Compaq 8100 SFF graphics

[uvaisali042]

HI everyone! I have a problem with a purchase.

I have the HP Compaq 8100 Elite SFF with core i5 processor, 8gb ram and 500 GB hardrive. Keeping in mind the 35W limitation, I want to ask if I can somehow fit this graphic card and run my games with it:

MSI Gt1030 2GB DDR5 LP OC

The graphic card is low profile hence it must be able to fit in my case, any help appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, that is the best you can do, can you check the psu specs just to make sure?

What do you mean by psu specs? Shall I send you a picture of the tag on it?

So that card may not run in that system, reason being is it may not have support for graphics cards that require a UEFI BIOS. You have a 1st Gen processor, motherboards that originally shipped with a 2nd Gen processor had to get support added for this with a later BIOS update.

Anything 700 Series and newer from nvidia requires a UEFI compatible BIOS.
If you get the card, before you install it make sure you have the latest BIOS available from HP.

Sure, most important is current of + and -12V on the tag.

seen the pictures, you may get a 1050ti low profile.

1050Ti is not available to me, plus it costs alot with shipping to my country. However the 1030 is pretty affordable and also in stock, Will this model run on my HP Compaq 8100 SFF:
