Pavilion 6540y: the upgrading of power supply and graphics card

I need to update my graphics card. What is the best inexpensive card graphics and power supply to buy for my HP Pavilion 6540 Y. I use it mainly for work and graphic design. Currently, the stock video card doesn't have enough memory to effectively run Photoshop and painter with three monitors. Photoshop's request at least 512 M of memory for what I do, but I'd like to at least 1 GB. Sometimes I will have Photoshop and painter running at the same time.

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.

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

  • 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 ".

    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.

    Consult this publication document for more information.  Open your PC and measurement.  The NVIDIA 560 TI type is 9 "long.

    I don't see a problem with the NVIDIA TI 560 and the m9753uk.

    You will need a power of 500 watts.  The Corsair CX500 is an excellent choice.

    Thank you!

    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.

    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 Pavilion 500-326na: upgrade of power supply for HP Pavilion 500-326na

    Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 500-326na. I now want to update its graphics and to do this, I need to power level. I want to upgrade to a CX500, but the specs say that his current power is "external". I don't know what this means, and indeed, I don't know if I will be able to upgrade. I see no reason why I shouldn't be, but everything I've seen only offers assistance on internal types.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Look at the power supply cord.  If you have a device of black brick similar to those for portable computers, then you have an external power supply. PC with external cannot be upgraded with the installation of an internal power supply as a Corsair CX500 according to HP internal.

    I recently bought a graphics card for my game needs and the requirement for the graphics card is 400 watt power supply with 24A (amps) and I have 450 Watt power supply + 12v 18 A (amps)

    Although I ordered an another power supply that has a larger amps and watt, but today when I installed the my new ti gtx 550 on the motherboad he was running well, I plugged the son booted the system and saw the graphics card is running, but there is no hardware changes, I could not see my newly installed graphics card I tried to launch the graphics driver, but received the error that the graphics driver cannot find compatible hardware, even in the Device Manager, my map does not show, but I can see the card itself works very well the fan was running, my question is what could be the reason behind no my graphics card detection I wonder, it might be due to my diet maybe she didn't feed my gpu completely,? some suggestions would be awesome

    Hello

    Please report the number of HP for your PC product.

    A poor diet can not feed the card well enough for the bios to recognize that there is a video card then present if the fan turns.

    You could try a good known video card and see if the PC then recognizes a video card.

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s5615uk: upgrade I can add a graphics card to an HP Pavilion Slimline s5615uk-m

    Can I add a graphics card? If Yes, which?

    @DavidMW You are welcome.

    Please do not hessitate to ask questions.  This is the reason why I'm here.

    Most of the games are today video very intensive.  This is why your computer begins to lag when the game gets busy.  A video card would be a good thing, but will be much easier to install more memory.  This is the memory that is recommended by Crucial memory.  The max memory is 4 GB, however.  You would be better served if you decide to upgrade the memory to buy 2 x 2 GB memory new and remove the old.  Another way to increase performance of the system is to add an SSD.  Take a look at the recommended by Crucial SSD.  They make great products for OEM computers.  My HP laptop game boots Omen is less than 7 seconds and increases the speed of loading games with the 256 GB SSD.

    I have to be honest with you.  The Slimline models simply are not meant for the game; even
