These 7040 desktops are insane. I got one for free from a place I worked at. They closed their offices and gave me a few machines for helping them with their IT stuff. I smashed 32gb DDR4 into it, gave it 2 SSDs, and a 4tb spinner. I also put a 1050ti in it and gave it to the stepson. The kid plays so much on Steam, and loves the experience he gets from it. So much that he bought me a Series S in trade for it. I know he plays the MGS games, Gta5, Spider Man, and it does all of his school work with ease. Hands down, the best PC I have worked with thus far.
Don't, I used to and I held hope but they started recommending Dell Optiplex and Alienware PCs. I know this video it's not recommended but it still doesn't make sense to make another Dell Optiplex video. they have done so many.
@@KS_Gaming05 they don’t recommend alienwares and they do recommend optiplexes because they are very good bang for buck. Only thing is they really shouldn’t endorse aliexpress
@@KS_Gaming05 I did not buy a gaming laptop from them I bought the same gaming laptop from best buy and yeah they do make a lot of Dell Optiplexs but I am not saying buy from them I am just saying they make good benchmarkings.
I have this exact setup but with an EVGA 3060ti in it. There are a few options that make it much better. This motherboard supports one gen 3 m.2 ssd (up to 2 tb) on the motherboard. Intel invented M.2 Drives and Dell computers were the first to implement them standard on all models since 2014. Based on the similar cost it is much better to use a M.2 rather than a Sata ssd for the 4 lanes of connection they have rather than the 1 lane you get with a Sata connection. You can "Clone" the hard drive to the M.2 to keep the OEM copy of windows that comes with the PC (there are many free cloning programs available online). You need to first start the computer and setup windows on the Sata drive and then "connect" the windows copy to your microsoft account by logging into your account and "registering" your copy of Windows. Then clone the original drive to the M.2 drive. After that you then set the pc Bios to boot off of the M.2. (My boot took less than 3 seconds off of my M.2!) Once this is setup and working you can then wipe the original drive and use it as storage or as a game drive. This particular tower has the room to replace the original power supply as well. You will need to cut out the rear panel to give the opening for a standard size PSU. Stop! Dremel Time! You will need the appropriate 24 pin adapter to connect the 24 pin power cable to the 8 pin connector on this Dell motherboard but those run around $6.00 - $8.00 Depending on your preferences you can do a reverse setup: I did end up swapping things around a bit. I am currently using a 256 gb Sata SSD for my boot drive, but doing that did slow my pc boot from 3 seconds to about 10 seconds but i switched my Steam library to the 1tb M.2 for faster game loading and, most importantly, to get 3 second load screens on my games instead of the 20 seconds provided by the Sata ssd. I now am usually the first to load in on multiplayer games with 3 seconds ahead of the SSD based players and up to 8 seconds ahead of HDD players giving me a huge advantage! Later, I did move the whole thing into a standard ATX case. While this board does have integrated front I/O it does still come with connections for the external front I/O of any case you would put it into. The only issue may be the power switch since Dell uses an interrupt style power switch instead of a circuit connection type, but it is easy to find the pinout solution online to fix this. (You just have to splice 2 specific wires from the case into one single wire to connect to the motherboard power switch). The main benefit of the integrated I/O on the motherboard is you can use those AND the external ones on your case AT THE SAME TIME since they are wired as separate lanes. I use 2 of the integrated front usb to power 2 seperate system monitor screens (one 3"x5" and one 3"x10") that are mounted inside my case. as well as using one of the usb connections to power a generic RGB strip running a loop inside the case. Please note that if you swap the cooler or the case you WILL want to keep the original Dell fans since the motherboard "communicates" wit them and replacing them will result in a system error on boot up that you will need to press F2 to bypass. If you keep those original fans but add additional fans or keep and relocate those fans you will not see the error. I swapped the cpu cooler to one that came with 2 fans so I added a 3 way splitter and ran both of the new fans on the cooler along with the original fan that I relocated to a custom mount so it blows onto my RAM (total of 2.7 watts on the 3 watt header). I kept the original case fan and mounted it as the back exhaust fan in my case but added 6 fans ran off of a Sata powered controller. Additionally the case intrusion alarm switch and the internal speaker switch are not needed and you can toss those if transplanting to a new case without any boot errors. I kept both of mine (switch/internal speaker) to add a joke "car alarm" to my case to amuse those I show it to. Something you can only do with a Dell :)
Forgot to include. If a Dell PC has an M.2 slot it is always ddr4 RAM. Dell moved to ddr4 at the same time they began including the M.2 slot. Dells do not support ram overclocking (up to 2666 speed, but dell offers motherboard Bios updates that enable up to 2966 speed for the optiplex 70xx and newer series) but you CAN enable RAM Boost which will tighten up the RAM timings and cut out a significant amount of RAM lag. This will show up as about 5 -10 extra FPS.
