Thanks a lot Welsh Whoopee, your tutorials are really useful, especially nowadays, now that the GPU prices are dropping. I will try to upgrade my ROG G20AJ from the GTX 970 FE to the Asus RTX 2070 Super turbo (blower type). A bit tight regarding the TDP (215w required for a 230w psu), but I've read on the Asus forums that you can go up til RTX 2080 on the AJ... Finger crossed. Thanks again, I'll follow your video step by step.
Hello, sorry for delay. well the second power brick can handle about 150-160watts of power, but that will only draw that much if your running the graphics at full 100% power. just depends on the game and game settings on graphics, most times its best to keep it around the 50%, more power just = more heat. but let me know if you still need help
Thank you so much for your videos. Just wanting to tinker with my old PC. Can my G20AJ that didn’t come with the 2nd power brick upgrade from the original GTX750 to an AMD RX580 8GB without needing the 2nd power brick ? Having a hard time finding one, if you could recommend a current link to one that would be great.
Great video! My laptop died so I figured I would upgrade my desktop. I have the Asus ROG G20AJ-B09. What video graphics card do you recommend in 2024 that would fit this tower? I am planning on upgrading to a 2 TB ssd as well.
@@welshwhoopee Thank you so much for getting back to me 🙏 Would any RTX 20 work, even the most powerfull/high end? Would you recommend any specific card? Thanks! 🙏❤️
well you got the AJ model, so max cpu is the i7-4790k, but with only 1 power brick then your limited to the lower tier which don't have any power to the gpu, if you can buy a second power brick cheap then your more open to much batter cards.
Hello nice video! I have a question, I have asus g20 aj with i5 4460 and gtx 960 2gb, upgraded the ram to 16 gb from 8 gb a few years ago. I have been running the GPU and CPU since I bought the PC like eight years ago or something and I really need an upgrade of components, what would you recommend? Sould I only upgrade the gpu or cpu or both, I know upgrading both may be there best option, but which one would you upgrade if you had to choose one XD? I have read some comments and I can say that I have the bigger original powerbrick that has 2 powerbricks attached to each other. Thanks in advance!
Hello @welshwhoopee seems like u know a lot about them rigs. I am a computer-noob but have an G20 since 2016 with an i7 - 6700 @ 3,4Ghz, 16GB Ram and a NVidia GTX 980. It has 2 Power Bricks. What GPU-Upgrade would you recommend based on those specs? Thank u very much!
Hello, yeah I brought a few of these and work really on them and course help a lot of people over the year. your best gpu on that cpu is around the rtx 2000 series like the RTX2060/2070, mainly due to the bottleneck to your cpu. but if you upgrade your cpu then you could easy handle a card from the RTX 3000 series, like RTX3060/3070. the only issue is just which card and will it fit, the card itself has to be small then the founders edition/refence card and not to wide, as then 3000 and 4000 are 2/3 pcie solts wide, but send me a link to a card and I can help you or your budget.
So im upgrading my G20aj from an i5+gtx 950 to an i7 4790 (non-k) +gtx 1080. I dont know which gpu pins ill need to make this work. I know the 1080 itself has 1 8 pin connection. What im not sure of is what Pins i need from the Mobo side of things. Any advice? Thanks in advance
Hi, I was thinking about upgrading from my gtx 970 on my Rog G20 to a rtx A2000 (6gb) because of the low power consumption of this graphics card. I know it is not meant for gaming but it is definitely an upgrade from what I currently have. Now, I just read that a rtx 3060ti can be placed in and work with no issues. Is this really true? For what I heard it has to be a blower style kind of card. Thanks in advance, there is almost nowhere to find help on this topic. 🙏🏻
Hello, for the topic of the blower style card, it does help your PC but only if you have putting a lot of power and causing high temps from the GPU, then its better to push the heat out of your case rather then having it keep in the case and rise to the CPU. yes the new cards seems o.k so far, and as for gaming I have seen Linus Tech Tips doing some bench marks with them and their can plays then ok, Which model Asus Rog G20 do you have?
Thanks for the video! I just have found and bought a cheap g20 with 1070 and i7 7700 and I want to upgrade gpu after I got it. Do you know the GPU dimension limits? Thanks
Hello, yes the biggest card that will fit is the "Founders Edition" and that size is..... Height: 4.4" / 111.5 mm Length: 10.5" / 266.7 mm a lot of people on the asus forums have fitted up to a RTX 3060 TI into the system, so keep within them sizes above and your be fine and only dual slot size.
