[SOLVED] Will RX570 fit in a Dell optiplex 790 mini tower

[Pow3rSl1d3]

I'm planning to get a Dell Optiplex 790 MT and i'm wondering if an RX570 will fit.I will upgrade the psu as well.
The exact model of the card is the ASUS EX-570-4G

The card is 9.4" long. Open your case and measure from the expansion slot cover to the drive cage. See if it fits. Next check to see if the card will cover any SATA ports (probably yes) or other connections.

Yes it should fit but the PSU probably will be a problem. Usually those dells have low watt PSU (under 300 watts) and they are usually of bad quality.


I'm sure you can replace the PSU but not sure if it is a standard ATX or SFX sized power supply. I would recommend 400 watts at least.

I'm not sure how much you are about to spend on the Dell but unless its a really good deal those older business class prebuilts are usually more trouble then they are worth.

Dell did not provide "bad" PSUs with their Optiplex 790 MTs. Generally, they are even under-rated. But yes, the OP will need a PSU ugrade to use a RX 570.

@ OP
I am on an Optiplex MT now. A bit newer than yours, but basically the same. I replaced the PSU with a used Antec 500W Earthwatts PSU and added a GTX 1070 mini. Also used. I had to go with a mini to keep from covering up the SATA ports. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any mini RX 570s.
