that I find these days in the RAM is DDR 3 1600 PC3 12800. My mother/PC card will support the 12800 or do I have to keep hunting to find 10600 sticks?

    3. and finally, I'll also put in a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. Do you know if the motherboard compatible with the SATA connectors suitable for speeds of 6 GB? Just plug page says "SATA" and does not specify a version.

    Any help you could give me on these questions would be greatly appreciated. This computer has served me well for a few years now, and I'm hoping to keep it for a few more years. Thanks in advance and have a nice day...

    Aaron

    Here are the specifications of plant origin and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t CTO and here are the specs of his card mother IPISB-CH (Cleveland). According to the specifications, the motherboard uses the Chipset Intel H67 Express that supports an extension v2.0 x 16 PCIe and 3Gbs SATAII (SATA2).

    (1) SLI is not "feasible", so no need to go there. GeForce GTX 680 cards are going to be long, perhaps too long. You need to measure the space available at the back of the case more further along the x 16 PCIe slot to determine what can be installed. You will need to resign it a notch or two... until you find one that matches. The CX600 Corsair is a great choice and fits, even if you can buy the place CX600M. The CX600M is modular and allows much better management of the cables and so the potential for a better air circulation.

    (2) with regard to memory, the State of the plug;

    Four DIMM DDR3 240-pin connectors
    Supports the PC3 10600 connectors DIMM DDR3 (1333 MHz)
    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

    Then, two sets of most of these (2 x 4 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Kits should do the trick. You can also go to the website Crucial.com and use two of their 'guaranteed compatible memory upgrade'.

    (3) your computer supports speeds SATAII (3Gbs) and this is the best it will do. However, the SATA connector is identical to what is found on a SSD SATAIII and it should be compatible with your computer.

    Number on the GPU. You already have the top of the page mother/processor board and there is no way to add or replace it with a better graphics in any system. On memory, you have 8 GB. This is the Manual:

    Officially, the maximum is 12 concerts but here users have reported success with 16. You do not have an easily accessible memory Bay and you should have an open memory slot to add a SO-DIMM DDR3L-1600 to upgrade memory. I seriously doubt you will see much of a difference, but I have 16 gigs in my laptop then I say, go ahead.

  • Processor and graphics upgrade for notebook Pavilion DV6Z?

    Hello, my name is Charles and I am looking to upgrade my laptop Hp Pavilion DV6Z. I know that it is a older laptop, but recently I bought Diablo 3 and I want to be able to run it on here. This computer has 3 GB of Ram and had a new hardrive put in pretty recently. In this computer I have:

    -NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X 1950 Pro or higher.

    Preferably, I would like to be able to run the game on average or better settings. Is it useful to upgrade this laptop even though it is a little older? Thanks for any advice.

    Hi, Charles:

    I can't find the right to repair your laptop passes only dv6z.

    This is the closest I could find.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01744837.PDF

    Basically, a complete motherboard Exchange should update the video.

    The processor can probably be updated to one of those listed in Chapter 1.

    The costs attendant when you run an upgrade card mother processor and swap, in my opinion, would exceed the cost of buying a new computer laptop with what you want in it, if you were to your trade (some stores offer up to $200 for the times) or sell it.

  • Questions o/e battery and RAM upgrade for dv6700

    Hello everyone. I have 2 questions regarding my HP laptop (model number: dv6000 on the right corner of the eyelid, dv6920ea at the back of the laptop and HP System Info por displays as dv6700 notebook PC):

    1 recently, I saw the battery life drops SIGNIFICANTLY and check battery HP says its normal and I should replace.

    • Purchase of a laptop battery that supports HP Pavilion dv6700 Entertainment Notebook PC series will be sufficient or should it be specially for my computer model laptop #dv6920ea?
    • What is the difference between a 12 cell and the battery 6 cells? My laptop does support both? What is the best?
    • What is the difference between This battery sold by Amazon and it sold by HP?

    2. I want to increase the RAM of my laptop. Currently its 3 GB (2048 + 1024). I searched memory upward and they say only 1 GB of RAM is available. HP sells RAM directly? Or is there anywhere else where I can buy real from RAM?

    I know that these are very novice questions, so please bear with me.

    Thanks in advance for the help. I look forward to a response.

    Best regards

    Ashraf

    6-cell is a standard battery 12 cell's long battery life running, he executed more time when you're on battery and is slightly larger in size and may protrude from the laptop.

    The difference between HP batteries and other brand, you can be sure to use the highest quality lithium batteries HP others you are not sure of the quality. Amazon announced says it's a real HP battery, so its all too good.

    The battery fits any series HP DV6000 laptop computers.

    Unless you use a 64-bit operating system, it's a waste of money to go to 4 GB.

    Any brand of ram will work, just be sure that the seller guarantees the compatibility of your system model.

  • Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t: video card upgrade for Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t

    Hi all

    I recently bought a map GTX1060 (from a MSI GeForce GT640) 4 year old GPU from nVidia in line in order to improve the capacity of my machine so that I would be able to play Fallout 4 and 3 Witcher (both put my poor old GT640 kneeling - even on lower resolution settings).  It is part of the case and the powers that be (Yes, I plug in the connector 6-pin PSU) and 600W POWER supply is adequate for the task, but I'm starting to think that I probably have a motherboard compatibility issue.

    When I install the card and turn on the PC, it hangs at the splash screen of installation (a common problem from what I've already read on these forums) and that it goes no further (keyboard and mouse do not respond at this time here).  I contacted the nVidia support, and they suggested some changes to the BIOS (disable Secure Boot, activate the Legacy/MSC Mode and switching between legacy and UEFI BIOS selection Mode), but when I access the HP configuration utility (F10 on boot to top with GT640 card installed), these options are not put at my disposal.

    Is it possible for me to access the BIOS settings that nVidia has indicated I should be adjusted?

    This GPU card simply is not at all compatible with my motherboard?

    System Specs:

    HP model number: B4J28AV #ABA (Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t)

    Motherboard: Pegatron 2ACE(Socket 0); 1.08; Intel Sandy Bridge-E Rev. 07; Intel Southbridge X 79 Rev 05

    BIOS: FRIEND 7.15

    CPU: Intel Core i7 3930 K (3.2 GHz)

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1

    Current GPU: MSI GeForce GT640; Driver 10.18.13.6881

    If the GTX1060 is not compatible, which is the highest card GPU nVidia performance that can be used with this motherboard (given the limitation of power supply 600W)?

    Is there another motherboard for this machine which would be compatible with my existing CPU and the GTX1060?

    Thanks for your help...

    Hello

    The h8 1380t has a Pegatron motherboard 'Pittsburgh '.

    You could try to find a future revision of this motherboard. I'm also a 810-150se with a map of the 'Pittsburgh2' system that has UEFI. I use a card Nvidia GTX EVGA FTW 970 with excellent results.

    You will need to check that the Review Board would fit in your frame.

    The other options are:

    1.new want to expedition with Win 7 Pro, or

    2 falcon Northwest.

    In a map of the main current system the permutation of Asus, Gigabyte or Asrock is difficult at best. You have to change other components such as the processor, heat sink, fan and the memory. You can probably buy an OEM of Windows 7 Pro version.

    It becomes quite expensive when you do the math on all of the changes you will have to do. There is no guarantee that you can find a map of the main current system having the correct spacers for your chassis h8 - 1380t.

    Avoid a Skylake processor if you can unless you don't mind jumping through a few extra hoops to install Win 7.

    Please consult this article and go here for the workaround resolved the problem installing win 7.
