I bought this card and my Lenovo H430 isnt compatible any idea why. i changed the power supply to meet the demand but it just wont work.Any idea?

It's possible the motherboard just simply doesn't can't route enough power to it. I had the same issue with my Dell Vostro. I eventually had to get a power supply with an auxiliary port so that it could connect directly to the card rather power it through the mobo.

Check your power supply, I run this gpu on a mobo asrock m68s-ucc (old mobo) and works perfect... try to clean the slot with air, and check the power supply thing.

I replaced an Atheros AR5B95-H from an HP DV6, and it was plug-n-play. As long as your old card is a mini PCI-e, it should be fine.

I can't be certain that it is but it is very uncommon (given that your HP has a PCI-E slot) that this sort of expansion card would be a problem. Just be sure you have an empty PCI-E X8 slot on your motherboard.

I am not sure about the power supply/ computer you have. I have used this card in two different hp computer with the standard power supply with no problems. It'sa great card to replace standard graphics on the mobo. I would consider a more expensive card if you are a gamer.

Works in the PCI Express 2.0 slot in my HP Pavilion's motherboard. Yes, it is backwards compatible

This isn't really the place for troubleshooting, but check your motherboard -- if it is purpose built for SLI it may not handle other types of cards in both slots at the same time. Alternatively it may require additional config in the BIOS to recognize the cards as not bring graphics cards. Both of these possibilities are specific to lower end / consumer / workstation boards -- if yours is specifically a server board there may be another issue going on. Either way unless the cards are both DOA (unlikely) its probably a motherboard issue -- try contacting that manufacturer for support if you aren't able to resolve it with their manuals.

Yes, but be very careful to match the SODIMM that's installed. I thought I could pick up a Kingston ValueRam 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 (which matches the specs in Lenovo's own datasheet) and slap it in there, but it wouldn't work. I ended up buying a Hynix 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz to match exactly what was pre-installed. I didn't expect it to be that fussy.

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design.Please let me know if you have further questions.

From the quick search of your motherboard:Your board supports PCI-eThe card is PCI-e 3.0Generally devices are backwards comparable but you will experience slower bus speeds.I am not sure if you have 3.0 or not, but the card should work regardless.The only downfall I dislike about this specific card is it says it supports SLI, but does NOT actually have the ports.So it supports it, just cant use it? Thats silly to me.

Greetings,You will want to check with HP to see if they have locked out the use of generic Mini PCI-E adapters (this is quite common).Best regards,MITXPC

Sorry for the basic question but did you plug in the molex power? It will not work correctly without additional power. If you have another pcie slot to try then do that. Mine is okay

Make sure you use a PCI E x16 slot when you install this card. Any slot not a x16 will cause the card to run as a second output with the onboard being the main. Other solutions I can think of are using the latest drivers, and flashing your motherboards BIOS. I had to flash the BIOS on my HP to get it to even let me use the card.

You better upgrade your power supply at least to 400 watt. Check the power requirements of this card.

Be careful with Lenovo. Even if it's a supported Intel card, if you don't purchase it directly from Lenovo, it won't boot. They serialize their cards.

The card isn't powerful enough. You'll have to go a lot more high-end for a card that supports more than two simultaneous outputs. Look for a Quadro.

You should return it! Mine worked right out of the box. Make sure you have it in the right port. Try one of the other E ports. It may depend on your motherboard, some of the older ones don't work well with these type of cards... good luck.

Not sure if it's HP compatible (I googled to make sure it was compatible with my Dell and think I found on the Dell website this was a compatible card) - the description does say not HP compatible, but wouldn't know why. It does pick up 5ghz, though.
