Want to Install RX 570 in HP SFF

[Dawoodalibhalli]

I want to install rx 570 on my HP SFF PC . Is it possible that i make it work by using pcie extender and a power supply that only powers the card using the 8 pin connector

NOTE:The second psu will be placed outside the case and power the card using the 8-pin connector while the oem hp psu will power the mobo and the pc

why not just ditch the case? So you dont need the PCIe riser.

Which case fits the oem sff hp mobo

BTW I have a really low budget

I dont think there are any, or rather I'm not bothered to find any. A piece of cardboard at the bottom will do

and I'm suggesting a way to spend less, which is ultimately why you're upgrading it instead of replacing it.

 

I dont know how you'll get it work anyway since with a riser, the card has to be hold on with something else and the case gets in the way of that

The best you could do is a GTX 1050ti or GTX 1650. unless you'd go for an RX560...which is substantially slower than a 570.

Simple answer: Yes, it is.

Austin did something similar with a power supply in Scrapyard Wars and Linus did use extenders for graphics card in his video where an Epyc replaced all other computers in the house.

yes though you need to short a certain 2 power wires on 24 pin connecter of the second PSU

on an atx psu theres a green wire that u need to short to ground for it to turn on. you can get connecters that it for you also are you planning to use a regular psu for it oris a kit for this purpose

thanks dude! I am going to use a regular coolermaster 400w psu

[Dawoodalibhalli]

just a noob question but curious that what will happen if i use sata to pcie and power the xfx rx 570 excluding the 2nd psu and using only the pcie extender

and what if i use a rx 560 instead of a rx 570

i wouldnt use a sata to PCI-E adapter personally. Its always best to use a proper cable  

[Ben17]

its fairly easy to do that psu hack btw. I've had to do it a few times with a old PSU for technolgy projects

Depends on the SFF-PSU inside, but I guess it isn't capable to provide enough juice.

240w

[Sir0Tek]

And the 12V-strain, how much does it provide?

what will happen if i use molex to 8-pin to power rx570 using oem hp psu fit in the sff

[Sir0Tek]

Usually the PSU does provide information on how much amps it can (safely) provide on the different voltage levels, like for example 5V-15A, 3.3V 15A, 12V 10A and so on. The rx 570 will need at least 12.5A just for itself, so everything sub 15A is likely to fail - for the graphics card only. Now you need to power the computer itself, which will also need a few amps to run, let's suggest 5A. So, that little PSU would need to provide all of its 240W to 12V=20A.

Additionally the system may exceed the needed draw initially to power on.

Thanks everybody for their answers , I really appreciate  it  ,

I have got one more question can i change my normal 6pin atx 240w hp psu and install a standdard 24 pin 400w psu using

this:
