Have questions about your motherboard?
I have an HP Prodesk 600 G1 SFF and I'm checking the motherboard dimensions for MicroATX compatibility. I need to replace the board and CPU to upgrade my CPU and graphics card, so understanding the size is important. PC Page Link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03846648
It seems to be a microATX build, though there are some hurdles to overcome:
- The power supply is of poor quality and proprietary for these systems. Running a high-power graphics card will likely not fit the case.
- To use the same PSU, you'd have to solder a connector since standard motherboards won't fit.
- With the same case, your GPU choices are limited because the expansion slots are only half-height.
I’d suggest either constructing a new setup or upgrading the CPU while retaining the motherboard—those options can support an i7 4770, which should work well with most half-height graphics cards available.
Thanks for the response. I could develop a system by incorporating some of the older components.
