You're considering repurposing your old desktop with a low-power GPU. It's a creative approach, but there are some important points to consider. The motherboard you're looking at has features from both laptops and desktops, like a hybrid design and a 24-pin connector slot. While it can run on 75 watts, soldering a 24-pin connector and connecting your GPU might work technically. However, ensure the power supply and cooling are adequate for the new setup. Safety comes first—verify all connections and consult a reliable source before proceeding.
If it were exclusive, could there be a variation in the pin arrangement on the 24-pin connector compared to the board?
If there are PCI-E slots, it should handle the 75W power requirement for the GPU. It's typical that up to 75W is supported, I believe. You can verify the adapter's wattage by multiplying the current with the output voltage. If it exceeds 150W, it should be fine.
That is a BTX form factor. The PSU is proprietary to the board. You can still use low power gpu with a molex to 6 pin adapter so you dont have to worry about the board providing it. This will allow use of a slightly larger GPU. That all depends on the PSU though. I imagine its 350w or something. Won't know until you pull the PSU and take a picture of the power supply, see what it can handle.
