Need Sizing Help GTX 1060 single fan

[ventrini]

Hey everyone,

I am looking to buy a gtx 1060 and was wondering if it will fit into my pre-built Lenovo Erazer x315 case. Will it fit or do I need to buy a new tower? Any responses will help.

Thanks.

Should fit , but does the PSU have the PCIE connection for the card.

Judging by the pictures I found online it looks like your single fan 1060 will fit with no problems. It looks like it could take a larger card, too.

Hmm I'm not quite sure. Gonna Have to do some investigating.

The card should fit physically if you had an Radeon R9 260 before on the X315 model.

The PSU in that PC has a 450 watt PSU with two 6-pin connectors so you'll have the 6pin connectors you need.

Side note: nVIDIA recommends a 450 watt PSU minimum for a typical PC with a GTX 1060. The card should run on this PSU although as it's an older unit it may be taxing for it to run this newer card. In addition to that, the motherboard uses a proprietary 14-pin main power connector so a simple PSU upgrade or replacement in the event of failing is not possible without sourcing some kind of adapter for it. I personally would be unconformable loading an older OEM power supply that much.

I haven't used one of these, but if the op were to get a new PSU, perhaps this would solve the atx adapter plug problem?

I think that seller is away, but surely another is available online.

See this thread from a Lenovo forum for more details.

It uses a 14 pin P1 power connection instead of the 24 pin ATX standard one. Something like this should work:
