3060mobile

[ANDREY_RYBALKA]

Hey everybody,
So I am planning to buy a 3060mobile for my build and I've heard that it cannot be used with every motherboard, but I can't find any further info about it.
Can anyone help me to understand what motherboards should I avoid?

As far as I know, mobile GPUs are not designed to go into desktop Motherboards... Please list your exact system specifications (make and model of all hardware) and a link to the exact "3060mobile" you plan to buy.

Given the nicheness of this GPUs being used in desktop PCs I doubt there's any official support list. I'd try and send a message to the seller to see if they can tell you anything, but either way I'd advise against buying one of those GPUs unless you're getting a great deal when compared to a 3060 12gb since there's a much higher chance for you to have problems with this kind of configuration when compared against a normal 3060.

I mean, it is possible to use them, even with no hdmi connector. Jest have to connect it to the motherboard instead. Here's a great video:
As for other specifications, I want to use a 10600k cause I already have it. Haven't thought about anything else yet.

If you already bought it then just try it and find out if it works.

Sure, anything is technically possible, but that's now what I said. I said they're "not designed" for this use case, so your mileage may vary. My biggest concern is using unofficial / patched / "Frankenstein" drivers, as you never know what modifications someone has slipped into the driver package. As for what motherboard to use, any board with an appropriate slot that accepts the interface the GPU uses should work fine, if the GPU itself shows up properly.
