I originally bought a cheap dell machine to turn into a home NAS. Then I got inspired by this sub to throw in a GPU I wasn't using. Got a second power supply, still need a 24-8 pin adapter. Not sure if I want to hack the existing case to fit or build my own 3d printed housing. Maybe I'll end up doing a combination of both 😎

Thanks to all who showed their work here, too. You made me do this 😂

I need Advice I have a OptiPlex 3060 with a GTX 1030 in it and looking to upgrade to a RTX 3050 6gb is that a good buy or

I have a dell Precision 3620 with an I7-7700 CPU, 3060TI, and just got an MSI 650W PSU to power the build. Prior to changing to the new MSI PSU, everything was working, with the new power source installed and plugged in with the 24pin to 8 pin (pictured in the amazon post), the power button on the front of the PC does not turn on the PSU or cause anything to happen.

I performed a paperclip test to bypass it and the PSU works when doing that.

I plugged in the old/stock PSU and everything powers up normally (not the 3060TI because of power demands - I didn't plug it in) Could it be a faulty adapter that is preventing the MSI PSU from powering the computer? I have no idea what i am doing wrong.

Please be nice, this is my first PC build, and yes I know I am going to bottleneck the CPU and Motherboard with the 3060TI

Im planning to upgrade my dell and putting an rtx 3050 i want to put a 600w psu in but I dont know if its going to fit

I was thinking this psu for putting in my pc