@Welsh Whoopee thank you. I was thinking to get a radeon rx 6750 XT or 3070 Ti FE, dimensions are same, 267mm x 111 mm, so it will probably be fine. Do you have any suggestions for power brick? I have seen people talking about Dell 330W or a 280W brick but I'm not sure about which one. I actually dont know if its matter to have a specific one. Can I just get a random 280W or 330W from any manufacturer?
yeah both cards are fine, yeah I heard people have used the dell 330w power brick, but it would be worth buying that one due to the high power draw it will happen. well I just got this from the asus forums dell p/n Y90RR ref mo. adp-330ab model da330pm111 and when I check amazon, I got this item www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-AC-Adaptor-330W-Y90RR/dp/B00CTHK9IU their are also selling on ebay at the same price hope this helps
Hello Welsh Whoopee, I am upgrading my gtx 970 and i have a g20cb. would a 3060ti work and i have the 230 + 180 power brick. do you know the best graphics card that would work if the 3060ti wont? Thanks for your help and nice vid!
Hello, depends on your CPU. I guess you have the i7 6700? the best one that will fit is the "rtx 3060 ti founders edition" as its a dual slot card, not sure if this card will bottle neck on your CPU as I have personally not tested them both out at the same time.
Hey, I have been considering upgrading my rog g20aj. The only thing holding me back is what should I consider and how to choose a graphic card that is compatible with the pc.
Hello, I always ask 2 good start questions, do you have 1 or 2 power bricks? and do you have a budget? because second question is pretty much link to first question as if you only have 1 power brick, then you will have to factor that cost in or unless the games your playing is not AAA titles etc.....
Whats the best GPU i can put in there? Ive been using a 1080 for years now and im thinking of going up to a 20 series i just really want to make sure it'll work before spending the money. I obviously already have the power supply. Dont think a 30 series would work and even if it does it would probably be bottlenecked. I know its an outdated computer but mine runs just fine and im thinking of using it as a dedicated gaming pc toll it dies.
Hello, what model and cpu are you running? if your on the old Aj and have the 4790 then the 3000 will only give you cpu bottleneck, if you have the 6700 cpu then you should be ok with a 3000 series, but be careful as most of these cards are really wide, there started to take 2/3 pcie solts and will no way fit into this pc. so trying to stick to the founders edition/refence if your best bet
where can i get and what is this second power brick called? also i have a G20AJ with i5 44?? with gtx 750 wanting to put in a sigle 8 pin 1660 super 8gb
Hello, sorry for delay. you can buy them off ebay cheap enough. just search for "asus rog g20 power" also search for a cheap "I7 4790" if you can get it cheap enough then its a great cpu for that system
Hello Welsh, do you think it is possible also to change the case and install the motherboard on a new one so it's better to have a good ventilation if you are willing to install a 3060ti?
I wouldn't transfer it to another case as it won't fit, either transfer some of the parts like CPU and hdd's etc... to a new case, or sell it and make your PC from scratch. just depends what you want to do with the new pc etc..... where are you from anyway in the world and what do you mean willing to install a gpu?
hello i have a rog g20cb with the gtx960 2 gb , can i change it to the msi gtx 1660 super aero itx? i think it should fit because the gtx 1660 super have a small dimension😊
Hello, does your pc have the 2 power bricks? Yeah your fine with that card, any issues or help with install, give me a shout and I can guide you all the way ☺️
hello welsh i want to upgrade my graphics card to the best one i can fit in my rog g20 i think its the aj what would you recomend to ugrade it to i looked at a asus gtx 1660 super but it says it need 450w i only have one bif power brick
Hello, depends if you have 1 or 2 power bricks, if you only have 1 then stick to the model that doesnt need extra power but works through the pcie line
Hi, I have a Asus g20Aj and I am upgrading my GPU to a EVGA GTX 960 4gb GPU. The GPU supports 8-pin power cable while my motherboard has a 8 pin and a 6-pin slot available. MY question is, do I need to install a male 8-pin from my GPU into a splitter male 8-pin + 6-pin? Or will a male 8-pin to male 8-pin be enough for my GPU to work?
hello, yes simple answer is that only use the 8pin to 8pin is fine, anything else or any issues just give me a shout and I can guide you the rest of the way.
