the HP Pavilion Desktop 500-329 GPU upgrade

Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the GPU and the power supply of my

HP Pavilion Desktop PC 500-329

The GPU is a GTX 960 and the PSU is a 500W EVGA power.

I read that I had to turn on legacy something with the computer with the f10 boot menu. I made this and just want to know if it's possible.

Yes, you can upgrade, simply follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the graphics card on the connectors and the power of the power supply.

You have a PCI Express x 16 (Gen 3.0) card slot there will be plenty of choice for video cards.

  • Pavilion 500-329: to upgrade my power supply for my new GPU

    Hi, I recently got and 660 GTX ti as a gift from a Guild mate. Unfortunately, the stock PSU is a potato (very) disappointing 300W. Who also likes to scream when I'm still so things like move my mouse. Wonderful innit!

    in any case, I've been shopping around for a PSU that could fuel at least my graphics card for the recommended specifications, 450w, unlike what is 240 R7 in the system right now, which is recommended to have 400w... And I managed to find one that meets at my expecations in size and power output.

    I just want to see if someone has comments on the sizes to enter in the case of Pavvy 500-329.

    Since your Canadian, I took the liberty of a few analyses available of the PSU.

    Your current system has a R7-240 which is inspired by 30W.  The GTX660ti attracts 150W.  The net difference is 120W.  The original power supply is 300W but it is a maximum.  You'd never see your car top SPEED!

    I would like to see you get a Corsair CX CDN 96,19 600W as your choice. Here are the specifications.   It's 80 + efficient power consumption curve and focus not on your system. It is also an RIGHT in your system.  If cost is a concern, then I suggest you step down for the 500W version.  It's 20 less CDN.  Its also an exact adjustment.

  • HP Pavilion 500-141ea: GPU upgrade

    Hi all

    I'm new here, but hid for some time in the run up to the upgrade of my GPU.

    I am owner of a pavilion of 500-141 ea - spec/details here: here.

    I have had it for awhile now and have made a few casual games on it (Euro Truck Sim2) - it's OK at best, I am looking to upgrade the GPU to something a little better to improve the graphics. After absorbing as much information as possible on these forums, I discovered I obviously need a new graphics card, and as my current diet is valued at 300W, it would be best to stick to a moment PSU.

    Now, I've been watching the 960 GTX that seems a fantastic card but, for what I'm doing, I'm not sure if it's exaggerated.

    I turned to the GTX 750Ti after I've seen recommended by so many people. Including who I've been watching is the Asus version. Link. Looks like a solid GPU and fantastic value for money. I did some measure inside my case and think it "should" adapt, but as I am a novice I'm not sure, he would not blame on what whether 100%. It is the main thing that concerns me.

    For a power supply I was watching a CX500 Corsair, which should be more than enough for my needs at the moment. Looking at the ASUS card especially need a 6 pin directly from the power supply (from what I've read).

    I also read on UEFI/BIOS/settings issues so I'm ready for it to come when I update the map, but I'll post if I have a problem.

    So, I'm sorry for the essay, but I guess I want to know if anyone knows if the ASUS card would be and if the Corsair would be a good diet to use.

    Thanks for reading / your answers.

    Chris.

    CGD1, welcome to the forum.

    We do not mind trials because they give us the information we need to make good decisions.

    Here is the map of Newegg.  Normally, the thing that worries me cards dual fan is the length.  You want the card to fit and have lots of space for good air circulation.  This card is the perfect length.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  I also like the EVGA cards.  They have great Tech support.

    I love Corsair products.  The PSU you chose should work great.  The map in my link only requires 6-power connector additional.

  • New Graphic card of the HP Pavilion HPE-500-cs

    Hello, I have HP Pavilion HPE 500 - cs with win7 on it.

    Because I wanted to give my PC to my brother, I decided to keep the GTX 460 graphic card to give it a lower new Ge Force 9400 GT which I got from my friend. There is not a supply of radiator connector and PCI-E connector was reconected several times so it is not loose.

    But what is the problem. When I try to start the HP Pavilion with new GPU, it freezes just to the HP loading logo and I can't do anything.

