RAM ? Chipset of MB & brand , part number ? Brand & model number of PSU 220W Monitor and type of connections it has - resolution ? This is mostly a User to User support Forums However you can call EVGA or e-mail for direct contact https://www.evga.com/about/contactus/ I highly recommend asking your original PC Mfg if it is a name brand: Dell, HP .......

Not that there are many options in the low profile category. The GT 1030 is really the only new option that EVGA has in a low profile card. The GT 730, GT 710, and GF210 are all older generation cards that are offered in low profile, but they are lower performance. The GT 1030 does recommend a 300w psu, but with only a 30w tdp it probably won't be a problem. #3

And I also have some extra ram. Currently has intergrated hd graphics. Obviously not looking to put a lot of $$ into this relic. It will be used for light gaming (nothing new, minecraft, etc) and 1080p content. So it needs to have HDMI. The 1030 looks great (if a bit overkill $100) but now I'm concerned about this comment: "Sometimes the old MB BIOS does not support Newer GPU " Of the older stuff, which is best ? #4

(maybe someone else can chime in with more info) The GT 730 would be my next suggestion to save some money, but honestly the price difference isn't enough for my recommendation. EVGA does have a B-stock GT 1030 right now that is low profile and passive cooled for $80 (link below). https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-6332-RX #5

I didn't know the EVGA boards were so active. I have the sx2851-41 with Win 10 home. #blamb83 Thanks for that list. I'll def get something from there ,, is the RX at the end mean b-stock, as opposed to KR ?? I'll probably get the one that #Cool GTX mentioned but it has RX at the end. #9

Totally my fault for not paying really close attention. So the only slot available is VERY close to top of very slim case. The heatsink on EVGA GeForce GT 1030 SC, 02G-P4-6332-RX, 2GB GDDR5, Passive, Low Profile didn't let it fit that way AND the back plate where you connect hdmi is too big. Has to be half height if that makes sense. So is there something else that might fit ? #18

I would try the non-passive 1030 and looks like they have B-stock ones. Both 1030s should come with an low profile bracket as can be seen below and below that is the non-passive GT 1030 to show height of shroud. Maybe the bracket was missing because is B-stock? Edit: I disagree with measurement of width of the passive 1030 being 1.5 slot is more like 2 full slots. post edited by EyeDeeNo - 2018/02/24 08:49:20 Attached Image(s) Lenovo 710-25ISH IdeaCentre with an Intel Core i5-6400 ~ Win10 Home 64-Bit 21H2 Lenovo 3642 Motherboard Intel H170 Chipset ~ BIOS FWKTA7A 11/7/2019 FSP Group FSP250-30AGBAA 250w 80 Plus Bronze EVGA 04G-P4-6251-KR GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming VBIOS 86.07.22.00.50 ~ Precision XOC 6.0.9 ~ Game Ready 516.59 G.SKILL F4-2400C15Q-4GNT Value DDR4 4x4GB Kit Crucial CT1000MX500SSD1 MX500 SSD 1TB Firmware M3CR043 (Sabrent BK-PCBS) + Seagate ST2000DM008-2FR102 Barracuda HDD 2TB Pioneer BDR-209UBK Blu-ray Burner ~ Firmware 1.54 10/7/2020 AOC E2475SWQE 23.6'' 1ms TN 1080p 60Hz Monitor via Athena CLH-DP0612MM28 DP + Samsung UN32J5500AF 31.5'' TV via Belkin F8V3311B15 HDMI Creative GigaWorks #19

I am not sure if the motherboard will support it though. Hope it helps. #24

As you can see, very little space up there where GPU would go.. RMA was approved. I don't see any B stock low profile single slot 1030,, what else can I get that has low draw power ? #25
