H61 boards only came with a single pci-e for graphics. You needed a more expensive p67 to get dual slots.

H61 chipset is very limited.
It can have only single x16 slot.

Last thing will a xeon pc psu that doesn't fit in my pc be good enough to test psu issues? I’ll upgrade accordingly to the problem. I have a new 525W default dell psu lying around

If that CPU does not fit in the laptop, you can't test anything with it.

I have no idea what you mean by this.

I think he means he wants to test his pc using that psu.

It looks to have normal atx connectors but it is a proprietary form factor so it won't fit in the case.

I think "Xeon PC PSU" was the confusing part.

Ah....I glommed on to the "xeon".

If and only if it has the actual proper connections. No "adapters".

I had a dell server board and PSU that used a 24 pin that was not standard pinout. Watch out for that.
