Will the GTX 660 fit into an Alienware x51?

Yes this card WILL fit into the x51. I bought this exact card for my x51 to replace the gt 640 that was in it. You need the 330w power brick in order to use it, and you should get EVGA precision X software to underclock it just a TAD because sometimes while playing grphic intensive games like Metro Last Light it will max out on wattage usage and force the comp to restart. This is not an issue, as you can just lower the preferred power usage with the software. I bought an x51 just to have an itx comp to throw in the living room so I dont have to move my custom rig all over the place. But yes, this card will work fine.

My guess in no. This card is quite large and the Alienware x51 takes a GeForce GTX 555 (Maximum) according to this site: http://www.theverge.com/products/x51-2012/5003 Check around and do some research, but it probably won't fit because of the form factor of the PC. It barely fits in my Inspiron 530, I needed to take all my hard drives out to fit it in and then put them back on top. There is about a 1/4 in. or less of clearance between the top of the card and the undersides of my hard drives. (Tight Fit!) The card is great, but do your homework before you buy.

I honestly do not know the answer to that question. If it is a full sized tower, or, at least not a mini tower or one that lies on its side, it should fit fine. If you are still not sure, you can tell me the height and width of space around the x16 slot in your pc and I will be able to tell you then if it will fit or not.

My system came with a GeForce GTX 660 which has 2048 MB of internal ram. Good Luck, Paul

Daniel, I would need some more info from your computer to determine for sure, but I think it is compatible. Example: there are many different Alienware X51 computer setups, i.e. Ax51R2-1438k or the AX51r-2683BK and so on. Best place to tell is your Motherboard manual specifications for compatible CPU's. they all may have the same socket but, each may have different compatibilities. Hope this helps.

This card is a great card, I used it in MY Alienware 51 up until the GTX 760 was approved for use in the box. However, the X51 ships with a 64 bit OS, and IF the card is approved for Vista, then yes, it would likely work IF you have installed the latest BIOS for the machine now available from DELL.Moreover, you should really do yourself a favor IF you plan to game with the X51, put in the GTX 760, it is faster, gives waaaay better FPS and is more current with a nearly commensurate price-point. Good Luck :)

It is one of the smallest gpus, so I'm 99 percent sure it would fit in just about anywhere, I swapped out a 520 gt for this one and it was even smaller than my original

I would say yes. I am currently running Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 (Dimensions: 10.1 x 5.2 x 1.6 in). Its fits comfortably. EVGA has the GeForce GTX 760 at 9.5 x 1.5 x 4.4 inches. The Gigabyte Geforce GTX 760 runs longer at 11.6 x 5.1 x 1.7 inches, but since this case has a removable HDD cage, you can accommodate much longer cards. Even with the cage removed, you still have two HDD slots, and plenty of slots for SSD.

according to these:1. http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19526167.aspx2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OySjCz1Sn_kit can be replaced as it's not soldered to the motherboard (assuming next GPU gen. will support the same slot MXM 3.0b)

I am still wondering if an alienware x51 will fit does anybody actually know

Noooooooo, maybe if the side panel was exposed. This things height would be nearly the height of the x51 case if it was sitting flat. Its not super tall, but it is wide. Wide enough that I had to take empty out the nearest RAM slot closest to the CPU just to install it. I have a Thermaltake A30, and it doesn't fit with the Power Supply directly above the CPU. There was about half an inch of a gap I couldn't clear. I ended up punching out a window on the side and got a Corsair H60 instead.

Yes. It will. I have had awhile and my computer is 19 diagonal x 17.5 there is nothing to stop the Alienware laptop u r asking about from working fine on this. I bought awhile back and is still working great. It's very quiet as well!

well I'm running it in my 4th generations sandy bridge alien ware x51...its made by dell...it should work

I believe the components would be compatible; however, I do not believe it would fit. Depending on where the x16 slot is, you might can just remove the cover to let it clear, although I do not advise it.

I dont own a 660, but i do have the GTX 680 installed in my tower. It fits, but there isnt much room left to put a hard drive in the space behind my GTX 680. Fortunately, there are other slots to position your hard drives. I only have 2 hard drives, so this case works for me with room to spare. If you want to use all of the hard drive trays then you may want to find a different case. Hope this helps

It'll fit. The bigger question is will it fit your case. I think so though. This is one of the smallest GTX 660s.

They will, however I'd be more concerned about the size since for what I know the X51 is a fairly low profile form factor. The hyperx aren't big like the dominators or the vengeance from corsair but idk how cramped that case is on the inside.