@@baddayguygaming Literally did the same thing. I put a SFF PSU and a 1070ti in it and it just ran to hot. Moved it to an atx case and did almost the excact same mods. I was blown away with the performance. BTW the outsides of the 5 pin case fan are both ground so you can mod the exhaust fan and dont have to press f1 or have an 80mm or 90 whatever it is dangling. Very well written btw. Way more eloquent than what i was gonna say.
I'm guessing the problem is the memory. Judging by the FPS counter, the memory was showing that it was maxed out. Seems like that would be the bottleneck of the system. Everything else looks good though, and honestly that's still respectable numbers to see as far as temps go, and FPS. The only thing i would have been interested in seeing more of, would have been testing during the whole upgrade process. I.E. Remove one stick of memory, because it was only supposed to come with 8GB to begin with, then test. Then, re-paste the CPU, and check the temps. Then, swap the HDD for the SSD, and test. THEN swap the GPU, and test. Finally, add that last stick of memory. This way you could see how much extra performance the computer has from start to finish.......Or at least test it in its original configuration before doing the thermal paste. Then, do the thermal paste, swap the GPU, and change to the SSD, and run the "after" test.
They can make really nice sleeper comps. I had to pass on the rx 580 due to miners flooding the used market with them for the last year, otherwise I built the same rig for our youngest son but stuffed an old maxwell Titan X ,we had from an old pc, for the gpu and it still runs under the psu rating. Really nice sleeper and he plays minecraft and similar games seemlessly.
Optiplex especially the full size ones like this midtower is a great way for the aspiring builder to learn and build his or her 1st machine with great upgrade path and these are easy to find in old office buildings schools getting rid of older machines
Wonder if you can use an RTX 3050 driver for this graphics card. From what I read, you can get game ready drivers for the A2000, don't know how true it is though.
What about ram? i want a two 16 gb but i dont know which ones i want and what size i have a buget for the ram tho 60& if anyone can help me i appreciate it 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Note, if you run into a situation of needing an adapter to use sata power to 6 pin gpu power that the sata's voltage will be limited and in some cases not sufficient as a power supply solution for GPU and depending on the driver in the GPU could actually throttle or bottlenecks performance.
12:18 the normal Game Ready Drivers work on the A2000 as well. Simply download them instead of the studio drivers. Low GPU usage is mainly because the i7 6700 is a big bottleneck for the A2000.
Guys, I have a suggestion. Can you make a review on the MSI Delta 15 AMD Advantage with R7 5800H, RX 6700M with 1TB SSD? It was going for $899 at best buy a few days back so I bought it and I'm having a blast with it. I think it's a good deal and more people should look into it considering even RTX 3050ti laptops are going for same price or more.
I think its better than my third pc, which is an apu system :P main pc is 5800x3D/rtx 2080super second pc is ryzen 3600 / gtx 1070 third pc is just a 2200g pc I put together to test my curiosity with an apu and I'm happy with it
Nice, tough to beat the 5800x3D. I always go with workstation PCs though. They almost never break, almost never crash and parts are dirt cheap. Best of all, they generally hold up to the test of time much better due to far more PCI bandwidth, quad channel ram, HUGE RAM capacity (mine does up to 512GB) and amazing ports and power supply. I built an HP Z4 G4 with the 8 core Xeon mentioned earlier, 32GB RAM and a 3070ti for about 450 bucks (already had SSDs). It's quite well balance CPU to GPU as well.
hey guys i got a question. is it weird if i found an RTX A2000 card brand new and with 1 year warranty ? or are they actually still in production ? it says Lenovo RTX A2000 6GB
Thank you so much I was able to buy a dell optplex with a 13 gen I7,16 gigs of ram, 1tb of ram and I installed a rtx 3070 to but saving for the 4070 or 4090
Just built mine in a optiplex 790 with rx 580, 16gigs of ram and 256gb ssd with 2tb gamedrive hdd any upgrades i should also do? Also have one added led fan
Ok I'm new to gaming and I bought an optiplex 3050 I think and it has the amd card in it with an i5 7th generation Intel I paid $50. It has 2 8gb memory cards and a 1tb hard drive is this going to work for gaming?
