[SOLVED] Dell Precision T3600 motherboard able to run 1060 with 6 pin?

[brysenmckinney]

I am going to buy an i7 4820k and a Dell Precision t3600 motherboard for the processor. Can you guys please let me know if the processor will work with the motherboard and if the motherboard and 500 watt PSU will power the 1060? https://www.amazon.com/MNPJ9-Dell-Precision-Motherboard-System/dp/B014VUEEAG link to motherboard

This spec sheet -- https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/precn/en/Dell-Precision-T3600-Spec-Sheet.pdf Says the motherboard needs a Xeon E5 CPU. It has the C600 chipset which is a Xeon chipset. The i7-4820K requires an X79 chipset. I don't find any obvious success using that CPU in that motherboard. The one thing I did find is that there are non-standard fan connectors on that motherboard. You may have to get adapter cables to use standard 3-4 pin fans.

I agree with the above. The T3600 is a little strange for a single CPU workstation. It uses Xeons only and RDIMM memory also. The PSU is proprietary so you're kind of stuck with what's there. There may have been 2 GPU versions sold with bigger PSUs.
Here are the builds for that at userbenchmark.com Just pick a CPU from there based on performance ranking.

The 1060 shouldn't be a problem I've run them off of Dell 375W PSUs.
Dell uses high powered industrial "server" fans. Most aftermarket parts would be a downgrade.
