    I turned my m92p into a decent backup gaming rig, added more RAM and a GT 1030, very surprising results quite honestly, love it.

    Have to say, it is a rather interesting experience breathing new life to older computers chucked out by businesses. I’ve done a similar project for upgrading an old optiplex 380, old core 2 duo phased out for the Q9650, and had bought the correct riser cage for it to fit a generic oem-looking single slot gtx 1050, (Though it initially was using a gt 1030 and only received the gtx upgrade back in January.) and it runs quite exemplary for an aging system.

    I actually got an old haswell i5 4440 PC for free from my school, so maybe at the end of a school year it might be good to ask an IT teacher, if there’s any old PCs laying around or beeing replaced

    Did one for my son. Put the board in a second hand case, added an nvme to the 4x slot and a gtx 1660 super in the 16x. Doubled the ram and added flashing lights... Has to boot from clover on an old pendrive (cos I'm not rewriting a bios!), but it's up in about 12 seconds. Total cost was around £280. I'm planning on adding another 16gig (£14), and a i7 4790 depending on eBay availability... He's limiting games to 200fps...

      @@MegaKrauss right, why? It has CSM and UEFI boot support, so...?
      Anyway, Xeon E3-1280 (or 1271) v3 would be the functional equivalent of the i7-4790 if you don't need IGP. (If you do want it for whatever reason, there's the E3-1276 v3). Never heard of a Haswell board that couldn't take an E3 Xeon. So there's an option in case the i7-4790 is too expensive/unavailable...

    Did this very same thing 8 years ago with an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Small Form Factor system I got for free that started life as a 4th Gen Core i5, on-board Intel Graphics, 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB HDD. Passmark scores were in the low 2000's. After upgrading the system it ended up with an Intel Core i7-4790K, 24GB DDR3 RAM, a 120GB SATA SSD, 1TB HDD storage drive, a GTX 1050 low profile 4GB GPU and a Hynix pcie 1X dual channel wi-fi card. I built the entire system for less than $400 US using all used parts with the exception of the SSD and GPU. I am still using it and this very moment as it is still my "daily driver" PC. Passmark scores are near 4500 with this new config. I played Rise of the Tomb Raider on medium setting (1080p) at over 100 FPS on average. I also played Diablo 3 at well over 80 FPS on average. No CPU/GPU bottlenecks at all. It actually out-performs both a stock 7th Gen i5 (7500)HP ProDesk 400 G4 AND a stock 8th Gen i7(8700) EliteDesk 800 G4 Tower. I have the benchmarks to prove it. I just recently swapped the GTX-1050ti with a low profile GTX-1650 but the performance gains were negligible much to my surprise. The biggest things to look out for if you plan to do something like this is make sure all your drivers are up to date as well as making sure whatever system you use has the latest BIOS version available on the manufacturer's websites. That's very important. Most all system makers like HP and Dell have your system specs and upgrade path on their websites. Just type in the model number.

      @@walterlegere1403 The system BIOS being locked never stopped MSI Afterburner from overclocking a GPU. I've overclocked a GT 1030 on a Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF with an i5-4590 (can't overclock the CPU on that, either) and gotten some considerable gains. Then again, that's a GPU bottleneck situation, so yeah, it works...
      According to PCBuilds' bottleneck calculator, you've actually got a perfectly matched CPU and GPU setup for 1080p gaming. 0% bottleneck. Congrats. You won PC balancing.

    Super vague on CPU using only one core and what you actually did around it. "I guess they weren't meant to work with CPUs like this" ???
    "I don't think this core i5 can be overclocked cooling would be a nightmare"
    No mention that that there are no overclocking options whatsoever on this type of computer/motherboard.
    You went on the Lenovo website to check for max speed compatible CPU. This means your CPU works is supported and that all the cores should work.
    You mention "got the software that tweaks your CPU" but do not mention what it is.
    Coud you elaborate on any of this a little? there are many different software tweaks your CPU.
    Then you say you "went into settings and then went into settings even more" and "I enabled the four cores". Where and how?
    I'm assuming in bios?
    Somebody disabled the others in bios?
    I don't mean to be so critical (yes I do) but I don;t mean to be mean or anything.
    A buddy came to me following your video as he is trying to do something similar.
    He was pretty confused and I had to help him out a little.
    Thanks.

      Sorry for not being more elaborate but when I made this video I didn't really know much about computers and therefore could not go into great detail about what I did. From what I remember, the software I used was Intel Extreme Tuning Utility along with CPU Tweaker. As for the steps on how I enabled all CPU cores, I typed msconfig into in the Windows search bar, opened system configuration, selected the boot menu, clicked advanced options, and then under "Number of processors" I selected the maximum. I have no idea if this really effected anything but it's worth a shot! Thanks for watching and for the questions, I hope I was able to help!

      @@hardwiredreview Hey man thanks for the reply!
      I didn't need to be as much of a jerk as I was.
      I should have tried to be more helpful vs. critical.
      I was thinking it was one of those videos where the person didn't really care and just wanted all the video views.
      The fact that you answered me the way you did tells me I was wrong in that assumption and that you are really trying to be helpful and informative.
      The menu item you are mentioning LIMITS the number of processors.
      The default is to use all of them.
      If you change this number to something like the max it will do the same thing and use ALL of your logical processors (so no change).
      You can select a lower number and use less of them.
      And unchecking the checkmark goes back to using all of them.
      The grayed out "1" when not checked does not mean anything and Microsoft is really stupid with this kind of stuff always.

    This is so goofy... You basically bought a new PC without a new motherboard.
