X51 R1 upgrade 1060 + new cpu fan
Hi,
Just to inform users who want to upgrade their r1 : i've just upgraded my x51 R1 (330w and nvidia 660) with a 1060 and new CPU fan.
The 1060 card is : ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 TURBO-GTX1060-6G
The new CPU fan is : Thermalright AXP-100 Muscle edition
It works perfectly, it's silent and cooler. The only problem is that my case needs to be open because of the new CPU fan but It is totally worth it.
With closed case, it's becoming more and more hot and noisy (still less than with official cpu fan and 660). Open case, it's silent even when you play Doom 60 fps ultra.
With this Asus 1060, you need to remove the front fan, it's not that hard to do.
