X51 upgrade concerns!

[RyanHooli]

Hello, I have a standard X51 with a 330wPSU. I would like to know if I could upgrade to a EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB. If it is possible to not change anything else that would be great. Also, I have been watching http://www.youtube.com/user/Ray2kay6?feature=watch video's. He has done some amazing things. Also, I want to know if a GTX Titan fits into an X51 because i'd like to have that. If I do get the Titan would I need anymore cooling or anything like that? Thanks

I am pretty sure that someone around here fit in there the GTX 670 FTW with the stock 330w PSU. Don't know about the Titan tho.

670 will work just fine, the titan will not. Too much power needed, not enough cooling or space for it.

Stick with the 670

I put a EVGA Nvidia GTX 670FTW in my X51 and it works just fine.

I will be answering your question today on my YouTube channel by placing a GTX titan in my Alienware x51.

i have tried 2 cards 670 FTW 3GB and 660Ti 4GB both cause the system to reboot when settings are at max

Maybe you have an underlying issue somewhere.

When my x51 was stock and I just had the 670ftw, I didn't have any other PSU except the 330w brick. My x51 now is torn apart pending a full mobo, PSU, & unlocked cpu upgrade. I stopped the project for now to build my current rig, but will go back to it eventually.

Note more memory requires more power. You can use an APP like hwmonitor to see what your power draw. Or easier still use a "wattsup" device between your X51 and the wall to see how much power you are drawing when reboots occur.
