I used this video as a reference to upgrade it and I’ve loved it ever since. I threw in a single fan 1660 Super, 12 GB of RAM, and a 500 Watt Power Supply for good measure and it runs amazing. I’ve even been hitting 4K 60 FPS. Thank you Linus!

    This has been my dedicated streaming pc setup for the last 2 years and has performed very well over this time to run OBS . SSD, 16gb Ram and 1650 upgrades helped in keeping a solid broadcast but it did run close to 100% on the i7 3770 most of the many streams undertaken! . The Dell was given to me to see if I wanted any parts and turned out to be a very capable machine. Replaced with an i5 12th Gen and Rtx 3050 build recently but the advice on this video to not write this old tech off is invaluable! It's now being repurposed to run as a dedicated ARK pc (it's the only Steam game I play) resulting in a very playable game on high settings even in 2022. Back in early 2020 the Gtx 1650 was only about £135 in the UK!

I went from running absolutely nothing to pretty much running anything I want in like a week. It was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Now all I really have to worry about is a cpu upgrade down the road. These are a pretty solid deal though if you're just gifted the prebuilt machine or something. I love this thing.

    I have an old Optiplex 9020 with an i7-4770 so I’m definitely gonna give it some new life! Did the same for my dad’s old Sony VAIO laptop and man, that thing could hardly boot before and now it’s up and running quick thanks to an SSD instead of the old HDD and double the RAM it had off the shelf. It’s honestly impressive what old processors can still do today when you give them decent components to use.

    Just for reference, the 7010 and this system in the video, the 9010 both can upgrade PSU's without needing the adapter. There is also a workstation version of the 7010 the T1650 that can also be upgraded without any adapters or anything. You can throw them in a different case too. You have to get creative to fix the boot up errors by prying off the plastic housing that goes around the power button pin out and connect your new case PWR + and - cables to the first set of pins, place a jumper on the middle set and just leave the one setting by itself alone and the power button will work along with no boot up errors, you can also take a case PWR LED and wire it to the dell front case connector using the purple and green wire This will turn your power button into the HDD LED which will flash when you power up the pc and when there is any activity to the HDD. They only thing I cant get working that plugs into the motherboards is the HD audio for the mic and headphone jack.

    You can get some really great deals on these old optiplexes, I've used them as cheap server computers. I got one with a i5 3570 and one with a i5 4570 for $150 including tax and shipping. add more ram and an SSD and you have a pretty decent rig. The only downside is the lack of m.2 support and the need for a new PSU and PSU adapter for the motherboard power if you wanna add a decent GPU to the case. (I guess you could get around this with some dual psu jank but your tower will look like a mining rig lol)

      Source: tested a similar GPU a couple weeks ago, wouldn't ever recommend using it. Despite Linus's benchmark saying 160 average it's actually closer to 40, which he would've noticed if he didn't leave after 2 minutes of gameplay.

Its also a weird product by the story of the video, what family member is either A, buying a PC like that, and B, upgrading it. Cause a PC user who buys something like that would not be upgrading for any real reason, the PC aint slow. Pop a SSD in and its a snappy user experience to send out those emails or surf facebook which is all something a PC like this would be used for. Its an unrealistic story, and an unrealistic part.

It runs really well, but mine has a propietary PSU that only carries 12V 16A, any other voltages are converted on the motherboard itself. There are also a pretty limited amount of SATA III ports (only 3), but at least I got something to game with.

  • @yorgle11
    @yorgle11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There's 2 obstacles to resolve before you can put a high powered video card into these type of Dells:
    1) As the video mentioned, the power supply needs swapping out with something that can power high end cards.
    Dell has not used a proprietary 20-pin connector since the P3 era, but look at it anyways (24 pins now) and make sure the wire colors match a standard ATX just to be sure. Then look for any funny proprietary connectors that a standard ATX PSU doesn't have. I don't think that's generally an issue in this family of Optiplexes/Precisions , but look close at pictures before buying one.
    2) The drive cage in these Dells will block longer video cards. 10.5"/267mm cards (a common length for higher end cards) will not fit.
    There's videos on youtube about how to drill out the drive cage and get rid of it.
    Honestly if I was on a really tight budget I think I'd prioritize RAM and video card before the SSD. Half the time these resold office PCs have bad hard drives in them though.
    A well designed game shouldn't run much different on a hard drive (other than taking longer to load, big deal) as long as you have enough RAM. I don't have experience gaming on Win10 though, I use Win7 which doesn't do as much stupid crap so it's not as abusive to the storage.
    ---
    As for budget PSUs: If you are knowledgeable with PSUs and study details while shopping, you can get amazing deals on eBay for power supplies that came as OEM from other prebuilt systems. People are afraid to buy them and they get dumped in volume, so their prices end up cheap. The quality of these PSUs is usually very good, you just need to find the ones with high wattage ratings that were made for ATX compatible professional workstations and such. This is the "sweat equity" alternative to throwing down Benjamins for an equivalent quality retail PSU.
    The risk is ending up with something nonstandard that you can't use. That's why you have to understand PSUs well, study the pictures, and research part numbers carefully before buying.
    When it arrives, it's a good idea to probe voltages with a multimeter to make sure everything matches the expected pinout so you don't blow anything up with it.
    If you can solder, it may open even more options to adapt PSUs that weren't wired for a standard ATX/PCIE gaming system but do have the power capacity to handle it.
    If you want to keep it simple, foolproof, etc, then stick to retail brands and spend more money.
