You're correct, the power supply is 180W, and even that capacity is already taken up by the motherboard and drives (no spare capacity). Also, it does not provide any spare cables for separate power to a graphics card. You can add a graphics card, but only if it takes power solely from the PCIe x16 connections. Hence something like a Radeon RX 550 2GB should be feasible; this is a low-power card that runs entirely off the power available on the PCIe connector. The PCIe power is accounted for in the 180W power budget. This system cannot operate high-end graphics cards that require supplemental power cables. The power supply is an HP proprietary format, not any standard ATX variety, so there are no ready methods to upgrade the power supply with an aftermarket item.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just to confirm, this does have the 180W PS.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had similar question, as this unit was one of the cheapest pre-built I7 during the black friday sale. This link help me: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/i-need-a-gpu-that-can-handle-180w-psu.3049355/ Like the previous answer, a higher capacity power supply is needed for a dedicated GPU. Otherwise, I'm guessing the computer will run hotter and louder.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can add a graphics card. You would just need to upgrade the power supply.
