Title: HP Z600 (dual Xeon 5670), 32 GB Ram: New graphic card Geforce GTX Titan Z (375W)
Post by: Antitrack on August 26, 2018, 05:40:53 am
Hello,
I have an old but gold HP Z600 with 32GB Ram, dual X5670 CPU and a rather old Nvidia Geforce 670 graphics card.
I plan to replace the graphics card with a monster triple slot card that requires 375W and 42A on the 12V line, namely, a Geforce GTX Titan Z.
Yeah, probably not the wisest choice of graphics card but hey, it was a bargain!  :D

Now, I am very well aware that the standard 650 Watt power supply unit won't do.

Has anyone been able to upgrade the power supply so it works with such a monster of a graphic card?
If so, how'd you fit the new power supply unit into the case?   :P

What would you do to upgrade the power supply properly -- how many Watts etc. do I need?

Any recommendations appreciated.