@@welshwhoopee is there anything that I need to do on the board to ensure that I am enable the 230w power supply? Such as turning on a switch or anything?
you can do the JDC01 but to be honest I would just plug power packs in and leave the side case off and just check if the fans on the graphics card spin, if it does then your good to go and put back on case and game :)
hey mate. amazing video! I would appreciate if u may answer me. I am planing get same gpu for upgrade. Did it work well without chanhing psu? Won't i need to upgrade the psu? Thanks in advance
Hello, depends what gpu your upgrading to, some don't need the second power brick and you can get away with using just 1 power brick. what is specs of the pc now?
@@welshwhoopee well, i got 2 gb gpu on it. There is one psu out of the case which has two power cable connected to pc. (I guess one is for the gpu). Sorry, i do not have mu ch knowledge about these:/
please help me - tell me what the jumpers are responsible for, I can't figure it out and connect an additional 180W power supply, I already understood that a 230W power supply can power two connectors 6 and 8, but if the video card consumes more than about 150W, the computer turns on, you can also probably switch it with a jumper so that the second power supply is used to power connectors 6 and 8 at 180 - right? how to do it ? my new card is gtx 980
@@welshwhoopee I already figured everything out myself. One lone jumper enables or disables auxiliary power (6+8). The remaining five jumpers in a row switches from where the video card will take energy 6 + 8 - either from the main unit 230 or from an additional 180. Excellent power supply flexibility - thanks to asus engineers. Personally, I bought a dell slim cylinder for a 240w power supply and it alone feeds the entire system - now it's a gtx 1070, but soon I will switch to 1080ti. I really, really like pascal - it can be super undervolted. I plan to undervolt 1080ti to 120w tdp. It's just incredible - no heat, no noise, and only a relatively small loss of fps. And more reliability-life of the video card.
@@welshwhoopee Please help me !!! - I really need photos and dimensions of a plastic clip - which keeps the video card from sagging in a metal bracket. I want to 3D print this clip - but I have absolutely no data about it. And I asked in several places - no one responds
Your upgrade tutorials have been amazing...however I wanted to asking something about the JC11 bit. I removed the cap, then accidentally lost it when I dropped it on the ground. No idea where it went. Would that prevent the graphics card from installing correctly?
@@welshwhoopee Its the black piece that you moved one pin ( the part with JC11). When I tried to move it over myself, I accidentally dropped it and now I can't find it.
yeah I know what you mean, it will bridge 2 pins together, if I am right you need a new "Header Jumper Cap" which you can find on ebay for next to nothing. either buy one online or if you have a local computer shop around, ask if their have 1 to sell from a old pc motherboard, their should be plenty around.
Now you used the evga gtx 980. Is there a real big difference between that and the evga gtx 980 ti? Will the evga gtx 980 ti also work with this PC? From what I've been looking at online, they both look pretty much the exact same in appearance and size. So I don't see why it wouldn't.
@@welshwhoopee I was thinking either the EVGA GTX 980 Ti or the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti. The reason why I asked if there was a difference between the EVGA GTX 980 and the EVGA GTX 980 Ti is because the regular EVGA GTX 980s for some reason are really hard to find. Because it's smaller than the EVGA GTX 980, I'll probably go with the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti. But thank you for the reply.
yeah that's true, the best card to try and find is the founders edition card, then it just comes down to finding a bargain card on ebay. because some 10 series or 11 series card could be as cheap as the old GTX 9 series cards and be as good or better
Thanks a lot welsh, now i just bought a RTX 3070 Inno3d and 330W Powerbrick , but when i tried to running it, it wont turn on the GPU, what do i do wrong ? btw mine is G20CI
Hello, do you get any display on start-up, I found some people which had this issue is either the pin inside hasn't been moved over on the JC01 pin or the riser card which is on the pcie of the graphics card is not flat and going into the slot on the motherboard. does that make sense, it does when I write it lol
@@welshwhoopee i thought the power supply is the problem , it is the 3070 that i bought is broken , i just repair it and it work like butter with original adapter , fyi motherboard cant handle more than 280w
Hello I have an g20 with an gtx1080 will an Asus rtx 2080 ti turbo fit in it I'm aware I have to buy a new power brick will it work thank you for any help

Hi, i recently got a 1660 ti for christmas as a gift to replace my gtx 750. However, when i opened the case and tried to put in the 1660 ti, it wouldnt fit! I saw the dimension restraints of the card and my card is around 3 mm too tall so it wont fit in the case. Would there be any way to fix this or it is impossible to use this gpu.
I do realize the possibility that i couldve inserted the card wrong into the holder but i tried to fit the gpu into the case raw, and it still didnt fit. So i think this will be impossible to use.
Hello, you don't really need the case to put the gpu in. if you install and its too wide then you will need to replace the card, if your getting a new card and you want a 100% fit, then go for a founders edition/refence card. sorry for delay
Thank you for the replay, i finally put away enough money to upgrade and i will take your recommendation and look for a 2060 or 2070, however i can't find "founder edition"i found on Amazon a 2060 from Asus brand...would that be ok? And i heard i need cables 6 and 6+8 pin, are those cables inside the g20aj?
@@welshwhoopee hello, I hope your doing well, I currently have a g20aj with a gtx 970 and I bought an Rtx 2060 to try to upgrade but I can’t seem to fit it in the house holder, any suggestions that might help?
I'm going to try a gtx 1080 ti turbo because someone mentioned it on forums. I have bought 2 wrong gpu's so far, 6 pin pci instead of 8 pci so be weary.
I want to use a 1650 super, the graphics card has a 6pin, can I use a 6 pin to 6 pin or do I still need the 8? When I did the 6 pin to six pin and moved the jumper to the left it recognized the card but I couldn't boot because it said keyboard wasn't detected and didn't recognize the USB dingle for thr wireless keyboard or when I plugged in USB keyboard. Ideas or suggestions?
I think I had the same error funny enough with my pc at that time, the way I got around it was getting a converter, on the back of the pc are the old school mouse and keyboard ports, you can get a adaptor that takes it from the old school mouse/keyboard to usb. the item is a "PS/2 Adapter - F/M - USB mouse to PS2 Adapter - USB to PS2 Adapter" you might have one kicking around, cheap to buy on amazon/ebay, that way you can gain access to the bios and I am sure from there I had to change a settings to make the usb work again.
@@welshwhoopee When shopping for a replacement gpu card, how will we know it if will require an upgraded power brick? - Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and teach us.
depends on the card, if it needs extra power. my guess is you will need the second 180w power brick, why RTX 3050? remember look for the founders edition cards as these will fit and be the best for that system
yeah I play overwatch 2 on a laptop so its a easy game to play and so is fortnite, the update to the 1660 super should be fine, just let me know the model before you buy and I can say 100% if it will fit before you waste your time and have to send it back.
@@philiplima2485 would you mind sharing a picture of video? I had the 1660 OC edition. There was absolutely no way I was going to get it to fit unless it took lsrtd out. My modem has an option for 2 power adapter sources. The first one runs the PC and everything on the motherboard. The 2nd power source is used specifically to power larger cards. Have you tried that?
Do i need to move that pin for the power supply if im upgrading from a 6 pin gpu to an 8 pin? Or will it already be in place to work? Edit: for reference I'm going from a Gtx 960 to a Rtx 3050
@@welshwhoopeehi i just got the 1660 ti for christmas and i looked at the card and it had 8 pins. however my current gpu of a gtx 750 uses a 6 pin. will the case have an extra 6+2 pin in it or it just won’t work? i really want to use this graphics card.
If you see this, i tried to put the graphics card in the holder and it is too big to lock. Will it be ok to plug in without the lock? How do you plug in the gpu without a holder as you said in the video?

Hello Welsh, do you think it is possible also to change the case and install the motherboard on a new one so it's better to have a good ventilation if you are willing to install a 3060ti?
I wouldn't transfer it to another case as it won't fit, either transfer some of the parts like CPU and hdd's etc... to a new case, or sell it and make your PC from scratch. just depends what you want to do with the new pc etc..... where are you from anyway in the world and what do you mean willing to install a gpu?
@@welshwhoopee hello, i am from Croazia, i would like to install the 3060 but it's a little bit too big for that case!
not all GPU's will fit, but it depends on your budget and I can always find a card that will fit your system
@@welshwhoopee i dont have around 800 euros max
did you buy a 3060? the founders editions are the best ones to buy to make 100% sure its fit
Will a GTX 1660 Super coloful fit? and will it be compatible?
do you have a link to the model so I can check
hello i have a rog g20cb with the gtx960 2 gb , can i change it to the msi gtx 1660 super aero itx? i think it should fit because the gtx 1660 super have a small dimension😊
Hello, does your pc have the 2 power bricks? Yeah your fine with that card, any issues or help with install, give me a shout and I can guide you all the way ☺️
hello welsh i want to upgrade my graphics card to the best one i can fit in my rog g20 i think its the aj what would you recomend to ugrade it to i looked at a asus gtx 1660 super but it says it need 450w i only have one bif power brick
Hello, depends if you have 1 or 2 power bricks, if you only have 1 then stick to the model that doesnt need extra power but works through the pcie line
Hi, I have a Asus g20Aj and I am upgrading my GPU to a EVGA GTX 960 4gb GPU. The GPU supports 8-pin power cable while my motherboard has a 8 pin and a 6-pin slot available. MY question is, do I need to install a male 8-pin from my GPU into a splitter male 8-pin + 6-pin? Or will a male 8-pin to male 8-pin be enough for my GPU to work?
hello, yes simple answer is that only use the 8pin to 8pin is fine, anything else or any issues just give me a shout and I can guide you the rest of the way.
@@welshwhoopee is there anything that I need to do on the board to ensure that I am enable the 230w power supply? Such as turning on a switch or anything?
you can do the JDC01 but to be honest I would just plug power packs in and leave the side case off and just check if the fans on the graphics card spin, if it does then your good to go and put back on case and game :)
hey mate. amazing video! I would appreciate if u may answer me. I am planing get same gpu for upgrade. Did it work well without chanhing psu? Won't i need to upgrade the psu? Thanks in advance
Hello, depends what gpu your upgrading to, some don't need the second power brick and you can get away with using just 1 power brick. what is specs of the pc now?
@@welshwhoopee well, i got 2 gb gpu on it. There is one psu out of the case which has two power cable connected to pc. (I guess one is for the gpu). Sorry, i do not have mu ch knowledge about these:/
I installed a Nvidia 1660 and now none of the USB are getting enough power to operate. Any suggestions?
Hello, do you run 1 or 2 power bricks? and does the graphics card install need extra power? thanks
please help me - tell me what the jumpers are responsible for, I can't figure it out and connect an additional 180W power supply, I already understood that a 230W power supply can power two connectors 6 and 8, but if the video card consumes more than about 150W, the computer turns on, you can also probably switch it with a jumper so that the second power supply is used to power connectors 6 and 8 at 180 - right? how to do it ? my new card is gtx 980
Sometimes you need to do the switch jumpers but not always
@@welshwhoopee I already figured everything out myself. One lone jumper enables or disables auxiliary power (6+8). The remaining five jumpers in a row switches from where the video card will take energy 6 + 8 - either from the main unit 230 or from an additional 180. Excellent power supply flexibility - thanks to asus engineers. Personally, I bought a dell slim cylinder for a 240w power supply and it alone feeds the entire system - now it's a gtx 1070, but soon I will switch to 1080ti. I really, really like pascal - it can be super undervolted. I plan to undervolt 1080ti to 120w tdp. It's just incredible - no heat, no noise, and only a relatively small loss of fps. And more reliability-life of the video card.
@@welshwhoopee Please help me !!! - I really need photos and dimensions of a plastic clip - which keeps the video card from sagging in a metal bracket. I want to 3D print this clip - but I have absolutely no data about it. And I asked in several places - no one responds
Your upgrade tutorials have been amazing...however I wanted to asking something about the JC11 bit.
I removed the cap, then accidentally lost it when I dropped it on the ground. No idea where it went. Would that prevent the graphics card from installing correctly?
Hello, sorry for delay in getting back to you. what cap and could you show it in a picture if possible? thanks
@@welshwhoopee Its the black piece that you moved one pin ( the part with JC11). When I tried to move it over myself, I accidentally dropped it and now I can't find it.
yeah I know what you mean, it will bridge 2 pins together, if I am right you need a new "Header Jumper Cap" which you can find on ebay for next to nothing. either buy one online or if you have a local computer shop around, ask if their have 1 to sell from a old pc motherboard, their should be plenty around.
Now you used the evga gtx 980. Is there a real big difference between that and the evga gtx 980 ti? Will the evga gtx 980 ti also work with this PC? From what I've been looking at online, they both look pretty much the exact same in appearance and size. So I don't see why it wouldn't.
depends, it will only be the base clock speed that will be faster.
