Upgrading ASUS ROG G20AJ Graphics Card

[computerdude444]

Howdy,

I'm attempting to upgrade my ASUS ROG G20AJ computer from a GTX 760 to a 1080, after doing some research I'm a little confused of if this is actually a feasible thing or not. Below I've listed out the specs for my computer, can someone give me some insight on whether this is possible?

Computer Specs (Copied straight from the website) :
Intel® Core™ i7 4790 Processor
NVIDIA® GeForce GTX760 2GB
Intel® H97
Windows 10
230 W Power adaptor(?)

In respects to the Power Supply, I'm honestly not quite sure if I have the 230 W or the 230 W + 180 W extension version of comp., it wouldn't be an issue to get one if I needed to get one.

If I'm missing any critical information as well I'll feel free to add it,

Thank you.

From the photos online it looks like space is very limited in that case, you would need a bigger PSU as well i reckon. 😀


cheers,

You will need the extra 180W power supply. This guy in the video has done all the work for you, which is always nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNXwfOpvZLQ

TWO THINGS.
1. You need a card that vents out the back, reference card style. If you get one that blows the air straight down over the card, you're gonna have a bad time with temperatures in the case.
2. See that row of Jumpers below the one he tells you to move? You need to move all of them up, so that they're on pins 1+2 instead of 2+3.
