Hi All,
Can the Z400 with a 475w PSU support an Nvidia K4200 - do I need to source any extras - IE Front mount Fans..

GOS- Zambia,

It is apparently possible to use a Quadro K4200 in an HP z400. There is one such system listed in the results of Passmark Performance Test:

Rating: 3280
CPU: 7516 (Xeon W3690)
2D: 640
3D: 4692
Memory: 1828 (12GB)
Disk: 1985 (Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB)

Compare these reuslts to use in an HP z420 (E5-1660 v2 / 32GB / Quadro K4200 (4GB) > Intel 730 480GB / Western Digital Black WD1003FZEX 1TB):

Rating: 5064
CPU: 13989
2D: 819
3D: 4596
Memory: 2772 (32GB)
Disk: 4555 (Intel 730 480GB)

So, at least this one example of the z400 makes very good use of a Quadro K4200.

Also, I tried a K4200 in a Dell Precision 390 (2007, Xeon X3230 / 8GB /WD 320GB) with a 375W power supply and results were reasonable with a Passmark 2D score of 456 and 3D of 4066.

It's logical that it may be used as the Quadro K4200 is rated to use a maximum of 105W. It appears that under ordinary circumstances there is not a need for auxiliary cooling. In my use in an HP z420 a quite long, continuous rendering use may raise the temperature to 63C. This is a different situation from the Quadro 4000 which would run up to 95C.

I have been very pleased with the Quadro K4200 in 3D CAD, graphic design, and rendering.

Cheers,

BambiBoom
