Why shouldn't it work? Of course it will work.

 

That motherboard has an x16 PCIE 2.0 slot.

As long as your motherboard has a PCIe 16x slot, any GPU will work in it.

Don't see why it wouldn't.  And next time can you not put your title in full caps?

It likely WILL work.

 

IPISB-CU (Carmel2) and IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) ARE compatible with most GPUs, even newly released ones. Read below.

 

I've seen this A LOT, and many people think it's impossible to get a newer GPU installed due to the old BIOS (7.12) or older. As long as the card fits, has PCIE 16, and your PSU can power it, most likely it will work.

 

These motherboard supports nearly any GPU from a firmware/hardwire and size perspective even a brand new 2022 May released 6650XT which is a 2.5 slot with 3 fans...though you will have to remove the upper ram plastic bracket hinges. As you know, the problem is the UEFI version is very early and needs an update, so it's not compatible with any cards that don't offer legacy support. None of the BIOS versions make this fix. It looks like the RX 5xx series is the last known from AMD that offers this support, with one known exception--RX 5xx Sapphire cards don't work...without this fix anyway.

 

Here's the fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT9bb_0Fwbo With this fix you need to enable integrated video, then set integrated video as primary. This in particular is quite annoying with HP, as they have blocked out the video ports in the back. They also state on the product support page that integrated video is "unavailable" with a discrete GPU, though I guess technically they're not wrong. Another strange thing is they use DVI rather than VGA. After taking off the plastic "blockers" then connecting a monitor to the integrated video and booting up the PC with new GPU.

 

BTW I realize this is back from 2017, but there are likely lots more people searching for to fix this problem, like how I was. The HP forum is full of "super users" that claim it's unfixable for every reason from it's not a UEFI mobo (it is EUFI) to PCIE 1 isn't compatible past PCIE2 (it is).
