Will the GTX 1050 fit my case?

Guest · Jul 20, 2017

I have a generic Deluxe MT527 case. The length is 40cm, 18cm wide, and 41cm in height. Will a GTX 1050 fit? Which version should i get that fit the best?

this case?

http://www.vatgia.com/466/3286407/case-delux-mt-527.html

couldn't find a manufacturer site

looks viable but i ignore the airflow inside that case, the 1050ti is not much hot, looks viable to me

but i ignore if the motherboard has a pci express slot, you need that to connect the gpu in there, you don't mention the hardware specs so is a perhaps

Yes, it's that case. The specs are I5 2120 (3.3 GHz), 4GB of RAM, motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-DS2, PSU: CoolerMaster Elite Power 400W (RS-400-PSAR-J3) and the above case.

this mainboard?

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-DS2-rev-30#ov

that would be ayes, it will fit and will work

i don't see a reason it wouldn't work

perhaps if you put it and doesn't work, doesn't give video, update motherboard bios, other than that, i would proceed

You might want to look at upgrading your PSU.
According to this:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Your PSU is in Tier 4.

Tier Four

Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind. Avoid unless your budget dictates your choice.

Other reviews (you can google them) say that the PSU is unable to deliver its rated power.

atljsf · Jul 20, 2017

even if only deliver 300 or 250 watts should be enough to power the gtx 1050, especially if is a model that doesn't require a power cable

his total power consumption wil not go over 170 watts more or less

clarkjd · Jul 20, 2017

atljsf :

I know it will run. I would be more concerned with how long and how safely it would run. That PSU has been the star of several youtube PSU explosions.

atljsf · Jul 20, 2017

rofl, good point

perhaps if you can buy both a new good psu and the gpu, just to be safe, it would be good

clarkjd :

What if i pick a GTX 750TI instead of a GTX 1050, will that PSU be sustainable? Or is it a total no go for any graphic card i pick?

atljsf · Jul 20, 2017

both gpus use the same amount of watts more or less

the concern is not the gpu, is the amount of load it will apply over this weak psu

so buy a 1050, no one should buy a 750ti

later buy the psu

Guest · Jul 20, 2017

atljsf :

Do you have any suggestion for a a PSU that will work with the 1050, is affordable and will last (cheapest possible)?

atljsf · Jul 20, 2017

i have bought many thermaltake 430, corsair 500 and i want to buy a evga 500

lots of people like seasonic psus

i would buy the gpu and later the psu if money is a problem

clarkjd · Jul 20, 2017

Any tier 1 or 2 brand and model with 450-500 watts would be sufficient to power your system safely.
You know better than I what brands are available to you, but anything in tier 1 or 2 would be excellent,

Is this PSU good enough?

This is the link from for all the PSU that are available at the shop which i'm going to buy the 1050. Click on the filter and select "Giá tăng dần" for the lowest price point stuffs.

Yes, the Seasonic would be a good PSU for your build.

Thanks, clarkjd. Do i need a new fan for the rig? My case doesn't have any fan and my current CPU fan is just a cheap generic one with Intel's logo on it. Do i need worry about heating issues?

clarkjd · Jul 21, 2017

There are two reasons to replace a working stock intel CPU fan:
1. you want to overclock your CPU. The stock fan was designed to work at stock speeds only.
2. you want a quieter system. An aftermarket CPU cooler can be noticeably quieter than the stock fan.

if neither of these scenarios applies to you, then you do NOT need to replace your working stock fan.

atljsf · Jul 21, 2017

the cpu will work alot more with this good gpu

the fan will be heard

if you can buy a new cooler, that would be great

you can monitor temperatures after you start playing games and if you see cpu temp going high and the fan doing too much noise and pc starts to throttle cpu speed, a new cooler should be a welcome upgrade

What about case fans? Do i need to buy one or more?

atljsf · Jul 21, 2017

the case has only one in the back, right?

if you can add another in the front

i think the case doesn't allow for more

the gtx doesn't work that hot so the heat should come now form the cpu working harder thanks to the gpu asking more from it making it work to get higher resolutions, higher quality settings and effects

Guest · Jul 21, 2017

atljsf :

No, the case has zero. In the back, there are no slot for a fan but i think i can install 1-2 fan sideways. About high resolution and settings, I only plan to play games at 1366x768, mid-high settings, which is very low quality for a lot of you but i used to play at 800x600 so i'm not going to complain much.

atljsf · Jul 21, 2017

the case has space for a 120 mm fan on the back, right?

the psu is on the top right?

that would make for a negative pressure case

can you install a fan on the bottom of the case? i would install it pushing air in the case

the fans on the left panel might work but usually the space there is for 80mm fans, those are noisy

Will the GTX 1050 fit my case?