    Is there a way to change the old GPU to give it the lowest?

    There is something on the forums on secure boot in the bios, but it's just for win8.

    Thank you

    Edit: Sorry for my mistake... I called the power as a PCI connector which of course isn´t

    Thank you very much, but now I see the problem in me.

    And it s because I have a different look in the bios and I can´t see the menus as it guides, but I remember that once it was like that.

    This would solve my problem if I could downgrade somehow it back.

    But still, thank you for your comment

  • HP Pavilion 500-002ec: the HP Pavilion 500-002ec gpu upgrade

    Hello.

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-002ec pc and I want to replace the pre-installed gpu (Radeon HD 8570). I was looking at GTX950 and I have a few questions. I need more power for her? If so, how much more? And it is even compatible with current pc? Thanks for your replies.

    Hello

    If do the 950 GTX specific and model does not require a 6-pin auxiliary power connector then it should work. However, most of the GTX 950 require an auxiliary power connector 6-pin and the HP 300 watt standard power supply in your PC doesn't have that connector.  You would be obliged to replace the power supply or try the NVIDIA GTX 750.

    If you decide to stay with the GTX950 then I suggest you one of the following blocks that will give you a bit of room to develop and/or use a graphics card more large: Corsair CX500, CX600 or CX650m

    Be sure to measure to ensure that the graphics card fits will fit inside.

  • Pavilion 500-138eo: GPU upgrade

    I intend to move the graphics card in my Pavilion 500-138eo Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 or 970 and upgrade the PSU to fit to the requirements of the new graphics card. The motherboard (Memphis-s) and the case does support these cards as they are cards double-width, and what diet do you recommend? The current graphics card is a Geforce GTX 645 with 2 GB of VRAM, twice more than the Nvidia reference design.

    Hi there @apanpapan3

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking for information for upgrading the video card and the power supply to your computer. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Looking at the two video cards that you are considering, the 960 requires that a minimum of 400 w of power and the 970 requires a minimum of 970 w. The two cards are double-width, but the 970 is a little longer. Both use PCI Express 3.0.

    The system has however a 300W power supply, then of course you will need to level it and don't forget the replacement of the power supply has the necessary extra power connections, 1 or 2 6-pin connections must be available depending on the card.

    The current internal power supply also has the following additional parameters:

    • Form factor: ATX internal
  • The HP Pavilion Elite 340uk graphics card upgrade

    Hi guys, im using a HP Pavilion Elite 340uk desktop computer that came with a Geforce GT320 video card. The map is gone... dead disappeared and I'm looking for a better replacement. Can I get some suggestions of compatible with my motherboard (MS-7613) graphics cards. ? So, if I change this card with a better, should I upgrade of feeding as well? Thanks for your help.

    Hello:

    My recommendation would be to get a GT430... you won't need to change the P/S.

    Just make sure you get one with an interface 128-bit for the best performance memory (I think there may be a few models with a 64-bit memory interface).

  • Pavilion Elite M9160F PSU & GPU Upgrade

    First, I searched for hours for this information before deciding to post here...

    I think that the power supply on my Pavilion Elite M9160F is bad. When the computer has been interrupted for some time (with no power connected), it takes a long time for him to return power on. Specifically, I mean that it does nothing - no green light, no beep nothing - for a minute. Then all of a sudden to get 'normally '. I've not had problems with it once running. Still I think to replace it... and I might as well hit the GPU Geforce 8600GT derisory.

    I could not find detailed on the power supply specifications. I suppose that a standard ATX POWER supply will work, but I would like the conformation of someone who really knows.

    As for the GPU, I thought that the upgrade only available (given the size of the case... the mini tour was a big mistake) was the Geforce 9500GT. However, on the Nvidia site it seems to be a more powerful card, the Geforce GT 220, with similar dimensions and the same connector PCI-E 2.0.

    These components will work with a Pavilion Elite M9160F (the only changes to the original configuration are that I have 8 GB of RAM PC25300 and I installed Win 7 Pro 64)?  Here are the specific components that I am considering.