Dell RGB Gaming Desktop PC, Intel Quad I5 up to 3.6GHz, Radeon R5 340X 2GB, 16GB RAM, 128G SSD + 2TB This is the one I’m thinking about getting for SIMS 4. Do you recommend this??
had to upgrade the PSU to support a 2060 super. to test if it works at all, used an unbranded 400w office pc PSU. it worked fine at first until the PSU exploded. pc survived, which is good, but i have yet to test the gpu.
Guilty with the config. Have an optiplex 7040 i7 6700 with a A2000 RTX gpu ❤❤❤ This optiplex was going to the recycle and I just requested this from the IT dept. They just removed the hdd. So i just bought an ssd and os :) the got the keys at gvg mall. But the funny thing is…i have the sff one. So i put the card at the pcie 8x (black) port 😂 but it still working
i upgraded from a 7020 sff with a 1650 which i used to have in the pcie x4 slot 😅. i recommend getting a new case mobo and cooler because it can offer better temps and performance from the x 16 slot
Well im back at it again with my question u guys never answer to, Can i use this graphics card or a rx 6400 on my hp slimline desktop with 180w single slot?
I just started upgrading a Precision 3620, as I'm putting the new power supply and gpu in, I noticed it has an m.2 slot. Just wondering if this one has it as well.
Finally found a Xeon 1270 v3 for my optiplex 9010. i have a gtx1660 super but the i5 3570 bottlenecks it so hard. i seen and played on some good optiplex builds. how i started getting into building pc's.
Thing to check is if the system didn't originally ship with a graphics card, look up the motherboard and make sure it had x16 on the pcie slot. we inherited a bunch of dell i7 machines at work and were going to put gfx cards in, I looked up the mobo and they were only x8 so we ditched the idea.

My friend upgraded to a much more expensive setup and his Dell 7040 has a RX 5500, he took very good care of it and wants to sell it to me for $100. I don't mind an older gaming rig but will it be able to run some of today's games on it? I know I could ask him and I trust him but I wouldn't mind an outside opinion lol
i might buy a 6500 i5 optiplex 8gb from amazon 160 ish canadian do you think thats a good deal i wanna build my first pc and a gpu for like gta what would you reccomend for under 150 canadian
I have the 7040 MT myself and YES, it HOLDS 64GB of ram. It’s the only reason I bought it as I run bots on my pc that uses RAM. But, I haven’t been able to play actual games with my I5-6500k with no video graphics card inside. I’m highly considering maxing it out with the i7 and add a graphics card in order to play games. 😊
If you try it in sff optiplex, the A2000 apparently can only fit in the x4 pcie slot. The faster x16 slot is too close to the psu so only a single slot gpu like a rx 6400 low profile will fit in the x16 slot.

i upgraded from a 7020 sff with a 1650 which i used to have in the pcie x4 slot 😅. i recommend getting a new case mobo and cooler because it can offer better temps and performance from the x 16 slot
I need to find an IT department and ask if they have stuff to throw out

Is this any good?

8th gen 8700 (3.2ghz)
16 gb ddr4
512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD
UHD graphics 630
Windows 11 pro 64 bit
Depends on the price
@@Sigmamale973 $299.00. I am pleased with it, it is really fast
would the A2000 fit into an HP 800 G2 case? I have that case here and want to put a GPU in
Do they change the psu
can you put 1 TB harddrive or only small harddrive fit?
Hi ToastyBros.. Please review Optiplex 3050 SFF playing The King Of Fighters XV using Nvidia Quadro K620.. Thank You..
dose the 7040 run without any upgrades?
when was the a2000 anywhere near $250?
