switching from gtx 1060 to 2060 in rack server

[Arokh]

Hi

i have question.

I using HP proliant dl380 g6 with zotac gtx 1060 6gb with blower, i make custom 10pin sas power to pcie 6pin adapter.

Sas connector locks something like drawing in attachments, i use 2x 12V + 4x GND, and rated for 120W by system manufacturer. Power supply is single 750W HP DPS-750RB, I have another one like that but i remove it becouse of better silence and power consumption.

It works just fine but time for change and i little worried about power consumption, right now gtx 1060 should consume max something around 200W, but rtx 2060 consume ~50W more.

It will be save to run 2060 in this ? Or better to use separate power supply ?

I really dont want to fry motherboard, replacement parts is almost impossible to get, or really expensive.

May I ask why replace on the first place? the jump from the 1060 to 2060 is not that gigantic and depending on the type of workload you put on it this might not really be worth the hassle.

 

So what kind of hardware acceleration does it do?

this server compute enough in his live in datacenter since release with years of uptime, now i using it in home for small in house NAS, bit of virtualization and remaining part as ordinary gaming pc, and some blender few times a week, dual cpu and cuda acceleration give loot of compute power for his age.

Soon i replace it with ryzen 3600 but now i need to give 1060 as gift to friend.

I just use external power supply, just bought pure power 11 for future build

Working great.
