xendrome Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 What did you buy? A 3010 Small Form Factor? I doubt the GTX 650 will fit in there as that system requires a low profile card, and the power supply is proprietary and will not have 6 pin connectors required for that card, plus those power supplies max out at about 120watts I believe?

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 3, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2019 ^ What he said. And also, are you sure you got the correct RAM? Those SFF motherboards normally have 1 or 2 memory slots and some use laptop RAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I bought a dell optiplex 3010. It’s not a suffer but a desktop. It’s body is smaller than the 3010 tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted October 4, 2019 Global Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2019 Must be a sale going on with these 3010s. If you have anything but the 3010 tower ... you're sorta outta luck. The desktop and SFF version only provides 50W at the PCIe ... and it has proprietary power supply (meaning it isn't any standard size you can swap). You can see this thread here ...

No, mine is at 250. But I upgraded it to 300w. Since it’s the highest available for the pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the stuff, besides your SSD/HDD, is likely soldered on... Any of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Supervisor Posted October 7, 2019 Supervisor Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hello, From looking at this manual for your system, it appears you should be able to fit a half-height/low-profile video card that does not use supplemental power (e.g., has a 75 Watt power draw) like an AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 or an NVidia GT1650 low-profile video card from Gigabyte, MSI , Zotac or similar video card manufacturer.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 7, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2019 To add to Goretsky. It uses a proprietary PSU. Has only a 250W. Probably a mini-itx PSU. Also, it can only use DDR3 1333 & 1600MHz up to 8GB. (2x 4GB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
