Question Asus PH-RX550-4G-EVO GDDR5 GPU for a Dell 3681 ?

[Another_User_404]

I have pre-built Dell 3681 with below mentioned specifications:

Processor: i3-10100
Ram: 1) 1x 4GB ddr4 3200mhz ram
2) 1x 8GB ddr4 3200mhz ram
Storage: 1x 3.5" SATA SSD
Socket: LGA 1200
200w PSU


I bought an Asus PH-RX550-4G-EVO GDDR5 and as of Dell tech supports have said that it can support
(https://www.dell.com/support/manual...ae7f9d-e4e2-4b18-ace2-3ec06be881e1&lang=en-us)

As discussed with tech support, they said only GT730 with unto 2Gb can fit. Although as per my research there is not much difference in GT 730 2Gb power usage and RX 550.

So considering the 65W usage of RX 550 should I plug it into my Dell 3681 with a 200W PSU???

The GPU will not work with your prebuilt, since the GPU is not half height. The case will only accept half height discrete GPU's.

In case you're confused;

is the sort of card you'd need, whereby the PCB is half height + the rear expansion slot can be adapted to be half height as well.
