This FAQ refers to SG41J1, SG41J1 Plus, SG41J1 Plus V2

Supports dual-slot graphics cards

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SG41J1 series supports large dual-slot graphics cards which occupies two slots. Please note, that in this case the second slot for another expansion cards cannot be used.

Maximum dimensions for graphics cards: 273 x 98 x 38mm

Despite the small cube format, XPCs still supports very large graphics cards. Please note, that graphics cards with the same model number may differ in size.

Is the 250W power supply sufficient?

Manufacturers of graphics cards state for their devices what minimum power output a PC's power supply must be able to deliver to ensure stable operation, for example 250W for ATI's Radeon HD5770. Shuttle's SG41J1 series however, equipped with a 300W power supply, still meets the requirements of the graphics cards listed in the Shuttle compatibility list, because the barebone's power supply is especially designed for such a small system which won't allow for installing as many expansion cards and hard drives as a big tower PC.

Compatibility list

Please find compatible components like processors and graphics cards on the support list at global.shuttle.com. Please note that only a limited choice of components available on the market can be tested. Naturally, the list is kept up to date and extended constantly when new components become available.

The Shuttle XPC series SG41J1 already supports several powerful dual-slot graphics cards out of the box. However, it does not provide additional power connectors for graphics cards (6-pin or 8-pin). A power supply upgrade is required for certain graphics cards as shown in the table.
