600 watt power supply questions and video card upgrade questions

I am looking to upgrade to a Xfx Radeon 7970 Double D graphics card but i was wondering if the HP 600w psu that came with my Hp Envy Phoenix H9-1350 has a 8 pin and 6 pin Pci-e connector because that is what the Radeon 7970 needs. Also I am wondering if it will fit into the Hp Envy Phoenix H9-1350 because the case seems small but the card is only 9.3" long. I currently have an Amd Radeon 7670 but I think it is time for an upgrade but I am just not sure if the power supply has the correct power connections needed for the Radeon 7970.
This is the card I am looking to get:

I understand you want to know if the power supply will have the necessary connectors for the desired video card.
According to the specifications, it lists the case as a mini-tower which is on the small side.  You may need to use a tape measure to find out exactly how much room the system has in regards to length.  It has become much better, but other components (such as the HDD) were at the end of the PCIe slot limiting the length of a video card.  Sorry I couldn't provide anything more specific.  The manuals are somewhat vague as far as the internal dimensions and I don't have access to one to verify the dimensions.  
Ordinarily, I can find more information regarding the power supply not that seems not to be the case here.  According to this thread, the PSU has two 6 pin PCIe connectors.  You would need something like this to convert one of the 6pin connectors to 8pin.  As long as the PSU is capable of pushing enough watts, it shouldn't be an issue.  The card needs up to a 500W power supply, so the 600W power supply should be just enough to cover it.

  • 600 watt power supply

    So I found that I need a 600 watt power supply for a HP ENVY 4120T desktop how big does it need to be?

    As you were previously told by Big_Dave,  the Corsair CX600 listed here is perfect.  It is an exact fit into your case.

  • G4 Sawtooth Processor and Video Card upgrades

    Hi there,
    I'm heading for a major upgrade on my G4 Sawtooth 500Hz, starting with processor and Video card, not to mention maxing out the RAM slots.
    My main applications are Final Cut, After Effects and Photoshop.
    I wish I had more money for a dual processor (or even a G5 – sigh!) so I'm looking at the Sonnet Encore/ST G4/1.4GHz Processor versus the PowerLogix G4/1.4GHz 7455A PowerForce55. I've done the benchmark tests at OWC's site and I'm inclined to Sonnet. Anyone have an opinion between these 2, or even if there's another one I should be also considering?
    Should I make the effort and go for a dual processor? because of the clear benefits on rendering time (specially for After Effects)?
    Video Cards:
    These I think I need more help. Going thru these threads I learned that I should consider the power supply (overheating problems) and that "AGP G4's have either a 208w or a 237w Power supply (PSU)" - I have no idea what I got.
    On another thread I read: "as far as I'm aware, there are only two video cards currently available retail that support Tiger's core image/video, the Radeon 9600 and 9800. Unfortunately the 9600 requires a x4 AGP slot, so that just leaves the 9800. It's a powerful card but consequently is fairly expensive and can be noisy due to it's fan."
    What is a x4 AGP slot? Do Sawtooths have this?
    I'll be upgrading to Tiger soon. Does this mean I can't go for the ATI Radeon 9200?
    I'd prefer AGP than PCI cards. What are my real options considering power consumption, OS and performance?
    Important: I’d like the video card to run 2 monitors, LCD and/or CRT.
    Further upgrades would be SATA controller card and one or two internal SATA drives replacing the ones I got.
    Last but not least:
    Instead of all this fuss, should I 'just' get the MacMini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo????? and later on get a G5 (or whatever it will be called...)?

    I think I may have written what you've quoted. You probably already know, but you don't actually need a Core Image compatible card to use Tiger. As far as I'm aware, few applications currently make use of Core Image and fewer still actually require it (Apple's Aperture and Motion being possible exceptions).
    As PB PM mentions, you have a x2 AGP slot and unfortunately there's little middle ground in terms of graphics cards available. The main options are the Radeon 9800 at one end (powerful but relatively expensive, power hungry, hot running and noisy) or perhaps the Radeon 9000 at the other. It's no longer available retail but they appear on eBay occasionally. It's an AGP card, was available in 64MB and 128MB versions and can support two monitors. One slight downside is that it has an ADC connector (alongside the VGA connector), which the Sawtooth logic board doesn't support, but I believe you can still connect an ADC to DVI adapter cable to connect a DVI monitor. It doesn't support Core Image either.

  • PSU and Video card upgrade for HP e9280t

    Hello, I wanted to upgrade my PSU and video card. The PSU I would like to get is the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&Tpk=17-151-096) but I wasn't sure if my computer could handle and hold the PSU. The video card I would like to get is the EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604) but im not sure if my computer can handle this too. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4066665) can someone please tell me if I can upgrade to the PSU and Video card?

    Stuart, welcome to the forum.
    The truth is, any video card that will run properly with the 300W PSU in the computer, will not be much better than the integrated video.  Most newer mid-level cards require a PSU with a minimum of 400W watts.  I have searched for other members many times without any luck.  If you want to upgrade the PSU, it will give you far more options.

  • External PSU (power supply unit) for Video Card

    Hello guys. My 7979 6gb Radeon card arrived, but my Mac Pro only has 6-pin connections for video cards and two molex inputs, when my video card needs two 8-pin ports (or four 4-pin molex ports, 2 for each 8-pin), since I tried running the card simply using one molex for each 8-pin port (the card just turns off when I try to load a graphic intense video game, but otherwise runs) and it fails. To solve this, I am purchasing new psu tomorrow morning at best buy. 2 questions
    1. Since this psu will be external and not a replacement for the Mac pro psu, do I have to connect anything from the psu to the motherboard, or do I simply plug it into the wall outlet, and then plug the video card 8-pin cables into the psu ?
    2. The "requirements" on the video cards website says that I require a 500 watt CPU. But I believe this assumes a 500 watt CPU that is powering the whole computer (fans, ram, hard drives etc), so does that mean that getting a 430 watt psu will be fine since its exclusively for the video card? I read online that at max usage, the card only uses about 370 watts.
    Thanks

    The PCI-e bus can provide 75 watts, as can each of the two 6-pin auxiliary power connectors, so you only need a 150 watt supply.  It is possible to mount it internally, below the optical drive.

  • K330 Video card upgrade question.

    New to forum and was just about to pull the trigger on a new K330-77471CU (from BB). However, I read a customers comment saying that this unit only had an AGP port, no PCI express slots for upgrading the video card, can this be true??? Does'nt seem possible today.  The desktop overall will fit my needs, but I want to make sure that if I elected to upgrade the video card someday, I could with the latest generation cards. 

    thanks for the reply Duck3. The above desktop is a new release for BB stores and features i3-2100 / 8mgs memory / 1 T HD. Not a high end unit by any means but one that you would think would allow the user to upgrade the integrated vid. card to a dedicated ........ hmmmm , I'm hoping perhaps a rep from Lenovo will jump in and clear this up so I can make a decision on this particular desktop.  I highly doubt our local BB sales rep is going to know the answer to this. These things just hit the shelves here. And yes, the customer was giving his review of the above mentioned model he just purchased.

  • Video Card Upgrade question

    I want to run Apple's new Apature program on my iMac. I currently do not have a video card that will allow me to run this program. Does anyone have any suggestions on the most versitile cost effective card for the G5. I also do a bit of editing and Photoshop.

  • 90 watt vs 65 watt power supply

    I have a T61p.  It came with a 90 watt power supply.  I ordered an extra power supply when I ordered the system and was sent a 65 watt supply.
    Is it OK to use the 65 watt on my laptop?
    Does it simply re-charge the battery slower?
    Noel
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    All systems with a dedicated graphics card require a 90W power supply for proper function. A 65W PS will simply not offer enough power for a system with dedicated graphics card to function at full potential - note this refers to a situation when the computer is in use - which may eventually cause issues with the computer. While shutdown, the lower watt rated PS will charge your system, albeit more slowly indeed.
    Hope that helps

  • Found a Mac Pro in the trash, missing harddrive and video card. Can I fix?

    I believe this is a Mac Pro G5 (Aluminum casing). It is missing a harddrive and video card. I want to fix it. I plugged it in and turned it on and I see a red light coming from the front, not sure if that means its broken or just missing a videocard/harddrive.
    Is there a way I can tell if I will be able to fix this machine before buying parts? When i turn it on, it makes the OSX noise the same as when I turn my laptop on.
    THanks!

    Can you fix it? No, I think you should mail it to me
    The best way is to see if you can find a cheap video card - craigslist, ebay, borrow from someone else local to you (computer club or users group?)
    As for hard drives, since you can boot of an external firewire drive - you have lots of options.
    The video card is obviously your biggest issue. Since you apparently get the "Welcome to Mac" startup chime it doesn't sound like their is a major issue with it.
    Now, even if you get it working, what are you going to do with it? The G5 was good for it's day, but for the amount of electricity it consumes, it's not the best out there - the new Mini is probably faster than it and consumes a fraction of the power.
    Then again, you got it for free and can probably get a video card for under $100 - cheaper than a Mini and if you live in cold climate the extra heat it generates could be a net positive

    Here are the specs for your HP G5305be Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model has a PCIe x16 expansion slot for graphics cards and a 300 watt power supply. You will need to replace the power supply with a 500 or 600 watt unit to run the  MSI GTX650 Ti BOOST TWIN FROZR III card. The Corsair CX500 or CX600 come highly recommended and are known to fit most HP consumer computer cases.

  • Pavillion P6-2310 video card upgrade

    I wish to install a better video card in the p6-2310. I have heard that some models will not accept changes in the video and that the power supply may not have the proper connectors. Can someone clarify if a new video card is possible on this paticular machine and perhaps recommend a video card. I was thinking of something like a GeForce GTX 650 or such.
    Thanks in advance, Larry 

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2310 Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model has a PCI Express x16 (Gen 2.0) graphics card slot and a 300 watt power supply. Please measure along the plane of the PCIe x16 slot to determine the available space for a graphics card. The card you need depends on the space you have and the intended use. You will also need to upgrade the power supply to 500 to 600 watts, The Corsair CX500 and CX600 come highly recommended and are known to fit many HP consumer desktop cases.
