Dell Optiplex: Make Front Panel Standard To Use Any Motherboard
ฝัง

- This time around I decided to make a video on making dell front I/O panels standard to allow you to use any motherboard on these machines. This process is actually relatively simple and just a tad bit janky. Nonetheless, I actually have not found a proper guide doing this so I put up this one to share some knowledge not found anywhere else. This case will be used for a build in the very near future so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss what I believe to be the weirdest and most senseless build on youtube.

Thanks mate! It worked like a charm. Now I run a Ryzenplex :)
For people looking for a cheap panel to swap out the ports I used a HP Pro Desk 600 G1 SFF Frontpanel 711581, had to cut a little of the black plastic for the thicker cables but the ports fit really well.
I'm considering swapping a new motherboard into my 9010 MT so hopefully I can put this video to good use. Probably won't bother with the hard drive LED's though... Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Thanks! Just done it and it all fits really nice finish. I had a usb 2.0, two usb 3.0 and usb type c which also fit flush with the front panel! Looks sweet thanks man 🤘🏻 subbed
Thanks for letting me know I didn’t know it worked like that!
Do you mind linking the front panel ports you used?
wait a minute... I think i know you from somewhere
just finished doing this, i found that the usb's sit further forward by 2-3mm than the original, but once mounted in the case they sit perfectly flush with the case, great guide you saved me alot of headaches :)
أنا ممتناً جدا لك على الشرح .. شكرا جزيلا. تحية من تونس
Do you happen to know of any other front I/O’s that would work for this. I can’t find the Corsair one that you used in stock anywhere :(
HP Pro Desk 600 G1 SFF Frontpanel 711581 worked for me, if you still looking. Cables are too short thought so one needs extension cables for USB.
@@DerTobbes You’re awesome for this, thank you! I managed to make do with some heavy modifications and making my own usb cables but I want to do it again so I really appreciate it.
19:24 I kind of wish you filmed this part. Are the butt connectors required or could you remove the wire from the tabs on the dell connector and put them in the corsair connector?
Damn, found this after the fact. I used this method to put a 4th gen Precision mobo (has USB 3.0) into a early 3nd gen Optiplex MT case (only had 2.0) to mod & upgrade.
I pushed toothpicks under all the plastic tabs so they wouldn't break & comes apart easy. Had to cut new wire slots & was able to keep the data light also & hot glue it in place.
i wanna see it ?
Can I use this on dell optilex 7010
could you use parts from the 3020 io and just depin and repin the connectors?
Ese my chino keep up the good work 💯💯
Thank you for sharing.
wonder if this would work for a dell optiplex 740 case
Pretty pointless to be honest because the BTX motherboard standard is completely dead.
@@ELProtech I know that I wanted to salvage the case for a sleeper build and put a new motherboard in it
I didn't understand the usb not fitting problem?I understood that the usb tabs are needed in the plastic mould to make the usbs fit properly but should I do it or not?
I know this video is older, but i cant find a 750D front panel anywhere online anymor. Not looking for the whole case, just that same front panel you used in your video. Do you know another front panel part on the market i can do this with?
I used a HP Pro Desk 600 G1 SFF Frontpanel 711581, fit really well.
If you use this be aware that the USB Cables are way to short on this one so one needs extension cables.
Thanks pro
Hey I have a dell optiplex 990 and I want to put in a different motherboard what motherboard can I put in there
Literally any standard micro atx motherboard. (Intel or AMD)
@@ELProtech ok thank u
I need this in reverse, to put an optiplex mobo in a new case
Great video, thank you !
i've been looking to case swap my ptiplex 3020 but i was having a hard time because of adapters that dont work on sff models (according to the vendor).
That method should solve my problem.
Because honestly, having old optiplex front io hub inside the case and not being able to power on with the new case switch button is really disapointing.
You dont have an optimal experience.
So every optiplex have same wiring ? it's going to work with 3020 ?
(I mean rewiring in a new case to make the new case DELL optiplex 3020 friendly)
Mini towers should have the same wiring as mine in the video unsure about sff models.
Very interesting video, can I ask what case the corsair front panel came from?
750d he says in the video smh
@@edgar01111980 missed that bit, thanks
Nut-driver.....for driving Your Nuts.....
What about some of the parts for a front panel off of an old AT case?
You pretty much need just the guts I opted for a front panel of a corsair 750d because it matches the dell layout and it has standard pinouts.
Idk if you are still checking comment s but if you are then can i do this with an Optiplex 9010?
Almost certainly it's the same case design.
@@ELProtech Ok thanks
would i be able to use my dell cpu on a standard atx motherboard like msi?
Yeah dell cpu is a standard intel part.
@@ELProtech Cheers thanks man
So if I wanted to make the front USB ports and headphone jack work on the case I just put my dell optiplex in all I have to do is put the dell parts into the new case front panel and it should work rite because they say you can’t use the dell front panel on a new case.
So I did it the other way around I replaced the dell board with and aftermarket one. But if you want to use a dell board in an aftermarket case the you can swap the connectors and wires to the front panel of your new case.
Hi do you know how to change motherboard on OPTIPLEX 7470 MOTHERBOARD AIO ALL IN ONE
My best guess is to take the casing completely apart. I have never personally taken apart one of these and have no idea if they are held together with screws or plastic clips or both.
And why would you use dell components with a different mobo it hard enough with the dell mobo
If you'd rather keep everything stock. It's not impossible will require a bit of work.
If you were paying attention you noticed that the dell mic and headphone jacks were BLACK he puts in silver wow
Yep that's what happened I made it standard.
How about the 780?
The optiplex 780 has a proprietary motherboard (one that you can’t upgrade.) If your asking if a gtx 780 would work in the 3010, you would have to upgrade the power supply but then it would.
i just wanna inow how to put it in 😭😭😭
What about a dinosaur DELL 3100 LOL !? 😭 my Frankenstein project
I have a plan to do this mod and turn this into a ryzen pc is that possible?
With a motherboard swap absolutely.
I haven’t done the mod, but I do have a Ryzenplex on my page.
I put out 6 of these in the trash 🗑️. Oh well I guess to me it's not worth the time.
bro never showed us the new motherboard lol
Uhm...
