[SOLVED] How do I replace a proprietary PSU?

[MarioV17]

Hey guys so I have a HP tp01-0145m desktop and want to upgrade the psu in order to add a gpu. The only issue is that I read that the psu is proprietary. Are there any work arounds that I can do in order to replace it with a psu with more power? And lastly which psu would you recommend? This is the psu it currently has.

you would need to measure the space available to ensure it can fit the new PSU.
and make sure the system isn't using any types of proprietary cables that your new PSU couldn't accommodate.

Tom's has a thread dedicated to PSU quality with a detailed tier listing. try searching thread titles.

This is the psu it currently has.

It's a 12VO psu with 12V standby. You can't replace it for a ATX specificated psu with 3,3v, 5v, 12v and 5v standby. Only a more powerfull propriet 12VO psu is compatibel.

Proprietary systems never work outside of it's bubble. It isn't fair but it's just the way it is. Next time if you get another PC, go custom. Don't restrict yourself to one time use systems designed by cooperations.

All you can do is replace the case and mobo. What is the full system specs? You might be able to use ram and cpu in a diifrent mobo that use atx psu.

Here is a link to the pc specs
And here is a link to the motherboard specs

AMD Ryzen™ 3 3200G Processor(2a).
If you can get a mobo with am4 socket, you can rebuild your pc in a diffrent case and a 650w psu, you'll be good to go

What gpu do you want to add?

Choose from tier 1 or 2. A good psu will have a good long warranty

You mean psu or gpu?

I’m not sure just yet, I’ve been looking at getting the rx 570/580 or a 1650 super. I’m open to getting something else though considering I may be limited as to what I can get

I need a new psu in order to get a gpu. The one currently installed only provides 180W.

Its a very bad time for gpu's. If you can find one without burning a hole in your wallet

Yeah I’ve noticed, prices have skyrocketed for some reason. That’s another reason for me trying to be careful on what I do with my pc lol

I read the parts list your system has. It's not worth the time, trouble and money to attempt an upgrade. Everything in that system needs to be upgraded. Use it for what it's worth or get rid of it.

And you would benifit with faster ram

 

[geofelt]

Reading the specs you posted, it says that the pcie x16 slot is occupied.
What is installed there?
The 3200g processor should be using integrated graphics.

I really think you are stuck.

The motherboard is proprietary and will not use standard ATX power supply connectors.
The case has minimal ventilation. A hot card will get no meaningful airflow.
Only one exhaust fan, and no intake that I can see.
Another problem will be how to connect the front panel to the case.
The front usb ports are exactly mated to the case.
Changing out the case will not work.

You could salvage the cpu, ram, drives and buy a new case,psu and motherboard.

I suspect that you would be better off to sell the whole package and build anew.
You can buy a stronger i3-10100, a lga1200 motherboard and 16gb of ddr4 ram for $250 or so.
