Upgrade the graphics card and the power supply on a Pavilion p6823w - compatibility?

Hello, everyone! After purchasing my HP not too long ago, I decided that I wanted to get updates for it. I intend to turn it into a computer game later, but for now I start small.

I'm still a little wet behind the ears when it comes to computer hardware, so I would greatly appreciate any input on my decisions for improvement - especially if my power supply and graphics card will adapt and be compatible or if the marks are bad.

Graphics card:

PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 1 GB

POWER SUPPLY:

Corsair 500W CX500

Here is the specific computer I have, for reference:

Thanks in advance!

Hello

I don't foresee any problems with your choices.

Relatives on the slot PCI-E x 16 must be vacant.  Examine the characteristics of the motherboard.

These "how-to" HP articles should be useful.

TIP: Unlock and slide the optical drive forward before you remove and install the power supply. This helps facilitate the removal and installation of the power supply, but it is not mandatory.

  • Pavillion 500-214: I have a HP Pavilion 500-214 and need to upgrade the power supply to support a new video card

    I'm upgrading my video card, and the other needs at least 400w.  The existing PSU is only 300w.  What is a power supply compatible to be installed in the Pavilion 500-214?

    Well, we meet again.

    While the minimum requirement is power for most video cards 400W, I always offer at least 500W; 600W is even better.  This will allow a high maximum operating power.  A modular power supply is good in a medium-sized business, because just use cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better circulation of air in the case.

    This is a power supply that should work for you.  You should check the measurements of the existing PSU (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) with the measures of the new power supply to ensure that it will not go in the space provided.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, this is not the place to save money.

  • HP Elite 1090-T H8: seeking your suggestions for upgrading the power supply for a new video card

    I have a HP EliteH8-1090 t who is about a year, but with an AMD Radeon HD 6570 low power graphics card and a 450W power supply. I want to upgrade the 650W power to support the installation of a replacement graphics card.

    I tried to replace the HP 450W with Corsair TX650 and Corsair TX850 food. The system appears to power (DVD drawer opens and closes, the hard disks spin, fans run) with either a Corsair, he's stuck at this point. My system is unable to enter start mode when either power supply is installed - it seems stuck in a mode of seed, and the monitor still asleep.

    Can someone please advise on a compatible power supply for HP system? I'm puzzled by why a simple exchange of a power supply does not work. Just like a record, the system has a card mother Pegatron IPMTB-K (Truckee).

    Thank you!

    No problem. I wish you good luck with it. On a positive note the HX650 is a much better than the TX650 ILA unit internal quality and what I like is the best it's quite fan fan much quieter than the TX650 while helping your organization of cable being modular and help keep temperatures cooler in your computer case.

    It's a high-end desktop PC.  No doubt he will come with an ATX PSU with 5VDC, 12VDC and 3.3Vdc output rails.  I'm not familiar with the Interior of your PC, so I'll give you two General configurations of PSU layout.

    1. design intermediary such as PC Power & Cooling with one or two 80 mm fans to expel air through the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341011

    2 down-draft design as Cosair 450VX with a 120 mm or more huge blowing fan case in the heat sink and the motherboard of the PSU.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139003

    If the power supply is at the top, back or side of the PC, then a power supply down-project will do a better job to remove heat from the PC.  If the power supply is in the middle of the PC, then go with an intermediate design.  This design will generate more noise at higher load, since the smallest fan should turn more quickly to transport the same amount of air in a 150 mm or 120 mm fan.

    Looking for a nominal 80% efficiency POWER supply.  Detachable power cable is a bonus to maximize the air flow inside the PC.  Make sure the power supply is delivered with the right type of power connector to drive you GPU.  All modern units of quality with 20 + 4 and 4 + 4 key cards.  If you do not plan to run graphic dual with a high range GPU, so it doesn't matter what quality 80 watter 380 power SUPPLY Antec, Corsair, Enermax and Seasonic PSU will be enough.  You will need to back up POWER supply to 450-550W, if you run two graphics cards high-end.

    A good 450W PSU is a good compromise because it is more effective when the PC is idle and has enough power to run two GPUS.  If you want to save $ on electricity, then get a smaller power supply (range 300-350W) because these units reach the level of efficiency of 80% around release of 65 to 70 watts.

  • Pavilion m9400t CTO: connection cable of the power supply to a Pavilion m9400t CTO

    I installed a replacement PSU which has more cables and a few different - no problem on the identification and plug 20 + 4, 4 + 4 on the MB.  Also, no problem connecting to the SATA cables for drives (HARD drive and two optical drives).  There is a PCI-E cable, which without doubt, I do not for my graphics card NVIDIA to address (original) does not have a connector to it.   But I am confused and I want to be sure, I'm not spoil, I have another cable with connector Molex 4, nowhere I see to connect.  Without doubt, it is for the power supply of the fans and other devices - my PC feeds its fans of the power supplied to the motherboard? Can I just ignore that cable operators, for now?

    If you're implying that all your existing devices have power wires going to then simply ignore them the molex connector 4-pin.

  • Replace the power supply for a Pavilion a140n

    How to install a new power supply in a HP Pavilion a140n? Is there a step by step guide?

    Zz30fg, welcome to the forum.

    Is the model you list correct?  I can't find anywhere.

    Before you start, I suggest that you measure existing power supply unit (PSU) to make sure that the one you choose to insert in the space provided.

    The first thing you will do is turn off the computer.  Disconnect all devices that are connected, for example, keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.  Once done, remove the side cover of the case.  There are two or more screws on the back of the computer that you have to remove.  Then slide the side gently to the rear.  Put it somewhere safe.   Be sure to touch the metal inside of the case before touching any components.  This will eliminate static electricity (ESD).  Now you can disconnect the cables from the PSU.  This is where it gets a little tricky.  I normally take a picture of the connections and mark them as clearly as possible on the motherboard.  Believe me, you'll be much happier if you do.  Once this operation is complete, it is time to remove the (4) screws that hold the power supply in place.  Hold it with care.  If it falls it can damage other components.

    The new power supply will be marked with the appropriate connector cables.  At this point, it's just the opposite of what you were doing to uninstall the existing PSU.  Install the power supply into the case.  Do not overtighten the screws.  Make sure that the cables are inside the case.  Once in place, carefully connect all cables to the appropriate connectors.

    If you have any other questions, I will watch this thread for you help.

  • HP G5470UK - upgrade the power supply

    I want to install a more powerful graphics card but told me that before I do so I need to upgrade the PSU in my G5470uk of the machine.  Currently of 300w, what would be the recommended size of a power supply for this particular stock pc - there is no other upgrade again.

    Thanks in advance

    According to the power requirements of the video card you are considering, the Corsair CX430, CX500, CX600, CX500M, or CX600M should meet your needs. These power supplies are highly recommended and are known to adapt to most HP consumer PCs.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Can I put a new graphics card and power supply in my computer.

    Hey all, I have the model P7-1459 and it is good, but I was hoping maybe give him a boost of game. But I was not able to know if she could handle what I want to do. The new graphics card would require a 450W power supply, and I do not know if this model could handle. Anyone know of a way or another? Need help.

    Joshua, you are welcome!

    I'm sorry that I misunderstood your question.  I thought that you wanted to know if the computer would process the card.

    Yes, you can upgrade the power supply (PSU).  I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing these measures to the one you choose.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  They will provide quality amateur with a reasonable price.  A good video card requires a clean and stable power supply.  I recommend at least 500W; 550W at 600W would be even better.  This would allow for future updates.  The computer uses only the amount of energy needed to operate the components.

    I hope this helps.

    How to replace a power supply.

    How to replace a video card.

    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.

  • No video after having replaced the graphics card and power supply

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion m9515y PC. The graphics card that came with it (NVidia GeForce 9600 GS, 768 MB) did not suit the minimum specification required by a game that I played. Things in the game has been very slow - I could see a delay of s ~0.5 to move my mouse on the splash screen for the game.

    Today, I bought a new graphics (NVidia Geforce GTX 550Ti, 1 GB) card and a Corsair 700W PSU to replace the 350W one that came with the system.

    From the outset that I messed up something. It's been a while since I opened the box and I thought wrongly that the top panel (with the rubber surface) to come off before the side panel could be deleted. I removed the two screws now the top panel in place and slipped it in the process it disconnect and two thin black wires which I do not know the function. It was attached near the power button and one was attached to the rear of the Panel. The sons have stripped the ends rather than a connector of some sort and I don't know how they connect back or if they are the cause of the problem that I see now.

    In any case, I advanced and removed the old PSU and video card and replace them with the new. Two of them are significantly larger than the components, they replaced, but they managed to adapt with some maneuvers. All cards are well-placed in the PCI slots.

    The power is connected hard disk, DVD drive, the motherboard and the new video card. I'm not aware of any other connections that need to be made to food. There was not much clearance between the power supply and the back of the DVD player, but I was able to get the data and clinging to the DVD of power cables.

    After having done all that, I hooked my monitor DVI cable, plugged in the power cable and turned on the power. When I plug it in, the power button on the top of the tower is illuminated and the power seems to work. However, my monitor indicates that there is no video signal. I tried to put the old return video card, but I don't always have a video signal. Because I can't get a video signal, I can't tell if the PC is start or not.

    Does anyone know the purpose of the wires that were connected to the top of the Tower?

    They would cause they cause this problem if they are not correctly connected?
    Any suggestions for the possible causes of the absence of a signal from a video card?

    I just took the PC to a repair shop and it turns out that the problem was quite simple: I don't have the PCU power cable 4 pins hanging. Everything seems to start fine when we hung out at the shop. Fortunately, the place that I took did not even charge me what as they don't charge co-pays and since it is such a simple fix.

    Now I feel kind of stupid, but I know better next time...
