Can I upgrade HP 3300 Pro Slimlime SFF Power supply (PSU)?

housecarl2066 · Jan 8, 2018

Tried searching online but cannot find any answer to this. I found this thread:

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3526982/pro-3300-gpu-upgrade.html

Which established that it is not a standard ATX PSU, but doesn't say if the PSU can be replaced or not.

I know it's currently running a 220w.

Looking through the manual, it seems there is a 270w option, along with a part number, but that's not going to be high enough.

What is it that you think you want to do with it?

housecarl2066 · Jan 8, 2018

I want to put a more powerful graphics card with HDMI output. I was looking at GT1030 cards, but I will need around 300w power supply.

housecarl2066 :

The card draws only 30W so you don't need a new PSU.

housecarl2066 · Jan 8, 2018

Really? I'm sure I read that I needed 300w power to run one of these cards.

Not even close.

Just make sure you get a slim line card.

Thanks a lot. I was looking at this one...

https://www.ebuyer.com/791766-asus-geforce-gt-1030-2gb-oc-graphics-card-ph-gt1030-o2g?mkwid=sWA3N2WiH_dc&pcrid=51630194939&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyszSBRDJARIsAHAqQ4oeabpuwOIdoZ3UkIPNcNkQ8UnDx7J9ry0HjTzR2j9jrrjs_VYucioaAtxCEALw_wcB

as it's only £54.99 and has DVI and HDMI output. I will take a look at the one you've just posted and see how it differs.

I see the EVGA also has HDMI and VGA, and comes for only £73.99. I think I may go with that instead. Is there much difference beteen that and the Asus?

As long as they are slim line cards either is fine.

You have to get a low profile card or it won't fit.