I haven't seen one even close to $400
I just started upgrading a Precision 3620, as I'm putting the new power supply and gpu in, I noticed it has an m.2 slot. Just wondering if this one has it as well.
Not avaliable in UK 😔
Rip
Same performance between the two i7 6700 and the 7700, same 270 chipset , 7700 is just a better built 6700.
A2000 is not readily available. Probably need another Low power without external power candidate.
Is the power supply replaceable or is it fell only?
Could you fir a RTX 4060 ti in it?
Will GeForce RTX 3060 fit in it?
How much frames with 500gb ssd
I have the opportunity to buy a "DELL Optiplex 5040 MT i5 6500-3.20 GHz 6th Gen Computer w/8GB" for 70 bucks. Should I get it?
Did you get it
@@terrafair3248 No. I had no idea how to proceed so I let it go!
So u telling me that my dad's pc that i have 12fps on roblox is a gaming pc?
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office software will allow you to backup that small HDD and recover it back to an NVME M.2 PCIe SSD stick.
Cool build but i7-6700 is quite shit nowadays. I have one and its bottlenecking rx 6400 in a lot of games.
gow dayum there are only 2 left in stock
I know this is a older video but could i put a 1660 super in it
Finally found a Xeon 1270 v3 for my optiplex 9010. i have a gtx1660 super but the i5 3570 bottlenecks it so hard. i seen and played on some good optiplex builds. how i started getting into building pc's.
Thing to check is if the system didn't originally ship with a graphics card, look up the motherboard and make sure it had x16 on the pcie slot. we inherited a bunch of dell i7 machines at work and were going to put gfx cards in, I looked up the mobo and they were only x8 so we ditched the idea.
didn’t think about a a 2$ adapter?
@@jpc3874 what do you mean? the slot was x16 size, but only x8 was available through it. an adapater will solve nothing
Interesting performance for sure.
I should have waited and bought that from you guys, damn.

My friend upgraded to a much more expensive setup and his Dell 7040 has a RX 5500, he took very good care of it and wants to sell it to me for $100. I don't mind an older gaming rig but will it be able to run some of today's games on it? I know I could ask him and I trust him but I wouldn't mind an outside opinion lol
Weird im watching this while wearing that same star wars shirt…..
I trust you guys and it’s crazy😮😮😮😮
i might buy a 6500 i5 optiplex 8gb from amazon 160 ish canadian do you think thats a good deal i wanna build my first pc and a gpu for like gta what would you reccomend for under 150 canadian
Why don't you turn on 1% lows and average fps on msi afterburner?
you probably wont see this but what do you to record
Elgato 4K60s +
Could you use an A2000 in a DeskMeet?
what opti plex in specifically works the best this guy near me has s ton of them is selling the for $50 to $70
I have the 7040 MT myself and YES, it HOLDS 64GB of ram. It’s the only reason I bought it as I run bots on my pc that uses RAM. But, I haven’t been able to play actual games with my I5-6500k with no video graphics card inside. I’m highly considering maxing it out with the i7 and add a graphics card in order to play games. 😊
you can install geforce gameready drivers on an a2000... you can install "studio" drivers on a rtx 3060...
I might have missed it in the video but can this card fit in a opti usff???
If you try it in sff optiplex, the A2000 apparently can only fit in the x4 pcie slot. The faster x16 slot is too close to the psu so only a single slot gpu like a rx 6400 low profile will fit in the x16 slot.
is dell optiplex 7040 motherboard compatible with ryzen 5 3600??
I do enjoy your videos and have subscribed....however. You said the other video is on top right of your screen.. There was nothing there and you just see you guys point to nothing. Does this mean that you have removed the other video...are you unable to watch your video after done...to see if what you are pointing at is there?
I wedged a 1660super in it with a data adapter. I’m about to lord the case a bit though, tilts really tight. Runs great!
do you use a 240w psu? i want to upgrade my gpu but i cant replace my psu
@@zakaii6430 I believe it’s a 260. Sfx psus fit.
@@zakaii6430 There’s a dude on here called Wiltshire Tutorials he does just about everything that can be done to one of these.
@@RespekfulFungus thanks
Solid starter build. In GPU intensive tasks, this configuration has 6.9% of graphic card bottleneck .