@@welshwhoopee I was thinking either the EVGA GTX 980 Ti or the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti. The reason why I asked if there was a difference between the EVGA GTX 980 and the EVGA GTX 980 Ti is because the regular EVGA GTX 980s for some reason are really hard to find. Because it's smaller than the EVGA GTX 980, I'll probably go with the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti. But thank you for the reply.
yeah that's true, the best card to try and find is the founders edition card, then it just comes down to finding a bargain card on ebay. because some 10 series or 11 series card could be as cheap as the old GTX 9 series cards and be as good or better
Thanks a lot welsh, now i just bought a RTX 3070 Inno3d and 330W Powerbrick , but when i tried to running it, it wont turn on the GPU, what do i do wrong ? btw mine is G20CI
Hello, do you get any display on start-up, I found some people which had this issue is either the pin inside hasn't been moved over on the JC01 pin or the riser card which is on the pcie of the graphics card is not flat and going into the slot on the motherboard. does that make sense, it does when I write it lol
@@welshwhoopee i thought the power supply is the problem , it is the 3070 that i bought is broken , i just repair it and it work like butter with original adapter , fyi motherboard cant handle more than 280w
so it unnecessary to buy another 330W
Oh ok, is that the Dell 330w power brick?
Hello I have an g20 with an gtx1080 will an Asus rtx 2080 ti turbo fit in it I'm aware I have to buy a new power brick will it work thank you for any help
Hello, do you currently have 2 power bricks to work the GTX1080 cause I 100% sure you do, depends on the RTX 2080 (as in model) the founders edition will fit ok
@@welshwhoopeeey,I have an g20+gtx1080 version too,now i am considering getting one higher performance gpu to upgrade my pc, rtx3060ti and rtx2080ti which one is more compatible with this machine?
Hi bought a g20 with r9 370. Tried to start it but no booting. I opened it up and what I can see the computer is starting but the graphic card is not runnning. Tried the graphic card on another computer and it runs.
What can the problem be? Got only 1 power adapter, how can I come faster help with u thanks..
Sorry for delay, do you still need help?
Hi, i recently got a 1660 ti for christmas as a gift to replace my gtx 750. However, when i opened the case and tried to put in the 1660 ti, it wouldnt fit! I saw the dimension restraints of the card and my card is around 3 mm too tall so it wont fit in the case. Would there be any way to fix this or it is impossible to use this gpu.
I do realize the possibility that i couldve inserted the card wrong into the holder but i tried to fit the gpu into the case raw, and it still didnt fit. So i think this will be impossible to use.
Hello, you don't really need the case to put the gpu in. if you install and its too wide then you will need to replace the card, if your getting a new card and you want a 100% fit, then go for a founders edition/refence card. sorry for delay
Hello, great video! I have a g20aj i7 4790, 16gig ram, and a gtx960...what would be a card that's worth it to upgrade to? Would a GTX 1080ti fit?
hello, go for a RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 as the founders edition of them cards will fit and their should be cheap enough now.
Thank you for the replay, i finally put away enough money to upgrade and i will take your recommendation and look for a 2060 or 2070, however i can't find "founder edition"i found on Amazon a 2060 from Asus brand...would that be ok? And i heard i need cables 6 and 6+8 pin, are those cables inside the g20aj?
@@welshwhoopee hello, I hope your doing well, I currently have a g20aj with a gtx 970 and I bought an Rtx 2060 to try to upgrade but I can’t seem to fit it in the house holder, any suggestions that might help?
I'm going to try a gtx 1080 ti turbo because someone mentioned it on forums. I have bought 2 wrong gpu's so far, 6 pin pci instead of 8 pci so be weary.
@@mumtan_11 I'm gonna go with the 1080ti as well, let me know how it goes ..and what do I need? A different cable?
can I use a 6pin to 8 pin and what power supply did you used for that gpu?
thanks
yeah that 6pin to 8pin is fine, and I used the original 230w (uk) and 180w (uk) power brick to power my gpu
@@welshwhoopee is it enough to upgrade to GTX 1060?
@@khalilalimirzoyev2418 yes
I want to use a 1650 super, the graphics card has a 6pin, can I use a 6 pin to 6 pin or do I still need the 8? When I did the 6 pin to six pin and moved the jumper to the left it recognized the card but I couldn't boot because it said keyboard wasn't detected and didn't recognize the USB dingle for thr wireless keyboard or when I plugged in USB keyboard. Ideas or suggestions?
So you have installed the 1650 super and still nothing from usb?
@@welshwhoopee changed the jumper as per your video, connected the 6pin from motherboard to the graphics card. Plugged it in and no USB.
inside windows or via the bios bootup screens?
