Upgrading Graphics Card advice(GTX 1050ti)

furkan68k18 · Nov 28, 2017

Hi,

I have a friend who wants to upgrade to a gtx 1050/1050ti
Will the upgrade be possible with the following specs:

-Motherboard(H81H3-EM2)

This is what he said about it

"I checked and found that it has EFI.
IBS Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: EFI"

-PSU (350W)

More info about psu:

As long as it's a 1050ti that doesn't need a 6 pin , should be fine. 1050 would be fine too.

So the psu will be able to run it?

Yes it can , no problem ,has 2 - 16 AMP 12v+ rails , plenty of power.

I agree and want to add two points. Actually three.

1. Clean the dust and dander.
2. Change that PSU (first chance) especially if it's a few years old (although it's OK with a 1050 or 1050 Ti as said by the Blackbird).
3. How high is that aluminum heat sink? If as high as it seems in the shot it might get in the way of big cards with big heat sinks and shrouds and what not. Have that in mind regarding card size and maybe get a 1050 or 1050 Ti mini?

And don't bend SATA data cables that much that can result in data loss and also CRC error count in the HDD/SSD S.M.A.R.T.

Erm that's four points now.
