PRECISION T3620 : no GTX1070 without drill out the disk cage
Like an other user of the forum, I had to drill out the disk cage in order to install a Geforce GTX1070 (made by EVGA).
I found strange that not any DELL Precision workstation can accept such graphic cards out of the box.
I understand that Vostro or XPS series have some limitations but Precision series should not.

Hi @Laurent5659 ,
Nothing strange simply because Precision is not designed to work with GTX series GPU from the very beginning. It's a workstation fundamentally, not a gaming PC. Factory default to be installed with AMD FirePro or Nvidia Quadro.
Same theory, you won't blame a Dell Server that not able to install a GTX1070 right?

Have you looked at the T3500 ? It has a lot of space. I run 2 of them with 750 ti in each.

You dont need to drill out the cage.
You will need an X16 riser cable and the cover will have to be off.
You may also need an external power supply to provide 220W of 12v power.425W and 625w power supply is going to be too small. The precision power supplies are non standard.
aux 6 PIN cable part number D92C9 is for the 825W Psu
