Question Advice for GPU and Motherboard

[Cassie_rxx]

Hi,


I am looking to Upgrade my Graphics Card, I currently have a Zotac GTX 1060 Mini and I'm going to be upgrading to a EVGA GeForce RTX 2070

However, I'm unsure as to if this card will fit with my motherboard or not.

The motherboard that I currently have is the Gigabyte H110M-S2H Micro ATX Motherboard

My PSU is the Cooler Master 600W ATX Power Supply MasterWatt Lite which has 2 x PCI-E 6+2-pin
and the RTX 2070 takes one 6-pin and one 8-pin power cable, so am I correct in being able to connect the 6+2 pin to fit the 8 pin slot, and then just connecting the 6 pin to the 6 slot of the graphics card.

I have checked the space in my case and I have more than enough room so that wouldn't be an issue, just confused on if I need to have a Mini Graphics card since my motherboard is a Micro ATX, or if this normal size RTX 2070 will fit.

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!

Ma

YES. That will work. There are no separate 8-PIN PCI-E/PEG connectors. Kindly change/upgrade your PSU as well, if possible. That's not a very good PSU, a very low-end unit. What's the size of your current ATX cabinet ? If it lacks enough room, then you need to look for some MINI GPU variants, of the RTX 2070.

Some of the RTX 2070 Models are pretty huge in length as well:

Very pleased to hear this!

I'm glad you also mentioned about the PSU since I was looking to upgrade it aswell, do you know of any top end ones you would be able to recommend.

The size is (D) 370 x (W) 180 x (H) 410mm

The GPU Max Length it supports is 370mm and the EVGA RTX 2070 is 269.83 mm so no issues there

My budget would be around £200 and I'm from the UK, would you say 650w is enough or would I need a higher watt PSU

Would this be any good?

EVGA 750 Watt GQ 80+ Gold Hybrid Modular ATX PSU/Power Supply

It's priced at £94 and looks to be a good upgrade

YUP, that's a very good PSU. You can buy this model. No worries here. Also, 650 Watts high quality PSU would be enough for an RTX 2070 system, since Nvidia recommends a min 550 Watts PSU.

QUALITY of the PSU is more important, than Wattage number alone.

That's perfect, thank you so much!

I would have gone for the Seasonic focus Plus GOLD instead.