    In addition, is 450 watts a big enough abut the original 350 watts? This computer has a small business and want enough power to run the GPU, but not so much that I regularly cause heat problems.

    EVGA nVidia GeForce GT 220

    Hello Hoopermazing, I checked the dimensions for this EVGA GT 220 graphics card which can be found here and the length of 7.5 inches.

    EVGA GeForce GT 220 DDR3

    Just a thought.

    Are they compatible? If this is not the case, can you recommend me an another quad core CPU that is?

    Thanks for your help.

    Is impossible to pass an A6-4xxx an A10-7xxx series. But you can switch to a

    Processor AMD A10 - 4600M (3.2 GHz/2.3 GHz, 1 600 MHz/4.0 MB L2 cache, DDR3, quad core, 35W)

    Here is the Service Manual:

    This is a drop in replacement. The motherboard, memory, etc. would remain the same. He would still use memory DDR3-1600.

  • Pavilion p7 - 1266 s: Officejet 8500 has not been recognized by the HP Pavilion desktop computer

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion p7 - 1266 s and a Toshiba laptop. The two are connected, wireless, a HP Officejet Pro 8500. Both are running Windows7, 64-bit.

    Until yesterday, I was able to print on both computers with no problems. Today, I can only print to the Toshiba laptop. When I go to devices and printers on the desktop screen, the Officejet is gray and I cannot print. This happened once before, about a year or two ago, and I don't remember how the issue has been resolved. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi @JimCon,

    I understand that you are able to print your Toshiba, but not from your HP Pavilion computer. I see that you have your 8500 wireless configuration and that when you look into the device and printers, the printer appears greyed out. I suspect deleting and re-add the printer will solve the problem, but it may be better to run printing HP and doctor Scan because it is a free utility (tool) that helps you to quickly solve or identify common printing, scanning and connectivity problems including but not limited to:

    • Connectivity:

  • Helps to remove the HP Pavilion Desktop Hard Drive

    So recently I bought your desktop HP Pavilion from Best Buy a few months ago. Thing was running great until this morning, when the hard drive has suddenly decided to go belly and FRY on me. I called HP Support and they are sending me a free HD to replace the bad, but I need to remove and return them. No problem, I think I'll open the chassis out. Little I didn't know...

    I really don't know who designed this thing inside, but to reach the screws to remove the hard drive is almost impossible for someone like me who has no specialized tools. I got two of the screws, but the front rear one I can barely see and even less to reach, and I don't know there's a fourth that I can't even imagine reaching. I hope someone can give me something special or a detail that I'm missing that will make this possible, if not, I am at a loss how to proceed.

    Here is the info on the machine:

    HP Pavilion Media Center

    Product: KT334AA-ABA

    Model: m8530f

    If it is necessary, I'll post a picture of her womb. If anyone has any info that can help me to disassemble this beast, I would be eternally grateful!

    You must insert the personal media at the front of the computer player. Remove the front panel, remove the screws which fix the cage of the front's personal media players and pull the Green tab by dragging the cage in the front. You will then be able to easily remove the drive.

    Do not hesitate to call HP, they will be happy to help you with the installation of the replacement drive.

  • Pavilion Desktop p7-1228 PC upgrade question

    So about a year or two there, that I had this pre-constructed off-the-shelf pc at best buy and it has some newer issues running game titles. My recent birthday my friend made me a graphics card "Dual-X of Sapphire r9 270 x" and a "Tachyon Rosewill 750 x" power supply.

    After 2 hours of tedious installation I have two of them plugged into my computer, however when I lit it back I was unable to access the internet through wifi and Ethernet cables and it seemed that I could not access a lot of my computer programs.

    I'm no stranger to the electronic wiring, so I'm fairly certain that is not the question, my friend thought it might be my drivers. Is it possible to update the drivers in offline mode, or is this a completely different problem I have? Any help is appreciated more than.

    Ok. boot from the disk and Run the Startup Repair Wizard.

    It should solve the problem of the BCD and remake your bootable system.
