MXM card for All in One pc

helpmeplspls · January 20, 2022

I was able to pick up an old All in One HP system for free. It has an MXM card slot, I was wondering if is it worth it to buy an MXM card to play a few games on it.

Its a HP ProOne 600 G1 - psu 180w-8gb ram ddr3-i5 4570S-120gb ssd

Idea wise I see what your point. Does come with a cooler for the GPU? You'll need a cooler for the card.. Also looking at the specs for the ProOne 600 G1, I have found that it only supports up to 35W for the MXM-A 3.0 slot. Here is a list of GPU's: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?interface=MXM-A (3.0)&sort=name

Yeah it has a cooler right over the slot that is hanging in there, but only has 1 pipe, the cpu one has 2

some workstation laptop have a whitelist component especially gpu.

so even you can buy one, you probably wont be able to install it.

You are better of selling it as hp has basically locked this device down to only accept a couple hd 7000 series gpu's (the ones it came with) and that is it. Even if you could put in a better one it won't fit because the heatsink would need to be different.

So pretty much not happening here. You are better of just selling it and getting a simple full tower desktop + gpu from ebay with similar specs (tip don't get a old i5 quad core those really don't game well anymore go for a second gen or newer i7 system also make sure they accept normal psus).
