I would like to share this thread with my own question if alright?  I have a P6210Y http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01859864 . I have added a 400W PS with a 6 pin connector. I also now have 8GB ram. I have added in the past a Galaxy Gforce 550ti  Single slot card. I would like to update to a EVGA GTX 1060  3gb dual slot card. It seems to meet all specs. I am just worried about it hitting the heatsink on the mother board (M2N78-LA). The Heatsink is located pretty close to the PCIe slot. It is slightly higher than the slot.

I will actually have to say that it won't fit.

 

Keep your money in your pocket and search for one that is shorter than 9.6".  😉

 

 

The Violet motherboard is 9.6" x  9.6"  

 

See the form factor on the following HP web document

http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01635734

 

The EVGA GTX 1060  3gb card video card is 10.5" long and 4.376" high.

 

See the dimensions for the video card on the following  EVGA web document.
