Optiplex GX620 SFF Graphics Upgrade
Hello Everyone,
Well I Know That This Question Has Been Answered Thousands Of Times, However I Really Need A New Graphics Card, and I'd Like To Know If The One Mentioned Below Will Work.
My System Specs:
Pentium D 820 @ 2.8GHz (Not OCd)
2GB RAM DDR2 (2x 512 533MHz, 1x 1GB 800MHz (Undeclocked To 533 Automatically.) )
Seagate 160GB HDD 7200RPM
Onboard Graphics (256 MB)
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
So My Question Is, Will An "MSI Geforce 210 1GB (N210) (Low Profile, Passive Cooling)" Fit in and Work?
Is My PSU Capable Of Supplying This Card? (Can't Check My Power Supply Right Now, I'm Away)
If Not, May You Suggest Me Another Inexpensive Graphics Card?
Furthermore, I'd Like To Know Whether Am I Going To Experience Overheating / High Temps, Generally, Since There's Only The CPU and PSU fan.
I'm Not Into Gaming {Hate This Term} So This Card Is What I Need.
Thanks In Advance

Dell has for years cranked down the power for energy star.
Dell YD358 - 220W Power Supply is not 275W
GX260 and GX280 SFF Use 250W
:emotion-3:
At best it wont post. At worst there will be a loud POP! then smoke then fire.
Dell YD358 220W Power Supply is for
Dell OptiPlex GX520 SFF, GX620 SFF, XPS 200, Dimension 5100C, 5150C
This is also why they Print 25W max on the X16 video slot.
Radeon HD 2400 XT 25 W TDP
XX347 ATI Radeon HD2400 Pro, 256MB, DVI-I, TV Out
YP477 ATI Radeon HD2400 Pro, 256MB, DVI-I, TV Out
CP309 ATI Radeon HD2400 XT, 256MB, DMS-59, TV Out
XX355 ATI Radeon HD2400 XT, 256MB, DMS-59, TV OutWhat part number is on the power supply.? If you have 275w power supply perhaps you have DESKTOP model and not SFF. The slot will still have the 25w limit shown. I would not use a geforce based card. AN Asus SILENT EAH 6450 does fit and works.

Just Had My Brother To Check Inside The Case, It Is 275W.
Can I Use This Video Card, Or Should I Go For The Radeon HD 5450 Mentioned In A Photo Above?
EDIT: Asus Radeon HD5450 Require More Than A 275W PSU. Thus, Asus Should Not Be Considered.
Found an MSI Radeon HD5450 low profile, But I Was Unable To Find How Much Power It Requires.
Do You Know How Much Power Does The MSI Radeon HD5450 Require?
P.S. I Need A Graphics Card With At Least 512MB Capacity, Therefore, The HD2400 Series Is Useless To Me.Andrew010101

The PSU Is 275W. And I'm Using The SFF (Otherwise I Wouldn't Look For LP Cards.) It Is A Refurbished GX620, So I Guess,They Changed The PSU.
(They Informed Me That They Had Added Another HDD (Kingston 7200RPM) and Changed The RAM Sticks, But The Did Not Informed Me About A PSU Replacement, I Guess They Forgot To Mention It)
The Card You Posted Seems Good, But Since It Is More Expensive Than This One:
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/422697/MSI-Radeon-HD5450-1GB-LP.html
(MSI Radeon HD5450 LP)
It Will Be An Alternative If The MSI Doesn't Work.
Thank You All
Edit: The MSI Radeon Will Work, According To NewEgg's Product Q&A.
Thank You All Guys, I Really Appreciate Your Help!It should be noted that we are talking about SFF
Rather than Google I opened up my GX620SFF and took a look at the Actual Power Supply which is 220W. Note the MAX Output power 220W part number YD358. The max TDP for a 6450 is 27W and the Max TDP for the Geforce 210 is 31W.
Also confirmed here
http://www.impactcomputers.com/yd358.html
I did find a 275W version N8373/YD080 (Which I would Recommend if you are trying the update)
http://www.impactcomputers.com/YD080.html
http://www.impactcomputers.com/N8373.html
N8373 also has 4 pin molex for the floppy drive whereas the others do not.
The USFF is a non starter because their power supply is 150W and it has no slots.
Dell YD358 220W Power Supply is for
Dell OptiPlex GX520 SFF, GX620 SFF, XPS 200, Dimension 5100C, 5150C
I looked up GX520 and GX620 SFF power supplies on eBay, and they are 275 watts.
I have a Sapphire 6450 installed in my SFF (Windows 8 x64) and it functions very well. For what it's worth, the main point of my buying the old machine was to determine what worked and what didn't.

I installed a Sapphire 6450 in my GX620 SFF, but the GT 210 should work as well.
