Installing a RTX 2060 FE in a X51 R1 ?

[LuPa]

Hello,

All specs are good(dimensions and power) to fit in without any modifications except to have a 6 pin to 8 pin cable but only the recommanded system alimentation don't match (500W) but i have the PSU 330W and a GTX 960(400W)

so why they used recommanded system alimentation ? in fact it's not relevant .!?

Someone have this installation ?

The 2060 draws 160W at max compared to 120W on the 960. You may end up with random system crashes with the 2060 but people seemed to have the 2070 working which draws 185W so it could work fine. I think the 2060 is only a 9" card so the length isn't a problem.
