2060 RTX ITX or 2060 RTX FE?

[nara]

Hello, I was thinking about to change my 970 GTX from my X51 R3 to 2060 RTX... but I´m not sure if I should pick 2060 RTX ITX or 2060 RTX FE... Did someone try 2060 RTX ITX models? ITX models are so cool and smaller.

This one for exemple: https://www.amazon.es/Gigabyte-GeForce-RTX-2060-Mini/dp/B07MQ9CLMQ

No one?...

The FE cards are a better choice as the blower style cards push the air out the back of the case instead of keeping it inside. I have a 1060 ITX single fan card and it definitely works harder now that the air isn't getting pushed out.

Oh ok I see... Thank you so much ^_^

Definitely I will try this one then: https://www.amazon.es/ASUS-TURBO-RTX2060-6G-Tarjeta-gráfica-GeForce/dp/B07MJKTS4P

Because some people told me about they would "nerf" a bit the 2070 RTX to 80% of power consumption cuz of shut downs when stress it to much...

 

[MattyB]

Yeah that one will work.

You just have to make sure that it will fit in your chassis. It looks to be 10.54 inches. You may need to remove the front fan to fit the card.

hmmmmmm is it hard to remove the front fan? so... is it really needed the front fan? If I remove it... it shouldnt make me some trouble right? More watts to my GPU

 

[MattyB]

I've never removed mine but I wouldn't imagine it's very difficult. I'm not sure if you'll have to cut out anything inside of the machine. It is the only fan directly drawing air into the chassis but your GPU fan will take over this so you should get enough air coming in.
There is a long thread here with people talking about installing a 2070 in the X51. I would have a read through that one.

Hi guys if u have a chance to answer, will
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Founders Edition 6 GB fit into X51 R2 case with no changes to it ? Thank you

 

[MattyB]

The length should only be 9 inches so it should fit fine.

thanks
