    Cool vid, thanks for posting this! I actually own an old 660s that I'm trying to speed up. Thanks for the tips!

    Nice video. Thank you for sharing. I saw you installing more Ram, change the thermal paste, and reinstalling the DVD drive, not installing the SSD. Did you edit that part out?

      Thanks! The SSD install was at 3:08.

    Enjoyed watching this 660 video, just upgraded & restored my 660 MT, previously upgrade to a faster i5 CPU plus 16GB of DDR3-1600 memory (was running 8GB, limited to 2 banks ... just like your SFF). Salvaging an i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4 Ghz - from a 12 years old Acer Predator gaming PC, it's now working great, much faster than the i5 CPU (Dell officially does not list any i7 CPU for these 660's built ... just make sure your Bios is the latest & updated) Using CPU-Z ID to check benchmark #'s - comparable to getting an i7-4770 or 4790 as they are all Sandy/Ivy Bridge w 1155 LGA socket, bottleneck is PCI-e 2.0 only (wish it's 3.0 like our newer Optiplex 7020/9020 MT) - should find a pre-owned eBay one for under $25 shipped. AND, Rufus USB installed latest Windows 11 Pro (23H2 updated) with TPU 1.2 enabled in UFEI (ACHI) mode - 250GB SSD as boot drive, plus a 1TB SATA and 1.5 TB SATA HDD for data storage (RAID home server) Intel HD Graphics is fine over HDMI - had a half-height GeForce GTX 750Ti in the PCIe 16X slot but wasn't really doing much as this isn't used for gaming - didn't want to overload the power supply (660s PS is lower in output/wattage, as you know) Just thought you should know on possible upgrade path at very low cost, and it works fine. Have a spare M.2 SSD with the PCI-e adapter card, going to play & see if I can "hack" the Bios or use one of the workaround to paste the device driver into the OS to boot up. Think we can extend the usable service life for easily another 3 to 5 years, until MS roll out Windows 12 ... then, this PC will get Linux Ubuntu or Mint. Regards.

      The ram slot should be next to the CPU cooler. If you cannot find it, look up the motherboard on Google and it should show you where the RAM slot is located.

      Usually you have to change it in the BIOS but I believe it stays at 1333. I don't think you can change it on this PC. I just have 1600mhz sticks.

    you don't have to take the cpu out of the pc to clean it. day will come when you will destroy the cpu in your complicated cleaning process.
