The card works just fine right? There is a weird power limit of around 40watts on some oem motherboards.

[@uBm3d]

this board has a 40 watt power limit, it works fine though with a gtx 1060 ( extra 6 pin power connector) and a better PSU. - u might use a riser to turn the 1060 90 ° and power the extender with the new and better PSU (kinda hard to get a good one with 2x 6 pin PCE connectors) then, needs some backplate removal and construction tough.
