that rx 400 card on your ho to me looks unlikely for what I see just a card that requires ''''READ PAGE 2-3, Under SFF models ---
that sets your limitations (Low Profile, Maximum 25 watts in PCIe Graphics x16 slot).'' ?

that's between you and HP and anything you do over what they speced and sold the computer for is ''ALL YOUR OWN RISK''

youi risk and buy the card and it works , well no harm . you buy the card and it done for any reason , well you out the money on the card if you cant return it for a refund

that's all there is to it .. so with whats said there it seems to be a 25w slot on that motherboard and then you put a card in that needs 75w ?? do you expect it to work ?

all you can do now is what...

better look hard at the hp forums on your model you may find you can ony use a 700 series or 7000 series on it ?? hard enugh to get these newer cards to work on custom boards and hp aint one of them ..

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that wount post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..


you got to know the the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers there only guaranteed to work as is out of the box as you bought it ,..


also these boards do not have to meet atx standards and there pci-e slot power may not do the required 75w needed for most higher end cards and can be limited to say 45 or 60w that is all thats needed with the low end factory oem cards that it may of shipped with


example

''The most serious problem is the limited wattage on the grpahics slot. It's 25W on the SSF.''

all the psu in the world don't over come that

you can see from this guys dell that pci-e slot limit your card may need full 75w on the slot ?

notice how they don't give a direct answer ?

I cant recommend any upgrads to a prebuilt

randongamer is not correct and he aint got a clue when dealing with a prebuilt -- sorry to say but good luck

just buy and try and hope you don't cry and most find out

one more

''READ PAGE 2-3, Under SFF models ---

if any card draws over that pci-e slot limit on its watts ??? and you could put a 10,000w psu in it and that's not going to change that one bit its still a 25w slot

look at the rest of the post and see where no 0one seems to understand that and the hp guy quit answering

any way do as you feel is best it will work as you expect or it will not --

then you betterhope that hp bios will accept these latest cards ?

sorry you don't get this

here again ramdom gamer aint got a clue on what he talks about and they go more then plenty that cat and cant use cards over a 600 seried [NVidia]

you need to know a bit more on this before you answer

these prebuilt have proprietary bios and proprietary motherboards you have to look at all model by model , sure there some that may accept certain cards there some may not at all or limited to something like super llow powered low profile card [like it seems his is due to the pci-e slot power limitation ]

in the end the risk is all on you on what you want to do cause all hp guarantees is what was on it the day you bought it out of its box , not a drop more ...



you say a 750ti ??

ALL at YOUR OWN RISK you need to know for 100% proven sure any card will work on your model of find yourself holding the bag

I'm done good luck the rest is all up to you

can be , like I said its a model by model that one he used may be better compatibility wise ? may not be restricted to 35w on the pci-e slot and supplies full 75w to a card ?? may have a better bios and support that's compatible with all cards or a better selection of cards ??

that's why you have to investigate you model like theres some from hp that will not take a NVidia card over a 600 series

these are not oem or ''custom'' boards like we buy to do our gaming rigs there proprietary boards and bios that just fit hp needs for that model used

and if hp says it not going to use any card that need 35w of pci-e slot power that's what they do if there bios for that model dont have the codes in it for just any card to be used that's all there is to that

like I said there designed to be used only as you bought it or with authorized hp parts for upgrading anything else you do over that is all your own risk


so with that say hp will only allow a 35w low profile low powered card they can ''fix'' the boards slot and the boards bios to only accept them type of cards ''proprietary ''

like I said different models different outcomes

I tried looking up the PCIe wattage and found a PDF file with all the technical info. Anyway on the search results that lead me to that file it said ".......75-watt maximum if PCIe x4 slot is not populated". I tried to find this within the file, but it's too big to skim through and find, you can try if you want http://www.levnapc.cz/ProductsFiles/HP-8200-Elite-manual-en.pdf

Anyway, to me it sounds like the motherboard can supply 75w to the PCIe slot, as long as you only use the one slot.

Ok, I found the part where it says the wattage of the PCIe slots. It's on page 19, it basically says the graphics card 16x slot is 75W if there is no card in the 4x slot, otherwise it's only 35W.....this is for full height PCIe slots. If it's a low profile PCIe then it's only 25W.
So, as long as it's the computer you linked (and not a small form factor) and you don't have any other cards in the PCIe slots, then it can supply the require 75W.

all you can do now is what YOU feel is best and hope for the best . all I can do is point out with a porebuilt things are not so plug and play as your lead to believe

the rest is up to you to look up and research

like look here under graphics cards

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02742852

then look art one in the list

[NVidia is easy to look up]

http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_nvs_295_us.html

then in the spesc of that card

Maximum Power Consumption 23w

so hp limits the slot power to that 25w and limits you to these type of cards [ HP- PROPRITORY ] motherboard

then if you look here seems HP used 4 different mother board ?

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02742792

''For use in 6200 Pro Series models: '' i'll bet these 2 boards have a higher slot power for the use of the AMD 6000 series cards HP put in them [still may not be full 75w pci-e atx standard ] could just be bumped just enugh to use the AMD card in them


anyway ... its all your own risk



your on your own from here
