*Great video, I have upgraded a lot of these office machines, with 1050TI or 1650, I have also used Quadro cards as well.*

[@bobyperes1600]

did you change the power supply or you still have the same that comes with the hp prodesk 600 g3

[@thetiger2317]

Nice video. Can you tell if the psu is a typical TFX sized one that can be replaced? Or is it something OEM with special pins? Most of those HP ProDesks I found have only a 180W PSU and I think it wouldn't be enough to handle it if I add an GTX 1050 Ti, right?

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

I think it's a proprietary HP power supply. I wouldn't try to change it

[@storm3016]

@@NerdyThrowbackTech ​ @NerdyThrowbackTech They actually sell up to 500W versions of this propriety power supply. I have a newer HP desktop in the same form factor (a Pavilion TP01 with a 5700G that comes with the 180W version of this PSU) and have been looking in to them a bit in case I need better graphics in the future. edit: the model nr. for the 500W version is HP L05757-800. Cheers!

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

Good video. I wonder.. If a M.2 pcie ssd/adapter could run on a pcie x1 slot. Booting from it might be the tricky part. That way you could could use a 6 or 8 pin adapter for a video card from the sata cable.. I have a Dell SFF with a 240W psu that I did this with and I ran a gtx 1060 6gb on it with an i5 cpu during the mining boom. It ran for 3yrs straight. (It still works, I just turned it off). If it worked then maybe you could put a gtx 1650 Super or a 1660 seies card. 🤔

[@slaydog5102]

Upgrade to 16 gb ram and get an rx 550 4gb low profile , rx 6400 or 1050 ti low profile and if you can afford more try a 1650 low profile

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

It's a HP motherboard. They don't share information about their motherboards.

[@migu3les544]

So, how could I know if a component is compatible with the motherboard?

[@_lightoak_806]

What about his psu it looks liek he kept the base on and thats a 250W isnt he gonna kill the pc or is that not how it works

[@AbdllahRaphel]

Hey i hope you'd reply but i wanted to say that i love your videos also i have a question: what GPU do you recommend for my HP Prodesk 600 g1 twr? i also have a intel i5 4570 3.20Ghz what GPU do you recommend for me that can run lot of games like Devil may cry 5 or VRCHAT?

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

Probably everything up to NVIDIA GTX 1660 or the AMD Radeon RX 580. Newer GPUs will be bottlenecked. But it depends of the power supply too.

[@AbdllahRaphel]

is 240 Watt good?@@NerdyThrowbackTech

[@Eunicee_]

hi! I am going to have this unit and I was wondering if the graphics card is only limited to the 1050TI? Are there any better cards for the unit? I have Intel core I7, and 16 gb for RAM. thanks!

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

1050 Ti is a good choice. The card must be a low profile build, so it can fit. Another option is GeForce GTX 1650 or Radeon RX 6400

[@zeus4185]

Can i add a gtx 1660 super ? Or will it crash ?? ​@@NerdyThrowbackTech

[@NerdyThrowbackTech]

You need a low profile graphics card. Something like GeForce GT 730 or GT 1030

[@abageigy]

@@NerdyThrowbackTechI prefer 1030 over other one. Just be sure picking the GDDR5 variant though.

Are quadro p2000 work great at that pc?

[@mattdudley3789]

P2000 is a full height card. You would have to get a T600 which is low profile… but if you have a dual slot then a 3050 is available in low profile. It’s a gimped version but faster than a 1060 in retrospect. It’s just a little slower than a 1070 where a regular 3050 is just a little faster than a 1070
