Question GTX 1060 Underclock etc.

[JustMeem]

So... as general Forums dont provide good answers i registered here, just for... this... one Answer.

My Problem is i got a not swappable 250w Psu and i got a 100€ Budget for used Gpus (ebay etc)

In this Budget range i can get a GTX 1050ti Strix 4gb OR i get a GTX 1060 for the same price. But because of the 250w Psu i would need to Underclock/Undervolt or set Powertargets to get the GTX 1060 to run in my Pc.

To make it clear: Im totally fine for sacrificing some Performance, but it should be in the middle of a 1050ti and 1060 or higher. I am not really willing to do Lifetime killer steps tho. But still provide any usefull answers/Information if you want.

(Also had the idea of just buying a picopsu to supply it or anything, cause the atx psu behind my case wouldnt look that good nor be really safe i think)

What's the make and MODEL number of that 250 Watts PSU ? That's pretty low.

Also i saw other People use a 79% Power Target at a GTX 1070 and get -30W
The 1060 id buy is 120w and Peaks to around 150 - 155

Ouch...That's a poor quality generic PSU, in my opinion. NOT recommend for gaming PCs. I wouldn't risk using this unit to power the GTX 1050 Ti/GTX 1060, or any other GPU for that matter. Please grab yourself a quality PSU, even though if this chinese power supply might work.

Are there even any PCI-e connectors on this model ?

Does this unit even has any PCI-e connectors ?

With a adapter (2 Sata to 1 6Pin) yes. The really really bad part is the Mainboard plug.... I just cant change the psu ... It has (together with the Mainboard) a 14Pin Individually designed Slot and no 24 atx . Also the Psu is 12v only.... I dont rly have the Money to buy a new Pc either. :/

If i would ever find a way to workaround that poor psu id do it immediately.
Let me know if you find something, that would really be helpfull.

Also i found this
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750-20.html

I had one in this Pc once and even OCd it by ... meh some 150mhz maybe but no voltage .

It peaks to 137w... The GTX 1060 does too... so it shouldnt be a Problem then? ^^'
