I have a HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF

[Chess of confusion]

Can it fit a Normal GTX 1050 Ti because finding a low profile is hard to find and not only that but more expensive to. Thanks

That is the curse of small form factor. You MUST get a low-profile card. It can be a dual-slot card, but it can't be full-width.

Just looking at the case makes it obvious:

Fortunately, if this picture I have of the motherboard is correct, the PCIe slot is not at the end, thus, you could use a low-profile card with a taller-than-single-slot cooler.

Even more of a curse is something like my old Dell Inspiron 3647 Small Desktop. It required low-profile, AND the PCIe slot was all the way at the end of the case, so it had to be single slot with a short cooler for the GPU, otherwise it would've butted up against the side of the case. It was a weird sort of design that looked like a reverse, upside-down install of the MB, with the PCIe slot located right at the edge, thus positioning the video card such that the cooler was facing away from the rest of the motherboard.

yea that's my MOB Luckily i've just brought a GTX 1050 Ti low-profile on Ebay for $70.50 or £50.26 I'm so happy.

Is it a 1050Ti that requires a 6-pin power connector, or no? Hopefully one of those that does NOT need it. The power supplies on the small form-factor systems usually don't include those.

Do you know what the power supply is rated at? Also, if you can get a look at the side label that shows how many amps are on the 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails, it will reasonably indicate whether there's enough power available for that card.

The 1050Ti doesn't require a huge amount of power, but some of those power supplies on the small systems are really limited. My Dell, for example, was rated at 220W total, with 18A (thus 216W) available on the 12V rail.

mine just says AC Input 240 v

 

[King_V]

It will be a label on the side of the power supply, that is only visible from the inside of the case.

 

[Chess of confusion]

yea that's were i got that from it says at the top AC Input 240 v and when i look down it also say 240 W

 

[King_V]

It might actually be on the bottom, and not visible unless removed.

Is it the odd-shaped one like this?

I know were it is I'm telling you what it say's

 

[King_V]

There's a label on the bottom in that pic I showed - if you can read that label, it'll say things about the various 12V, 5V, and 3.3V stuff. May not be accessible.

I saw one online that claims to be for the Elite 8300SFF (https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/HP-Elite-8300-SFF-Power-Supply-240w-613762-001-UK-SELLER-Drop/5011040196) that said 16A for 12V main, and 16A for 12Vcpu. See the zoomed-in view of the 4th picture.

If that's correct, and if your 8200 uses the same power supply as the 8300, then you should be good to go. It may even have the 6-pin connector if your card needs it -but I'm not 100% sure that what I'm looking at is the correct one.

I don't have any private messages showing on Tom's website, and, you can't possibly know my email address, so, there's that.

But, best to keep all questions, etc., in the forum rather than via private message anyway.

I think i got it here if came up with something:

LOL did't mean to be wrong angle

 

[King_V]

Yep, looks the same - you should be good.

just a quick one what about the GTX 1050 ti mini would that work as well...and last thing are there other makes of the GTX 1050 ti other then MSI that don't need 6 pin power connectors to run them. Thanks .
