Hello. According to the HP Quick Specs sheet for the 705 G1 SFF one of the PCI e x16 slots has a 10w max power capacity, I don't fully understand how these slots work (especially with budget gamers plugging GTX 1060's into 6000 and 8200 models and such), if I have a v2.0 graphics card that exceeds the 10w amount (which I can about guarantee you it will) is it using the reserved 75w max from the other PCI e x16 slot? And is it possible to have a quad core with two of the same model PCI e x16 cards running?

Hi,
Look under POWER. It will explain the power limitations for 1x, 4x, 16x.
Even with that in mind, you will consistently find that graphics card manufacturer take a very conservative approach when stating the minimum recommend wattage size for power supplies. There are just too many unknowns such as PC hardware provisioning, application loading, age of PC, power supply efficiency, ambient room temperature and the list goes on and on. Additionally, HP and other manufacturers will limit power draw on a PCI-e slot is meet design considerations. Standards are not always followed when designing a PC for specific purposes.