@@welshwhoopee can't even get to the BIOS due to not having a keyboard to let me go to the BIOS, goes to a black screen that says no USB detected
I think I had the same error funny enough with my pc at that time, the way I got around it was getting a converter, on the back of the pc are the old school mouse and keyboard ports, you can get a adaptor that takes it from the old school mouse/keyboard to usb. the item is a "PS/2 Adapter - F/M - USB mouse to PS2 Adapter - USB to PS2 Adapter" you might have one kicking around, cheap to buy on amazon/ebay, that way you can gain access to the bios and I am sure from there I had to change a settings to make the usb work again.
When you upgrade this graphic card in the video , you dont need to upgrade the power source as well ?
Hello, depends on the graphics card that was installed, if it needs extra power then I would have had to install another power brick
@@welshwhoopee When shopping for a replacement gpu card, how will we know it if will require an upgraded power brick? - Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and teach us.
@@welshwhoopee To be more specific, I am considering upgrading from a 970 to a 3050. Is it possible and will a new power brick be required?
depends on the card, if it needs extra power. my guess is you will need the second 180w power brick, why RTX 3050? remember look for the founders edition cards as these will fit and be the best for that system
Do I have to upgrade anything else to run games? I have a default Rog G20 Aj and was also planning on upgrading my gpu from 750 to 1660 super
Basically, will the old parts be able to keep up with this new graphics?
Hello, sorry for delay. depends on the game, what are you planning to play?
@@welshwhoopee no need thanks for the reply! The games I’m having most graphical issues with are Overwatch 2 and Fortnite!
yeah I play overwatch 2 on a laptop so its a easy game to play and so is fortnite, the update to the 1660 super should be fine, just let me know the model before you buy and I can say 100% if it will fit before you waste your time and have to send it back.
@@welshwhoopee I wish I had let you know the model… It’s from Zotac gaming and I don’t believe it fits
Will rx 480 fit into my ASU’s g20bm think the rx 480 is 8 pin
which model of the RX 480 are we talking about?
I’ve sorted thanks buddy
My Nvidia 1660 Super only has one Set of 8 pin slots. The graphics card you used has two sets of pin slots. Does that matter?
not really, just use the 8pin to 8pin power cable and your ready to start using your new gpu
Did it end up working? I'm having serious issues with this not loading up
@@philiplima2485 no, this space is very small and the 1660 ended up not fitting. I returned it and got the 1650 Low Profile. I couldn't be happier.
@@cbwrestler103 I got the 1660 to fit it's just drawing to much power and all the usbs aren't working
@@philiplima2485 would you mind sharing a picture of video?
I had the 1660 OC edition. There was absolutely no way I was going to get it to fit unless it took lsrtd out.
My modem has an option for 2 power adapter sources. The first one runs the PC and everything on the motherboard. The 2nd power source is used specifically to power larger cards.
Have you tried that?
Do i need to move that pin for the power supply if im upgrading from a 6 pin gpu to an 8 pin? Or will it already be in place to work?
Edit: for reference I'm going from a Gtx 960 to a Rtx 3050
what model is your pc? you don't need to move the pin and going from 6pin to 8pin is fine, do you have 2 power bricks?
Will a Rtx 3050 fit in?😅
Did you upgrade yours? 3050 would probably be overkill but I'm thinking of a 20 series just don't know which one
1080 gtx can run in this machine?
yeap, depends on the model. the founders edition is 100% fit
Does nvidia rtx 3060 fit in g20ci?
Hello, depends on the model
for this pc, im going to upgrade the gpu to a gtx 1660 from a gtx 750. will it be possible? im worried i dont have enough pins or space.
Yes it's fine, just depends on the card you choose and if you need the second power brick
so the gtx 1660 will fit in the case and it has enough pins to plug in?
@@welshwhoopee
oh yes
@@welshwhoopeehi i just got the 1660 ti for christmas and i looked at the card and it had 8 pins. however my current gpu of a gtx 750 uses a 6 pin. will the case have an extra 6+2 pin in it or it just won’t work? i really want to use this graphics card.
If you see this, i tried to put the graphics card in the holder and it is too big to lock. Will it be ok to plug in without the lock? How do you plug in the gpu without a holder as you said in the video?
Someone told me before that these are not ugradable so I got scared that I was going to have to buy me a new pc 😭😭😭
Their are wrong and its been done many times and all around the world, easy to work on and great to upgrade
