Hello, I’m currently running a x51 r2 (mini itx pc). I’m currently running.
I7 4790
1600 2x8gb ram
1060 gtx 3GB
500gb Samsung Evo 860 SSD
1Tb HDD
330w outside power supply
I read people successfully putting a 1080 Funder card inside the case and it works. I was thinking doing the same. However, I’m aware that type of card tends to get more hot. So my concern is how I can cool off the gpu and possibly the system.
One of my ideas is to use a PSU to separate power and I couldn’t have that problem. Using the space of the optical drive to put something to cool it off. However, I saw a video where someone was able to do it with a 680. Then he switch to a Titan gpu, he just fried it (4years ago).
I seen people cutting the case and putting fans. It seems a bit risky to ruin the case.
My current ideas to improve it a little might be to put some kind of outside fan. Any recommendations?
Since gtx 1080 seems to be the best card with current case. I was thinking on using an eGPU (graphics amplifier). Problem here is that I don’t think I have a thunderbolt on pc. I think it can be connected to usb 3.0. Putting a 1080ti, I think could be like having a dual 1080?
As an extra thing, I seen a system on sale with a water cooling (Corsair h5 sf). However, this goes with my power problem.
I know it could be much easier to buy and build a new system. I guess it’s sentimental value and like my friend said, “I like to polish turd”
