Optiplex 7020 GPU upgrade

Hello guys, 

I have been planning on mounting an RX 580 ASUS graphic card dual fans on my optiplex 7020

Is it ok? The card is 8GB and should work fine with it but i just didn't want to risk it

Is it fine with the motherboard and power supply? 

Oh the processor is i7 4th 

Please reply

Thanks

    Absolutely not compatible. You have a less than 300w psu. Optiplex computers are for business use so no movie watching or game playing. That card need a minimum of 500w psu. Also power supplies on Optiplex usually cannot be upgraded. https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-RX580-O8G/specifications/

    7020/9020 does not use standard power supply so no.

    what case is it?  why post lacking such a fact. MT, SFF 

    my guess is since you said (implied ) the 1200w fits must be the BIG'N the MT minitower case

    when posting assume we can see what you own. sitting there,  what case, what case? and what's inside it now matters,too.

    it is Q87 based and Pentium (4th gen/Haswell) 

    not chopped liver in that regard.

    THE MT IN FACT DOES USE  A NEAR, ATX SIZED PSU. BUT NEEDS AND ADAPTOR

    NOTE THE 24 PIN CONNECTOR MISSING? YET?

    NOTE THE 12VDC ONLY CABLES>? OPPS.

    And gutless 290watts (if that is it)

    what sizes PSU do you need, 700watts up is best, for fast GPU, are you doing fast GPU?

    the stock rails 12v are 14/16a, so easy .

     

    note the lack of 24 pins below on the MT.  4pin and 8pin only there, look on yours yet, seems not.

     

    no 24pins here, see?no 24pins here, see?

     

     

    google DELL , psu adapter 24p to 8pin

    bingo

    here a real case 7020 MT

    when exceeding 700watt the PSU gets longer, (how else?) must fit into (transgress) to this space here.

    what is do use use a ruler, and measure the space, first. or OGM  rip out DVD cages note needed.
    even to the point of drilling out POP-rivets seen there, (using vacuum cleaner with hand 2, to catch filings)

    Does not matter which size it is.

    7020/9020 DOES NOT USE standard power supply connectors.

    You will have to upgrade the psu and also buy a 24 pin to 8 pin adapter for the motherboard but other than that you should be fine
