I have an Elite Desk 800 G1. I want to upgrade the power supply. HP doesn't offer any PSU larger then 320W. Any thoughts on a 3rd party power supply that will fit the case and power the mother board?
The Motherboard and power supply are Proprietary , and are specific for each other so a standard ATX power supply upgrade is out of the question....Sorry.
You may have it all correct. Once you power it on and the lights flash, have you tried to push the power button on the tower? If everything is right it should boot up partway, youll have to hit F1 and then it will boot up the rest of the way.
Its hard to say without seeing it though. Had you jumpered the green to black on the power supplies main connector, like this...
I have just gotten an EliteDesk 800 G2 as well and I find that I have the same issue, 280W PSU which is totally useless when I have added a VGA card, Nvidia GTX-1050!
I am a novice in all the cabling matters inside the computer. Do you think that by using a PSU which has modular cables would be easier to fit and sort out the power cables in the EliteDesk 800 G2?
Any idea on how to get the system to forget about that or rewire the remaining pins on the P2 connector to show that the fan is on?
Are you referring to the issue described in Slickpuss's original post second last paragraph (where you need to press F1 to continue)?
Do you guys think that using a PSU which has modular cables would be easier to be fitted into the EliteDesk 800 G2? http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=342
For example, the Silverstone SFX Series : ST45SF-G .... would that be good?
Thanks for any comments/suggestions there are forthcoming!
