HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini PC Discrete Graphics Upgrade

It is a nice surprise when you have something and realize you can expand the product's functionality.

Such is the case with my HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini PC, which I purchased a few years ago. I was looking through my YouTube feed and found a video about an AMD Radeon RX560 discrete graphics card with 4 GB of RAM. Yes, I never downloaded and read the manual when I purchased this PC, at which point I would have known this two years ago.

Again, surprises are nice. So I purchased a card and double-checked my power supply to meet the requirements. Yeah, it's a 135 Watt Power SUpply! (On the safe side, I purchased a 150-Watt power supply when pegging over 130 watts during testing.)

If you have this mini pc or are considering purchasing one, I hope you find this an informative video.
